That budget is a complete lie, the movie was at least 350 mil. Disney has been downplaying their production costs for the past few years to lie about how much their movies are losing. They claimed the last captain movie was only 180 mil…
And they've marketed HARD. As they always do. But sometimes Disney knows when a battle is lost. I don't think this movie is going to make back the ad expenses, let alone the entire marketing budget or the budget overall.
LoL. I was going to post something similar. Apparently it's a Spanish city with a famous castle. TIL that a fake Marvel movie country has the same name as a real city in Spain.
Looks like they screened the movie there before it's US release, so it's listed as the first release date on the wiki.
Not really surprising, where would they got it from? There's a famous event in history based on the Spanish King's "Letters from the Segovian Woods". I thought OP was joking about the city.
Not blaming you for not being familiar with European geography. Almost no European knows what Cincinnatti is either.
But I do notice that a lot of these names come from somewhere. Romulan is apparently a Star Wars thing. That's obviously the adjectival form of 'Romulus'. Atreides? It's the plural form for members of the terrible house of Atreus. All the names in The Hobbit? They come from the Voluspa.
It's difficult to make up plausible names, which is why it's either this or slightly modifying existing names - e.g. Robb, Eddard.
Most countries will use "words that sound foreign" to spice up their media. And that's usually enhanced by using real words, because the human brain knows what is a real word versus something completely made up even if they don't know the language.
The Japanese are famous for doing it with basically everything, often to the point where it creates allegories and stories that weren't intended through the depth of what they stole.
Evangelion is a famous example, where they just took so much gnostic and Old Testament shit that just sounded "cool" to them it created an entire mythos that people still read into looking for religious significance of anti-Jewish rhetoric.
Thank you for supplementing your post with a source. I know I'm a cantankerous fuck about this but I do notice and appreciate when people source their stuff.

Not only that, but that budget doesn't include marketing, etc, which the company also needs to make back.

Snow White and the Seven Figure Opening
It's happening.
I originally misread this as the much more lewd "Rachel Zegler & The Seven Finger Opening"
Seven fingers. Into her ass or her face?
"Seven Into Snowy" is a legendary p0rn movie, isn't it?

Known for being terrible, lolz. (1978)
Didn't Ultron destroy Segovia?
Or am I thinking of Stargate?

IDK, it just sounded like some made up Eastern European name. Lots of movies make up countries like that.

Sounds like a real hairy situation

Seems it's been updated since this morning.
There is always a danger to cheering too early.
How do you justify casting a non-white woman for a movie which is literally called "Snow White".
If you can justify not casting any real dwarf actors to play dwarf characters, you can justify a lot of things.
Thanks Peter, pulling the ladder up for all others like you... Guess he doesn't like competition
