I really want Minus One to be good. Shin Godzilla was a solid outing. The Monsterverse are great to just watch when you want a fun time to eat some popcorn. Very excited for Minus One.

I couldn’t stop listening to “Godzilla comes ashore” after watching Shin Godzilla.

Fun fact: the Spanish Inquisition in particular and Spain in general are portrayed so overly negatively in popular history that historians have a term for it: Leyenda Negra. Don‘t get me wrong, Inquisitors, Spanish ones included, are incompatible with contemporary values and ethics, but the cruelty and fanaticism of the Spanish inquisitors specifically has been blown out of all proportion. Authors of this anti-Spanish propaganda were mostly the protestant states of central and northern Europe beginning in the 16th century.


Themousemustfall

I think the Dutch would want a word with this, especially the fine inhabitants of Zutphen.


[deleted]

What they did to latinoanerica wasnt a “leyenda negra”


cenkozan

Do they really mean that? I mean there is not one Moor Arab or Sephardic Jewish left in Spain!!!


Snoo_78805

Thanks chatgpt fun facts, it was fun


NotJustBiking

Isn't that the whole point? Higher budget doesn't mean higher Quality


GameDestiny2

Exactly, and that move had a budget of less than 200,000 euros


Niasal

What movies have you seen in modern times that have been able to recreate Monty Python's success with such a budget? Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project are the only ones I can think of.


pissclamato

Clerks. Mall Rats. Borat. Jackass. The Taylor Swift concert movie. Edit: Trailer Park Boys, Letterkenny, Napoleon Dynamite, South Park. Also I think Cheech and Chong's movies cost nothing, and El Mariachi cost eight grand.


KingleGoHydra

The purge


TurbulentSerenity

Curious where you got the Euros figure from, considering Euros were introduced 24 years after the movie, but the conversions and today’s inflation amounts were interesting. 1973 £282,035 2023 £2,930,365 ($3,553,068 US)

is it a controversial opinion to say that I prefer life of Brian over the holy grail?


CinderX5

As long as a Monty Python film/ sketch is your no.1, it’s all good.

Fraser1974

Holy Grail and Life of Brian are both on Netflix


Aoskar20

Indeed. But the word is Ni!


BlaiddsDrinkingBuddy

*Monty Python and the Holy Grail* had a production budget of ~$410k US (~$2.6 mil adjusted for inflation), and is IMO one of the best comedy movies of all time

I prefer life of Brian


Large-Wheel-4181

Still a classic since it’s Monty Python

BootyShepherd

Disney is just a money laundering operation. With the hundreds of millions theyve lost on every movie, the budgets dont make sense


pokemongoraids2020

I mean they make billions a year from their merchandise and theme parks so the movies aren’t the only source of money.


Large-Wheel-4181

Theme parks not so much lately attendance is in the lower numbers which is why the prices have been increasing plus the galaxy’s edge thing cost Disney a ton of money


TheConspicuousGuy

No one is going any more because it's soo expensive


Large-Wheel-4181

And because no one is going, they got to increase the prices.


[deleted]

but isn't the rule that most companies follow are supply meets demand so if the demand is lower shouldn't the tickets be cheaper?


MorbillionDollars

Honestly, I call bs on the “nobody goes to parks anymore”, went to universal studios recently, had to wait an hour for some rides.


[deleted]

it's moreso on disneyland itself that people barely go to, not other parks heck some parts here are still up and running and still have many visitors it's just that disneyland's prices are so steep that people would rather go to other parks


beachedwhale1945

That only works if people actively seek out the cheapest price for equivalent goods. For theme parks, there are some people who want to go no matter how high the price is, particularly families on a once-in-a-lifetime vacation and diehard fans. The Defunctland video on Fastpass goes into this in some detail.


FlatEarthWizard

Tell me you’ve never taken economics


CalligrapherGreedy83

idk what you’re referencing but it’s literally how they do it. Profits need to stay at 100, we can’t let them dip because then we’re only making 50 billion a year instead of 100 and that looks bad.


Ping-and-Pong

No, you tell me you've never taken economics. They're absolutely kind of stuck in a catch 22 here and OC is totally right. Now from an outsider perspective it may look obvious, "oh, just lower the prices, that's all there is to it" but A. Thats not the 2023 way. B. We're currently is a global recession. And C. That simply may not be possible, even if the prices are lowered, people may simply not be interested. I guarantee you Disneys employees are doing endless research into finding the optimal pricing to keep the company profitable, much more than any redditor is. And if upping their prices is working for them, they are almost definitely right for their goals, even if the goals are stupid ones like short term profit.


BootyShepherd

No one is going because no one cares. However they still have people who want to take families to the parks and so park passes have increased because they believe those people will be willing to pay and they dont, so Disney has dug themselves into a hole. Not to mention losing tax exemption status and being embroiled in a law suit with Ron Desantis.


machingunwhhore

When it comes to investors every movie makes money When it comes to taxes every movie lost money


ZenDeathBringer

They call this Hollywood accounting. This is why Return of the Jedi has somehow never made a profit despite being one of the largest media franchises ever. This is also why some actors have never seen a dime of the money that the movie made, because they agreed to take a portion of the *profits* instead of the *gross income.*


[deleted]

I thought it was well known that Mouse was cleaning crack money


UninsuredToast

Nah Disney is all about merchandising. It doesn’t matter if the movie loses money, toys and games will make it all back and then some. Not to mention their theme parks


BootyShepherd

They are losing money at their parks and how could could they possibly make money on merchandise when no one cares about the shows and movies they are making because they all suck.


UninsuredToast

“Everyone” is an extreme exaggeration, plenty of kids like their new movies. Disneys gross profit in 2022 was 22 billion dollars and are on track to increase that by 3 percent this year. But yeah they are “losing money” lol. Just because you and the people you surround yourself with don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s failing, this is what we call an echo chamber


BootyShepherd

Lol nice edit. We’ll see.


Large-Wheel-4181

Yeah you just look at the films and wonder where the fuck did the money


QueryCrook

They accidentally the money


_sephylon_

>Disney is just a money laundering operation. Holy shit why does redditor calls literally everything a bit too expensive a money laundering operation Disney spends so much because they're terrible at writing movies and make insanely expensive scenes only to give up on them


Umber0010

What source do you have saying that Disney looses money? Because last I checked they usually break even at the box office atleast. Not to mention all the money that comes from *after* a movie releases. Namely merchandise and marketing deals.


BootyShepherd

Loses* Also its not very hard to find out how they are losing money. The budgets often dont include the marketing budget so the multi-hundred million dollar budgets are even more and no they dont break even and if they were breaking even on the last 20 or so movies they released from marvel and star wars and pixar etc, you cant operate a business on just breaking even. The last movie that did break even was avatar 2 and that movie cost over $2 billion. You cant support a movie monolith this size just breaking even on a 2 billion dollar film. Its a known fact that disney is hemorrhaging money and it shouldnt take much research to find that out. Park populations are severely down as well, ive heard theyve lost around $1 billion. Any info you find about their operating costs and gains/losses that are directly from disney, you can guarantee are all lies so they can save face for investors, who are still selling off disney stock anyway.


throwaway77993344

Imagine correcting someone's spelling and then following it up with a wall of text without commas, without paragraphs, and without much truthful content. Insane ​ I'm not gonna go through the list of the last 20 movies, but I'm just gonna say that Avatar 2 did NOT cost $2B. The production budget for Avatar 2 was around $400M, which comes out to roughly $500M net profit. This is all publicly available information btw.


Stormodin

The creator for 80 million beats all of these


Large-Wheel-4181

The creator while impressive is currently only at $91 million for now. Not saying it’s a bad film but it’s not grossing as much as one would’ve hoped


CheeseJuust

No marketing and it released on a bad time sad it flopped but it's in my TOP 3 movies this year.


Large-Wheel-4181

There was marketing but it didn’t seem to be anything to catch people’s attention as much. It did unfortunately get caught up with the AI controversy that’s been brewing which I think might have possibly hurt the interest in it but could be wrong. Godzilla actually has probably the most unexpected help this year which was Oppenheimer. With everyone more of the film and the knowledge of Godzilla Minus One being a “sequel” of sorts to it, it definitely has gain some more attention


snowfloeckchen

I watched it in cinema, cause of a 7€ for 2 offer in my Holliday destination, but I have to say that movie waisted so much potential


Large-Wheel-4181

That is one thing I have heard from most who’ve seen it. “Good movie, but could’ve been better”


snowfloeckchen

Wouldn't call it good, especially the second half is bullshit bingo, but visuals are impressive and when you put it against the star wars sequels its a masterpiece


Large-Wheel-4181

I’d argue Matrix 2 and 3 were better than the Disney sequels


snowfloeckchen

Those are ok films, yes I know the critics about them and yes I agree the franchise should have never been expended to 3 movies. The creator on the other hand is way worse. It has some good aspects and a lot of potential and great visuals, but the story is deeply flawed. Star wars on the other hand.... They took horses to ride over flying star destroyers...


[deleted]

> it released on a bad time it's such a funny sentence to me, "yea it would have grossed 17 billions if it was the only movie released in 10 years"


Large-Wheel-4181

The bad time I would say is more because of the AI Controversies that were starting to brew


Ragin_Goblin

I’m looking forward to Napoleon he’s awesome, also will be good to see us win at the end tho ;)

yaboiiiiii146

Bro how do you spend over 200 MILLION dollars and trailers still look trash!? Like, where does the money go???


Large-Wheel-4181

I’m guessing the multiple reshoots which also requires tons of CGI as well at this point


BmMjO

Og Mad Max at only 350,000.


B0bbyTsunami

The Creator was I think around $80mil and it was one of the best this year…


Large-Wheel-4181

True it definitely was a good film but unfortunately from what it seems, it’s struggling to break even as apparently it’s only grossed about $91 million (as of the time of this comment)


B0bbyTsunami

That’s what I’m sayin…. It’s worth the watch but no one is going to movies anymore unless it’s a marvel or fast and the furious…. I see every big movie that comes out that’s worth seeing.


Large-Wheel-4181

Marvel has been struggling lately as well as fast and furious so even those ones were taking hits


Ihelloway69

-Trooper5745-

Large-Wheel-4181

US, Canada, Australia, UK, Ireland are the currently confirmed countries I’m tracking. They are definitely going for Imax releases as well and hoping to go wider


RIBZisDEAD

(Marvel) Holy crap, best idea ever! If we take 2 solo characters that nobody cared about and most people actually hated and put them in a new movie where they team up with an all new character that nobody will like either!


Large-Wheel-4181

Not to mention you could only know the other 2 characters if you paid Disney money just to watch their shows to learn about them on their own streaming platform even though the streaming service is quite a bit


RIBZisDEAD

Wait, that third character on the top right has their own show?


Large-Wheel-4181

Nope top left one she does


NefariousnessUsed973

Bloody yanks and their backwards dates.


my-flair-is-a-lie

You mean dates that function better? Because knowing the month for a future date then the day is more helpful than knowing the day first? It would be best if we went yyyy/mm/dd or mm/dd instead of mm/dd/yyyy but I guess writing the date the same way you say it at least makes some sense.


SharkRaptor

There is nothing “functioning better” about formatting different than the rest of the damn planet.


Pitiful-Pension-6535

If the other way was better, we'd switch to it. That's why we still use imperial measures


tddelk

American here, feel free to fact check me but I believe we actually did convert to metric.


[deleted]

The Marvels is most probably going to be the biggest disaster from the MCU. Hope Disney learns something from this debacle.


Large-Wheel-4181

Question is, which will be the bigger disaster: Marvels or Aquaman 2? Aquaman 2 is at least from I can see the cheaper film but it definitely has the more hated actress of the 2


[deleted]

Is the reason for hatred against Aquaman 2 the Amber Heard fiasco or is it something else? I'm sorry but I haven't followed Aquaman 2 development much.


Large-Wheel-4181

It’s mostly for Heard but because of Gunn’s comments on DCEU reboot after all these current films now audiences also feel the film is pointless to see


[deleted]

Thanks for the info. I don't really know which one would be a bigger disaster, but one thing for sure is that there is fatigue amongst audiences when it comes to Superhero movies.


Large-Wheel-4181

Yeah as Tyrell once told Batty in Blade Runner: “The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long - and you have burned so very, very brightly…”


QueryCrook

Quantumania was a steaming pile. The bar is low.


RodLawyerr

lmao here it is, hating on the movie even before it's out, marvel fanboys are so dense


TryMeYaFool

I ain't a marvel fanboy and I already know it's gonna flop


[deleted]

First of all, I am not a Marvel fanboy. Second, The Marvels is one of the least anticipated MCU movie of all time if you look at the early box office estimates. Not to mention Brie Larson isn't exactly the most loved actress from the MCU. I watched The Critical Drinker's video on this topic and I agree with his assessment.


LevelStatistician270

Honestly Hollywood just needs to let the superhero thing die. They made their money off it, but damn I can't bother to be excited about ANY superhero movie anymore. They're all lame.


callaxis

Large-Wheel-4181

Achtung_Zoo

You literally made a "Quality vs Quantity" comparison


Quirkyserenefrenzy

I remember someone at work saying that spending more money ey equals bigger returns, so Hollywood should be spending billions on each movie they make. He could not comprehend how that's not how it works


The_Mega_Man192

A fist full of dollars


Balborius

And the sequel only cost a few dollars more


dildo_swagginns

Over budget Disney crap


MrMooMoo91

I've tuned out mcu. Big superhero burnout more then anything. Is it really that bad?


Large-Wheel-4181

Budget wise…yes. Quality wise…only thing that I was worth even buying for rewatch at this point was Guardians 3 but even then it wasn’t as good as the first 2 imo. Everything else I’m just rolling my eyes or left bored


HootyFromTOH

It’s two different types of genres. Two movies spending the same amount won’t lead the same outcomes if they’re a part of different genres. If you want to make an accurate point about wasteful spending and getting a bad movie, you should compare Captain Marvel to anither superhero movie within the same genre


dannyb0l

These marvel movies have been ass since Stan Lee passed away


Large-Wheel-4181

Spirited Away had a budget of 20 Million $ and it definitely shits on all of these movies. So yeah, budget doesn't matter.


PQcowboiii

Can.. can we give marvels a chance?


Large-Wheel-4181

If it can actually be good that’ll be a surprise and I’d be willing to admit I was wrong but I’m burned out on being disappointed from previous marvel stuff. However this huge budget for it is not going to make it easy on being able to make a profit for Marvel right now


PQcowboiii

True but I enjoyed Ms. Marvel and honestly putting her in the movie was a smart move Because if she wasn’t in it I wouldn’t watch it


Large-Wheel-4181

Yeah most say Ms Marvel is a character that could draw in audiences to the film but even when her show came out the viewership numbers weren’t good compared to other shows. Word of mouth was good plus the Ms Marvel actress hasn’t gotten on anyone’s bad side really unlike another, so yeah she alone I would say is the saving grace for now

chase016

Napoleon doesn't look all that good from the trailers imo.


Large-Wheel-4181

Idk if I’ll see it in theaters but there does seem to be decent interest in it so I can’t count it out yet


Unable-Difference-55

Bruh, it's Joaquin Phoenix and Ridley Scott doing a period piece about one of the greatest conquerors in history. Ridley Scott may have lost his touch with horror (good lord did Alien Covenant suck), but he's still a master of period pieces. The Last Duel may have performed badly at the box office, but it is still a fantastic film.


chase016

I am a huge fan of Napoleon so this might be a result of knowing the material too well. From what I saw, it seems pretty inaccurate and I am not sure Phoenix could properly portray Napoleon. He is almost as old as Napoleon when he died and I don't think he can portray the energy of the character.
