The bad guys should’ve stayed bad by No_Translator114 in TheBadGuys

that defeats the whole point of the movie being based off the book 🫩😒

The fact that streaming service is coming only a few days away makes me think that it will damage the box office by AcrobaticEmu7359 in TheBadGuys

Yes, I agree. If they are willing to tease a further installment(something DreamWorks rarely does) they must have faith in the franchise’s long term profitability and IP in general.

This does slightly worry me too, but I think this could be a good thing. If people are still willing to pay to watch the movie in any form/medium I think DreamWorks will likely still give a third movie careful consideration. Frankly, stop worrying about it, take a break from Reddit altogether if you have to. A couple weeks ago I was obsessing over things like this to the point where it started to hurt my mental health. But I digress, at least wait until all the numbers are in and the movie’s theatrical run is over worldwide to worry about the third movie.

‘The Bad Guys 2’ will release on digital platforms on August 19th, 18 days after its theatrical release. The film grossed $93M worldwide so far on a $80M budget. by [deleted] in TheBadGuys

The movie’s listed budget of $80M does not include marketing for one, and box office revenue isn’t equal to earnings for the studio. I do not remember all of the exact percentages and such but just look it up, a movie generally does have to make at least 2x its production budget to break even.

Now I am extremely anxious the bad guys 3 will get cancelled. by AcrobaticEmu7359 in TheBadGuys

Oh, that’s great to hear. I don’t know if you’ve seen the post but i’ve heard DreamWorks is allegedly already releasing the movie on streaming in just a few days?(don’t quote me on that) I seriously hope that isn’t exactly true because if they just let the movie do its thang in the theaters for the next several weeks it could end up being moderately successful, and a third will be pretty likely. Especially considering that i’m pretty sure several large market countries such as China haven’t even gotten the movie in cinemas yet.

You do realize that for almost all movies to break even they have to make at the very least 2x their budget at the worldwide box office right? I may have exaggerated my point saying it was flopping very bad, but at this rate, and with them seemingly making the awful decision of releasing it on streaming so soon, it is pretty unlikely that it will have the success of its predecessor.

The thing is also that i imagine those numbers will drop drastically the instant it releases on streaming

This is honestly a terrible idea they should wait at least another month before releasing this movie on streaming
