Meh
waiting for Shazam and Hellboy
On line demand for tickets to “Avengers: Endgame” was so huge it crashed every major ticket web site yesterday.
Interesting how everyone applauds these film openings, milestones, and profit. Where are the RATS in this? They look the other way but say everyone else must “pay their fair share,” yet have not once defined the term. Hollywood is exempt from criticism on their fantastic profits and ignored by rabid liberals because they are those very same rabid cockroaches.
Unbelievable that these adult cartoons are so popular. Say a lot about the mental state of our country.
Today’s youth truly live in a fantasy oriented world.
how much per ticket?
and do they count the ones given away for free?
I predicted at least $1 Billion on this site - not because I thought it would deserve it, or because I wanted it to succeed, but because I understood the market and the franchise: It was the penultimate episode in a 22-film arc, starring a character who would play a vital role in the culmination.
Certain frequent posters here predicted it would bomb (one particularly aggressive frequent poster asserted categorically it would top out at $300-to-350 Million - losing money); they did so, I opine, because they wanted it to bomb, and were unwilling or unable to separate their egotistical wants from an objective assessment of the industry and culture.
People who call themselves conservatives, and who tout objective reason and market forces, should not succumb to the wishful thinking that characterizes the leftist.
phantom menace did well, I presume its a combination of people on autopilot who buy into every hyped movie and Disney monkeying with the numbers. For some reason, sjwism is the only thing in the world corporations will stand strong on instead of crumbling to the first demand.
So they got away with things this time but if they keep pushing the same buttons I think people are going to wise up eventually.
It is probably not possible but I would like to see the count of actual, in-the-movie-auditorium viewers and compare that to the count of tickets sold. I suspect that the first number is far, far less than the second for many left-leaning movies.
A few years ago I ran across an article in which the author (a leftist) exhorted people to buy movie tickets to a show even if they could not attend. The obvious intent was to drive up popularity via huge ticket sales.
Think of it as the Hollywood version of the book scam where millions of copies of a liberal author’s books are printed and then purchased en-masse by the DNC. A few copies end up on liberal coffee tables but most copies are stored in a warehouse never to be seen again.
Fools and their money are soon parted.

Don’t care
