Babylon pulls 3.5$ million over the weekend off a 80$+ million budget

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

damn, Margot Robbie stays starring in BO bombs

atleast Pitt has Bullettrain from this year

Margot is 0/2

not including all her flops from the past decade

She's talented but she isn't a draw yet. The failures of this movie are far from her fault imo.

Edit - btw I meant Amsterdam. I haven't seen Babylon.

3 hours and 9 mins is insanity

When movies like this are made the discussion of Hollywood being a laundering scheme isn’t too crazy cuz anybody with eyes knows this was gonna flop.

everyone shat on the fact this is a movie about hollywood, but that was the only aspect that seems interesting. i wanna see that world... the actual movie itself looks fukkin terrible though. the frantic energy it gives off is offputting. the vibe and tone seems like it would be annoying after 5 minutes. looks like a flamboyant musical without the shytty music. Margot Robbie fukkin sucks when she's playing an "animated" character and i'm tired of her doing it. "Who wants to see me fight a snake?!" shyt looks stupid. and i just know Damien Chazelle thinks he's god's gift to filmmaking. fukkin dork.

my post from other thread

I'm going to see first week or first day, but is going to be a major example of a movie that just won't work anymore, in terms of budget/promo/ROI.

An incomprehensible trailer, for a common/casual movie goer, a movie star, Brad Pitt, who isn't enough anymore, and a December release. That's just my feeling.

I am hoping it's dope, seen at least 5 really good movies last month or so

Bardo
She Said
The Menu
Bones And All
Empire of Light

The thing is some of this is structure of what won't work anymore, but a lot is kind of a arrogance, or complacency, or delusion. The trailer for this movie is incomprehensible, to the average movie goer. It looks pretentious, looks weird, it's running time, the whole thing is a misstep in 2022. When people talk about Hollywood being out of touch, this is what they mean, to one degree.

Brad Pitt dancing in a tuxedo, with a 12/23 release, would have worked like 15-20 years. Not anymore.

Hollywood making movies about Hollywood will always get a chuckle out of me when they flop. Just so pretentious with an air of importance about shyt that important to literally only them or the star obsessed losers that follow their every move. Good riddance.

She had her whole p*ssy out in her debut feature. It could only go downhill, she had nothing to bargain with

Barbie could be the worst movie of 2023 and still make 200 millz

This and Amsterdam caught my eye just off the cast. Surprised it bombed.

 

[Uitomy]

Hollywood producers can trim the budget by not hiring tons of Alist actors and instead focus on cheap talent that are good and give them a chance to star in oscar bait movies to have a manageable budget.. but they dont do that.

And you know why

They all contracted, and rituals need to be adhered to lmao

 

[Electric Relaxation]

I feel like this is the 8th movie named Babylon.

Feels like Brad Pitt was in three of em.

No one wants to see that artsy crap. I knew this one would bomb once I saw the Chazelle dude. He feeling himself too much, good director but he needs to fall back some.

Hadn't even heard of it
