jaedmc Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I feel like making 60-90 million through streaming, charging 30 bucks on top of the sub fee isn't a failure. The article doesn't really give context as to why that's bad other than this doesn't clear the film's budget. But why would that even be an expectation when the movie was originally budgeted to be a wide theatrical release in a non-Covid pandemic? That's using an unrealistic metric of success in today's current situation. Additionally yahoo misreading the data and thinking it fross over 250million makes the smaller numbers look bad by comparison, but what else is doing these kinds of numbers? 60-90 million for a product that everyone knows that if they wait longer they'll get for the price of their subscription fee is fucking crazy. That's apparently a huge market of people who don't care to pay theater sized ticket prices to watch a movie on their TV that they never picture calibrated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's apparently a huge market of people who don't care to pay theater sized ticket prices to watch a movie on their TV that they never picture calibrated. This is the article we discussed a little in the Box Office thread https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2020/09/mulan-box-office-pandemic/616433/ From it Quote Stateside, one could argue that Disney made the right gamble. Tenet is playing in mostly empty theaters and has grossed $36 million domestically; even the lower end of the estimates cited by Yahoo would suggest that Mulan made twice as much online. Because Disney released the film exclusively on its own platform, it gets to keep all of that money, as opposed to having to split it with cinemas or with companies such as Apple and Amazon. Even so, the film needs to make far more than $90 million to cover its budget, so the overseas release was crucial. But Mulan stumbled—its grosses dropped a disastrous 72 percent in its second weekend in China. So to somewhat answer your question - Similar to what JL brought up - it is two issues getting conflated. The disaster that was its release in China is really the bad news but since it is lumped in with the money made via On Demand, it isn't the primary focus - It is mainly due to the perspective that many have - inside and out of Hollywood - that anything less than being in the black is a failure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
