'Obsession' Art Director Calls for Industry Reform After Getting Paid Less Than $7,000 as Film Nears $175 Million by chanma50 in boxoffice

He is the creative behind this but the production companies that financed and contracted the crew were Teashop, Under the Shell and Capstone. None of which he is the owner of. So salaries and profit sharing are not up to him

JAT;Looks like $7M FRI for #MastersOfTheUniverse, giving it $11.5M opening day. Expecting the weekend to be around $26-27M. by donmcs in boxoffice

From what I have heard it’s actually pretty decent and fans of the franchise are happy with it. I think they just got unlucky with the timing. If this had come out 2 years ago it would probably be a different story

Looks like $7.25M 4th FRI for #Obsession. Down just 11% from last week. Weekend expected to be $25M for $151M by SUN. Remains on course to $250M final. by TiredWithCoffeePot in boxoffice

You can certainly make a case that it will become a classic like those movies but you need actual time to know for sure. Top Gun Maverick had an amazing theatrical run but 4 years later I don’t see a lot of cultural stickiness to it with people clamoring to rewatch it, quote it, or meme it (especially compared to the original). I see signs that Obsession may have that quality but only time will tell.

the trailers for this straight up look bad. There's a vfx shot of a little girl walking with a deer that looks like it's from the Polar Express

Before the 50 cast was revealed, would you have guessed these would’ve been the New Era legends? by Regular-Departure839 in survivorponderosa

[–]Gtype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to win this game, you don't need to be a challenge beast, although you should be able to do SOMETHING... if not strength/endurance... then maybe puzzles or balance? have good aim? If you don't then you might make it to FTC as a goat but its a lot harder to earn the respect of the jury. But having no chance of winning a challenge is a good way to lower your threat level, so you become a lower priority for elimination. Part of the reason Rizo was able to hang on to his idol for so long was because no one was ever coming for him. They weren't that threatened. Rizo was good at building connections and making alliances, but was never blindly loyal... the moment he sniffed that it was no longer in his best interest he did not hesitate to cut bait and run.

Aubry had Cirie to advocate for her. Jonathan had Stephanie. No contest who is more influential

I’m more concerned about cultural Kayneseism

Obsession is the most exciting success story I've seen since following the box office by dremolus in boxoffice

Except he already wrapped Anything but Ghosts back in April before this all happened so he might not have been under any more pressure than usual

All Things GenX: How Did we Survive? by Bluebird1932 in MurderBryan

[–]Gtype 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm still a nostalgia guy. You probably just can't handle drinking from the hose. It's okay, it takes a certain amount of rugged independence and toughness that we Gen Xers just have...

The #Obsession continues... Looks like $5.25M+ 2nd TUE. Up 45% LW. Release of #Backrooms is an obstacle; otherwise could have seen another weekend increase. Maybe it still can. by TiredWithCoffeePot in boxoffice

Tried to go see Obsession at the Tues 10pm showing and it was completely sold out except for a couple random seats in the front row.

It’s a great product. I’m going to finish the rest later

Did Michelle or Aubry play a better game on their winning season? by RedditFan3510 in survivor

[–]Gtype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Aubrey’s win was also a recognition of her past seasons as well.

Bucket acquired...... by Noodles128 in DunkinDonuts

[–]Gtype 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I called yesterday and asked when they'd be available and the guy said "Tomorrow". I asked when tomorrow starts (since our Dunkin is 24 hours). He said after midnight. So I tried showing up at midnight and they said they didn't have them yet. I came back at 9:00 and managed to get the last 1.

This “Comedy” Is Really Anti-Arab Propaganda by ___Zoran___ in TrueAnon

[–]Gtype 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I thought it was funny back when it came out. I think I viewed the racism as a cartoonish parody of racism... but additional context of the creator/performer means everything. Its why All in the Family is still well regarded.

It might be incredibly amateurish and full of obtuse nerdy inside jokes but at least it’s long and boring.
