This week I decided to add budgets to the movies (except The Blind which I could not find info for, at this time). Let me know what you think :)

This is great, are you hand crafting it or do you scrape the data and build the image?

[–] ClarkZuckerberg 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I would like to tell you I have put in some work to make this mostly automated, but sadly I have not yet. I'll probably end up there, soon enough, when I put in the time. For now I'm just manually entering the data.

The movie budget is a great addition! It helps paint a clear image of the gap between the ideas of the movie maker and public reception.

Thanks it help in the conversation. I mean I know Barbie has legs (pun intended) but when you see the W.W. compared to production costs, woo. We should expect a heap of new productions ripping off the ideas soon.

Thank you for this, interesting to see how bad Expendables 4 is doing

[–] DaCookeyMonsta 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't even know they made another one until this post.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Worst rating of them all. Stallone doesn't know when to quit...

@1984 @DaCookeyMonsta

A friend I follow on Facebook left this scathing review for #Expendables4, and apparently, he loved the first three in the #Expendables series.

The line "You could drag my nuts through the eternal furnace of hell" is not only hilariously unforgettable, but as "scathing" as one can get.

I don't know. I feel it's just sad when a 77 year old man is talking like that.

[–] errer 24 points 1 year ago

Man there are some MASSIVE bombs

[–] robocall 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's so crazy that Barbie is still on the list generating revenue, and available in theaters. Good for the Barbie people.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@robocall @ClarkZuckerberg I wonder if it's partially being bolstered by how expensive it is to rent on VOD still?

[–] ReluctantMuskrat 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It stays expensive to rent while it remains in theaters. Once it's out of theaters, the price drops.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@ReluctantMuskrat Generally, sure. But they often stay $20 for a bit when they first hit VOD even when it's no longer in theaters, and I've never seen them bump it up to $25 as they have with Barbie (save for some experimenting with release strategies during 2020, such as with Mulan)

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I really like the numbers you have in this. Gives a much better idea of how these are actually doing.

Especially comparing how everything is doing better than Wonder Women did. Odd choice, but hey it works!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm kind of surprised at Saw X tbh. I've seen a lot more excitement for it in my online circles than any of the previous installments.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I guess I'm finally in a place where advertising can't get to me because I didn't even know it was a thing until just now. It's the kind of thing I'd go watch in theaters if I had time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I had no idea either but it's crazy that they're still going. They're picking back up the main storyline? Who is even left to continue it?

[–] Spellinbee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't watch the saw movies but from what I understand this one takes place between the first and second ones.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah so we're just going to keep flashbacking to when

SAW3 spoilerJigsaw was alive. They really wrote themselves into a corner by killing him so early.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I don't think they expected it to keep going like this. There are something like 7 original Nightmare on Elm Street movies and Freddy is a horror icon. There are 11 original Friday 13th movies and Jason wasn't really a part of a couple of them.

I think they just didn't plan for him to still be going. If they keep doing this they'll need to have him meet Freddy and get dream powers.

I need to watch Paw Patrol, I feel like my niece is probably gonna grill me on it next time I see her.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just saw it, I only almost fell asleep so that means it was good

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Paw Patrol is on a roll!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Paw Patrol is neoliberal propaganda, painting government as incompetent and advocating for a privatized police force. Watch out!

The Creator is a fun watch if not just for really good visual effects and some decently good sci-fi ideas. Sad to see it not doing so hot.

[–] derf82 8 points 1 year ago

The meme stock movie is bombing, it appears. Not unlike a meme stock in the long term.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This is great work, friend.
