That's the thing, it doesn't matter how well it does because they aren't getting MY money. Many people are refusing the consumption of goyslop media that otherwise would have pushed that number way higher.

Dumbasses keep going to watch the film to, "critique," it. Also, it's astroturfed. They are buying influencers out to plug the movie, using fraud to buy out theaters (that end up empty) and using AI bots to corrupt the aggregate reviews. It's literally that simple. Influencers are taking checks to plug the movie in subtle ways. It's not hard to figure out. They've finally found a way to break down resistance to Current Thing. The only answer left to this sort of shit is going to be political violence.

All the reviews/comments I've seen about this movie indicate that it's meh at best, inaccurate on average, cringe most of the time.
"Our age of bronze is collapsing" is a real line from the movie.
And the whole "we must destroy foreign invaders who want to conquer and destroy my realm while I'm gone" motif from the end of the authentic story is gone, completely out the window.
I kinda get that though.
Imagine a movie in 2026 where the noble wise old hero king comes home to his country only to find muslims and blacks all over his streets, in his shops, inside his women, and trying to woo his wife... and he kills them excitedly because it's the right thing to do like in the book?
Nolan couldn't direct it if he tried. He's too gay and weak for such bravado and wisdom.
But more crucially, he doesn't want to show the modern white man that it's ok to be white, or that it's ok to kill invaders.
So of course his movie retcons the ending and makes it about sóilet cuckish self-pity, because that's the only type of character he can direct: a projection of himself.

>>539595317
>they weren't massive parts
Being part of it at all is enough.

The negress is only attractive by sub-saharan African standards, so it makes no sense today or historically to portray Helen of Troy as some negress.

I never thought for a moment that Ellen Page was going to be one of the main stars, but the fact that she was even cast as a minor male character is enough to turn many people off.

Also
>tracking to pass 1B at the box office
The studio only gets about 25% of the foreign box office receipts, so to make a nice profit they need most of that Billion to come from America where the studios keep about 50% of receipts.

I fully expect the movie to turn a profit, if not at the box office then in bluray sales and digital sales, but it likely won't be a huge money-maker. It was made to win awards, and because they ticked all the diversity boxes I'm sure the movie will win tons.

I still don't plan on seeing it. I'm unironically looking forward to the Grok version more than Nolan's version

Being a basement dwelling incel really doesn't matter because I was born white and that means I was born smarter than you, that's why no matter how much money is given to members of your race they can't even make a movie that is decent. Do you understand how much of a fucking stupid adult child you have to be to be too worthless to even make a movie that people care about? Like how uncharismatic could you be? I can see why these people are constantly on here trying to convince white men to kill themselves because imagine being born stupid and inferior to an entire group of people and having to see all the women in your family obsessing over them every single day of your life like I'd be spamming 4chan every day too if I was them lmao

The thing is its not that good. Oh sure the cinematography is nice, the soundtrack is that classic bass-bosted Nolan stuff youve come to expect since Dunkirk, but most of the acting is wooden, the action pedestrian, character motivation and behavior often contradictory from one scene to the next...
Its a 5 out of 10 film

it is dog shit, and not even just because of trannies and niggers - you dont even need that. it shouldve been a trilogy of 3 movies, shit happens so fast youd have to have lifelong adhd to think its good

It didnt have to be a trilogy
Troy from 2004 condenses a multi year long siege into a couple hours and its a great swords-and-sandals action flick

LMAO! I saw it yesterday. The movie is tight. Athena (a goddess that can take any form and is older than the concept or race) is half black and Helen is black, but they had a German woman playing Helen in 2004, which /pol/ didn't have a problem with.

let's assume that what you wrote were true, that THE ODYSSEY were tracking to pass $1B world wide...
the film cost $250M to film and $125M to market, and theaters take about half, so they need to make about $800M to brake even.
so... $1B - $800M = $200M.
wow.

N/A
> Total
$132,962,257.50 −68553594.5

They spent:
> Budget
$250,000,000
> Marketing
$125,000,000
> Nolan's cut (20% of gross) i.e. if the movie makes $322,043,315 they have to pay Nolan $64,408,663, and that $64,408,663 comes out of the $132,962,257.50 they get to keep after the theaters take their cut.

Without factoring in Nolan's cut, they've lost $117,037,742.50, $242,037,742.50 if you count the marketing. That means they need to make approximately another $251,631,146.375 ($573,674,461.38 in total) to make back it's production costs and $520,381,146.38 ($842,424,461.38 in total) to make back it's production and marketing costs (breaking even) and would It need to make around $900 million to make any profit.

If you do factor in them needing to pay Nolan 20% of gross then I believe they would need to make around $322,956,685 more ($645,000,000 worldwide) to make back their production costs and $645,456,685 more ($967,500,000 worldwide) to make back it's production plus marketing. Which means it would need to break $1 billion to make any sort of profit, and $1.5-$2 billion to make any remarkable returns on investment.
>>
>>539599921
you also have to consider that not every ticket purchase was made by an individual person. There have been several reports online of theaters being "sold out" only to be completely empty inside; which means companies are buying out tickets to create the illusion of popularity; manufacturing consent that THIS is what THE PEOPLE want and enjoy.

So on top of making the money and marketing; you also have to take into consideration the amount of money spent on "buying out" theaters nationwide.

The ticket sales are fake. They are using this movie to launder money

>to make any remarkable returns on investment.
I didn't watch thew movie and I am not going to watch it. But the % return on high cost things is usually low and they do not need to make remarkable returns.
I.e. building a ship that costs 1bln$ usually earns a company only 1-2% of it.
But seeling goyslop for 1$ has return of 500%.
>>
A movie can have a horrible casting, inaccurate props and costumes, be a bad adaptation etc And still be entertaining

Emily Wilson is a mid-wit gender-freak wokeist.
Her translation is shit and she did it all based on OTHER translations and a fucking dictionary.

I refuse to read her translation, there's no need to. But I did read a scholarly review of her translation that says she portrays Polyphemus as a heroic character and Odysseus as the evil patriarchy. That's enough for me to see it as a feminist retelling of the story and not a faithful translation.
>>
Nolan was smart and in one sense based. Hiring ellen the detranser was a gesture of kindness to someone absolutely messed up who has worked with him before. She's useless but the character is fairly pointless and minor. Helen hardly matters in the Odyssey, which is a story about men. Nolan doesnt even let women lend feminine charm to Circe or the Sirens. Least inclusive Odyssey ever made. Odysseus going his own way. The foids deserve it.

He used these two stunt castings to bait the media into giving him free publicity.
