Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

[Phroobar]

Buddy Thomas…

Dammit…now it’s been said again

He used to jump in on mostly movie talk Air all kinds of grievances all over the map…

Spray…like a “semi-literary” machine gun

I blocked that guy a long time ago.

 

[monothingie]

Oh yeah this is fine…

Interestingly enough, this theater is a Disney Focus Group location where they continually do audience surveys.

 

[Disney Irish]

Absolutely. Because what you say is going to happen no matter what. You don't seek out the Hollywood spotlight unless you crave and want it. Otherwise you can be a stage actor, Broadway... There's plenty of options if you're in it for the love of acting.

That might have been true back even 10-15 years ago, but times are different now. Young people in Hollywood are more social media savvy now. They have seen what happens in the large franchises of the world, and what happens when fans get upset, and aren't running toward that.

Exactly! Any sane person. So going into it, you have to want it. But some get in and decide, huh, maybe I really don't want this. But the majority start off seeking that fame and fortune in my opinion.

I think people here have a different idea of what true fame and fortune are.

The important thing is with a WHOLE theater to choose from why did this person pick this seat?

…then you’ll be happy to know he was voted off the island

I think I'd rather go see The Day the Earth Blew Up.

Because it's the one I wanted.

To get extra close to the Hot Dwarf Action?

Conditions in Hollywood have changed Constantly for 100 years…
At one time they drank 18 hours a day…under lifetime contract for Pennies…and had to get garage abortions if it interfered with their shooting schedule…

Now social media and its drawbacks are part of the deal.

That’s life

They still want fame and fortune because it’s what life tells you to want.

You’re building an elaborate construct of actors that are not getting the right work after movies with stink on them.

Maybe it’s not this hard?

 

[monothingie]

To get extra close to the Hot Dwarf Action?

I’ll show myself out.

…well they say you “never go back”

This thread is more entertaining than the Snow White movie

 

[John park hopper]

The dwarfs and Rachel's hairstyle are the worst things about this movie and should be hidden as much as possible.

From what I have been reading this take on the classic Snow White is not going over to well looks to be another Disney flop

 

[monothingie]

…well they say you “never go back”

Sounds Kinky…I’m in!

I wouldn’t make too much off it…it doesnt come out for months…and everyone is busy at the grocery store prepping for the meal tomorrow and early bird shopping deals on Friday

I looked at my closest theater and there are 3 seats sold at the 2pm premier, 0 at the 2:40 show, 0 at 4:15, 1 at 4:50, 0 at 5:30, 2 at 7, 1 at 7:40, 0 at 8:20, 0 at 9:45, and 1 at 10:30… for a grand total of 8 seats sold between 10 showings with advance bookings.

To be fair if I pulled up that seat map I probably wouldn’t book early either, with no risk of the good seats selling out I’d prefer to just play it by ear rather than locking in a specific time a week early.

That’s 2 straight for the ole empire

And it might take stitch to break the slide

God help us all

This got weird quick!

It shows that despite the controversy and added attention, there is no excitement behind this $300M+ tentpole production turd.

People inside Disney Studios should be cleaning out their cubicles because of this completely avoidable disaster.
