TV/Movie General Discussion

[UChessmaster]

You people arguing every little point is exhausting.

That`s what happens when you have a weak argument, it crumbles under any scrutinium.

Anti-hero movie maybe. Nothing super about V.

Nothing super about Batman.

No, I decided it wasn't worth the effort to explain further. It's kind of the same reason Playstation sales in Japan mean more to Sony than sales in the rest of the world.

What? Where do you get all this info? And why isn`t it worth the effort? As a person with zero understanding of Hollywood and the foreign market`s insignificant value, I`d like to know.

Making $16mil over a $54mil production cost in the domestic market is not a success by Hollywood standards. Again, this goes back to having an understanding of Hollywood, which you evidently are not familiar with.

Which is why we have five (FIVE!) RE movies, yes?

No, that's what happens when you argue with people who lack basic understanding and factual knowledge of what they are talking about. Gulldurn foreigners. It's like arguing with 3rd graders. No offense to the 3rd graders.

Nothing super about Batman.

No argument here, except Batman fought Superman, participated in team efforts to save the universe, and has been around since 1939, so the "test of time" is relative. The first 4 Batman movies were completely forgettable. The last 3 will probably be on "best of" lists for years.

It's from living in the US for 30+ years. Look at the earnings figures for some of these movies. The domestic totals are often equal to the international total. 300 million Americans pay as much or more than the remaining 6.2 billion people in the world for the same movie.

Movies don't have to be a huge success to get a sequel. Shit there were 3 Underworld movies and they were all terrible. There are always niche markets where money can be made. That doesn't equate to success, but profit is profit and enough justification to make more terrible movies.

I kinda wish you would explain further. I am genuinely interested with what you have to say about it.

As interested as we are in hearing about the chump change you make on stocks. Are you a millionaire with all that wheeling and dealing yet?
