In the US Theaters and Studios split 50:50 ticket sales, in some countries, which I'll only name China as it's the second largest market outside the US and in some cases is a larger market, eg MCU films, but that could be reduced to simply that China has roughly 4 times the population of the US but is only like 30% more porfitable, but that's nitpicking irrelevant factors.

In China, the theaters are split 60:40 in favor of the theaters, with all numbers though globally its somewhere around 55:45 in favor of theaters, but that's minor figures.

In a 50:50 split taking these numbers 185,000,000 we can just round that up to 190. So Disney gets to take 95 million of that for themselves. HOWEVER.

That's also pretax, so it if gets hit against lets even go hollywood magic of 15% taxes on that, we can knock out well about 15mil, so they get 80mil. Now compared to the 200 million production budget they are still 120 million short, add in the near 100 million extra they paid for advertising they are 220 million short of breaking even.

So to get to this they would need to nearly triple they current sales just to be able to say, they made no money and lost no money. For this time of year, when all the other studios are putting out their summer flicks, movies need to make their money back in pretty much the first weekend, because sales only drop further after this point.

This also doesn't cover the expenditures of merchandise, Disney pays companies to manufacture toys, t-shirts and backpacks, which can balloon the total cost for the venture by hundreds of millions of dollars.

As a result this Little Mermaid could have in total cost Disney about $1billion just to try and snatch up as much of the market as possible and it's failing big time.

So basically she did the perfect way out where she did not lose but changed the battlefield to a way she can win

What does this word jumble of retardation even mean? She lost so perfectly she won? That's literally not what happened at all, she was going to lose everything even after freezing Bowser since she lost the ice flower and even if she kept it longer she would still have lost it since it only requires her getting hit once, it was a literal numbers game of how long until that happened as Bowsers troops were still around her and if not that Bowser himself would have broken free. She was literally only stalling for time the entire time and in doing so lost the only power up she had because she couldn't think of a better plan, if not for DK stopping the chains and Mario flying in everyone else would have died.

No where did she give up

The part where she gave up is where she gave up. She didn't upon getting told no by the ruler of the Monkey Kingdom that Cranky couldn't just ignore her request. Of course the movie isn't going to go into Peach sitting down to negotiate trade agreements this isn't Star Wars, but she had plenty of time to speak up for herself and she did not. If Mario had time to speak, so did she.

This by the way made little sense since Peach was clearly the better fighter

There was no indication throughout the entire movie that she was a better fighter than Mario, as the only fighting move she did up until that point was shoulder throw Mario, which if you actually saw the film was a result of him running up towards her and thinking "Hey this is the princess I need to talk to." He wasn't actively attempting to attack her nor defend against her, just to get to her.

And no it's more likely had Peach fought DK that he would have just fought her more seriously at the start of the fight since DK knows that Princess Peach has lived in their world for some time, while this new guy just got here. It was his arrogance that caused DK to loose because he underestimated Mario's tenacity, something that Peach was shown to not have and even so far as to explicitly state that to be a character trait she lacks because of her praising Mario's ability to not give up, she would not have said anything if she too had that same attitude, therefore she lacked the qualities that allowed Mario to progress and succeed.

He didn't give up after his first job and that led him to Brooklyn to fix the sewers which got him into the Mushroom Kingdom He didn't give up after being told no by palace guards and went to find Princess Peach even while being chased by armed toads. He didn't give up after each failure on the obstacle course and succeeded in a single day which is a far better accomplishment than Peach having lived her memorable life in that land and succeeding on a test designed by TOADS for TOADS, if anything it's not a Peach was better it was Human Beings are superior to Toads. He didn't quit against DK, which won him the Kong Army, not Peach He didn't quit when the Koopa Troopas chased them on the rainbow bridge, he was the one to suggest splitting up, not Peach He didn't quit when he was eaten by the giant fish which DK was ready to do. He didn't quit when he had to fight Bowser. Him not quitting was a trait that won the day, not anything Peach had.

Peach didn't save the day at any point in the story. So wherever your chimp brain came up with, "Oh she's a girl boss" well I wonder what the fuck a girl boss is when Peach never accomplished anything and her greatest feat was simply stalling the wedding and not having a way out because she didn't know Mario and DK were going to come to the rescue. AND even if she did defeat the Koopas and save everyone else, she would never have been able to stop the Bullet Bill from wiping out the Mushroom Kingdom.

I gave you're piss water ramblings a fair take, it was the rantings of a brain damaged subhuman and was dismissed like the garbage it was.

If you want to have actual criticisms of the film, watch the fucking thing because you have gotten so much wrong you clearly didn't see the film and you'll never convince me or anyone else otherwise.

Here are legitimate criticisms of things that the movie ACTUALLY did and not whatever you imagined in your head while jerking off to photos of your kike grandmother

Luigi needed more screen time in the Dark Lands where he would encounter Boos and other frightening things before getting captured and taken to Bowser. This would have worked far better for the purposes of giving him a nemesis in the form of King Boo and could allow Nintendo to seamlessly make a Luigi's Mansion spin-off

Luigi could have been given a role to step up and lead the prisoners against King Bowser because he learned that Mario isn't giving up and he shouldn't as well. It would have been awkward to try and fit that but it could be done.

More should have been done to explain why it was only the Kong's who had an army that could oppose Bowser, considering they were captured quite easily there was no indication outside DK himself that they were capable fighters. Because as it stands they were as effective as the Toads in the Mushroom Kingdom.

It showed on the map other lands, so clearly there were more people than just Kongs, Koopas and Toads.

It still didn't explain how Peach got into the Mushroom Kingdom, because by all the film showed us she entered through the exact same pipe that Mario and Luigi did which would mean, roughly 20 years ago a Baby Peach wondered into the Brooklyn sewer system and was whisked away and no one noticed. Or are their other pipes to the Human world and why was the human world separated from the other worlds. We saw the void that Mario and Luigi fell through, there were clearly other tunnels and it would stand to reason this is Nintendo hinting a Multiverse or sorts just to build their Nintendo Cinematic Universe.

But for fucksake, you Impossible1 clone, get better material and actually watch what you shit on since you're copy pasted responses were tired before the film even came out.

So just do what the Cucknadians up north do when they get burned this badly and take your own life. Just actually end yourself, grab the nearest sharp object and stick it straight into your carotid artery. It benefits the world if more useless trash like you isn't in it.

The film is a 6 out of 10, it's passable and something I could watch again if I had an hour and a half to kill and no interest in anything else at the time, 7 if I had to pick a movie to put on for my niece and I didn't want to hear Let It Go for the hundredth time.

Is it movie of the year, shouldn't be, will it be, probably considering all the garbage Hollyjew is shoving out their crappers. Is it better than any other animated video game movie, yeah, by a lot because it just is a Mario movie.

Tweet or account is gone stupid, this is why you use archive or something to keep it from disappearing.

Except she did it on her first try

Except that first try came after she had been living in the mushroom kingdom for what looks like at least a decade, if not longer and she was well aware of the benefits of power ups. Mario when he first used the power up had a problem with just jumping since he wasn't used to how his body now worked. That's like me raising my niece for a decade at shooting ranges and then I take her to a competition for the first time and she does well versus you bringing your son in and he struggles because it's the first time he's held a gun. It has nothing to do with her being a girl and everything to do with me raising her to handle guns and that she does well on her first time because she had a lot of practice and growing up around them.

It wasn't as if she first tried it as a baby, she had years and years to become used to how the world worked before her first attempt.

I don't see this as a loss, she did not allow Toad to be tortured and bought some time

It is a loss because she had no way to win, if she didn't cave they'd kill Toad and then still take her, because she was surrounded and Kamek could just use the same magic against her, she had nothing to beat that or all the armed guards surrounding her and even if she managed that she had no way of beating Bowser in a direct fight.

Which is literally shown multiple times, she only froze Bowser which temporarily stopped and he was able to get out just fine on his own, and once they got to Brooklyn he easily defeated her, DK and Toad in a 3 on 1 fight.

She did not lose to anyone, she accidentally lighted up his fuse. Until that moment she had already defeated Bowser and all the guards

Straight up not true, she intentionally lit King Bob-Omb's fuse but she got hit which made her lose her power-up and Bowser still had plenty of guards left and had it not been for DK stopping the chain, then everyone would have died since she had no way out if Mario and DK didn't arrive as everyone else would be dead and she was still surrounded.

If you want to criticize it, that's fine, but don't just make shit up that wasn't on screen to do it.

She did not need help in any task

She was going to immediately give up when Cranky Kong told her no, so she NEEDED Mario's help to convince Cranky. She needed the Kongs to help her get back to her own people, because if they didn't then she would never have gotten to the Mushroom Kingdom on time, and further on the Rainbow Road if the Kongs or Mario were not there, then Bowser's Koopas would have easily caught her since she would not have anyone to distract them. She needed Toad to bring her the Ice Flower, without him helping her everyone would have died. She needed DK to stop the chain after the ice broke and she needed Mario to stop the Bullet Bill from destroying her castle, she needed Mario and Luigi to stop Bowser because she, DK and Toad were not capable of defeating him in Brooklyn.

I don't know where you got this idea that she did everything without help.

At least watch the movie before criticizing it, because everything sounds like you just clicked through a video review and claimed it to be good enough to shit talk the film.

So listen here you dickless faggot. The film did a serviceable job in 90 minutes of putting Mario on the big screen, it played everything safe and if you wanted some Anti-Woke movie where Mario slaps Peach around and calls her a whore that should suck his cock while he smokes cigars and watched the half-nigger chimp Andrew Tate videos. That was never going to happen. What also didn't happen was some Girl Power Movie where every man was incompetent and Peach was the only one to do anything to advance the plot while stomping on Mario's balls the whole time.

Mario at the start of the film was shown to be good at what he does, his plumbing skills are great and the sequence of parkour getting through the construction zone show he's good at platforming. Then later when it shows that Brooklyn is flooding Mario immediately comes to the rescue and figures out exactly what the problem is when none of the other city crews can. So the film doesn't treat him like an idiot. What it does is have Mario struggle at getting used to a magical land of mushroom people where if you eat shit that comes out of a box that you get super powers.

No one in the film was portrayed as an incompetent loser, Bowser wasn't some dudebro frat who couldn't open a pickle jar he was a legitimate threat to the Mushroom Kingdom and would have won if not for Mario because everyone Peach knew would have been killed. Mario wasn't a dumpy out of shape idiot who had to be saved over and over, once he got through the platforming at the Mushroom Kingdom he had caught on pretty quick how things worked.

And to be fair, redoing the 8 films that average what, an hour and fourty-five minutes a piece, into possible an 8-12 episode season for each book where each episode is 45minutes to an hour maybe, that could put this upwards of 8 hours or even longer per season, which is far more time to actually go over the books and not have to cut nearly as much to make a feature length film.

As much shit as I give for the franchise splitting the last book into two films which was the cause of every other fucking film series doing it, honestly it needed it, I couldn't imagine them trying to get all that they did into just one film even if they made it two and a half hours long, it just wouldn't have worked with how much would need to be done.

If GRRM tried to do the reverse where after Game of Thrones ended he announced he was going to make each book a single film, there's just no fucking way that it would be anyway coherent with how much would have to be cut and rushed just to fit the run time

Because give Chris Columbus credit he did a pretty great job adapting the first three books into the films and kept as much relevant information with the time he had and it's just not easy when you have so many child actors simply due to the restrictions you'd have when shooting.

Sure the films had the benefit of Richard Harris, Maggie Smith and Alan Rickman who were phenomenal actors who really helped carry the story.

It would be interesting to see more age appropriate casting because Gary Oldman and every other character who played the Potters and friends, were all cast as older because JKR really wanted Alan Rickman to play Snape, which since they were all supposed to be the same age and Alan was already like 55 years old at that time, when rough estimate would have Snape and the others maybe mid 30's, if that, by the time Harry first gets to Hogwarts. So they were all cast older actors to fit the roles.

Because James and Lily went on to fight Voldemort right after graduating, then we got that prophecy of Harry being born, then he was like a year and a few months old when Voldemort attacked, the Potters would really only have been maybe 20 or 21 years old when they died, so they should look really young actually rather than the middle aged looks whenever we see them.

So it would be nice to get a cast that fits a bit better because she can't recast Alan Rickman into the role of Snape again.

Well considering that everyone is tearing apart the critics who hate it for being morons who don't even know the franchise, like this one bitch who claimed that the catsuit was humiliating to mario despite it being a powerup in the games for about a decade at this point, it isn't hard to see the editors and publishers telling their writing staff that if they don't actually have criticisms and haven't even touched a console in the last ten years to keep their mouths shut and just vague positives for the film.

As someone who has played mario since the NES days and saw the film, is it a masterpiece, absolutely not. But it's fun and it doesn't try to do anything it shouldn't, like tell kids that Luigi is trans or that Peach is now a lesbian.

It's just a Mario movie, that's it. It has fun with the premise and tries to establish somewhat how things work, which is all fine. There were some solid jokes, mostly out of Luma that I found to be good. Besides the licensed music the updated scoring of classic mario music is fantastic.

I don't think it will win awards but since Nintendo is likely to see a few hundred mil come there way for this film, if we get more movies such as a Metroid, Legend of Zelda or Kirby at the same quality, then I'll be happy since it'll be nice to have children's films I could show to my two year old niece that don't try to groom her and she can just have fun watching.

But the critics are butthurt about Chris Pratt not sacrificing himself on the altar of wokeness and use that as any excuse to attack the film, Mario doesn't have a thick first generation italian accent, which is fine too, it probably would have gotten old anyway.

My only gripe is that it seems to make Mario and Luigi like mid twenties to early thirties but it also feels like they are portraying them as late teenagers, it's hard to nail down exactly how old they are supposed to be in the movie.

And should some of the scenes have had more time to breathe, yeah some would have benefited by exploring more of what was going on or said, but again, it's fine since that means it doesn't linger and waste time either.

It's a perfectly serviceable movie and a 7/10.

If those are keloid scars then OP is a fag for claiming they are self-cutting which makes me right for pointing out those are not scars from self-cutting. Which makes you a fag for saying I'm wrong.

And again, those aren't from self-cutting.

Absolutely no chance at all those are real cutting scars. Ambercrombie would hire a semi-attractive clean person and then use make up to add them on.

All the scars are nice and clear and uniform, rather than completely jagged and off angled from each other. Since we all know that people cutting themselves are entirely in a mental state to have full control over their motor functions.

Scars are in "attention" zones, aka high visible places that people could see but not at all in a location on the body that could cause any type of real damage, because clearly people who are at the point of self-destructive actions are thinking, "Well I got to make sure I don't hurt myself".

And as we all know 'suicidal' people are always so active to want to be plastered everywhere for fucking pep brands and these types are also always going on and wanting everyone to know they are suicidal. Bet her parents are super stoked to have had someone they know show them the add for their daughter with her 'suicide scars' for everyone to see. Bet that's something we'll totally see.

Fake as shit advertising. Probably a dozen more reasons it's fake to beyond this.

Missed details.

Carrie Kelley, the last Robin as she came about during The Dark Knight Returns comic run, is a red headed girl. So of course she's been dyslexiaed from a Ginger to a Gamer Word.

Batman is dead, but at no point does this prompt any of the many "contingencies" batman would have that everyone screeches about "muh prep time".

Turner Hayes is some 'new' character likely because the CW was told by Warner Brothers that they aren't allowed to use any of the characters that might make them money, so no Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, Jason Todd, or Damian Wayne. It's all awkward because Carrie Kelley introduces herself to the group of the little shits as Robin, meaning she was working with Bruce already, so Turner should know who she is because he too would be a Robin as Bruce tends to put the kids in costume.

Honestly it's just more poorly written fanfiction about their little gay group who are totally related to big named characters.

Fucking one of them is the Joker's daughter. That alone should tell you the level of fucks you have to give about this shit writing. That the total psychopath who cared about nothing but causing pain and suffering had a kid.

Oh sweetie, there wouldn't ever be a denial, after step 9, step 10 is celebration not denial.

The idea of a Dungeons and Dragons movie only works if you make it a meta commentary on the game itself from the inside, otherwise you are essentially just making a fantasy film, unless you only use the most well known dnd characters which is a total crapshoot because even most people who play them don't know official dnd character names. Paizo tried that with Pathfinder for having each class having a default character but nobody uses them outside of Adventure League and they barely get touched on.

But you could do a DnD movie where a character gets killed off and when they arrive at the next town the actor is there in a different costume. "Barry, no I'm Larry, Barry's Twin Brother, he was a fighter, I'm a ranger." then later die and you meet the same actor in a wig and dress doing a bad woman's voice. "No I'm Marry, Larry and Barry's triplet sister, I'm a cleric because the party apparently doesn't have any healing."

Put in a point where the story fades to black and come back and the actors have bears and are dirty because the session got put on hold for like a month because nobody could get together and now they are picking it back up but their goal has changed because the DM forgot what they were doing and seeing if the audience realizes that's what happened when the group had originally set off to get a chalice but are not getting a necklace at the end.

Isn't this the one where they add time travel? Because if so my guess is that we are introduced to a new woman archeologist who knows so much more about history than Indy because all of it was done by black women who had all the credit stolen by white nazis and then she goes back in time and sets everything up so that young Indy can finish the early movies to the point that every success is really her success. And then they defeat "herr drumpf" or some shit like that.

Harry is the main protag, so what. He was never shown to be incompetent. Dumbledore being retconned into a gay means that he prioritized his gay lover over stopping him which in the book series directly leads to the start of WW2, meaning Rowling said the gays were the true cause of WW2. Hagrid is only treated as a buffoon by Malfoy, a main antagonist of the series, for Harry and the other characters, they respect him as a kind man who loves his job as keeper of keys and grounds before becoming an excellent care teacher, who routinely helped the school and Harry throughout the series up through the battle of Hogwarts. Flitwick is the charms teacher, he has a role in most of the books and in the movies is the one who puts up the barrier that keeps out the entire army of death eaters until Voldemort has to be the one to take it down.

But if we still keep up with your incessant whining about how unfair the male characters are treated. Let's look at the female ones.

Hermione is treated as a know it all bookworm that annoys everyone around her, in the movies the director's blatant favoritism towards Emma Watson, no doubt a sex pest, has actual caused more people to dislike Hermione's character for the amount of scenes stolen from other characters just to be given to her.

McGonagall, is said to be stern, but in the films she might as well be an idiot, how many times does Harry have to come to her with his belief that something is wrong before she actually listens to him? Especially after being right nearly all the time. She's shown to be completely ineffectual at stopping even someone like Draco from calling other people mudbloods and threatening them.

Molly Weasley, is show in the books and films to be an overbearing woman who in the fifth installment all but treats Sirius as an invalid in his own home and decided to enforce the "Don't talk to Harry rule" just because Dumbledore said so. About the only competent thing she did was blow up Bellatrix other than she contributed very little.

Ginny, in the films wasn't even a character for the few times she was relevant, in the second film after the introduction she dropped out of the film until the end, and in the later films Harry and Ginny had so little on screen time that most people who watched only the movies were genuinely surprised they got together while it infuriated the book readers because she stopped mattering.

Pretty much the only other female character to actually do anything in the films was Bellatrix and she was the main female villain.

Cho Chang was turned into a backstabber when in the films she was the one to turn on the Defense club Harry was running, not her friend as it was in the books. Fleur and Tonks pretty much vanished from the series, to where they were mentions in the films until you see Tonks dead and get told that Fleur married Bill.

And the only other female of note in the series is Dolores Umbridge, which everybody hates, so many people hate her more than Voldemort. Just some random bitch karen teacher is considered worse than their wizard hitler.

If you are going to whine about a series being "such and such theme" at least know what the fuck you are talking about.

There are plenty of leftist themes that hold back the story, but just as many unintentional right themes as well, such as the government will control the media, the schools will dumb down your education to make you not a threat, the (((goblins))) are just waiting for the fighting to die out to pick a side and will screw over good people for profit.

Let's make a list of "Competent males in the series" Harry - Was stated in the books to be good with his spellwork, and a match for Voldemort. Survives the series Dumbledore - Most powerful sorcerer in the world, who only died because he was cursed by Voldemort who placed a powerful compulsion charm on a ring that he might have known held a Deathly Hallow, something he among a small number of people Dumbledore was searching for. Filius Flitwick - one of the best professors in the school, survives Hagrid - competent with magical creatures, a great guy, survives

Let's see who dies though Snape - total prick, good at potions and a spy, but still dies to Voldemort Mad-Eye Moody, aged ex-auror, in the battle of the seven potters is killed by Voldemort Sirius Black - Harry's godfather, taken out by Bellatrix Remus Lupin - married to Tonks, he is taken out by Dolohov in a double battle with Bellatrix Lestrange killing Tonks

So of the competent males, the ones who actually expressed some level of proficiency in the series, of the 4 killed two were taken out by the main villain, another taken out by a psycho witch who was stated to be incredibly dangerous, while Remus lost to another wizard who was also a member of Voldemorts inner circle and thus considered dangerous.

Notice I didn't mention Ron or Neville, because they weren't written out of the story and had large parts to play in events.

Look you can be pissy all you want about the leftist writing in the HP franchise but in no way was the entire series "bumbling dad, smart graceful amazing mom commercial"

Of the families we do see on screen or mentioned in the books, the Potters, James fought off Voldemort to buy time for his wife and child to escape, Lily dies to protect Harry. The Weasleys are shown in the books to be a loving family and at worst Arthur is muggle obsessed but still good at his job.

About the only families that are shown to be bad are the Malfoys. Explicitly family, husband, wife and children.

It's more along the lines of, if you can dismiss a prosecutor because they do not share your beliefs, then why can't you dismiss a judge and jury of the same thing. And at least with a jury you'd have a stronger argument that those who are not of the same race and sex as you are not your peers than dismissing a judge and prosecutor.

Is there anyway to find a follow up because I would love to see how this plays out if he sues Reddit, his ex, the university and any news outlets who picked up this story and ran with it.

Don't worry, for that authentic experience they installed a robot that will spit on your food for you. However due to being as cheap as possible, it is using imitation spit made out of ground up chicken parts not used in the nuggets.

Yeah because a woman would have hit the nukes by now because her ego would have demanded that she show everyone what a girlboss she is.

First of all, we didn't outsource ALL of our manufacturing to China.

Second of all, I remember a certain man in a white house named Bill Clinton who signed off on letting any company move over for cheap. I could be wrong but I doubt it.

Thirdly, if we brought back the manufacturing it would be better because our environmental regulations actually exist so we could save probably more than 50% on the pollution produced because we have people who give a shit rather than just taking whatever bribe to skimp on everything they can.

Fourth, I support bringing back the jobs, better pay and it takes the jobs away from China, less money for them.

I can kind of see what the original tweet meant. Just because Chris-chan is a mentally fucked up man who did some fucked up stuff, the other trannies shouldn’t be trying to kick him out of the tribe.

You don’t see that happening with black criminals, black communities don’t come out and say the criminal wasn’t black to try and remove them from being black. But trannies will do that, instead of goimg, “Yeah that trannie committed a crime but they are still a tranny.” They try to boot them out and claim they aren’t a tranny anymore.

It’s a ploy to try and artificially make the trannys seem like they aren’t committing crimes.

And some trannys havent gotten the memo that they need to protect the collective over individuals so you have these tweets about how other trannys need to stick together

People were already making the jokes that Anakin slaughtered the Jedi and joined Palpatine because they molested him as a kid. But sure making Obi-Wan an alphabet person will surely stop those jokes.

That 41% is only an attempt, not a success. With your help and encouragement we can make winners out of each and every one of them.

Translation: "As soon as the protection I have from being lynched goes away I'm on the first plane out of here to a non-extradition country where I'll live in a gated building with armed security for the rest of my days."

Nazi Gender sounds badass.

Typically the funds gathered are used to fulfill the product orders and cover any issues that come up and thats hundreds of thousands of dollars needed to print all these comics and then ship them.

I dont have to make shit up to defend him, i just have to not be a bumbling idiot to realize that the money is needed for things related to actually doing business
