Again technicalities over the overall point. Try that with your boss. Really try it when you're $400 million short of expectations. You're a retard and you'd be fired immediately.

I'm good, but you seemed confused as to why I was being condescending to you. You have your answer.

You owe some numbers and a list if you want discussion.

Hellboy 3 is a great example.

Both movies were viewed as barely profitable in the BO, and made their money on DVD sales.

The timing for the third one was such that VOD was becoming mainstream, and DVD sales were no longer a sure thing. So it was deemed too risky and stagnated till it died.



But I’m not trying to make a treatise on the film industry here.

This is a thread on Solo. And the question was why you think it has earned a profit for Disney already.

Tell your boss that $101 million - $75 million is $8 million, and you're sure the rest is just a technicality because you don't know how a calendar works.

You: "Duurrrr, this guy was off by 6 million!"
Boss: "You were off by 450 million."
You: "This one guy said a weekend was three days, so he's the retard. It's his fault."

So now 101 - 75 - 6 = 8

You're at least getting closer.

So YOU make a point.

And to get you to back up the point, the OTHER side needs to make a fully annotated case containing all kinds of examples from other movies.


And I’m sure when given that list, you won’t try to dissect it and throw the conversation even more off course, right? You’ll get right to explaining your superficially absurd statement, right.

Surrrre Wilbur.

And I find it cute that you are asserting I haven’t been throwing down numbers. That the fact that the numbers and percentages didn’t add up with your statement.

Yeah, frick you. I started interested to hear a different POV, but you aren’t worth conversing with if a simple discussion is like pulling teeth.

Buh-bye.

EDIT: Prediction confirmed

I don't have to explain the difference between Star Wars and Hellboy 3, do I?

Do you really think I'm going to put forth an exorbitant (I know you don't know the meaning of that word, but try to follow me) amount of effort on this with a retard like you? No, I don't need to waste my brain power with you and just put a generalization in front of you. Granted there's no way you have a college education, and if you do, that's an insult to the college.

And granted I wouldn't be surprised if you went to Junior College, but that's high school with ashtrays and doesn't count. You should have been a welder instead.

Exorbitant brain power? For that?

I feel a little bad now...

Speaking of education, where did you go to school? It's in Mississippi, isn't it?

If I didn’t, you did.

Let me condense the sequence from earlier, because you let yourself get distracted with language.

“This movie is profitable already.”
“How? You are 170 million short of the mini. Are you saying they already made that in non box office?”
“No.”

Nope. But apparently I DO have to explain why it is stupid to refuse to explain how the numbers match up unless someone brings up other movies into the discussion.

In case you forgot, that movie was brought up at your expilicit request because I didn’t feel it relevant to the base argument.

No matter what I brought up, you could have made the same dismissive retort. Excluding a bare handful of IPs. The train of thought was for the industry as a whole. Which SW is not the baseline for. SW IS ITS OWN FAN CATAGORY, WHICH IS WHY ITS DO DAMNING TO FALL BEHIND PREDICTIONS.

In any case, now I AM being derogatory: you are an idiot.

If you want to prove me wrong, go ahead and upvote one of your posts on this page that already has one. I won't judge you for that. You've got one minute.
