Multiple industry articles have proclaimed the latest predator movie a big success after a “strong” opening weekend of… just $40 million domestic and $83 million global. Against a projected budget of over $100 million. With analysts saying it needs $262 million to break even.
By what metric is this a success? By straight comparison to the original, of course! The first predator only made $12 million domestic in its opening weekend!
In 1987.
As a completely new IP.
On fewer than half as many screens.
And then went on to make 80% of its total run after opening weekend.
On a budget of just $18 million.
Movie industry media are attaching Saturn V rockets to every goalpost and firing them into fucking space just to manipulate audiences into thinking this modern slop is popular and good. This shit will be lucky to lose $50 million.
Hollywood will never fail, it doesn’t matter how many millions of dollars they lose from producing garbage products, they can’t fail because they are a part of the mega conglomerate corporate hydra that’s owned and controlled by BlackRock….the investment banks (like BlackRock) are just a different wing of the international banks, and the international banks can print up an endless supply of money that they then loan to BlackRock, funds that BlackRock then uses to offset any losses they face in the big 5 mega conglomerates that compose 90% of the economy.
The only people effected by real economics are the people who own small businesses, they either stay profitable or else the bank takes their shit or they get bought out by the mega conglomerates through the endless supply chain of shekels they get from BlackRock, that BlackRock gets directly from the international banks. BlackRock linked businesses can’t lose no matter how much woke shit they produce….only we can lose. The entire economy is fake and gay.
