GTFOH with this Hating shyt. U better not be over 21 years old with this Ur hating" nonsense



If I think he can't act and he's one of the worst actors I'e ever seen that's all there is to it

Aint no way Jaden is one of the worst actors you've ever seen....Your zeal to shyt on him is making you look fugazi

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

i'm not about to read all that when I have real life experience, who wrote this shyt and also point out something that is along the lines of what you have talked about because I don't see it

movies make money for years upon years upon years after they've been released

That article shows you have no clue what you're talking about.

Ill sum it. Movies need to make double the budget. Marketing costs sometimes are bigger than the budget itself. Those deals you were talking about with studios making the bulk of the percentage of the gross in the opening week dont exist anymore. Its pretty much a flat rate now with the studios getting 54 percent and the theatre getting 46 percent.

You literally are wrong about everything and have no clue what youre talking

No. I was talking in general.

But I did enjoy AfterEarth. It was nice to see a scifi with black leads.

yeah the coli just shytted on it so i expected absolute trash. it wasnt amazing but it wasnt as bad as people tried to make it seem like, either

plus this bytch never produced a deal in her life

Every deal is DIFFERENT

plus this bytch never produced a film in her life

that article is case by case scenario

After Earth was 100 mil in worldwide marketing 130 mill to make
which was more than likely an inflated number

and made 244 mill, so how did it lose money

it was flop for Will Smith, but it didn't lose money

Scorcese films barely make profit if any

The distributor pays back the initial cost plus a percentage, you fukking moron, I DO THIS shyt so the Producer still gets paid, the distributor takes on the risk with all majority RIGHTS

I know nikkaz who worked on After Earth and work for Will Smith's Production company

also you do not know the agreement between the producer's and distributor, so you don't know what percentage of anything

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Is this for real? Every movie you watch has a child actor and 100% of them are better actors than Jaden Smith.

My 6 year old nephew playing a tree in his schools production of Peter Pan >>>>>>> Jaden Smith

Will Smith couldn't act until they got his mumbling ass lessons during the Fresh Prince either and he turned out okay. The difference is that Will Smith had motivation to get good, Jaden doesn't have that same motivation because he's going to get to be in his dad's movies regardless of talent.

You can't be serious....Jaden has been in what,,,,,3 movies.?

He was solid in Karate Kid

He was solid in The Day the Earth Stood Still

I haven't seen after earth, but the fact that yall think he's the "worst actor ever" reeks of racial bigotry, because you have no substantial evidence to base it on......

Plus I guarantee your mis reading the article, you can also google articles more recent saying the OPPOSITE because people on the internet who wrote blogs do know shyt, that's why they aren't producing themselves

I didn't say they were the same person the guy I know who produced Pawn is different than the person I went to school with who works for Will Smith

I can name names but I don't do that

 

[Master Teacher]

The percentage of revenues that the exhibitor takes in depends on the individual contract for that film — which in turn depends on how much muscle the distributor has, according to Stone.

this is the first sentence of that part of the article

you out your league man, like I said every situation is different depending on what's negotiated prior

SMH.

Read it you dumb fukk. The author provides evidence.

It even includes a link to a major theatres quarterly finances showing the percentage split.

Funny how you quote that but dont quote the very next paragraph explaining some movies the studio can get as little as 40% of the take with the average being 50-55%



After earth flopped. Stay mad.

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

Whats even more damning is the majority of after earths money was made over seas where the studio sees even less money. They get as little as 15 percent and at max 40 percent.


Flop.

 

[Lewis Black]

No hate on the smith family but jadens accent on after earth lmao I for real wanted to puch him it was annoying

all those numbers aren't written in stone and are a case by case scenario

That's depending on the risk, I can see how that can be negotiated


I can see a shytty movie like Ender's game having to succumb to that

not Will Smith, he's too big time, and they took lost with After Earth more than he did I guarantee

once again nothing in that article is concrete at all, and does the person who wrote even have any production credits

plus you once again don't understand how money is made in movies

we work of something called a SPREAD

depending on your position in the spread, the amount of money you make will differ

Will Smith made money, the distributor depending on where they came in might have took a lost, or broke even or even profited, without the details there's no way to tell

once again after earth had 130 mil budget, we don't even know if they spent all to make the film

We don't know the ticket split, I doubt Will Smith would have to give up half opening week
like I said around the third week yes

nobody is disputing After Earth was a flop from smith, what we are clamoring about is they hate when other actors movies bomb all the time

Flop.

you sound like that dumb ass nikka hating on Dre beats deal

you don't know what percentage anybody getting because every distributor is different

You sound like the fools that say you can't do cash back at closing deals in real estate no more, when people still do them all the time

Funny how earlier in the thread you said the percentage split was on a sliding scale from the first week on, even though those deals literally dont exist anymore.

Your posts are horribly written. You used the wrong words per definition on a constant basis. I'd be shocked if you had a high school diploma.

I've proven every thing you've said false. Then you quickly dance around the conversation and change it.you may seriously be autistic. I'm not even kidding.


One things clear though. You don't know what you're talking about.
