Outstanding!

Hollywood accounting is notoriously nontransparent. They do a bunch of accounting magic to make it look like the movie didn't turn a profit. This is because some people who work on the film (huge stars usually) get points or percentages of the profits. Well if the movie doesn't make any money you don't have to pay that person anything. Really huge stars can negotiate for gross points rather than net points and avoid all that.

Yeah, there's no way the budget needed to be that high. If someone actually competent and devoted had managed to wrest control away from KK and her latest hack director Mangold, they could've fixed the movie's issues at a reasonable cost, I'm sure of it. Hollywood refuses to fix its own broken system because it hates honesty.

No offense, but how much do you know about making movies? What IS an average / normal cost for a given type of film?

Meaning; a Romantic Comedy will obviously have a different budget from some globe-trotting action movie.

But what DOES it cost to make a film, realistically?

Just asking questions. We can't say $X is "too much" unless we have a baseline.....

I definitely agree with u/patrioticfrogman that pedo-wood does all sorts of shady shit to prevent sharing their loot.

That's been a thing forever, though. SO many stories of actors being promised this or that and being screwed, etc.

But for the past couple decades, I think pretty much any & every halfway serious actor has a manager, so it's really their fault if their client gets screwed on a contract that the manager / management company should have scrutinized.....

IMHO.....could be wrong....

That doesn't smell right especially with how CGI can save the costs of dozen's of movie sets.

The same stuff is happening in all industries. They save $1 because of budget cost, computer or AI generation, or off-loading some work to cheap countries like India, but then they multiply the marketing or other external cost by x10 the amount they saved.

In video games, even like 10 years ago, actual development was only like 20% of the actual cost of the game, the rest was management/marketing/etc. The ratio is probably higher nowadays.

This is such a good idea.

Pay It Forward for 7 people and you get early access to the digital release.

I bought 5 tickets but they were not for a specific showing. They must be claimed and then the person goes to a showing so I don't see how the seats would be empty because no one took those seats.

This is a War. Battle 1 was getting screen expansion on July 4 by buying up all the tickets in targeted theaters. Battle 2 is now getting butts in seats so they can be "weaponized" to spread the word and buy more tickets for others themselves (per the special message at the end of the movie).

The theater I targeted dramatically expanded showings for Wed-Sun which is officially the "premiere weekend" after the July 4 sellout of 3 showings. We may only get 2 weekends of massive momentum. Ticket purchases are accelerating on track to hit nearly 1.9M by Sunday.

Upcoming battle is getting full digital distribution when it is time. This is why Angel Studio setup their website and streaming operations.

Hope those take free tickets at least finish movie first

Oh my bad. I've been travelling and didn't see that. But I did see this same article on Reddit, which was neat to see normies get exposed.

Generally, the idea is stripping away the barriers that Pedowood, distribution, and movie theaters use to ring fence particular productions and exclude others.
