re: Go Woke, Go Broke: Space Jam poised to lose >$100 million

1. HBO Max is a flat subscription. You don’t get “grosses” on Space Jam from it.
Black Widow was different because that was a $30 add-on to Disney Plus.
2. I’ve already explained movie math up thread. Movies typically make their highest gross in week 1 then decline by 25-30% or more week to week.
If grosses hold up or increase after week 1, they can break even. But this isn’t Sixth Sense or Titanic, which were extremely rare in their ability to hold up or increase over time.

I actually couldn't find a link that they are blocking space jam 2.
Apparenlty they are blocking space jam 1 because it mixed animation and people (weird).
Can someone provide a link?
BTW Black Panther was very successful in China
Black Panther hits $100m in China

Because literally no one cares about a new Space Jam movie. I heard it did well at the box office despite also being released on HBO Max so I’m not sure what this big loss thing is all about.

It’s already done $50M. It’s not going to lose money.

The CCP doesn't really like blacks and barely tolerates whites. Hell, they barely tolerate their own citizens... correction, they don't tolerate their citizens.

Assuming week 1 was $30m in grosses and a normal 25% drop off per week-
4 week gross should be $82m ($30m + $22.5m + $16.9m + $12.7m)
You take the same rate out to about 25 weeks and you still only reach $119m.
Unless there are openings in additional markets (China) with huge grosses, this isn’t making its money back until home video, and that may still take a while.

Doesn't James' "Jam" do the same?

Thanks. I stand corrected on the matter of Chinese cinema and race.

I don't think you know how math and movies work.

I watched 20 minutes and then left. Bad movie. Poor imitation of original.
Is it an all black cast?
Cartoon voices not very good at all.

On a serious note, I thought Lebron was China and Xi's bitch, both of these things seem incompatible.

That’s what they get for putting an overrated , loud mouth , racist , brain dead moron as the star .
Posted on 7/21/21 at 11:09 am to anc
But it'll be huge in china.

can't say for certain, but I believe it may be because James, the film's star, is black.
I know that many Chinese versions of movie posters for American flicks have cropped-out black cast members.
Oh look. Actual racism.

This has nothing to do with being "woke.'

Will that cuck LeBron cry racism because of this?

It was only 100mill budget.. already made over 50million opening weekend (and thats with it being free on hbo) they have made more opening weekend than anticipated.
