#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 GOTG overtakes Cap2 as biggest money maker of the year. Probably until Hunger Games 10 comes out.Wasnt Transformers 4 the biggest moneymaker of the year? It's the only film to break the 1 billion mark.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I never understood that opinion. Ofcourse it counts.If it counts in the global economy how much Cola Cola, or Apple, or Shell makes world wide why should it be different for movie studios?

A24 4,327 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I don't think that counts any longer. 'Worldwide' often means 3 or 4 times the domestic gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Because Americans are the target audience. And studios don't get as much of a share from foreign grosses as they do from US grosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 So?That doesnt mean they don't make a profit from the foreign grosses.Also, does Hollywood really only made movies for Americans?They cut a whole different version of Iron Man 3, just for the Chinese market, which is huge.Another example. The Adventures of Tintin didnt do well in the US, but made a profit because it was popular in the rest of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,327 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Last week, when we were talking about Air Force One, we established that Americans aren't the sole target audience anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 The Chinese market is becoming more important, but American grosses give a more accurate view of the film's popularity. Some films bomb in America but do rather well overseas, but that makes a sequel risky business. Are they still going to make Tin Tin 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Measuring the grosses never seemed like a very accurate way to gauge a film spopularity IMO. Don't cinema's charge different prices, sometimes at different times, even in the US.Greater accuracy would be achieved by listing the amount of people who saw the movie during it's cinema run.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Yeah but they don't do that even though they should. But the number of people in attendance doesn't have that cool looking $ sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 But it's totally inaccurate.If a film makes 1 billion, that means 1 billion in ticket sales, right? That doesnt mean the studio earned 1 billion from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,327 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 They always talk about 'gross', not 'net'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 So basically the figure is meaningless in determining how much the studio actually earned. It just sounds like a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 That's why so many big films are under pressure to "break even" in the domestic gross. If it's revenue doubles its budget, it's a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make sense for Drax to call Gamora a whore.If that's your biggest gripe with the film, then I think Gunn did a pretty good job!There's actual gripes, but it's probably my favourite one of the Marvel films so far. Despite the villain and some odd solutions.Is she back? It'd be nice if that was the case!I don't know what I'm doing. This is all spontaneous.

Agreed. It's far from a flawless film (and the villain is probably the major flaw, as many pointed out), but it's still my favourite Marvel film to date.Thank you.It's nice to have the Chaac back!
