Do you still go to the movies?

>>213974174 (OP)
Hello jeet spammer that mods don’t do nothing about

>>213974174 (OP)
I saw Superman twice and Fantastic Four. I mostly go 'cos my local theater is so comfy and enormous.

>>213974251
>adub
Lmao

>>213974174 (OP)
No, Hollywood, I don't.
I've been demonized as being a "White Devil" and so it's been hard to find work. I'm ok due to the help and kindness of my more successful relatives, but I have very little money to spend.

>>213974174 (OP)
I worked in theaters for almost a decade and the longer I worked there the less I wanted to ever go see a movie

>>213974174 (OP)
Tickets were not that cheap in 2013

>>213974174 (OP)
>Raise prices because of "inflation"
>Price people out of seeing your movie in theaters because wages don't go up with "inflation"
>End up getting slightly less money and less merch opportunities

Why'd they do it?

>>213974819
Prices today aren’t even at inflation rate. $8 in 2013 would be $11 today yet tickets are $16-20. We are paying $4 more for tickets than we were 12 years ago. Be like tickets costing $12 in 2013. People would’ve burnt the theaters down

>>213974251
Why are Gunnjeets so obsessed with their kin?

>>213974938
Nothing funnier then self hating jeet

>>213974665
Averages include matinee

>>213974819
But then why are there movies that make a billion like Lilo and Stitch?

>>213975028
Kids nagging their parents

>>213975074
So why didn't they nag for Superman which is also a movie for children?

>>213974251
>Doxxing
It's over for you

>It's not a James Cameron movie!!!
>It's not produced by Nolan!!

>>213975219
Damn Gunnpedo bros...we're locked in for that billion!!!

>>213975148
Kid movies are G rated cartoons not a PG13 movies. Lilo is “live action” remake of the cartoon even though 99% of it is CGI cartoon shit

>>213974174 (OP)
That's not how ticket prices work you moron.

>>213974983
Does it include 3D ticket prices? Given Man of Steel released in converted 3D.

went to the drive-in for the past 30 years but it was recently demollished to house more jeets

>posts "estimates" for ticket prices with no source
>then posts "tickets sold" as if it's hard data
Dishonest

>>213975291
By 2013 3D was dead.

>>213975374
And yet, it released in 3D, which has higher ticket prices.

>>213975095
Because Superman means nothing to modern children, there is no kid friendly cartoon or advertising paradigm. It's adverised to adults or "kidults" as certain industries like to refer to the adults today who never really grew up.

>>213975403
And SquirrelMan released in IMAX with obscenely expensive ticket prices.

>>213975374
Then why was it converted to 3D by Warner Bros? For fun?

>>213975374
not true

>>213975461
Why was a disgraced pedophile narcissist hired to helm DC? WB ain't the brightest.

>>213975454
You know what else released in IMAX?
Man of Steel. Did you factor those in or did it slip your mind too?

>>213975492
So both movies had more expensive versions to watch. Your point, pedo shill?

JUST PEDO SLOP MY SHIT UP

>>213975532
That your number is utter bullshit and you know it.

>>213975561

>>213975563
Why? Both movies had more expensive versions to watch. Most people didn't.

>>213975532
You brought up IMAX in the first place. Why did you bring it up if you're now saying it doesn't matter?

>>213974174 (OP)
No. Not since covid.
Main theatre chain near me added a 1.50 convience fee for booking online.
Movies come out on VOD/Streaming like 3 months later anyway.
I can just wait, I already have enough shit to watch.
I'll probably go watch the new Avatar movie though lol.

>>213975148
The new cope is

>It didn't release in 3D!!!1!

>>213975599
You're the dumb pedo jeet here who insinuated only MoS had a more expensive version to watch and not Starlordman.

>>213975247
>Kid movies are G rated cartoons not a PG13 movies
This. You think movies like Jumanji are for kids?

>>213975627
>who insinuated only MoS
No, I didn't, I asked you if you factored in a 3D release to your "average". You seemingly didn't even know it had a release in 3D or in IMAX, so what does that say about your supposed "average ticket price" of 2013?

>>213975441
>there is no kid friendly cartoon

>>213975776
looks like a cartoon made from the perspective of the SFPOC Lois. Who do you think it's for?

>>213975732
Ok OP should adjust for 3D and IMAX. So the average Starlordman ticket is $30 while the average for MoS is $15.

>>213975776
>Network Adult Swim
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Adventures_with_Superman

u wut m8?

>b-but the 3D screenings
When will Gunnsois just mass suicide out of shame?

>>213975859
>No major updates were given until March 2023, when it was announced that the series would no longer air on Cartoon Network, but rather on its nighttime block Adult Swim, despite the series not necessarily being produced to target a young adult demographic.
>rated tv-pg
I know you're trying to come up with excuses but it's a kid's show

>>213975884
When Supergirl bombs. They're already trying to run damage control for Peacemaker season 2

>>213974174 (OP)
nope

>>213975949
Why do you think it no longer aired on CN? Because kids didn't give a shit about it

>>213975846
Exactly how many IMAX theaters do you think exist worldwide?

When will we start holding the movies themselves responsible for the interest they generate?

>>213976014
And yet it's on its third season with a spinoff on the way

>>213974174 (OP)
This autumn will be ten years since I last went to a theater to see a new release.

>>213976048
And why do you think its on adult swim? Who do you think is actually watching it?

>>213976044
That's illegal

>>213976039
You don't need a real IMAX theatre to show in "IMAX". Real IMAX is on 70mm film which no one has anymore.

>>213976078
I'll take that as a "not many". So why did you try to nonsensically pretend all showings of Superman 2025 were in IMAX?

>>213976179
Same reason you nonsensically pretend all showings for MoS were in 3D/IMAX. You really are a dumb self hating Gunnpedo jeet if you think it's fair to only adjust MoS to the more expensive screenings only a minority bother with and not Gunnman.

>>213974174 (OP)
Dude, I don't know what else to tell you, the new Superman suit looks horrible, the CGI is horrible, the story is stupid and childish, more childish than even Marvel slop, the new actor looks fucking weird in several scenes, the subplot of Superman being canceled on the internet is shit inserted by Gunn, obviously this was never going to earn the same as MoS, Snyderfags should just take the W and Gunnfags take the L and stop spamming this all over the board.

>>213975884
>Gunnsois
didnt pedogunn get canceled during gotg3? i thought he was problematic or some shit. now they let him reboot the dcu???? did he suck jew cock?

>>213976179
>not many
The fake digital IMAX theatres are literally everywhere you idiot. Learn to differentiate fake digital IMAX and real 70mm film IMAX.

>>213976283
Sois are for some reason absolutely addicted to Gunn's self patronizing writing and tasteless directing. It reflects them well.

Gunnjeets absolutely on suicide watch

>>213976245
>>Same reason you nonsensically pretend all showings for MoS were in 3D/IMAX
Where did I do that, exactly? I asked you if you factored in those to your supposed "average", given you used it for a flat calculation.

>>213976325
He's like the new Nolan but even more pretentious and stupid

>>213976325
Gunn can only make one kind of movie, it was an abomination to use Superman as a self-insert with the internet plot, I don't know how much Gunn thinks about touching children, but you have to be an idiot to bring up the subject of cancellation in a movie written by you, after you were canceled for something as sensitive as talking about children.

>>213976325
>>213976401
He's a genius and an auteur. You just can't see it yet

Sure is samefag in here.

>>213974174 (OP)
I'm not the biggest Snyder fan, I'm not even going to pretend I'm a big fan of the 2013 Superman movie.

But Henry was the perfect Superman as far as I'm concerned, no matter how the movies he was in turned out (for my taste). I get some people like them, I ain't bashin em, just saying they weren't my thing.

Wish the new guy luck, but it just doesn't look like what I want to go see. I'll just stick to the old superman and justice league cartoons I grew up with.

Why should I?

>>213976567
>Wish the new guy luck, but it just doesn't look like what I want to go see. I'll just stick to the old superman and justice league cartoons I grew up with.
The problem is the direction. He's a great Superman

>>213976626
I'm not insulting the actor when I say the film doesn't look like something I want to go see. It's pretty much what I said about Henry's movies as Superman. Not my thing. Still think he was the perfect Superman. Hands down.

>>213974174 (OP)
I don't watch slop or gays

>>213976626
He's much better in that video than he was in the movie, damn it, honestly he needed a better haircut and a better suit and he could have brought more people to the theater.

>>213974174 (OP)
Yes. Saw Materialists, Weapons, and will see Splitsville when it goes wide in a couple weeks, last year I saw Daddio and Terrifier 3. I don't watch capeshit but will go see Dakota Johnson movies and sometimes cheap horror.

This year I have only been to the 3 Marvel movies. At least there was Dune and Apes as well last year.

>government inflation
They aren't at inflation rate. They're lower. Theaters know their customers are getting priced out and their real margins are tanking. That's why their stocks perform like shit.

>>213974174 (OP)
All the movie theaters close to me closed after Covid. If I want to watch a movie I have to drive like an hour.

>>213974903
Everything is way more expensive that it should. Everyone are just taking advantage of the confusion and now even citing tariffs even though a lot of the stuff getting expensive aren't getting affect by it. It's all bullshit.

>>213979527
$8 in 2013 are $10-11 today. Shadowstats don't use the Government's CPI data but their own weird algorithm. In a way what is actually showing how hard we are being scammed by these corporations taking advantage of us.

why the fuck would I do that?

>>213979527
The algorithm you're using is bald faced wrong by any human's experience. Does a $10 pizza I ordered in 1997 cost $100 now? No.

>>213980169
Yet a $330 ounce of gold from 97 is worth $3300 now. Could it be that pizza has almost no material cost and the difference is real wages cratering?

>>213980025
>muh corporations
I can't believe anyone buys these deflections. Does Costco set monetary policy now? Who decides the price of money and how much the supply is going to expand?

I use to go to movies somewhat regularly when tickets weren’t ridiculous and strreaming wasn’t an option. Now I hardly ever go. I can’t even remember themlast movie I went to see. I know I haven’t gone since Covid because fuck it. Got a huge ass TV and a stereo surround sound system. Don’t have to worry about loud blacks or mexicans ruining it

>>213980339
shadowstats doesn't say it's only about material goods or precious metals though.

>>213979619
What kind of place do you live in? I'm in a Bong town (not city) and have 2 chain cinemas, with an independent a fairly short drive away.

>>213981060
Actual value. Share of the currency market. You're stuck in this mind trap of derating curves where actually we decided cotton oil is edible now so your price of food hasn't gone up, and you can rent an apartment with 3 guys for what you used to pay for a house, so your housing hasn't gone up either.

A good one to check is municipal government salaries. A guy who commands a fire station in NYC makes the shadowstats adjusted wage of his counterpart from the 60s or 70s almost to the penny. Those niggers didn't give an inch.
