/tv/ is in an imaginary war with Hollywood (as in, any relatively big film studio) because of woke, and they believe that either they all will go bankrupt in two more weeks if every other movie flops or that these companies staying afloat despite some flops will make normalfaggots wake up or something and raze the studios and kill the kikes that rule Hollywood or some shit like that.
See people tell me I'm schizophrenic and tell me to take meds, but it's true.

The numbers matter because it indicates if more of that sort of movie will get made or you will never see that sort of movie again.

Movie budgets are generally what some literal who guessed on twitter or some shit

I'm sure Benny Safadi, The Rock, and biopics will still all exists in Hollywood after this.

>arthouse
Almost none of the American indie films can be classified as that. Regular ass dramas are just weird to normalfaggot brains thay got fried by years of capeshit. A24 has produced / distributed a relatively small amount of films (compared to their total output) that kinda border being classified as arthouse. I can think of Spring Breakers, Under The Skin, The Lighthouse, Lamb, I Saw the TV Glow, Showing Up, Janet Planet, first two USA Lanthimos movies, A Ghost Story, Climax, High Life.

Maybe if Hollywood functioned on one: clean honest capitalism, and two: only on theatre revenue. Neither is true. Some films make their worth back with awards, other films make their money back through digital / streaming / physical. Other movies become cult classics down the line even if they were ignored by awards and didn't make money. Prestige is important unless you're Hallmark or Marvel Studios. Then you need to take in the fact that a lot of films provide shit like tax cuts, are partly funded by the government through state handouts (almost every movie in the credits thanks whatever state they shot the movie in), there's also "Hollywood accounting" where they purposefully inflate the actual budgets and don't end up losing as much money as it seemed. With A24 specifically, being a distribution company mainly they usually need to make the money they spent on buying the film for distribution and for marketing back, not the movie's budget. With The Smashing Machine they participated in production but it was produced by four companies. So if it's a loss or not for A24 specifically depends on what share of the money they spent on production. When budget is divided like this a film that's technically a flop might not actually be a big problem for each individual company because they either only paid a small amount or had some other more successful projects.

rockbros... he wasn't supposed to lose, his contract says so!

Not even One Battle After Another is making money so I wouldn't care so much.

>Quality R rated drama flopping at the BO in an era dominated by shitty sequels/remakes of franchise crap
Imagine my shock

>people defending it didn't even bother watching it either.

>>215081749
Rock is torpedoing it by being a bitch about it but it really is a prestige film for him and box office doesn't matter.

That film is at 102 million after 10 days, with it's overinflated budget it ain't gonna make money anyway but it seems to be overperforming either way. It's a three fucking hour Pynchon-based comedy/thriller in what year would this kind of movie even become an actual hit? Possible 200 million by the end of the run is already more money than this kind of movie one would expect to make.
I honestly don't know what they spent 150 million on in that. DiCaprio? It's not a film with really massive set pieces or some elaborate action. Garland made Civil War for 50 million and that film ends with 20 minutes of nonstop tactical action. VistaVision couldn't have been the costly part because Corbet shot The Brutalist on VistaVision and only spent 10 million on the movie.
