You think Sony will ever admit Ghostbusters was a flop and everyone involved will look back and apologize or laugh at the idea of defending this movie?

They will find some frame of reference using occult jap jew math convergence to declare it a success

You tell me user.
I actually predict Amy Pascal will double down and do everything within her power to force a sequel even though the gross income doesn't make it viable.
She'll probably hve to sacrifice Paul Feig as the scapegoat to make it work though.

She won't. They're not that stupid.

Do Americans ever admit they fucked up?

No, seeing most of the people responsible for this turd lose their jobs or otherwise have their careers harmed will be the tacit admission of defeat

Shortly after GhostJUSTers was released, Sony Japan executives flew to the American branch and started firing people left and right.

I'm not sure Amy Pascal can convince Tojo to fund more propaganda

What power does she have anymore though? I thought she quit, I doubt Sony will listen to someone who tried to force a cinematic universe from a fucking ghostbusters reboot.


I don't even think they can now, it's so polarizing already and it hasn't even broke even.

Maybe if it becomes an ironic cult hit

Showgirls was always good. It just didn't get the box office success it warranted. Smarter than most movies that came out of the 90s, has hotter scenes than most smut Rated R scenes, has memorable dialogue and an unforgettable cast - name a better movie than Showgirls that set out to do the same things.

It could have been viable in the hands of someone that didn't see it as a vehicle to push fucking feminism.

They were developing a male-driven reboot on the sidelines presumably to save face

After the new Ghostbusters, what are the odds people will even bother seeing it? Like even if the reboot we have now was filled with dudes, people would argue it shat on the original film and it's basically not worth watching.

As what? A fucking apology?

Was this still the plan even after there was a massive smear campaign against people who thought the movie looked like ass?

Nope, at least not publically, officially, and not for at least another decade if it ever happens.

do you have any proof OP? All I can find is that they got to pic related

this is the first thing that comes to mind

well that explains it

Aww, thats nice. I really hope he learned that lesson.

its about right. if you take the full worldwide gross up through friday and expect another 10 million over the weekend

the-numbers.com/movie/Ghostbusters-(2016)#tab=box-office

the writing had little to do with its failure. you cant make a cartoon into live action, the people who like cartoons wont stand for it and the audience for live action thinks cartoons are for retards

It's funny to think Amy Pascal's replacement only slashed the budget by a million

Forced out as a lead executive after the hack, golden parachuted into a producer deal

This. You will know a movie bombed not by any direct statements, but by complete silence. The standard Hollywood response is not to take responsibility and vow to try better next time, it's to quietly sweep it under the rug and hope everyone forgets it.

Can you think of any box office bombs that were actually acknowledged as such? Even when Josh Trank sperged out about how bad Fantfourstic was, he explicitly said it was the studio's fault (i.e. someone else's) and not his own. Likewise, the studio and all the main cast quietly exiled it to the dustbin of the industry while trying to limp away with what little dignity they have left. Hell, master race baiter nigger Human Torch still has studios trying to shove him in people's faces via casting him in the Black Panther movie in an attempt to make people forget that he's box office poison and a shit actor who was at the heart of what made a goddawful career ending dud of a movie such a shitshow.

It helps if you don't ignore very basic facts about what you are making the movie about, too, like just about all of it.

I feel Melissa and Kristen should have wrote a script around the plot points. I'm not saying they are fucking hilarious, but it's just bad movie making to turn on the cameras and say to improv 75% of the script.

The opening was really strong and I loved the ghostbusting, but other than that the movie was pretty bland and unfunny.

That might be hard to do if you're the captain of an entire sinking ship

Got the story for this?

I thought the consensus was that it was a fun film?

Never watched it.

Its restructuring and layoffs have gone back to 2014. Nothing- or very little to do with ghostbusters but that doesn't stop clickbait articles and idiots who don't read good

nypost.com/2016/07/20/sony-zaps-jobs-following-poor-results-in-us/

Nope, because it is the highest grossing horror comedy with an all female cast. It is objectively a success when compared to all other horror comedies with an all female cast.

Haters BTFO

...

He's right!
Looks like gamergate loses again :P

GAYMERS ON SUICIDE WATCH

lol no

A shame that Saved by the Bell chick never got anywhere.

>These women are not that stupid.

But it was a viral sensation. It generated buzz. This is all important.

It was 300 million. Stop damage controlling.

Gamer goobers lose again XD

I just want to see that hooknose schlomo tell us all how the negative controversy helped again.

116 Million domestic. With the rest of the World it adds up to 179 of which the Britbongs and Ausfags make up the most because they always ruin everything.

It was an abomination that should be erased out of existence.

Meanwhile, in Germany…

Didn't I told you Suicide Squad would be the summer surprise hit?

Let's just recap…

In the wake of Cisbusters, the following things have happened:


The questions for me are, who's going to be the first to outright apologize, does the Ghostbusters franchise ever have a genuine chance of recovery, and how long do you think the NDAs the cast were forced to sign will last?

I dont know about that one, she was invited to do commentary for the Olympics recently. People will virtue signal no matter what it seems

It's almost like people can pinpoint when the action jumps from "rehearsed script" and "planned shots" to "clumsy, awkward dialogue" and "alternating reaction shots with zero pacing."

GaymerGays shitlords need to man up and be He 4 She!

How is she still even allowed within 100 feet of a movie studio? Surely - to christ - after this flop, her well-known intentions to replace Spider-Man (the most marketable superhero in existence) with Spider-Woman (literally fucking who) should have had Sony send over a paramilitary ninja team to abduct and detain her indefinitely?

No fam. Not even close. They are the pigeons playing chess. In their twisted minds, they won, they defeated the misogynist geek dudebros.

This movie marks for them the beginning of the end of the long reign of the white cishet patriarchy and the shows the way for new movies, full of diversity, that cater to new, more tolerant and progressive audiences.

Those evil dudebros scoundrels of Glippity Gloppity-gloop, when are they going to learn?

Watch it and you realize your statement about that movie being fun is false

Get the fuck out

They still sell that thing or is it already sold out?

...

of course it is, but better that this piece of shit and also it will demonstrate that """""""Critics"""""" are Disney and Sony bitches and WB never should have considered Hack Snyder as a the one in charge of their capeshit universe.

fukken capped

That started a long time before Cisbusters you nigger.


Those were fired in april you fucking hack.

Hard to tell, but there is still a site

Have SJWs started attacking Sony for "ruining feminism's chance to bloom" yet?

care to back that up?

Not that user but i made a handy picture with subtle markers for people like you who are to inept to read.

...

lol those stupid gargle gaflorpers don't know what hit them

It would be the San Francisco branch and they would all be gay. The last boss would be a giant dick that splurts green jizz everywhere and they have to defeat it by crashing it into some large trap that looks like a butt.

High chance of it being: no one ever.
Stranger things have happened. Maybe under a different studio, different cast, different director, different almost everybody.
Possibly a decade or longer.

How much is she getting paid for that? What films is she lined up to appear in and are they likely to make profit? There are countless people who got a brief period of fame and then disappeared. She is just another disposable click bait generator in my opinion. Very few people want to see her in films. She is too unappealing and lacks talent.

No. One of the actors is dead, Akroyd and Hudson called any fans who didn't like the reboot sexist, and if Bill Murray's soul wasn't already dead it is now. Maybe 30 years from now some small studio who won the rights to Ghostbusters after all the other studios picked Sony's corpse clean will release some paraphernalia to bank on nostalgia of 90 year olds who still have access to their credit cards.

The franchise was already dead and buried, user.
This was only done because Amy Pascal reminded the board that Sony is really running out of franchises and tricked them into believing she's the perfect woman to revive it.

Hmmmm

Looking back on McCarthy's past work, it's probably safe to say that she and Paul Fag usually would just do a lot of improv for their movies so there wasn't a lot of work involved in coming up with jokes as they were mostly aiming to entertain themselves.

When they went onto a big budget project it probably never occurred to them to change their production style as they'd been the big fish in the little pond that is chick flicks.

It's true they don't understand this was a major loss for them, but the people in charge of investing probably have taken some notice.

You can tell that some people at Sony knew how fucked up this marketing campaign was with the actresses and Paul Fag because of how they tried backing out of the super liberal campaigning on Ellen (taking three of the women out before they might've aired alongside Hilldog), trying to pretend the twitter account referring to Hillary's campaign was a mistake, and trying to make the trailers look 'dark', as well as the constant attempts to relate people to the previous movie instead of letting the reboot stand on its own.

They scrambled a good bit to make it not sound so atrocious to the shitlords.

Suicide Squad doing well by selling T&A, bro-types (Will Smith), and mindless action, has to be showing some of these executives what it is they're needing to strive for. They tried doing some reshoots after realizing a more light hearted atmosphere would work after Deadpool was released, so there's probably going to be more movies done along that vein.

Not that i want to defend Cisbusters but is a lowbrow shitty movie like SS really what we want though?
Frankly i'm fine with some middle ground like Fury Road which panders to both sides and is still well executed.

archive.is/17AUP

No, not yet. They are busy attacking Suicide Squad

did you even read the article?

Apparently you don't. Fembusters just was the cherry on top of the cake.

Yes.

They sold it on decent ideas even if it wasn't executed all that fantastically and it showed that if you want to make more money that you don't do things the way Cisbusters did.

Let's not pretend SS is some wonderful right-wing superhero film.

-Rainbow coalition multi-cultural cast.
-Main character is a white guy raceswapped to be black.
-All the "T&A" is played by flat actresses.
-Ghetto wigger Joker
-Shits all over the source material.

I'm glad it's succeeding in spite of the SJW reviewers trashing it, but it's honestly the same garbage.

Reminder that Suicide Squad actually was more expensive in production than Cisbusters, and about equal or only slightly cheaper if you add up marketing and distribution,and is already dropping harshly despite being still far from the break-even point.

I'm not hating Suicide Squad and i definitely don't like Cisbusters but i noticed a recent trend here on Holla Forums that some anons desperately pretend that Suicide Squad was a success, which it really wasn't. But at least it wasn't a complete disaster like Cisbuster so there's that.

it goes like this-
reporter thinks "im resurrecting months old news to spin it for a new angle that will generate clicks and commentss because of the current contrived controversy"

reporter calls 20 random people involved in sony usa no matter how inconsequential or uninvolved in the production, asks all of them about ghostbusters

strikes gold when an intern answers the phone

reporter: so these layoffs, how are they related to ghostbusters?
intern: well it would have helped if it got off to a good box office start

boom - reporter gets anonymous quote successfully seeding the story he wants to tell

GB2016 is the gift that keeps on giving.

Nope. Lego Dimensions is even trying to shill their ass as the next big addition to their shitty online game. "WOW OMGZ ITS THE (((NEW))) GHOSTBUSTERS WITH SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!!!" Yeah… Lego and Sonic are gonna save your ass… Totally.

And that's what makes you a useful idiot.

At least GB16 Legos were an actual thing. Sonic just seems like an attempt to avoid going extinct like Disney Infinity

Saved.

GAMERGATE WINS AGAIN

stop posting gay porn here without spoilers

What kind of bizarro world is this? Every single nigger I have ever known loved that shit. When I was in the army and when I was in jail I made friends with niggers because we could talk about shitty shonen series. Chiefly DBZ

...

Can I be FUCKING real for a second?

This community is fucking atrocious right now. You're all acting like a bunch of whiny, entitled little babies.

A tiny team of people made an entire progressive comedy for you to watch. They made it for YOU, and they're going to wake up tomorrow morning and see that instead of enjoying it, this community of "fans" picked out the 3 or 4 things that weren't perfect and are using that to fucking riot.

Guess what? The movie was never going to be perfect. It was never going to live up to your hype. It was never going to be everything you'd ever want in a movie.

What it WAS going to be was an impossibly big cinematic universe filled with mysteries and weird shit. I just watched it for 2 hours and it was exactly that. What more do you want?

Is it feminist pandering? Sure. Is it unfunny? Maybe. Is the pacing imperfect and the plot consistency questionable and the character motives unclear? Sure, fine.

But holy shit what do these people OWE YOU?

How fucking entitled do you have to be to watch the highest grossing horror comedy with an all female cast and then say "yeah but…"

We should all be fucking weeping in our chairs right now at the sheer size and scale of the achievement. We should be showering the people behind this thing with the praise they deserve for pulling off one of the most inspiring films in recent memory.

Sony Pictures doesn't owe you a laugh. Yet they gave you 18 QUINTILLION of them.

If you have the fucking audacity to complain about it then you don't deserve it and you were never fans in the first place.

no

DAILY REMINDER AMY PASCAL DOESN'T WORK FOR SONY ANYMORE.
REPEAT, AMY PASCAL IS NO LONGER AT SONY AND HASN'T BEEN FOR SOME TIME
SHE ONLY WORKED ON GHOSTBUSTERS BECAUSE OF CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS MADE BEFORE HER TERMINATION, SHE'S NO LONGER A PART OF THE STUDIO
SHE LEFT BECAUSE OF THE FUCKERY SHE GOT BUSTED FOR SAYING DURING THE EMAIL HACKS.

Let's laugh at that part. Amy Pascal delivers this turd of a movie right before her exit. She will forever be remembered at Sony as the girl who rips a fart in the elevator just before leaving.

I wonder if Sony is still going to let her do that Zoe Quinn movie since she started that before leaving as well.

Kek, who am I kidding, we all know the answer is fuck no!

...

What is that, a movie title? What did you do motherfucker?

She owns a production company. So long as she can procure financing Sony will let her make whatever shit she wants. It's her Golden Parachute

She's also big in the Producers Guild of America. That bitch has real pull which is probably why she got away with her incompetence in the first place for so long.

She's still actively fucking up Spider-Man: Homecoming.

The latest reveal is that Flash Thompson is being played by the guy with the faggy hair in this image. That's Peter's fucking bully.

Are you fucking serious? Hes smaller than Peter.

How is that a reaveal considering he was already playing Spiderman in Civil War? Are you drunk?

Are you?

I actually am, yes.

…Flash Thompson was not in Civil War, Spider-Man was. Spider-Man is named Peter Parker.

Flash Thompson is the name of his high school bully who most recently has had a popular run as Agent Venom. He picked on Peter before he got his powers, and resented him for being stronger than him all of a sudden, but was a huge fan of Spider-Man never knowing they were the same person. Eventually he becomes good friends with Peter. In the comics, he's always been white and blonde.

In the new movie, he's played by the guy who was the bellhop in The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Read this when you're sober.

Why is 80% of the cast Filipino?
