Are we officially reaching the beginning of the end for IPs for animation and capeshit, with new originals like Digital Circus, Backrooms, and Obsession performing far better and getting more attention than IPs like MCU, Star Wars, and Disney since people want new things?How long until the large dinosaurs shift gears and start focusing only on originals again instead of IPs bombing?
>>154003763>Backrooms>original
>>1540037984chan is not an IP
>>154003763Obsession is the only one not based on an existing idea or with an online following
>>154003763Backrooms meme is cringe like all creepypasta slop but in a weird way im glad its doing better then some legacy IP shit. Also i love horror movies but i couldnt watch obsession because the premise reminded me too much of myself when i was a horny teenager.
>>154003806Your dumb greentexts WILL be farmed to feed the content mill
>>154003828You are cringe.
>>154003763>like MCU, Star Wars, and Disneyyou just said the same thing 3 times retardand the backrooms is textbook industry plant shit. the "director" is a nepobaby and all the work, from screenplay to screen, was done by older professionals.
>>154003763Digital Circus isn’t even out yet AND it’s tracking lower than even Mandalorian and Flopku. Not sure why you snuck that one in. The others are true though.
>>154003953Because he’s a faggot
>>154003953Forgot to give the number, 12-15 million opening weekend. Not even close to any of the mainstream IPs OP listed.
>>154003763Movies and comics based on old IPs are actually fine so long as they are not gay and woke. Basically every major IP for like ten years has failed because of this
>>154003953Digital Circus just needs to make back to cost of distribution to justify the stunt. Harder now, but still many people will watch it on the big screen.
>>154003953Who cares about how the leaked disaster of a finale is doing?The show was the single biggest animated series since SU
>>154003953>Not sure why you snuck that one into farm (you)s from the current board FOMO
>>154003798Exactly, this shit was stolen from US It was a shitpost spoopy post from /x/
>>154004049>>154004059OP said it was going to destroy Star Wars, Marvel, ect. Even He Man is going to trounce it next week. I’m guessing either a 5th or 6th place debut depending on how far Mandalorian drops in its third weekend.
>>154003763I feel like almost every bit of talk on here recently about /co/ stuff is just anons acting like marketers.
>>154003763>far better and getting more attention than IPs like MCU, Star Wars, and Disney since people want new things?Highest grossing movie of the year is currently Super Mario Galaxy, next month is Moana, Minions, Spiderman, Avengers etc. Obsession wont even be on the top 20
>>154004288It applies to most media discussion nownow. People are very aware that if something they like flops they will get less if it or if something they hate succeeds they will get more. People just want something predictable, quality doesn't guarantee more quality.
>>154004559>next month is Moana Oh, Christ, why'd you have to remind me...
>>154003832>>154003806That doesn't make 4chan an IP.4chan is a generator for IPs though. Backrooms, Slenderman, SCP and now the Backrooms, this goddamn messageboard is a true House of Ideas.But it must remain FREE. Because tge creativity will die once some dumbfuck decides it must be controlled
>154006073>said Backrooms twiceFUCKI meant to say Katawa Shoujo. But point is - this place is a place to create new and original content
>>154003828>gets curious>reads synopsis of obsessionThe hairs on the back of my neck literally stood on their ends when I read that shit dude how the fuck could you not be into that? I'd have a perma boner the entire time watching.
>>154006073Slenderman was a something awful thing doe
>>154006115Yeah, a decade ago, we don't even create new shitty memes anymore anon.
>>154006115Mods have been on a banning spree amd litterally shitting up swaths of 4chan.Its nigh impossible to do anything note worthy. And litteral shit stirrers attempting to kill projects are everywhere.
>>154003953Mandal and the Grog is gonna make way more money but it won't offset the budget. It's going to flop. Digital Circus has already made a profit from presales alone, so it's already a success. Huge revenues don't matter if your budget is also gargantuan.
>>154006125Uh huh...
>>154006164Maybe I read too many Yandere fanfics in HS but you seem like a MAJOR fag rn anon
>>154006134Fair point, but the other IPs were all 4chan. Especially Katawa Shoujo.>>154006137>>154006150It'll happen again. It just gotta be organic. Never underestimate human creativity - there is a reason why I stay on /co/. Where a shit board like /tv/ is devoid of any creativity, webcomic artists, industry artists and just general freelancers hang around here. Its why /co/ is one of the best boards, alongside its rival /a/ and /tg/.
>>154006242>Its why /co/ is one of the best boardsNot even saying you’re wrong, but it’s sad that it’s probably true.Though I’d assume /an/ and /diy/ are better
>>154006307Dude /an/ is gigadead. It's last gasps happened after that shitty april fools joke a year or two ago. Nowadays it's all just random losers arguing about dinosaurs having feathers and whether dogs or cats are supreme
>>154003806>>154003832>>154003798Y'know whats funny?SCP has been around a lot longer and has been milked far greater. But other than maybe a few fan films there hasn't really been a hollywood grade movie based on it. There's been some stuff on youtube but like I said, not hollywood.maybe its better this way
>>154006483I have to assume that's because the overarching 'IP' of SCP is constructed out of a fuckton of different stories written by different people. Gotta be difficult to get the rights for that.
>>154004059SU was never financially successful. It was pushed by the network and astroturfed by queers online who fellated it endlessly despite not buying any of the merchandising. Most of the shows the TADC "fandom" praises fall into that same category really. TADC itself atleast moves some merch (?). All the brown magical girl faggot shows sure as shit didnt.
>>154003828Retard. The success of both of those films has ensured we will be subjected to a decade (or more) worth of other gay ass creepypasta/greentext/tilefucker film adaptions. This is not at all the win people continue to praise it for being. At the very least the rape of capeshit and sci-fi will end, but it will be replaced by the likes of fucking cartoon cat and sirenhead.
>>154006483The SCP Wiki, where most of the ideas for creatures and researchers are, is Creative Commons; which means anyone can do whatever they want with it, as long as it's non-commercial, so no theatrical releases. The "Backrooms" idea was just a two-sentence post. There is a Backrooms Wiki as well, which is also under a CC license, but you don't even need to touch that to make anything Backrooms-related.That, in a nutshell, why it's harder to make a theatrical SCP movie than it is to make one for the Backrooms; everything recognizably "SCP" is on the Wiki, while all they had to do with the Backrooms movie was base it off of the director's pre-existing work on YouTube, which are what got him attention in the first place.
>>154003827Obsession is just The Monkey's Paw for zoomers.
>>154003798Fpbp
>>154003798>use a two-sentence post as a template, as dozens of others have>put your own twist on it, with its own characters and universe>get popular enough that the weirdos from A24 think your ideas are worth a shot on the big screen>jealous literal-whos get buttmad that their two-sentence idea won't get them royalties when a 20-year-old makes a movie about it 7 years laterSkill issue.
>"It's nowhere close to the box office numbers of Toy Story or Star Wars"True but you also have to take into account the budget going in. I doubt Digital Circus' finale budget is anywhere close to the mainstream Hollywood films.Star Wars has gotten Iike 200 million so far, but that's not even breaking even compared to its 400 million budget, which is really bad considering it's been out a couple weeks already.Honestly the biggest problem with Hollywood is that they've clearly got way too much bloat going on if a movie doing 300-400 million dollars is barely even breaking even half the time.
>>154003806there WILL be a wojak movie and you WILL watch it.
>>154008811it should not be anything short of the worst fucking thing you've ever seen.
