Voltaire 4,563 Posted July 12, 2022 4 hours ago, Hawkeye21 said: Or people could quit being offended by everything. Fock this. The customer is always right. The best way to fight back against it is withhold your dollars and eyeballs. The entertainment industry has no claim on my attention or my wallet even when they don't violate my values, and especially not when they go out their way to do so. The point of enough people saying "no" to woke movies is to make them lose money so as to reconsider what they are doing. If they cater to the woke crowd and enough people like their woke movies, then they'll make money so they can go make more woke movies. No problem there, I respect everyone's right to make those decisions. On a cultural level, I like seeing woke movies flop and non-woke movies succeed but I can only control my own spending habits, which speaking for myself, I'll wait for something else.

Sean Mooney 1,184 Posted July 12, 2022 So the budget for Thor: Love and Thunder was 250 million and it has already made 303 million worldwide. Also- according to Deadline, Quote Outside of North America, Love and Thunder grossed $15.7 million from 17 markets on its opening day, surpassing the first-day overall results of Thor: Ragnarok (2017) by 39%.[150] Its weekend gross was $159 million from 47 markets, making it the MCU's ninth-largest overseas debut ever and the third-largest for any Hollywood film released in the COVID-19 pandemic. It set several international box office milestones in its opening weekend, marking the second-highest pandemic opening in Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines, while earning the third-highest in numerous territories, including Brazil, Italy, Thailand, Singapore and Argentina. As of July 10, 2022, the film's largest markets internationally are Korea ($15.3 million), the United Kingdom ($14.8 million), Australia ($13.8 million), Mexico ($11.8 million) and India ($10.3 million) But yes- let's clutch pearls because China won't show it. Also, if making 53 million dollars is now "being canceled" maybe the dopey people arguing "canceled" need to define what that term means. It must suck for HT to get truth f#@%ed as much as he does.

All this good news and yet the stock was down over 2 pct today. Weird. And a movie has to double its budget to turn a profit. You didn’t know that? So they haven’t made anything yet. But they will. Just not as much. Owned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean Mooney 1,184 Posted July 12, 2022 Also for informational purposes: Thor was made for 150 million and made 450 million worldwide so 3X its budget. Thor: The Dark World was made for ~160 million and made 645 million so ~4X its budget. Thor: Ragnarok was made for 180 million and made 853 million so like ~4.5X its budget.
