Kinda scared, Holla Forums

Unless you're a reviewer getting paid to watch it, I don't see people spending money to watch what they think will be a horrible movie with the price that tickets are. I'm sure there will be a ton pirating the cams when they pop up though. Unless there is heavy hype behind it, articles with glowing reviews that don't devolve into shame tactics, and good word-of-mouth, I don't believe it'll make a big splash at the box office. Especially with the heavy backlash bashing they've been doing constantly in magazines, and in interviews, you have to be at least be casually worried because they aren't presenting anything compelling for why you should watch this movie without resorting to insult.

This is a cycle seen in many movies before but since people are article druggies to the drama at the moment rather than what is clearly shown and advertised (including the backlash response from those involved in the movie), a smart person would want to wait a least a week to see how it does before jumping headfirst into a movie that has had an astounding amount of questionable PR. Maybe it'll pull a The Force Awakens and pull in the money by just being a bland rehash of the original movie.

What the fuck is this? Nickelodeon?

So, which actress is Sony going to kill to drum up support for this? McRibs seems like the best bet.

I'm betting the first couple of days it will probably appear to do well, and then when what everyone already knows is confirmed it will drop like a rock.

It'll do about as well as Fantastic Flop. Maybe even worse.

The fact that everybody hates the trailer is already a good indication. Even a shit movie like BvS or Force Awakens had tons of fanboy defenders. This movie doesn't even have that

this to a point of no return

people will pay to see it because mysogny.

people will pay to see it out of curiousity.

people will pay to see it because their girlfriends dragged them to it.

nobody will see it twice. despite glowing paid reviews from gawker and company, despite zero competition in it's chosen slot, the movie is going to bomb after opening weekend.

double dubs confirm

The worst we are going to have to deal with are the journalists hammering in what a success it is despite the "haters" for the first week or so. They'll make a point about that then ignore when the sales drop off and it's a financial failure.

they're still editing it, they might make it into something that isn't box office poison

They only way they'd do that is if they just dumped everything they've filmed and pretty much made another movie.

You can't make a bad film decent purely by editing it

it worked for star wars

My sides will be destroyed laughing at the retards who actually waste their money on this shit. If the goyim are truly that fucking stupid, all I can say is good for Shlomo.

What did she mean by this?

With all that we've seen I wouldn't be surprised if that was an actual poster for the movie.

Fantastic 4 wasn't as vocal.

Fantastic 4 was a better movie.

They're going to pretend nothing's happened.

Feminism follows the pattern of abusive wives, only applied to society instead of husbands.

At the moment, pundits are focused on painting the first weekend gross as a massive victory.

oh I get it haha sex. she has sex hah man ejaculate inside her body holes lol

>>>/triggered/

...

Do people pay to see Adam Sandler movies because they hear how shit they are?

not really.

They need an already committed fanbase to make money, this movie's success depends entirely on how big the Feminist audience is.

pawl
feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeg

They really aren't that big. Keep in mind these people could barely conjure up 300,000 of their numbers to give the fucking trailer an upvote.

They have quietly changed everything about the marketing of this film. Look at the fucking poster you posted. It's so sloppy and half-assed. Why'd they put the blonde on top of the car?

They needed to make room for the only actor getting anything close to a positive reaction. "Look! Men! Okay, we begrudgingly admit it WE FUCKING NEED YOU! Look, Thor is in this! Yeah! Forget the fact that he's playing the secretary, and rather than being sarcastic and clever like the female secretary the entire point of his character is that he's a stupid huhwhite male for the female characters to drool about how hot he is, he's a funny dumb right? You like being condescended to and mocked, don't you?"

what if hitler was a woman
would he have killed children first?

...

he would have only killed children.

and everyone would have been okay with it because he's a woman.

y'know, as long as they weren't jewish children.

or female children.

...

lol
but seriously women will readily kill children of either gender as long as they aren't blood related to them. Men get the bad rep because of a few ex-con boyfriends, but women are as bad as male lions around other people's kids

This. Does 3d even mean anything anymore?

Yes, higher ticket prices.

...

Star Wars worked because Lucas filmed too much and they could pull shit out.

With this, you always have an uruk-hai, a fat chick, and two lesbians who all suck at comedy.

...

the thing is we've only seen a fraction of the footage
they could turn a box-office bomb into something that makes back its investment, is all I'm saying

And what we've seen squares up with that Plebbitor's synopsis of the movie based on an advanced screening

The movie is going to be awful, no two ways about it. That's why they're damage controlling so hard. The irony is that all this promotion is probably costing them money, which will just make the blow land even harder

At the theater I work at people pretty much only see 3D when the 2D showtimes are sold out. Otherwise the 3D showtimes will only have 2 - 11 people in them depending on the day and the time.

I actually want to see this happen. I want the movie to get it's dick sucked by every "professional" movie reviewer who lives, and get completely thrashed by the average viewing audience.

At that point maybe people will start to see the disconnect between what they want to sell vs what actually sells.

I flat out refuse to see the 3D showings of movies. If my mate rings and says his and he are off to see the latest capeshit or whatever, I won't go if they're to the 3D showing.

FFS, it's annoying easily dirtied piece of plastic you have to wear on your face that makes low light scenes impossible to follow, all for the sake of a distracting gimmick that breaks your immersion. And you have to pay for the privilege. Fuck that.

You're going to get your wish, because that's exactly what's going to happen.

you don't know what other footage they shot
they refine this shit with test audiences, it could be completely different by the time it comes out

This is a $130 million movie. It's unlikely that they shot much more than they needed to.

we'll see

Let me tell you all something; This movie will fail. My mother and Grandmother love these "comedians". They lived their lives knowing too much about Ghostbusters because of my Dad, my Uncles, my siblings and me. They have no interest in this, and they wanted to see Spy. If this movie looks unappealing to the people who want to see Spy, they are doomed. All they have is the people who will see it to laugh at how bad it is, and they are all mostly smart enough to pirate it. I know exactly one person who wants to see this. All of my friends (except the one) thinks it looks awful. All of my family members thinks it looks awful. Out of 50+ people they have one person who will be seeing it, and possibly a second who is a die hard fan of Ghostbusters and wants to see how ruined it is. And guess what, I'm
Both the people who might be seeing it work at the same theater I do. The ~2 audience members they have out of the 50 people I know are going to see it for free. Being constantly on the internet and hearing so much about this movie makes it seem like it's going to be a huge hit, but people are not interested in it. In the real world, people think it looks dumb, and off-putting. If it does anything at all it will make less then what Spy made (235 million), and this movie cost a little more then double what that movie cost. Sony knows they fucked up, and they fired the producer who green-lit this.
There is no reason to worry.

While it would be fun to see, the most likely scenario is that they'll back down, like they did with Fantastic Flop, like they're doing with Current Gear. You might get a few here or there who'll say it's a masterpiece but generally speaking if critics want to remain respectable and thus useful to pay-off for future shilling, they will have to admit this godawful movie is godawful. At best, some of the negative reviews will focus on what a shame it is that the movie turned out so poorly when films with positive role models for women are rare or some shit.

I messed up, I'm not
I'm

Porn why?

The problem with 3D is it ALWAYS ends up becoming a gimmick. There are a few movies that do it well, but eventually they all seem to end up doing shit like throwing stuff at the screen. "LOOK OUT, IT'S COMING RIGHT ATCHA"

This is the kind of shit that killed it before. It got distracting and used wrong.

did she fuck asian men who eat nothing but squid or something?

Similar situation. My mother is exactly the target audience for shit like Spy. She tried to drag me to The Boss with her repeatedly. She loves every movie McCarthy makes.

Except for one, she hated Bridesmaids. She said the same thing three different girls I was dating around that time said, "I thought this was supposed to be funny, but it's exactly the same as every chick flick I've ever seen!"

I saw some movie with her a couple weeks ago (she basically always wants to go see a movie whenever she visits) and we saw the Ghostbusters trailer. She was dead silent for most of the trailer, but to my horror laughed at "I don't know if this is a lady thing or a race thing, but I'm mad as hell!"

I was worried that meant she wanted to see it but she later told me "It just looks so dumb" and "God I hate feminists." adding "I still think Thor is cute, though."

I don't want to get into a pissing contest or anything, but I'm just really glad my girlfriend shares my movie views. We both hated Star Wars 7, we both love the original Ghostbusters, and we both think this one looks like utter shit.

the problem with 3D is it's a shitty gimmick in the first place
you can't look around into the picture so it only makes sense if you keep your head completely still

they haven't really kicked up the marketing yet either, so a lot of the target audience isn't excited about it. they might completely scrap the nostalgia angle, for example, and advertise it as a spiritual successor to bridesmaids

It comes out in less then 30 days. It's too late for that to happen.

Too bad Hugo flopped

That had a string of bad movies following it, a movie in production hell, and a fucking stupid choice of taking a comic and making it into some body horror shit.

This on the otherhand is a reboot of a comedy from the 80s which for some reason is getting an expanded universe, with a 154 million dollar budget on top of that, and special effects that look worse than the original

are you kidding me? the american cultural attention span is far less than 30 days

If that's true then why have they been advertising this movie like crazy since February? Isn't it a waste of money if they could just wait until now and push it down everyone's throat?

3D barely even works in movies. All the times I've seen a movie in 3D nothing even remotely popped out of the screen until somewhere near the end. I even forget I'm watching in 3D up until that moment.

Anyway, I'm thankful most of my friends are pretty oblivious to upcoming movies and watch stuff for free anyway. I think one of my friends is actually legitimately misogynistic as well. He's even told us that he can't talk to a women without thinking about fucking her.

See, that's just sort of primal instinct. As long as he isn't raping, he probably isn't actually misogynistic.

That's not what I mean exactly. It's kind of hard to explain in text. I think he would much rather not talk to them or most people outside of our friend group. He often refers to females in skirts as trashy whores, etc. He also considers people we don't know who are being friendly towards us to be completely weirdos or faggots, mind you.

I suppose it's because he has a very black and white view on the world though. I don't know, to be honest.

Anyway, my point was that none of us will be seeing this movie, at least.

I blame abatap. I could never enjoy a 3D movie, because I need my glasses to see in the first place and contact lens are out of question.

I've always thought this piece of shit will make a boat load of money. It's all about Jew marketing, not quality. Face it, it's going to be hugely successful and garner a sequel. In fact, there will probably be more Muhsoggykneebusters movies than original Ghostbusters ones. And each one will be more "progressive" than the previous. All you can do is vote with your own dollar and not pay to see it.

...

they were hoping for long-term fan excitement a la star wars, haven't they toned down the marketing after all the backlash?

It'll probably get good reception since people are expecting the worst by lowering their standards.

My mom wanted to see it after one commercial. I told her I wouldn't see it with her. I don't think she's actually going to see it though.

Are you implying semen is anything but slimy?

You need to divorce you mom user. It's not okay to like the new ghostbusters.

it really cant be as bad as it's portrayed

even troma video studios got new life with electronic distribution.

im going to laugh my ass off when ghostbusters 2016 gets the same cult treatment for being bad

It isn't proven wrong, it is proven circumstantial. All publicity is good publicity within certain contexts, but not for entertainment you are trying to sell. Negative publicity of that will not inspire people to purchase the product. Same goes for most products in general. If the bad publicity is geared toward the quality of the product, then it works against people purchasing it (or exchanging money to view it.)

All publicity is good publicity works when either the publicity isn't tied to the quality of the product itself or if it was an entirely unknown product prior to the publicity itself.

Did you just compare an intentionally shitty underground shlock studio with a Hollywood product?

what an utterly ridiculous idea

read above you

It's runny with little lumps in a normal person. Check your diet, eurofat.

im gonna prate it, but i have normalfag friends, so i gotta ask, if they redbox it, will that give anything to the movie?

Failed comedies don't get cult followings.

A bad drama can be unintentionally funny because it's bad, and so it gets a cult following. There's no other way a bad film can get a cult following.

A comedy gains a cult following when it has a limited release and is actually funny, or the jokes are sophisticated and need careful viewing, and word of mouth spreads.

A comedy can't be unintentionally funny. If it's funny, it's doing it's job. This movie just isn't funny. None of the trailers have anything remotely funny in them. And there's no sophistication here. The jokes are fart jokes or groin hits.

Nothing here gets a cult following unless the Uruk takes the pudgy hobbit one to Saruman at some point.

That's only what they wanted to show to the target audience BEFORE release

Did this thing even get a decent ad buy? I've seen a commercial twice. Everything else has been noise online.

if pascal was still in charge i would grudgingly accept it might have been on purpose

as things stand now i highly doubt it

Ah yes, the one who pushed The Interview, and then tried to backpedal it when the hack happened

yeah she had a plan that was evident from the beginning

a stupid plan - history says

but she had a plan

Sony is likely mega pissed that a property that could have turned into a complete franchise is being set to bomb so fucking hard.

Even if the movie did make any profit, which is unlikely, there is no way that anyone would bother with a sequel that looks worse than a TV movie.

i think the worst part of all of this nonsense is how melissa mccarthy gets all the attention

kristen wiig has already shown she is capable of playing immensly well written characters

kate mckinnon doesnt really need a lot of encouragement seeing as she's blonde white blue eyed - she gets a privelege pass automatically.

but this fat bitch? she's not only caused four women in my life to attempt to drag me to see a shitty movie starring her, they thought "the boss" was fucking genius

i have no words

Melissa McCarthy is the only one of the bunch that has been the leading actor in several comedies so that she'd have a name considered profitable for comedies now.

She is essentially the chick flick comedy mega star at the moment. Which may not be that incredible a position to be in, but it's one that they're using to try and get someone to see this movie.

It's likely that the fact they're trying to push the other three women so hard is making it harder for them to get anyone to see this movie than if they solely had McCarthy doing the publicity tour.

I saw one and somewhere which was just the logo of the original movies. I hope this does not trick or sway ignorant people.

I think I heard a radio ad for this movie, for tires or some shit.

Melissa McCarthy looking to become the new Michelin Man?

...

I predict that they will still break a lot of imaginary records.
Those begin to be more and more difficult to invent though.
Maybe something like "highest Ghostbuster gross revenue in the first hour"

I think I've figured it out
they're hoping some angry autist will copy James Holmes or make a threat or something and give their shitty movie a huge PR boost at the last minute

She makes women feel good about themselves by being fat and unattractive.

Yeah, that was me. I meant to post those in another thread I was browsing.

the movie has negative hype. nobody pays money to see a movie in a theatre out of curiosity.

between netflix, torrents, and other streaming services it's made it so the ONLY people who see movies in theatres are either families or autists like us. people who are really, really excited about the movie. Nobody just pops into a theatre anymore, it's too expensive and there's too many options. You may see a lot of people watching it out of curiosity on Netflix down the road but opening weekends are dominated by Pixar, superhero shit, and whatever weird indie shit manages to get the interest of the creeps who actually give a shit about movies anymore.

somebody put Bill Murray out of his misery. I can't stand to see him suffer like this. ;_;

The new and old cast look especially uncomfortable promoting the movie though. Especially the blond chick. I just wonder if it's so bad that not even the actresses wanted to be involved halfway through the movie and they're just waiting for it to be released and hopefully forgotten.

I don't think it's up against anything that weekend. I think it might get first at the box office, which they will trumpet widely to say 'misoggies BTFO'

Consult your doctor, user.

It's perfectly normal. You just need to eat less transfats.

Kristen Wiig is atleast capable of being a funny or interesting character in other movies. That blond chick is decent in sketches and parodies.
A white knight inside me wants to give Kristen and Kate benefit of the doubt and hope they are being blackmailed like Bill when it comes to completing this travesty.
Mellissa just seems to be overly crude - like every character I've seen her play. It's all about how disgusting the body is, how fart and shit is so common so we should talk about it whenever and wherever because that's supposedly funny.
The black chick (if yuo can call her that) I haven't seen before, but every interview she seems to be overacting so god damn hard. Like actively trying to be the loudest person in the room, and she's not funny whatsoever

Except BvS is good.

...

...

So tell us, what part of sperm is the lumpy bit?

^The best part

What about it? Just don't see it, you idiot. This doesn't actually affect the world in any meaningful way.

I like kate, cutie

It's not segmented out, m80. It's the little yellow globs inside the clear jizz.

kill yourself

this is some shitty b8 m8, even milkposting was better.

SOUNDS GREAT

That's a rather sexist implication. None of the women I know are vapid enough to think genderswapping magically makes a soulless rehash worth watching.

See, that's the problem with dumbass feminists and this word. They use it so much it's lost all meaning. Misogynist is someone who hates women. Let me say that again: Someone who HATES women. Dislikes. No, not even dislikes, that's muddying the definition too, HATES women. A man being sexually attracted to a woman isn't that, it's fucking natural sexual attraction.

who is the hot blonde who hates being a part of that group?

The ants, most likely.

Well it's happened. This shitstorm is the top result when typing "Ghostbusters" in google.

You are correct, sir.

I'm sure that happened entirely organically.

...

If it wasn't for all the downvotes on the trailer, I would say it's a pretty good time for self termination. Anyone can just come up with the shittiest shit and get away by calling any criticism sexist and racist. No one will call them out during promotion. It's been repeated so much it just has to be true, right ?

Has anyone been compiling a complete list of celebrities/media outlets shilling the sexism narrative in spite of this film's obvious shittiness? It should probably be done so we all know who never to take seriously again.

Just google Ghostbusters and it'll give you a nice list

...

...

...

I continue to state my opinion that the black one is absolutely horrifying

...

desperate as fuck

archive.is/HEnCf

Looks like a shitty magicka ripoff to me.

Can't wait for those "gamers are mysoginerds" articles.

I can't believe they allowed this.

but they stand behind the women user, don't you see the two brave amazons charging in front?

Don't have any info on it, but it seems to be custom characters in a standalone game rather than direct adaptation of the movie.

As the guy who works at the movie theater, that is wrong. People pop in all the time. Now, given, my theater is built off of a mall, but theirs still a pretty high number of people who walk in not knowing what we have or when it starts.

Nothing comes out the weekend of, but it will be competing with The Secret Life of Pets second weekend, and the BFG's third. Plus, the next weekend Star Trek 3 and Ice Age 5 comes out, and a lot of people don't go to theaters every week. So people will be making a choice on what to see. Since this is clearly made for 2 year olds, I'm not as confident as you are about it being Number 1.

b-but the majority of gamers are really women! They'll buy the game right?

So basically, the only way this movie could have worse chances would be if it released at the same time as Star Wars Episode 8 and an Adam Sandler movie?

She's just a niggress, m8. They're indistinguishable from niggers from the neck up. The "black women" we usually see on screen are almost all mulattos or quadroons.

I don't know, bruh, I'd fuck some NatGeo titties tribe-woman.

Wasn't there a much better game where you could actually make a character to be the fift team member?

CHECKMATE, ATHEISTS.

...

...

Now THAT, kids, is what a jew looks like

you keep telling yourself that, jew-kun

He'll be singing a different tune once the movie fails

I predict as is the case with every female achievement that this movie will be a box office hit on a slow weekend, the triumph of mediocrity will be hailed as vindication in the entertainment press, reporters will look for records that were inevitably broken (like most successful female movie in 2.4 years) and oscars will be lavished upon the cast and crew for their strength and determination in the face of an overwhelming mysoginist public.

Basically they will all get trophies for showing up and the movie, having earned one dollar more than it cost to make, will be praised as a success.

...

I would not be so hasty to assume just yet. Sure the vocal sjws and sony employees includes paid advertisers are yelling and hollering and making a fuss. But I doubt people are going to be flocking to this movie. It will get people who have nothing to watch and go to the theaters to kill time. If it grabs anyone else, we will see.

When I went to see X Men in theaters the theater was packed. Trailer for this. Nobody laughed. Not once. Think I heard a chuckle at the kids taking a selfie with the ghost but that's it.

I think any attention it'll get is out of morbid curiosity.

Watch rotten tomatoes though. It'll probably be highly rated by critics lying out their ass

...

double double dubs double confim

they literally made a featurette about how the funniest person in the all female ghostbusters is the one guy

jesus christ

cancer

...

Pretty much this.

Buck up, spidey. Brexit happened. We are leaving the -stain universe.

...

Did you guys here the theme song with Fallout Boy and Missy Elliot? They've got to be making the movie bad on person in a tactic in their hatred marketing.

It was more even bad than it sounded on paper?

No, m8. There's no going back to the -stein universe. We're remaking the -stain universe in its image.

what the hell is wrong with these people
my sides

Here's hoping people waste their money on their third viewing of Finding Dory or some shit.

Isn't this the idiot who ran Fox into the ground, before he got fired?

Yes

I'm 24 and I'm mixed race, and I voted leave. This idea that only old white people wouldn't want the UK to be in the EU is inane at best.

If Fant4stic had an all female cast perpetrated by jews it would have.

Every female I know (including the ones who say they are insulted by it and it looks terrible) are 100% going to see it.

How many do you know?

You would be surprised how many liberal teachers I had that couldn't understand that me and my sister were siblings.
Liberals are some of the most racist people I've ever met.

I had something similar actually. I'm quite light, I have a younger brother who's quite dark. Some people would ask or even automatically assume that my brother was my half brother just because he was darker than me. This one black girl asserted that he was my half brother and I said 'No, he's my full brother' and even then she continued to assert that he was my half brother.

...

...

...

They just wanted the candy, user.

You simply cannot meme that.

Yep. It had all the original actors, too.

I found the Sony Marketing head.

This is for dropping us in a universe where memetic warfare is the norm!
