Shaping up to be the biggest box office disaster of the year
Knew this was going to underperform, but it's almost fascinating just how bad it's flopping.
shareKnew this was going to underperform, but it's almost fascinating just how bad it's flopping.
shareIt has now made it's money back. It may not be huge but it should turn a profit. Not really that fascinating since most big budgets are underperforming...
Doesn't make a difference though. We got one last film and there were gonna be no more...so...
LMFAO you don't understand how budgets work do you? This thing hasn't even gotten close to breaking even yet after marketing and everything.
shareHe is an expert in fat asses, not movie budgets.
shareWell we already know you are a tub... π
shareAnd you're not the sharpest tool in the kit.
shareAre you still a pot belly boy??? π
I am well aware how budgets and fat asses like you work. Been talking about it for days here. Well you work except with your fork....π
Why do women these days think it is OK to fat shame men?
shareYou want to know one of the greatest feelings in the world??? Sitting down and not having your belly roll up to your chest.... π
So give your non gender identifying "girlfriend" a break.
Seriously though once you lose that belly you will feel so much better. π
I know all about the damn promotion money...so STFU.. π...it WILL EVENTUALLY TURN A PROFIT. I get that it has to make almost twice it's budget....
shareYou do know that in the United States the movie studio only takes 50% of the gross and the movie theaters take the rest! And an international box office overseas the studio gets a 35% cut. It has not made its money back
shareOf course I know this.....technically speaking it's broke even...(well a bit above)

In any technical or otherwise manner of speaking it has not broke even, at all. To break even would mean it has made back whatever money was invested in the project... and it hasn't.
You said you were "good at trolling" before, so I'm going to assume that's what you're doing here, for your sake. Instead of assuming you're just a complete dumbass.
Compare to this headline - and now let me know which website is informative and which one will make you sound like a moron, if you ever quote it. Point being, avoid getting info from crappy websites.

'After a disappointing start, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destinyβs box office has now passed its budget, but itβs still far from breaking even.'
Dude I already knew this read above ..it's still made it production budget back. End of story...
shareIts global take will probably top off at around 400 million. Its budget was at least 300 million. Promotion was at least another 100 million. The theaters take about half of the gross. That means Disney will lose around 200 million on this film. I liked it a lot, but it's a financial disaster for Disney.
shareAnd we will probably continue to see more and more of this. Younger people do not care as much to go to the movies. I went and saw Indy yesterday on a Monday morning. 10:30am. I was surprised the theater was 3/4 full. Most were late 30's and up...
shareWho'd a thunk a character that went to toe to toe with the Nazis would succumb to greedy pandering corporations in the end.
Hopefully the next Indy Jones movie will be better
shareYou know dam well there is no indy film but wrote this too look stupid for attention, why?
shareI never thought there would be another one after Crystal Skull. Did you?
shareNo , but in your strange attention seeking ways that's boring and very tiresome, you thought there would be one after this just to look stupid, is it the attention you seek? You know dam harrison ford wont make another indy but you posted this for attention.
shareEven bigger than The Flash? I read that Indy was on course to make around $100m more than TF; but given that Indy's overall budget was also apparently about $100m more, my guess is their losses will be about the same.
shareIt needs $600M++ BO to break even. So far it made about $200M in gross profits.
$50M from streaming and rental coming soon.
Another $10M from BluRays or other media.
Net loss will be about $300M
It's funny. M:I7 isn't tracking that much better and you can barely hear a soul calling that a BO disappointment.
shareIt looked like their domestic performance is similar, but the high budget of MI7 was due to COVID starting and stopping production, it was not planned to cost that much. Unlike this one was due to high expectation.
Also MI series generally perform better overseas, so it is probably not going to lose money, but that depends on how Barbenheimer is going to affect its box office performance, the promotion of Barbenheimer is quite fierce, even here.
But isn't it funny how there's a chorus of people with their maws dripping in anticipation of news of Indy 5 disappointing at the box office and making doom laden predictions of the fall out while the same cannot be said about a film that was expected to be doing business like Maverick? Both can be said to underwhelming the box office relative to expectations.
I think there were a lot of fans of Indy unhappy about what they did to him, which was done on purpose.
MI7 is just business as usual, there isn't anything controversial.
What was done to Indy???
shareIn the words of director, "deconstruct", tear him down, make him a broken shell of former self.
shareThat's not what deconstruct means in a literary sense.
shareI think the instructions he received from Kathleen Kennedy was that, he just used a more ambiguous term to express what can't be explicitly said.
But we can pretty much infer it from the result.
I mean it happened to both Luke and Indy, that can't be a coincidence.
Oh jeez.
You do know that Ford was the big driving force behind doing another Indy movie, don't you?
They gave him a life of consequence instead of treating him like a collectable action figure that is wrapped in cotton wool and only ever taken out to play with by worthy people who leave him exactly the way he was when he came out the box.
shareSo M:I7 is just the usual shit and that explains the usual box office. But Indy did something terrible to the fans and the explains its comparable domestic box office?
M:I fans were predicting that Dead Reckoning was going to annihilate Indy showing us that normal movies for normal people, like Maverick, are what's needed and not stuff that's meant to undermine masculinity etc, like they decided Indy 5 is way back months, years even, before it was released.
MI7 performed as the others in the franchise, but Indy was supposed to be a billion dollar box office movie.
I mean, they need at least 800 mil to turn a profit. So Indy under performed compare to the other movies within the franchise, while MI7 as I said performed as expected.
What did Indy do that was terrible??? π
shareMI7 is a box office dissapointment, but not on the same level of Indy
shareOh. If you say so.
(I don't hear anyone involved with Indy blaming WB and not having enough IMAX screens)
MI7 flopped because it came out between too much competition and an out of control budget
shareI THOUGHT LORD CRUISE AND HIS MI FRANCHISE WAS ABOVE COMPETITION....AND WHAT COMPETITION?...BARBIE?...I DON'T THINK THE CROSSOVER BETWEEN THOSE AUDIENCES IS THAT MUCH...BUT SERIOUSLY...MISSION IMPOSSIBLE ALWAYS HITS...UNTIL IT DOESN'T...AND THE COMPETITION IS A WEAK EXCUSE.
shareIndy is dead in its tracks now unfortunately

I see poster toss out numbers but to make math easy the film got about $150 back in hard currency from its current box office.
They probably spent around $ 500M including marketing.
There are still money to be made in the streaming marked but yes - this lost a lot of money for the people financing it.
"Indy is dead in its tracks now unfortunately"
I have to laugh at shit like this. Been hearing it since the morning it was released. And always from the sad sack edge lords who were against the film being made in the first place.
Or were you counting on there being another movie in a few years when Ford is 85?
Unfortunately as in i dont movies to lose $300M per picture. Unfortunately as in the "era if the theatrical release" is over. Unfortunately as in Netflix drivel is that we have to stream going forward. Unfortunately with the SAG-AFTRA strike we will only have reality TV in the future.
Haha. Not really. They fucking made so much shit the last 5-10 years I have enough new material to keep me busy for at least 2 years..... π
shareExactly...
