I feel bad for the Saudis who funded this film. They splurged such a massive budget, they even went out of their way to appease American sensibilities by making the male lead a black man and the female lead a heckin girlboss. They shot almost entirely on location in the desert instead of using greenscreen. And it STILL flopped.
>>220413362obviously the hebrews are at fault
>>220413362>They splurged such a massive budgetspare change behind sofa for them
The funds didn't just go to the movie it went to infrastructure to start a film industry in Saudi Arabia.
>>220413395Didn't they recently downzise their NEOM project down to 1%?
>>220413362>to appease American sensibilitiesit was to appease yuros. the bongs are the ones who make every character black in every bbc show
>>220413362Feeling schadenfreude, NGL.
>>220413362I met a Saudi kid and he left his dre beats headphones on the bar when we sat down at a table. after the beer we were going to another bar, so i said 'your headphones...' he looked over to the bar about 15ft away and said 'ech, i will just get new ones'. because he didn't want to walk that far. What I'm saying is I think they'll be ok
I don't feel bad for them at all because they'll keep being rich and they can learn from this
Wish they spent more on universities instead of gimmicky tourist-bait infrastructure.
>>220413418lollmao
>>220413362It was most likely money laundering
>>220413430And you actually believe thats representative of the general population there
>>220413362Shit had zero promo
>>220413362>I feel bad for the Saudis
>>220413362Maybe they should have tried advertising as well?
>>220413362Imagine feeling bad for billionaire towel heads that want nothing but see you dead.
>>220413487What would universities do?The west has already collapsed the market with an oversupply
>>220413751well, i didn't want my post to be too long but that was the third guy doing something like that that i encountered. do you not know anything about saudi arabia? do you not know about like, how there's oil there, or anything?
>>220413430Beats are trash, that's why. Real audiophiles have custom built headphones.
>>220413956Well oil doesn't make you rich in on itself, just look at venezuela, has the largest oil reserves ever recorded in history and is just a shithole country
>>220413751Think about how blacks don't care much and buy things even when they don't need them or when they're cheaper elsewhereNow think about what would happen if the US lost everyone but its black people, but still had all its oilThat's saudi arabia
>>220414003Wasn't the oil industry originally constructed by white people there, even their architecture was commissioned to white people
>>220413362Nobody knew this movie even existed. The only place I even heard about it was here and that was after it had already flopped. Also who the fuck in their right mind thinks Anthony Mackie has lead character energy?
>>220413751Yes, I do put more stock into what I can see and experience myself. For example, no matter how many times I'm told niggers are smart and peaceful, I have yet to personally meet this mythological beast.
>>220414021Yes
>>220413418Americans [on the internet] are completely unable of self-reflecting
>>220414146bongs made a show where the queen of england was black. every dr who episode is like 90% black. casting blacks is a yuropean thing. it's why they only started doing it when they started targeting the global market
>>220413487>it's a box>where most of the space is away from the windows
>>220414198Americans made Lovecraft Country and the new Watchmen. Thoughts?
>>220414212and no one watched them
>>220413362>From the country that brought you 9/11I can’t imagine why Americans aren’t paying to go see it
>>220414425>>From the country that brought you 9/11Are you sure?
Yes this zesty buck will sell our movie, at least he dont sell out to china
>>220413362They hired people that can make a movie (or at least something that looks like a movie) but didn't have any marketing or distribution infrastructure.
>>220414198>>220413362Why are they trying to claim it was whites that ever pushed this weird woke shit?
>>220413362>I feel bad for the Saudis who funded this filmI don't. Saudis don't deserve their oil aealth
>>220413362Hage you read the reviews? The script was the main problem with it.
>>220414425israel?>>220416108when did I claim it was whites? I said it was yuros
>>220413362Arabs are incompetent as fuck. Everything they have is built by foreigners with their oil money that they got by having foreigners extract the oil for them.Next time they hire someone to make a movie there they should also hire a marketing team so people will know about it.
>>220416108It's always been majority whites. Finding the handful of (((whites))) involved doesn't change the math.
>>220413362Even the director Rupert Wyatt quit the picture in 2023 and the editor was promoted to finish the film.
