Rob Liefeld is SEETHING.
>>150163362Pretty sure seething is all Rob does these days.

>>150163362I would be surprised if the marketing was only half the film budget.
>>150163362>twitter>boxofficeposting>Rob Liefeld calling someone a shillSwear to god, it just needs some blueberries and this will be my personal hell.
>>150163362He calls people shills but then sucks off Superman. Is he being paid by Warner Bros or just hates Disney?
>>150163362>tweet reporting how much a movie has made so far and its budget>called a shill
>>150163362>>150163546He is insane.
>>150163362I'm sort of with Rob here, I'm not sure about his estimate but the shill part is probably correct.Someone on /v/ once sardonically asked how you can tell a shill from an enthusiast and the answer is simple, shills try to promote or sell you something.Someone just stating the worldwide gross is handing facts for you to interpret as you like, someone insisting on a budget for comparison is obviously trying to make sure the public and shareholders take away that it was profitable, therefore good.
>>150163362Even if you only count the movie's budget, considering the studio only gets 50% of the ticket sales domestically, 40% overseas, and 25% from China specifically.Currently, it's at $506,626,180.00$266,126,180.00 for the U.S.A. and Canada combined. I can't confirm if Canada splits their ticket sales 50/50 with the U.S.A. and have no reason to believe they aren't going by foreign territory rules but since the studios lump those numbers together as one I'll give them a handicap and assume they work the same as the U.S.A.Overseas, they've amassed $234,948,936.00, and in China $5,551,064.00. That breaks down to:> Domestic: $133,063,090.00> Foreign: $93,979,574.00> China: $1,387,766.00This leaves us with a grand total of $228,430,430.00 grossed worldwide for the studios, which means they've only made $28,430,430.00 on this movie so far, not counting any tax credits they may have gotten or subtracting the marketing budget which is contentious (though if reports are to be believed they may be as high as $71,569,570.00 in the hole, still.) Either way, a far cry from a "tentpole film."Unfortunately, I do not forsee a scenario where they kick their talent-less nepo baby hires to the curb, reign in political nonsense, and hire talented and attractive people to make and star in their movies made with an aim of satisfying the majority demographic. As such, we may be seeing a gradual death knell that results in an inevitability where we only produce low quality A.I. generated slop and have studios attempt to lobby for foreign media to be outlawed by a chicken tax.
>>150163566thats one name for him, i could think of many MANY more
>>150163362Leifeld BTFO
>>150163546He really, really hates Disney and Marvel now.
>>150163546The latter and for the dumbest reason imaginableThey didn't invite him to a party for Deadpool and Wolverine
>>150163362Ah yes, the always nebulous marketing costs that always make it so that a film needs to make at least a billion over budget to be even 1% profitable.
>>150163566Based,thats why hes my fucking favourite drawtard
>>150163362Movie theaters dont run on hopes and dreams
>>150163362>Is not invited to a party>Goes insane
>>150163660>assume they work the same as the U.S.A.Generally the case with the large circuits (e.g. AMC, Regal, etc.) in NA.>not counting any tax credits they may have gottenGenerally, the publicly released budget includes the tax credit deduction before it's 'publicly released' - they aren't going to proclaim $200M if they actually got say $20M as well from say Georgia.>attractive peopleSidney Sweeney's most recent movie for Lionsgate barely cracked a reported $500K in over 1100 theaters, and hasn't reported box office since. Last Showgirl, with Pam sans makeup, Jamie Lee Curtis' white hair under a wig, and that eternal beauty Dave Bautista, made $7M in as many theaters, as just one example
