It definitely doesn’t, I’ve worked on projects with micro budgets that came out very good and could contend in their spaces. On the flip the harder part is getting out there. This is where those projects failed. Filmmakers underestimate that part. If he does indeed get “cancelled” then getting visibility in festivals and so on will be a lot harder if not impossible for him. Then unfortunately he doesn’t have a built in fanbase he could go direct to consumer with.
He's fukking Jonathan majors. All he'd have to do is release a an Instagram clip or a tiktok "hi I'm Jonathan majors, I wrote and directed a movie on my own. Go to www.johnthanmajors.com for exclusive access. And it's a wrap. If he really wanted to get buck, he could say " fukk Netflix, they would have me, fukk lionsgate, fukk paramount, fukk AMC, and Marcus theaters, I tried to book theaters to air my movie and they dont fukk with me, so fukk them, come to my website and watch my film!". And off controversy and people jumping the bandwagon of fukk AMC, fukk Marcus theaters, fukk Wingate, fukk paramount, they're gonna watch.

And even ads for the flash are hiding dude as much as they can.

If they called that shyt Old Batmans and friends, they wouldn't have to change shyt in the way they're promoting it.

Arnie Hammer is selling timeshares.

Doubt he comes back.
Never heard of the dude, he anywhere as big or bigger than jm?

Bro tellin him to make Bowfinger :dead:

And rather than quote all your posts this applies to all of ‘em: you’re not taking into account longevity and quality. To put out a quality product takes money. To put out any product like that it takes money and he is not up like that. He just got on and no, you are not crowd sourcing a quality movie he’s not making Blair Witch :beli:

And then product. Longevity. Once people see you in a certain light quality-wise you’re typecast into that so your next move needs to be your best move.

Again I will mention Robert Downey Jr. He was blackballed as well. If he ‘went and made his own movies’ he’d never be iron man, never would have bounced back to the A lister he is. Now could he have ‘made his own movies’. Well, probably not but let’s say yes. They’d be movies no one would have ever seen. Just like, again , Mel Gibson
Mel Gibson?

Mel Gibson? The dude who in 2016 roughly 6 years after being cancelled DIRECTED that won 2 Oscars, was nominated for 6 won like 30 something awards and is back in Hollywood like he never left? I know he's white (white people get a pass for everything), but he's not the example you want to use.

Bruh this ain't the 90's or 00's anymore. The big 4 don't have a stranglehold on distribution like that anymore. You can raise millions in crowdfunding and release a movie through an independent distributor. That Veronica Mars movie that dropped almost 10 years ago, raised 5 million in crowdfunding and was released on Hulu. But even if you want a theatrical release you got companies like A24 which distributed that Everywhere all at once Michelle Yeoh movie that turned a 14 mill budget into a 140 mill profit. That's a better return than most anything coming out of the mainstream. And we don't know to what extent Majors brand is damaged, y'all talking like he's already persona non grata. Even if he gets dropped from Marvel don't mean he's completely finished. shyt even if you are disgraced don't mean people stop fukking with you, just look at Trump.
My nikka Everythyung All At Once had a budget of $25 million and cost $14 million and is distributed through every major platform with globally known actors and actresses. And took 4 years to write the script etc.

Wtf are you talking about?

John Majors got $15 million to produce a movie? During a severe writers strike? Who TF is he hiring and $15 million dollars???

Are you 14?? Man’s said but she raised money for Veronica fukking Mars (a solid IP) and released through Hulu (a globally major DISTRIBUTION platform) :why:

He could distribute it through www.johnathanmajors.com. And make people pay whatever he feels it's worth. Showcasing a video through pay services on the internet in 2023 is pretty easy. Hell he could go through tubi. If Tubi starts getting some quality content, they'll either get bought out or become a big dog.
My guy are you trolling?

Johnathan Majors gonna write film and produce a movie for xxx movie with the plans of distributing it through his personal website?? Or IF TUBI MAKES quality shyt?

That’s your plan? Tubi becoming a big dog or Majors suddenly being the most famous actor that ever lived to the point people will go to his website and pay to watch his film on their laptops because they are soooo intrigued???

Yall keep going to the extremes and I don't get it. JM has people that like his movies despite what they say, then you have those people that'll support him because it seems everyone isn't supporting him. You don't have to be the most famous actor to have someone pay for your movie, and once again it's easier for jm because he's already touched the top. That and people don't watch movies because they're sooooo intrigued. Motherfukkers will turn on Netflix while they wash dishes or do laundry or work, to fall asleep on, and if it's good they'll be like :whoo: shyt, lemme really see what this is about."

I remember when people used to laugh when Netflix was coming out with original shows. You couldn't have told me or many other people they would've had hits, not just good shows, but fukkin hits. Same with Amazon original shows. Same with Hulu.

I disagree but get where you’re coming from, unfortunately it doesn’t work that easily. He hasn’t built a core base that he interacts with like that yet. Not saying it can’t happen. Him saying he’s him will get some looks but I feel you’re greatly overestimating that right now. This is coming from someone who’s been watching him and actively saying he’s going to be the next one. The issue is thus far it’s been built on roles in projects with major backing. Having a core audience is far different. Which is why so many big names can’t do their own thing, meanwhile Joe Smoe on YouTube can make hella cash on a drop cause Joe Smoe has cultivated his base of people.

I’m sorry, did people go see Creed because
of Majors or because it’s fukking CREED

Wtf movie has anyone went to see because Majors was in it?

The Kang movie didn’t even come out yet lmao

Honestly I’m not mad at you I actually understand what you are saying but I hate when people apply “it’s simple” logic to real business shyt. And I haven’t put this out there but I know what I’m talking about more than you think

He don’t got no “core audience” that’s going to life him to the top via some movie on his personal website lmao. Even Martin Scorcese couldn’t do that - people watch out of ease and convienece, they not logging onto to your personal website and paying to see some low budget movie with free actors from the Bronx corner store or co-produced with Dame.

Like listen to yourself lol

LMAO even better, since Perry has a film studio in ATL, Majors should contact him to put him back on the map
TP ain't touching him, no one is right now.

There's a reason no one has come out in "support" of Majors and its because no one wants to be on the wrong side of an alleged domestic situation.

Even MBJ, who was side by side with dude everywhere, had him give the speech on his Walk of Fame induction, talked about being the next DeNiro/Pacino with him is because this shyt can get messy as hell.

So y'all are saying that no one is fukking with Johnathan Majors after this? No independant distributors, no major streaming platforms? No industry talent, he just out in the cold? According to who?

The point is can Johnathan Majors make his own movie and the answer is: yes he can. I thought that's what the premise of the thread was. The movie doesn't have to cost 15 million. I'm just throwing out numbers and examples. Zendaya and Denzel's son did a movie last year that cost 2.5 mill starring only them. No one ever said he's going to fund a tent pole project but he can crowdfund some small independent project.
