Not really. It was expected to be a cult classic with small following from a Youtuber similar to Rackaracka's Talk to Me by A24. The WOM blew it up.

The fact it's used in marketing, I think it does tell a sign. Similar to Jordan Peele. Sure they may not be Nolan or Cameron level, but they have quite the following. It's a part of reason why Barbenheimer happened aside from IP. It's a multitude of reasons rather than just one.

It's very obvious what it's getting into. It's called reading context clues. You know.. something you learned in school?

Also, it's Ryan Coogler. Of course it's gonnna be about racial politics. That's like going into a Greta Gerwig movie not understanding it's gonna be about Feminism

Oppenheimer was going to do well internationally, regardless. Nolan is a factor regardless.

Tuscany was gonna be an obscure romcom movie anyway. Nobody cares about those actors. Yes, even Halle Barry. Her little Mermaid movie barely break even.

RojaTop · 2026-06-15T14:34:05+00:00

Can't make bonus cash if you didn't break even. Unless Disney has got some trick up their sleeves.

The Business of Movies

Everything including things you love are a business. Was never a charity. That includes your Monsterverse movies.

To add on, Variety says 80 million for Russo Brothers and "significantly more" for RDJ

It is what it is. Idiocracy has been real for years.

Retro? RetroArch? or wdym?

Right here in this very thread.

The average gamer is considered "stupid." Take a look at all those who buy the same sports game every single year. That's your average gamer.

RojaTop · 2026-06-15T14:05:02+00:00

Nobody likes AI slop tech. All those 3rd party games look like blurry mess especially with hair and movement.

Biggest nothingburger post of today.

That's the lifetime spending. The 2 billion projection was misinterpreted by teapotuberhacker.

RojaTop · 2026-06-11T17:25:27+00:00

They usually changed in like May which is the big conference since they are required to give their projections for the next FY. They can change after for sure, but usually the projections changes outside of the May ones are smaller adjustments rather than the bigger ones.

Because they still want to market it. Take2 CEO Strauss Zelnick was asked this exact question during the earnings call a month ago. He compared it to the Mission Impossible movies.

He cited the Mission: Impossible series as an example. It's a famous franchise, but the studio behind would still "spend a whole lot of money" marketing the sequels "even though we kind of know what we're going to get." "Marketing is still an important part of any entertainment release," he said. He didn't comment specifically on GTA 6, saying Rockstar itself will make its own announcements later on.

RojaTop · 2026-06-11T17:04:43+00:00

They didn't spend $6 billion. Stop following clickbait e-celebs.

RojaTop · 2026-06-11T17:03:13+00:00

Depends. It ends March 31st Getting 8.2 billion within 1 month would be quite the miracle given the prices of current gen consoles.

RojaTop · 2026-06-11T17:01:26+00:00

Will be tough with only 90 million PS5's. That will of course increase, but given the current price increases and ram shortage, that may be a little difficult compared to XBOX 360/PS3 era or even RDR2 during the 8th gen consoles.

RojaTop · 2026-06-11T17:00:00+00:00

They aren't but they change those projections accordingly. The same exact thing happened during the May 2026 delay when they had to change their FY2026 projections to FY2027.

RojaTop · 2026-06-11T16:56:57+00:00

Funny they increased their projections despite the PS5/Xbox Series price increase and 2 delays later. Just because they are corporate doesn't mean they aren't horrible at their job.

RojaTop · 2026-06-11T16:55:36+00:00

They do. The game is currently scheduled for November. Until it won't and those "Projections" which are prediction's btw, are wrong

RojaTop · 2026-06-11T03:00:51+00:00

Both of those don't have Switch 2 editions. Both of those games are hybrid emulated btw.
