I've not had a chance to see it yet, and this is a comment I'm sure I've repeated in another thread, but I'm getting the feeling that in about 5 years GB2016 will be considered in the same way that we look at Ang Lee's Hulk. The people who were incredibly, incredibly defensive of it will start to say it sucked or wasn't actually that good. The people who hated it will just consider it watchable in repeats on TV and not that bad.

CineD is the forum that unironically defends the Star Wars prequels, the Transformers movies, and Alien 3. It's wise to ignore their consensus on whether a movie is good or bad.

GB16 looks loving fantastic. And a gently caress of a lot funnier than what you idiots poo poo out onto these pages day in and day put. You know what I do give a gently caress about though? Encouraging young women to get into STEM. And you know what? You know loving what? if this film encourages even ONE girl to become a scientist or engineer, then good on Paul Feig. Then the loving film will be a great loving scuess. More than you douchebags have ever contributed to sociecty. Oh, wait i forgot. yeah brah, like, gently caress Paul Feig dude. how dare he try to inspire people. How loving dare he try and give people hope through the magic of film. Oh no, big goony fedora men have to loving spew hate all over the loving place about why its bad because it stars women. gently caress. You. You are juding a film you havent. even. loving. seen. Like, seriously. Get the gently caress over yourself. You are not some kind of loving special divine arbiter of all things true and just.mYou are a loving goon living in his parents base,ents.mShut the gently caress up and let the people who actually still have love in their hearts enjoy a funny little film for fucks sake.

This is on track to be bad for Sony because they needed this to be a hit since so many of their tentpole films failed. What are you talking about, they've recently produced such cinematic classics as Angry Birds, The Brothers Grimsby, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Pixels, The Interview, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, etc etc....  Ghostbusters might actually turn out to be their biggest film of 2016 even if it makes a loss overall, their other biggest films so far this year have been Angry Birds and some lovely Christian film called Miracles from Heaven and I can't see their upcoming animated film Sausage Party going all that well. I'm also not expecting big things from their Magnificent Seven remake but on the other hand you can't rule out the Chris Pratt factor there. Their only films to pass $200,000 on the homefront these last few years were Amazing Spider-Man 2 (which was so disappointing they killed that franchise and went crawling back to Marvel) and the Bond film Spectre (which also massively underperformed). Their biggest recent success stories were Hotel Transylvania 2, 22 Jump Street, American Hustle and Grown Ups 2 and they've already slated another Hotel Transylvania sequel for 2018, the 21 Jump Street/MIB cross-sequel is coming along, American Hustle was a one-off docudrama and there was talk about Grown Ups 3 but who knows where that's at now that Sandler is pumping out movies for Netflix. If Ghostbusters manages to get anywhere near $150m at the box office they might not have any choice except to make a sequel. They don't have much else in the bag to fall back on - they've got sequels to Underworld, Trainspotting, Resident Evil, Smurfs and Bad Boys coming up as well as remakes of Jumanji and Flatliners and I can't see any of those doing incredibly well.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:the 21 Jump Street/MIB cross-sequel Somehow I hadn't read about this one. It could be good, but it's rather odd and I'm surprised the idea made it out of the board room. I also think Bad Boys 3 could do well partly due to nostalgia. My only worry, and I'm serious, is the lack of Michael Bay. The over-the- top action and explosions were a big part of the first two.

This is where we differ because I think if this fails to hit above 160-170 million but hits around 150 million, we are done with this iteration of Ghostbusters. Either Feig quietly gets the boot and another director signs on and GB 2 is made into a very different film or they reboot it again or try to do Ghostbusters 3. I agree if it hits around that magic number, Sony is going to be desprate enough to try again, but no one is going to be dumb enough to finance the same bomb all over again.

I have seen alot of poo poo on twitter showing to massively empty theaters. no one is interested because either all the controversy or because it looks like/is a lovely cash in. the humor is mostly sandler tier. at best it will break even. especially since their is no Chinese audience to cushion the fall.

I guess the new Ghostbusters made around 15 mil last night? I think assuming that will mean it makes 45 mil this weekend is pretty generous considering all the empty theater posts I'm seeing. What would be the amount that you could call it a bomb at after this weekend? 30 mil? 25 mil?

What would be the amount that you could call it a bomb at after this weekend? 30 mil? 25 mil? The Thurs/Fri estimate is $17.2 million and they're projecting $46.5m for the weekend overall. It was #1 on Friday but should lose out to the Life of Pets animated film on Sat/Sun. Early projections had it making between $38m to $40m but Sony had a HUGE advertising campaign this last week and the projection was upgraded to $45m - $50m, so it's doing better than the early projections predicted and falling into the low range of the more recent predictions. It's doing about as well as they expected. http://variety.com/2016/film/news/box-office-ghostbusters-secret-life-of-pets-2-1201815841/ We won't have any way of predicting how well it'll do overall until we get an idea of the numbers for next weekend, word of mouth will be a big factor and there's no way of predicting whether things will pick up or whether the film blew its wad already.

It went from a promising 48 million to 44-45 million. For it to be an actual bomb it needed to be in the 30s, though like Ender's Game it might be a weirdly front loaded movie and it could fail to go over 100 million by a decent amount. As it is now, projections from early June that had it hit around 90-130 million seem to have been extremely prescient. This was never going to be a bomb, just a disappointment and unprofitable film. It's an extremely weak summer and Ghostbusters is a strong brand name.

Hilarously this was the worst case scenario for everyone. Sony is going to take the lesson "women aren't funny from this" but that GB is a valuable brand despite it. Instead expect animated retools or a "smarter" GB 3 soft reboot or some other dumb poo poo with Sandler type comedy and one of the two is going to break over 200 million and make us all suffer.

Fuuuuck  If GB had brought in $50m this weekend I bet Sony would have announced the sequel sometime Saturday as part of the "We're completely happy with this project and we were always behind it, please continue printing positive articles about our obviously successful film k thnx" promo push they usually pull at this point of things.
