  1. I’m not sure how streaming services determine the value of movies on their platform — but at 50M views in the first 4 days and a $100M comparative box office deficit that’s equivalent to

    $2/view or 715,000 annual Prime subscriptions

    The Rock has undeniable pull though — he’s rumored to be doing an A24 film next, which could activate audiences across the spectrum of movie goers

  2. How often have the Rocks movies flopped by this point? How does he still weild so much influence?

  4. The Rock gets paid $50M per film? That is insane.

    I use him as a barometer to know to NOT watch a paint by numbers, generic, utterly forgettable movie.

  5. A24 & Dust are doing the Lord’s work with movies. (Recently suggested Dust on YT…wow.)

  6. 50 million dollars??? Who do you think you kidnapped, Chelsea Clinton?

  7. Does anybody know where and when did The Brutalist actually release in? I can’t find a release date for my country, nor I can find it on streaming platforms or high seas.

    For such a highly acclaimed movie, it’s kinda weird that there is almost no form of major distribution.

  8. 100m on marketing and i haven’t seen a single ad or promo for the movie, it just showed up on prime video one day

  9. 50 million dollars??? Who do you think you kidnapped, Chelsea Clinton?

  10. It’s wild to see one of the worst movies I watched in 2024 (Red One) stack up against the best movie I saw in 2024 (I Saw The TV Glow) like that.

  11. Are those movie titles on the right? I’ve literally never heard of a single one.

  13. I’ve never even heard of queer and it had quite a large budget

  14. What makes this even funnier is that A24 is notoriously shit at marketing/distribution. Sing Sing made it to very few theaters and is getting a proper release now that people know it’s good from word of mouth.

  15. I can’t be the only one that thought red one was a hell of a lot more fun than expected.

    It’s no artistic movie to be sure, but it was still fun.

  16. Queer… oof! 4 million return on 50 million budget! 

  17. And this is with A24 seemingly unable to ever manage to wide-release a film nationwide with any kind of consistency.

    They make so many brilliant films and yet I struggle to find convenient places to see them in *Los Angeles* of all places.

  18. never herd of any of the other films… I guess that is why marketing works?

  19. How did Love Lies Bleeding have $25M budget? Great film but I’m a bit surprised it lost money at the box office.

  21. Man if that guy’s girlfriends library movie rental list looked like the right, I could excuse her poor handwriting.

  24. I’m sorry but that’s not beautiful data nor do I think what it’s trying to show is particularly insightful

  25. Said Xmas movie was horrible. I turned it off about 3/4 of the way through and just went to bed.

  26. I think it hurts more to see that A24 only had 4 movies not flop.

  27. I don’t watch movies or know much about them, but from a data-viewing perspective, I feel like the “total box office” numbers at the bottom of the chart should be more prominent. My first impression was that the A24 films did worse, thanks to all the red numbers on the right, and it took me a bit to actually compare the relative size of the numbers and then spot the totals.
