I'll bet these same outfits and possibly even the writers themselves were praising this type of behavior from the studios during covid.

SPOILER ALERT: DVDs and BluRay did not kill Hollywood. They did not even damage Hollywood's earnings at any point in time. Nor did piracy.

If You Don’t See These Movies Now, You Never Will

A growing wave of movies pushes back against the logic of infinite availability.

By Sam Adams | June 13, 2024 5:52 PM

When a film slides from theaters to on-demand to streaming without a gap, there’s no particular moment at which you have to see it, which for many people means they don’t. You need only glance at your to-do list for a lesson on how easily something you can do anytime becomes something you never do. But Green’s “ephemeral cinema” is part of a growing wave of films that push back against the logic of infinite availability. These movies are possible to miss.

6ix, if you can see a movie anytime and anywhere you are, why see it at the time and place your local cinema decided for you? And why pay for the cinema when you can see the movie for free? What kind of idiot wants a local businessman to tell them to show up for an appointment to view his products for sale? That idiot would be a crowd of movie-going teenagers with nothing to do but hang out together.

You better do something about those budgets now, Hollywood. Those poor actors are going to have to downgrade their mansions when they start getting paid what they're worth.

According to Google and Wikipedia, it cost $168 Million to make. That right their sets the failure in stone if it's true. It's not going to make more than $420 Million to break even. Bruce doesn't have numbers on the budget yet.

It made only $3.5 Million in previews, and his model's prediction is showing only $30 Million this weekend in the US, although he says that based off of Fury Road he thinks it could possibly make $40 Million in the US this weekend.

This far out and with how little it's grossing currently, it's a slim possibility that Furiosa doesn't even make its budget back.

This is about a $240 to $250 Million loss for Warner Bros.

I think it's a pretty safe bet it makes the $168 Million Production Budget back at this point, not that it means anything.

What needs an explanation is the question: Why does anyone continue to go to movie theaters when every movie is available for free and at home? 6ixStringJack, your explanation is that movie revenue dropped because Biden is President and Hollywood is "woke" supporting Biden. That is also Trump's explanation.
