From what I read on a Twitter thread giving updates on the movie, the total budget was about $5000 (production + whatever was needed to publish it). The latest prediction from the box office was about $30,000,000 in revenue by the end of the movie’s running.
Hey, Sony. Try Morbius again. It’ll be great. Promise.
It’s sure to make 10 morbillion dollars this time :3
It’s Morphin time!
I’m hoping for a Power Rangers reboot, but with all the rangers played by either Jared Leto or Nicholas Cage.
Christopher Walken as Zordon
With Tommy Wiseau as thr friend/mentor of that robot guy that pushed the button to make Zordon appear. Tommy writes his own parts, which we only catch glimpses of as that robot transitions in and out of shots, plus weird interactions with the rangers like complimenting how their suit looks today or giving them strange gifts that oddly end up useful for the plot after awkwardly being in the way until then.
I am a married man. Please stop trying to seduce me.
I read that in Christopher Walkens voice.
I am too. So is this the start of a shitty bromance?
Who said it needs to be shitty? 😉
Definitely cast the rapist again, that will help
I have a feeling this is just gonna cause a bunch of shitty movies getting made.
You say that like this is the first movie that gained a following because it was so bad it overflowed to being good. But that’s a hard line to walk deliberately without drifting into satire territory (which is just making fun of something else by mimicking it) or self-parody (making fun of yourself), which are different because the makers are in on the joke. “So bad it’s good” only works when they aren’t in on the joke because part of the humour is that someone genuinely thought it was good. It *can" be faked, but it’s difficult since most makers want to be in on the joke rather than the butt of it and won’t be able to help giving little winks to the audience that ruin it. Or they don’t know how to be entertainingly bad and just make something that isn’t interesting.
I am not saying it is the first of it’s kind, but it is one of the most successful ones. And I am saying that people will try to force a replica of this success with absolute trash.
good
flood the entire movie industry with garbage because those billionaires already make nothing but garbage as it is
I’d rather give money to someone’s mom for trash, then those fucking worthless fucks they call ceos and shareholders
Same reason why the Killer Bean movie is surprisingly watchable. You think you’re just going to just watch a bad movie, but the amateur skill and heart on display trumps Hollywood 4x
this is different from now how ?
The bad films of now aren’t actively trying to be purposefully bad. The new wave will be purposefully terrible movies, with each decision being calculated rather than being organically terrible.
Kinda like a little kid drawing something compared to a fully grown adult professional artist trying to emulate the drawing.
Thanks, that was my point exactly
Shitty movies get made all the time. A better question is how this got such a wide distribution
Where have you been the past ten years with reboots and sequels? The only difference here is budget.
As opposed to the current crop of excellent movies…?
Hot take incoming;
I’m totally ok with that.
I despise CGI in films, but would be more interested in watching this than another Hollywood “blockbuster”
CGI is still art. CGI != AI
How can you despise CGI as a whole? Or are you saying you don’t like any animated films?
I have a friend that hates anime. I recently pressed him about it and it turns out that anime = all things animated and cartoons and CGI.
I suggested that it was a Boomer problem and that ended the conversation altogether.
There are lots of animated movies that don’t use CGI.
I didn’t say they all used CGI. I was trying to figure out what they meant.
Just wait until Disney buys the rights.
I’m holding out for the live action remake.
Pulls off Disney live action remake’s mask More CGI, just tuned for photorealism instead of cartoony.
Honestly it’s pretty cool that something with such a small budget can get screen time in a theater
It wouldn’t be that small if you counted their labor, but still like 50 to 100k budget.
Looks like utter trash, but like the good kind of trash. I want to watch it
Was it AI generated?
from what I’ve read about it: No its not AI - it took years to make using Sketchup + Blender. Kid had an idea, mother had means to make it happen and a connection in the industry to get it into some theaters. It looks terrible, but the memery has led to its success.
From what I’ve heard, being not AI generated was part of why it became popular, something along the lines of “at least they were willing to make bad looking art themselves instead of having a machine do it for them” or such. This just based on posts about it in my mastodon feed tho as I’m not on any Chinese social medias, so take that with a grain of salt.
nah, I’d trust mom and son over any executive anyway.
visual garbage or not, it’s got love behind that powered it… unlike the ceo trash that has clear greed driven trash
With all due respect, if this movie is your gauge, an executive is a hell of a lot more trustworthy on what makes a good movie. And that is not a compliment to the executives.
I’d go see it in theaters for the same reason everyone else is but no one thinks this is actually good. Everything about it is bad and not in a charming way.
You can watch a subtitled fancam on YouTube. I only made it through 15 minutes or so then skipped around. It’s very hard to watch lol
seems like a case of very bad animation done at the exact right time
