FANTASTIC FLOP DROPS 80% FROM LAST WEEK

I lost all interest when I saw the cast. Every single one of them is wrong. Somehow the 2014 FF movie has a better cast

>>213318523 (OP)
for me, it's the fact that can't watch bogggged women. It shatters my immersion

We are done with marvel bro we are dx chads now

>>213318523 (OP)
I don't usually console war this shit but it's pretty obvious the reviews were going very easy on it, you can see stuff by overseas people that aren't in the same media bubble that can see it was full blown terrible. I don't know if it was Americans just getting anxious waiting to praise a Marvel movie that wasn't clearly awful like Thunderbolts or Captain America.

It's now tracking well below Superman...

>>213318523 (OP)
No way that's 80%

>>213318565
no it didn't

BEHOLD THE MARVEL DEATROYER

Good

Capeshit is finally dying

>>213318697
While FF is a flop I thibk the comparison with Gunnman is disingenuous. FF is a property that has never done well at the box office, it’s always been considered C-list. The last FF movie made no money, so that’s the bar. Superman is a bona fide A lister. The original movie was enourmous, and Man of Steel was a modest success. Gunnman is doing worse than the last Superman movie; First Steps is doing better than the last FF movie. Moreover, Gunnman is supposed to be the inaugural movie of a new cinematic universe. First Steps is like the 40th MCU movie, shit it’s the THIRD MCU movie just this year.

Bigger capeshit second weekend drop is Ang Lee’s Hulk at 69% followed up by BvS at 68%

These are really bad numbers... Will it even break $500 million?

At this point who do you not consider Pedro a box office cancer. What movies has he led to success?

>>213318849
I wouldn't even consider superman an A-lister. It never does well outside of the US. True A-list capeship is like batman/spiderman/xmen&wolverine.

>>213318849
Idiot. Batman Begins did worse than Batman & Robin. Why? Because that movie ruined the brand. Behind rebuilt it. What this movie doing. Now highest domestic grossing Superman movie ever. It’s going to end with a domestic close to The Batman. All capeshit is under performing overseas this year and China is out of the cspeshit game

>>213318523 (OP)
Jesus, that's worse than The Flash. Also good, seems that capeshit will finally die, see >>213317156

>>213318849
>FF is a property that has never done well
tbf this is also kind of disingenuous. This is an MCU Fantastic 4 that is being billed as the direct lead up to Avengers Doomsday, not just some random Fox or Sony F4 movie trying to cash in on capeshit hype. Also it's not as if Superman has been a huge box office juggernaut for 45+ years now.

>>213318987
Fantastic Four continuously fails to meet early estimates so we could see those numbers

no one cares about them

>>213318629
/tv/ was always a DC board, the biggest things to happen in /tv/ history were Baneposting, the release of Batman v Superman, and all their consequences.

>>213319047
Of course he’s an a-lister. Everyone knows this character. His merchandise sales are huge. His comics have sold by far the highest number. There’s millions of supermen trick or treating every year. His movies have always been successful, the first one being one of the biggest movies of all time.

>>213319138
>His movies have always been successful, the first one being one of the biggest movies of all time.
that was the only one that was successful

>>213318849
>Superman movie; First Steps is doing better than the last FF movie.
well yeah, the last F4 movie bombed catastrophically in every way possible. that's like saying Superman Returns can be looked positively upon because it did better than Superman IV. When the bar is that low, surpassing it means nothing. The Batman also did worse than TDKR, but nobody is calling that a flop because it "did worse than the last one".

>>213319093
Bad comparisons abound. Batman and Robin was the termination of a duology; Batman Begins started a new trilogy. Man of Steel started a new shared universe, so your implication that somehow MoS “ruined” the Superman brand is a convenient excuse for Gunnman’s wire full box office.

>FF and SM25 both underperforming
Is it finally almost over?

>>213319138
>his comics have sold the highest number
that's only because he's the oldest. Spider-Man is easily the highest selling comic when you adjust for that.
>his movies have always been succesful
Legitimately the only two of his movies that were hits were the original in 1978, and the sequel, which even then didn't do as well as the original. And half of that was because it was a novelty to see the flying effects at the time. Superman 3 and 4 bombed horribly, IV flopped, and Man of Steel just did modestly well.

>>213319214
Woeful box office*
It’s really a heads-I-win-tails-you-lose argument isn’t it? If Gunnman did better you can say it “saved the brand” if Gunnman did worse thou say MoS “ruined the brand” (which is silly since many DCU movies followed MoS wake.)

>>213319250
I meant to say Returns flopped*

>>213319214
>Man of Steel started a new shared universe
It rode on a lot of goodwill from the Nolan movies, and Nolan was producer

>>213319269
NTA but it was less Man of Steel and more, every DC movie of the past 5 years. They'd had nothing but pure shit.

Joker 2, Flash, Aquaman 2, Wonder Woman 1984, Shazam 2.

Anyone saying MoS, a 14+ year old movie that did it is dumb, but the DC brand was undeniably tarnished and seen as temu MCU.

>>213318523 (OP)
Okay, so is it fair to say that every single fantastic forum movie has been a flop?

>>213319121
No this isn’t the direct lead into anything. It’s the last MCU movie for a full calendar year, and the “beginning” of a new phase. Brand New Day is going to lead into Doomsday with the whole Peter/Tony Stark shit, and it’ll probably make 2 billion

apologize

>>213319334
Yes I agree, the DC brand has been dragged through the mud, and people blaming one of the only actual successful DC movies in recent history is stupidity

>>213318523 (OP)
People don't like the Fantastic Four. They've gone several years not even being able to sustain a monthly book.

>>213318523 (OP)
Capeshit is dead. Bury it.

>>213319269
No. If Superman crashed after opening weekend and didn’t have good word of mouth and legs, Gunn would have failed at rebuilding the brand which was the goal of this movie.

>>213319219
I doubt it. It’s gonna take several more flops in a row to finally kill capeshit.

>>213319219
Avatar 3 making 3 billion will drive the steak into the heart of capeshit

no one wants to look at bogged retards

>>213318523 (OP)
Pedo Rascal fatigue combined with Marvel fatigue. Also Fantastic Four is boring as fuck, I don't know why Marvel just can't let go of it. They haven't been popular since 60s. Pedo Rascal cannot carry Marvel, it will be another Brie Larson.

I didn't like either of these movies and I'm not interested in the DCU going forward but I'm enjoying seeing the MCU take an L.

>>213318656
>I don't know if it was Americans just getting anxious waiting to praise a Marvel movie
What the fuck, is this correct?

>>213319441
yeah and MoS wasn't even -that- badly received. And I say this as someone who thought that movie was terrible, but profits wise it was a modest success and reception wise is at worst described as "mixed". People act like it was Batman and Robin or Superman IV tier.

>>213318523 (OP)

At least they haven't finished writing Doomsday, maybe they can fix it in time (still not watching it)

>>213319461
Little early to say any of that when the movie probably hasn’t even turned a profit at the moment. If the movie was actually a success you would see triumphant headlines and announcements of new projects

>>213320008
that's the second weekend drop Anon, this is the second Friday drop. It's currently projected to do -66% on its second weekend (slightly better than Cap 4 at -68%), though that keeps falling with each update.

>>213320292
not really thoughbeit. marvel movies all feel made by committee. Superman, for better or worse, was clearly made with Gunn's singular vision. Just compare the amount of writers each movie has, Superman just has Gunn who is also directing while the F4 has like 4 screenplay credits and some no name TV director who has never done a movie that they could just slot in and micromanage.

>>213319378
Wait your telling me the ending didn't even lead into what happened in thunderbolts?

why did Deadpool 3 make 1.3 billies if people have capeshit fatigue?

>>213319378
Spider-Man leads into Secret Wars
Fantastic Four leads into Doomsday

>>213320387
>made with Gunn's singular vision
nta but Gunn's vision it's just the MCU with his lame jokes. Also he's doing the exact same movie for the fifth time, the first four being GotG 1,2 and 3 and The Suicide Squad. You can even count Creature Commandos, it's the same story/formula.

>>213320448
>Wait your telling me the ending didn't even lead into what happened in thunderbolts?

HOW BAD IS IT

maybe Disney needs to finally make scripts first before they start preproduction

you know, you pay very good writers to make very good scripts, THEN hire a good looking cast, THEN make the movie

but it seems like this is not the case and out of order nowadays with the shitty casts and piss of a story they try to pass with

>>213320713
>>suddenly a Spiderman popped out to add distraction

>>213318523 (OP)
No one has ever like the Fantastic 4. It was always going to flop.

>>213320487
of course Gunn's vision is similar to the MCU, he directed 3 of their movies and a lot of them went with his style. that's not the issue. The issue with MCU movies is they all feel formulaic because they very much are made by a boardroom trying to maximize every quadrant. Say whatever you want about Superman but it's driven by one guy telling the story he wants to tell. You'd probably never get Terrific, or Guy Gardner, or the frenetic jump between Kaiju fight to pocket dimension escape in an MCU movie because it'd be deemed as too silly. MCU is not just "having jokes".

>same story for the 5th time
I don't even get this. Gunn has similar stories but Superman is not similar to The Suicide Squad or Creature Commandos in story.

The MCU became the Gunn verse after Guardians 1 set the tone from then to Endgame.

>Weekend projections have been slashed dramatically. What was once expected to be a $45–$52M sophomore frame now looks likely to land somewhere in the mid-$30M range. That would put Fantastic Four’s ten-day domestic total at around $170 million—far short of the $200M+ Marvel reportedly spent on production alone.

Superman is flopping to. Its going to limp to 550 million and tap out there while getting raped by Naked Gun and Weapons. In a way Fantastic Four did its job which was to slow down #Supershit and give it a box office that Zaslav and investors can scold Gunn about for 3 years and fire him. Plus Supergirl and Clayface will bomb harder so i look forward to that.

>suddenly a Spiderman popped out to add distraction
4chan constantly provides insight. This line right here convinced me that the Snyder bots, a Spider-Man costume dropping, are all just distractions sent out by Disney to distract from any bad publicity.
A Disney product is doing bad/release a Snyder thread shitting on Warner Bros.
A Disney product is doing bad/release a picture from something that is liked by people, such as Spider-Man.
Whenever you see these threads, always think of this pattern.

>>213318523 (OP)
Funniest thing about Fantastic Four flopping is Marvel fans insistence of trying to use Superman to carry their films this year, despite being Marvel's third flop

CHILEAN REED RICHARDS
WHAT COULD GO WRONG

>>213321367
No it’s literally impossible for those to make less than 1b, but I can see them limping over 1b just like Star Wars 9 did, which is a catastrophe for those brands

>>213318789
Superman didn't destroy shit, the opening weekend did good so that's not the problem. It has no legs because it was a snoozefest and the word of mouth agrees

>>213321627
Superman coming out 2 weeks before this movie and having such positive domestic WOM and staying power certainly hurt F4. Most people don't want to see back to back capeshit, and they already saw Superman so they're not going to go out and see F4 after it. The OW was due to MCU fan rush.

Granted, this is all Marvel's fault since they scheduled F4 after Superman picked its date in an attempt to undermine it which backfired.

>>213318849
>Gunnman is doing worst than the last Superman movie
Wrong. Nominally, Supes 2025 is doing better than any Snyder movie featuring Superman against its budget.

>>213321439
> Superman is at $527M right now after just a couple of weeks and it clearly has legs
Like i said Gunnshill. Its not at 550 yet. Weapons and Freaky Friday 2 come out next weekend which means even less money. Superman is flopping and won't do better than Man of Steel but enjoy your flop that will do worse than Thor films.

>>213318789
>DEATROYER
Good morning saar.
(How the fuck am I the first one to make fun of this mothafucka?)

I do think this was bad time to release FF. There isn’t another Marvel movie for a full year, and there were already two Marvel movies this year. Seems like a no-brainer to have put this one out in November/December.

>>213321691
Did you fail math? They have the same budget adjusted for inflation (Superman 2025 has a 363 budget) and Superman 2025 has still made less. It fails by every single metric, unless it sold more popcorn or something.

>>213321675
Yeah Disney fucked themselves over. They generally thought that the Fantastic Four would be a big enough house-hold name to beat Superman and Jurassic Park.
As if Fox didn't already learn their lesson and stopped making Fantastic Four films for years until they were mandated to to renew the IP. They went all in on Xmen for a reason.
The Fanny Bore don't sell.

>>213318789
>haha, my flick flopped less hard
Capeshit is finally over

>>213321622
Nope, these movies are starred by all the hated characters. Short cameos won't save them, not by 2026 and especially not after Deadpool vs Wolverine.

>>213321725
they're competing against slapping the same amount of money they spent on the movie in an index fund. Any delay means the return on investment is worse.

>>213321697
It will be at 550 before next Friday
>Weapons and Freaky Friday 2 come out next weekend
And they'll break its legs just like FF right? lmao
Pathetic shill

>>213320467
Wolverine. If hollyjew producers would understand how popular Wolverine is, he'd cameo in every single MCU movie.

>>213321675
>and staying power certainly hurt F4.
If it was hurting F4 so much it would have shown at the opening weekend F4's problem is severe lack of legs, it's not a hard concept to understand

>>213321745
>Superman 2025 has a 363 budget
you have to be coping to believe Superman 2025, where the highest paid actor got 3 million, cost more than Endgame or the Justice League movie that was plagued by reshoots and the CGI mustache. Literally every trade reports 225 million.

>>213320467
Deadpool is basically the only scripted comedy a zoomer is likely to see anymore. It's competing against guys on tiktok making fart noises

>>213321797
the opening weekend was due to MCU fan rush, the legs are due to general audience appeal. the general audience is not going to see two back to back superhero movies when they already saw Superman.

>>213321725
Theres no other time to release it. Disney cleared out everything for Avatar 3 in December so delaying it is a non-starter, and they already had thunderbolts in May so they can't push it up

Superman's a much better film than Fantastic Four.
I'm not surprised F4 dropped like a fly after it's opening week, especially when word of mouth around Superman has been so positive among general audiences and the world of mouth around Fantastic Four can be summed up as
>It's just another Marvel film. You can just wait to watch it on Disney+

>>213321774
> It will be at 550 before next Friday
Keep telling yourself that Gunnshill and yes Superman's legs will be broken.

>>213321859
>here's a random tax doc that's totally real I swear
disregarding that there's no proof this is legitimate at all, this would be the provisional budget submitted before shooting to represent the potential maximum they might spend, which mind you they have every incentive to inflate as much as possible to qualify for the highest possible gibs bracket.

do you have anything better to prove that Superman is somehow one of the most expensive movies to make of all time?

Nigga, you can literally just read the document. The date it's allegedly filed is before the filming of the movie started. It's a provisional budget.

>dupe their shareholders
You honestly think you have more info from a Google search than a WB shareholder would have?

>>213322085
You don't know a thing about film making or how budgets work. What's your end goal here, exactly? You're allowed to not like Gunnman. You don't have to lie and misinterpret documents to make points against it. It is, objectively, financially more successful than Snyderman. Why does that upset you so much?

>>213322157
>the budget isn’t the budget because they haven’t started filming yet
What are you even trying to say? The house I’m buying doesn’t cost X amount until I pay X amount for it? Btw this isn’t even bringing up the massive marketing budget. Anyway google “Hollywood accounting” you have no idea how much you’re lied to. The ONLY thing you can trust are the documents which you have explained away because it’s inconvenient

>>213321924
It's also never going to beat MoS
Snyder won lol

>>213322121
You should say nothing at all, because you are literally incorrect. Whether nominally (the actual standard for financial comparison of films) or adjusting for inflation MoS made less than Superman 2025 against its budget. Remember retard, you have to inflate the budget if you want to inflate the box office.

>>213319093
China has turned hard against any non-Chinese movies hasn't it? Like the only movies that do well are movies about the good heroic Chinese and China being superior to the evil depraved white west

>>213322164
Wrong again. MoS had 160m worth of product placement, it actually didn’t cost that much for this reason. Again you can fudge the numbers anyway you want, MoS is always more successful than Superman. Sorry this hurts your feelings

>>213322205
Provisional budgets are not budgets. What the movie was allotted =/= what it actually cost to make. Where exactly are you having the disconnect?

>>213322205
>What are you even trying to say?
You know movie budgets change with time, right? Reshoots, script rewrites, things that are cut, weather conditions, etc. It's not like buying a product with a preset price. That's why they submit the provisional budget representing a potential maximum amount it could cost ( which again they like to inflate for gibs ) when doing these tax rebates. Holy fuck why are you even discussing this when you're so clueless about the process?
>isn't even bringing up marketing
Standard movie blockbuster math is 2.5x times the production budget to assume that marketing will be paid for by ancillary revenue, merch, tie-in deals, streaming etc.
>Hollywood account, you have no idea how much you're lied to
...You think they're being 100% honest in a provisional budget submitted for the express purpose of trying to get tax incentives?

>>213318523 (OP)
That's just Friday bitch the weekend just starting

>>213322240
You can just say you want Snyder to shove his cock down your throat and save us all a lot of time. Every movie has product placement and promotions. You are now having to move goalposts to deflect from Gunnman outperforming MoS. Do you not have anything better to do? What are you getting out of this?

>>213319138
>Of course he’s an a-lister. Everyone knows this character. His merchandise sales are huge. His comics have sold by far the highest number. There’s millions of supermen trick or treating every year. His movies have always been successful, the first one being one of the biggest movies of all time.

China and South Korea have a strict limit on the amount of slots U.S. films are allowed in cinemas, and they pre-book "guaranteed" hits as a result. So there is no opportunity for a film to "break out" there. They only bet on the safest slop. However two things happened.
A. The Chinese box office became huge, allowing for hollywood tier budgets for domestic pictures
B. Hollywood quality standards plummeted. Both on a technical level and a creative level. So they don't have any advantage over Han-Slop. A Chinese film looks as good as an American film, the writing and acting will be as good, but it will feature very specifically Chinese audience pleasing subjects and aesthetics. Pic related, their most popular film thus far this year. It grossed 2.2 billion dollars at the Chinese box office this year. By comparison, the highest grossing film at the U.S. box office this year was Minecraft with 450mil.

>>213322426
Theatrical cut was a botch job but even then almost 900m is great considering how Disney stole the script and applied it to Civil War which it also released some weeks earlier. It was being sabotaged from all directions and still did well.

>>213322545
>sabotaged
*Poorly made and poorly received.

>>213322537
As another comparison, their second most popular film this year was pic related. It made AS MUCH as Minecraft. It's a weird feeling realising how decripit Western industry has become in the last decade.

ANY capeslop that makes less than a billion dollars is a flop. Why even argue about which flopped harder. If your film costs over 200 mil, is a slopfest made for the sole purpose of taking money from fucking retards and it doesn't break a billion, you failed at your job.

You yourself that Guardians Of The Galaxy part 3 did ok, meaning almost 800 million. Fantastic Four 2024 is getting nowhere NEAR 800 million.

James Gunn has been known to lie repeatedly. Like for instance saying Affleck would love to direct a DC movie with him. So it doesn't surprise me that he's also lying about the budget numbers. The 360m number came from several sources, not just one. It's extremely accurate. The studio fucked up applying for subsidies not realizing such applications are public.

Batman V Superman had the highest, or one of the highest, second weekend drop-offs of all time in 2016, and it came out over a full month before Civil War did.

Fantastic 4 has like no cultural relevance, the film has no legs, nobody is talking about it anywhere, nobody is buying any FF4 merchandise.

Rotten Tomatoes is still sitting at 92% for user reviews. Are Marvel fans this desperate for a win that they are gaslighting themselves into thinking this movie was anything more than a 6/10?

>>213323290
WB also lied about the Flash budget. Imagine being so stupid as to trust their invented budget number when the actual number is staring you in the face. Good morning sir

>>213323290
Read the article posted. There is the document and an official insider at WB saying the document numbers are way closer to reality than the numbers Gunn claimed.

>>213322872
>people were willing to continue seeing Man of Steel for months
He left the part out where Man Of Steel, in 2013, had the biggest second weekend drop-off of all time before Batman Versus Superman took that crown in 2016, three years later.
People being willing to see Zack Snyder's version of Superman is the exact opposite of what happened. In fact, in both Man Of Steel and BVS, both movies made the majority of their money in the opening weekend.
This is just what I said before, Disney is sending fake Snyder bots out to distract from Fantastic Four's disastrous box office and focus the attention elsewhere. Shift the attention from Pedro onto Zack Snyder. Shift the attention from Shalla Bal onto Spider-Man.
Wake up and see the pattern people. There are no Snyder fans anymore. No one gives a fuck about Spider-Man like that. This is Disney diversion tactics 101.

>>213323407
Only fanboys saw it and they rate every turd a 10/10.

>>213323257
I have the suspicion Gunn is working very hard to sabotage Reeves and having his Batman being the only one in any media from now on. Gunn is not a team player and while he wants to play cool you can see he's also a control freak

>>213322933
>It's actually sad seeing DC think this new Superman is such a big win with this a barely profitable (if any) box office after Marvel winning for 15 years straight. You guys were better with Snyder after all.
Nice try, Disney bot. Focusing attention onto anything else but a disastrous box office three times in a row.

I don't get why you seem to have such difficulty grasping what a provisional budget is. If your Dad gives you 50 dollars to eat lunch, but you only spend 5 dollars for some chips, did you chips cost 50 dollars?

>>213323483
They took tax dollar money, that 360m sure as fuck isn't an estimate and better be dead on otherwise what they're doing is basically theft.

>>213318565
To update an old idea, the cast should still be believable in the original context: mid-century America. Cast believable options, then any "quirks" they have would be the "modern" factor. They went completely against it. The "Latino" of mid-century was Ricky Ricardo, Caesar Romero, Anthony Quinn types. They EMBRACE being American, not some smarmy detached observer on the sideline.

>>213323521
That's not how any of that works. Yes, it's an estimate. How the fuck would it be dead-on when they haven't even started filming yet? On top of that, it wouldn't even be the final budget, because it would obviously by definition be before any incentives are doled out across their filming locations.

Ok since the reshoots were decided after filming was wrapped, then it means this was their baseline budget which only got further bloated.

>Reshoots were decided
And how do you know what got cut, what cost less than they imaged, what they could reuse from other movies, etc? Furthermore, I don't even think there were extensive reshoots for this movie. Certainly not on the scale of Justice League, which you seem to be under the impression somehow cost less than this movie despite its stars getting 10m a pop.

>>213323745
>nobody is defending
I never suggested you were, but for reference that movie cost around 300-400m. You seem to be under the impression that that movie, which was filled with actors getting 10m a pop, and was completely restructured halfway through with a new director to do multiple reshoots, so much so they had to completely regenerate half of Cavill's face, was somehow less, or about as expensive, as a movie with minimal reshoots and its lead actor making 750k.

>360m dollars
Again, post an actual source for this that is dated after they wrapped filming.

>>213318754
Fucking BASED!

>>213323799
why even argue about a disney budget when they've been exposed for lying in the past

>superhero comics are garbage and that industry is literally dead

Well, super hero video games are still cool I guess. That's all.

>>213323799
I have made no claims regarding the budget of JL. It was probably astronomical due to them basically making the movie three times over.

>Again, post an actual source for this
We already have a source of the budget, which likely got increased further as WB demanded reshoots from Gunn (initial cut was just GoTG with Superman)

>>213323745
>This movie cost 360m + 200m advertising
Man this is just disney viral marketers making shit up as they go to cope with their failures. The official budget is $225 milion and there's no fucking way they spent $200 million on marketing, using any other number is just mousecope and should laughed at and not engaged with

No we don't. We have a document allegedly filed before the movie even finished filming.

>source is James Gunn
KEKAROOO

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/mission-impossible-jurassic-world-superman-box-office-summer-1236255949/

Last year, documents filed by the Superman production team with the Ohio government seeking incentives listed the gross budget of the highly anticipated July film as $363.8 million. When that number was reported, director James Gunn — who also runs DC Studios — lambasted the article. “How in the world do they think they know what our budget is?” he wrote on social media. In recent days, DC suggested the budget is a net $225 million after incentives and tax breaks.

Yet one longtime financier says the $363 million figure isn’t incorrect. And sources say DC and its parent could spend as much as $200 million on the global marketing campaign, compared with the usual $150 million for an all-audience summer tentpole. It wouldn’t be a surprise, since Superman kicks off the Gunn era and needs to work at the box office. Either way, between the production budget and marketing, it’s certain to land in the $400 million club.

According to a veteran studio source, Superman, which opens July 11 in North America, is exploding on social media, with the first full trailer raking in 250 million-plus views, the most in Warners/DC history. Based on such metrics, a domestic debt of $175 million or thereabouts is within the realm of possibility; it even has a shot at finishing with $1 billion-plus globally. “There’s no way to defend these budgets, because when you get into the $700 million to $900 million break-even point in regards to box office and ancillary revenue, it doesn’t make any sense,” says a veteran financier.

>>213324035
The 225 million budget is only for production. The advertisement budget adds 200 million.

>>213323257
As multiple others have pointed out, that is a provisional budget and not the actual budget. If you set aside $100 dollars to buy a bicycle and only spend $50, then the bike cost you $50, not $100.

I'm not the anon you are debating but with a 225 million budget + 100 million marketing (and yes I heard that they went from 150 to 200 on this movie) that's still a shitload of money for such a movie, WB clearly wanted 1 billion on the box office.

Personally, the two main reasons why I lost interest in seeing it were:

1. The cast. I'm sick to fucking death of Pedro Pascal. And even if I wasn't, I just can't see him as Reed. The woman playing Sue looks like an old hag, the guy playing Johnny looks like some random dock worker, and Ben's voice sounded off in the trailer.

2. The Mad Men aesthetic. I really, really don't like it. I was hoping it'd be a modern setting just on another Earth, but no, they couldn't resist doing the 60's aesthetic. I realize that's purely subjective, but I immediately lost hype when I saw that promotional poster, and then the trailers.

Materialists is now looking at a 75 million gross after all the international markets finally come in against a 20 million budget.
