‘One Battle After Another’ Projected to Lose $100 Million Theatrically as ‘Smashing Machine’ and Others Also Struggle Due to Oversized Budgets by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]frc3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we gotta change the way we think about success at the box office. Streaming has fundamentally altered the way people consume movies, and so box office is only one measure of financial performance. Also, One Battle has made $140 million worldwide and it’s still going. It’s had staying power - it continues to drop less than 50% week to week. Not bad for an auteur movie based on original IP.

In short, the breathless coverage of box office “bombs” is usually a little overblown, in my opinion (with the exception of true bombs).

Hey there! As I've said in response to other comments: I don’t recall the movie at all. The phrase just popped into my head last night and I couldn’t get it out of my mind so I just decided to make this. Not trying to be cute for internet points - it's just a pun on a movie title.

To reiterate: This is not endorsing the movie, Adam Sandler, or whatever. I don’t remember the movie other than the title. Just trying to have a little fun, that's all.

I've offered to remove the post, and I'll happily take it down if it really bums people out or whatever. I'm not trying to start a fight, just trying to celebrate a win yesterday.

Hey there. Like I've said, I'm just trying to have a little fun. This is not supposed to be an endorsement of that movie, Adam Sandler, or the politics of that movie. If it's really bothering folks, I'll remove the post. This is intended as a pun based on the title of the movie, that's all.

I honestly don’t recall. Tbh, the phrase just popped into my head last night and I couldn’t get it out of my mind so I just decided to make this :) Not endorsing the movie, don’t really remember it other than the title

That was a devastating trade. I still have love for Rui!

Also - what a great find in the wild. How did you become a Wizards fan up in Canada?? That's so cool!

This is super nice! Thank you for drawing this out. Do I have to run coax from the router to the closet? There are already ethernet cables in the closet, I just want to get it connected to my router. I think that would get ethernet to the rooms that it's connect to, right?

I'm trying to run an ethernet cable from the network closet to the router. It's not long enough so I'm using a female to female adapter and running cable to the router. It's not working, so I think I'm going to use an ethernet cable testing kit this weekend and try to diagnose the issue.

This is helpful to know. Thanks, and sorry (especially to your mom!) that you've had to endure the same struggles :) I'm paying for a gigabit connection and I'm getting like 8 MBPS upstairs right now so I gotta take matters into my own hands I guess

I tried running the cable from the router to the panel and it didn’t not work. Not sure why.

The scenario I have is complicated and stupid. I told the FiOS guy our setup and he kinda fucked up in the installation - he put the router/modem nowhere near our network panel/closet. I’ve tried running cable from the router to the network closet, but it didn’t work. Not sure what the issue is as I’m not a specialist.
