As opposed to what? You slash the budget and it won’t be the same Film. Sure they could’ve made it an HBO exclusive or whatever but they can do that after the theatrical run anyhow.

It’s overrated Dem slop about some lib domestic terrorists. I don’t even know why it costs so much to make since there aren’t massive set pieces. They probably overpaid for DiCaprio when any generic white actor would have been fine. They could have swapped in JGL or Ryan Gosling for half the price

"Ghetto" Pat Calhoun and Perfidia Beverly Hills are members of the far-left revolutionary group known as the French 75. Breaking out detained immigrants from a detention center in California, Perfidia humiliates the commanding officer Capt. Steven Lockjaw, who develops a sexual fascination with her.“

The Pynchon novel is shitlib/glorifies 60s radicals somewhat but is also kind of absurdist and self-aware. It looks like this guy ported it to the current day and made it a polemic for open borders and brown supremacy. I highly doubt it has the subtlety of the novel since this is a clear attempt at being the Resistance Oscar Bait of Trump 2, which is NOT FUNNY and VERY SERIOUS YOU GUYS.

It's basically tracking the same as Killers of the Flower Moon but on half the budget.

More importantly, I'm not sure a movie like this is a "failure" anymore. Some streamer would've paid $200 million for an Oscar contender starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Is it really a downside if it makes $200 million on top of that internationally?

Adult-themed hard R three hour long movie opens to universal acclaim and awards buzz plus $22 million domestic, $45 total and XO declares massive flop. Odd case.

It’s gonna play in theatres through November with a rerelease around awards season. This is a movie adults will watch at home.

Based on this opening and the expectation that it will generate more buzz than KOTFM, it’s going to make $250-350 from all sources within the next year and have a global box office north of $150 million.

It is but it also makes fun of shitlibs. When some revolutionary is not being helpful DiCaprio calls him a woke, pussy liberal. If anything you could argue he is attacking shitlibs for not being more militaristic.

Just passed $100 million. Conservatives are now making it controversial, which will only be good for its box office and awards season.

Also, its officially PTA’s highest grossing film.

No doubt it would have been a better ROI to make 20 horror movies, but it’s going to finish with global box office between $150-200 million and make another $100 million from rentals/streaming. Plus it will clean up at awards season, guaranteed to be nominated.

And taking a longer view, it really is a great movie that’s very rewatchable and will possibly be considered one of the classics of the Trump era.

I don’t really understand the conservative critique. On the one hand they’re saying that leftist terrorists are running amok IRL and so therefore it’s wrong to make a movie about leftist terrorists running amok.

While the leftists are ostensibly the good guys in the movie (mainly because the rightists are clearly bad guys) a major theme is that the struggle will go on forever and no one can ever break out of the cycle.

I haven’t read anything about the movie, just watched the trailer

Sean Penn was obviously a caricature of an evil white man who also is a WOC loving fag freak (basically EPAH)

but in general yeah both sides were not treated sympathetically. it’s just a dumb and fun movie that was very well done but has no real point

I don’t agree that it’s dumb. I think Benicio Del Toro’s character, literally Sensei, is the key to understanding the whole thing. He’s introduced off camera saying, “you forgot to breathe.” Then he’s a force for calm progress throughout his time on film.

I want to see the Sisters of the Brave Beavers X-rated film. Apparently that’s based on a real life weed convent.

It's not going for ticket sales, it's Oscar bait. You can tell by the quirky title.

I think the violent sodomy scene was added just for Oscar purposes

I walked out after like 20 minutes. Totally unbelievable characters, nothing in it rings true.
