Nolan's The Odyssey - Potentially could be epic or an epic flop.

[Super Guido]

As I've said before, Nolan's Zulu would be considered a masterpiece, make a billion dollars easily, be a mostly sub-Saharan African cast, and be subversive because British Man Bad.

The video you posted isn't available, for some reason. ETA: Looks like it's behaving now.

Also it's hilarious to see journos claim this movie is a box office success when it hasn't broken even yet. It'd need to make around 350m to be at that point, and it's about 100m short. I think it might break even, but it certainly won't be the roaring success they're claiming.

 

[Lapsus of the bepsus]

Still, odd to see pretty much everyone praising it as "truly great Nolan movie" as good as or even better then Oppenheimer.

theres your issue, oppenheimer was a slogging 3 hour long group masturbation session to white self hatred, you can just ignore anyone calling that pretentious pile of shit good let alone using it as a benchmark for any other movie. that basically means every single movie "critic."

I own the original translation in book form and I've seen adaptations from both the 60s and 90s.

There's zero incentive for me to watch this or support it.

I might have watched it ironically in like a year or so on some streaming service if the pooner was in the entire movie and was doing comically woke quadruple backflips and btfoing a small army of men but from what I've heard it's mostly just boring and not even worth laughing at.

Where does that number come from, exactly?

Something like The Little Mermaid had a lower budget and nearly a $750 million break even point.

Except no one is interested in a movie about niggers

So Nolan shoved niggers into Odyssey where they absolutely do not belong and don't even look good.

 

[ilovecornsyrup]

So far almost all the critics are saying it's a pretty damn good movie.

I am surprised as I didn't enjoy it myself but maybe I went into it prejudiced? Still, odd to see pretty much everyone praising it as "truly great Nolan movie" as good as or even better then Oppenheimer.

Color me surprised.

Oppenheimer was one of his worst movies. The Odyssey is def better than Oppenheimer, Tenet, IMO Interstellar too but I thought the latter was shit.

You aren't factoring in the theater's cut. It needs to more than double that number.

 

[Incecticyder]

War elephants probably had their share.

But enough about Rosie O' Donnell.

Yeah it's an extremely generous (and admittedly inaccurate) estimate, since we don't have those numbers.

Either way, it's nowhere close to being the success these goobers are claiming it is.

Wow I can't believe we got Ridley Scott's Napoleon 2

Not to mention there is no way that $125 million is all they spent marketing this thing, they are flying the cast and a fpur ton horse all over the world.

That $250 million also doesn't cover Nolan or any of the other actors' pay, so add at least another $50 million to cover that.

Still on the low end with the theaters getting their cut(and btw IMax theaters take another 15% on top of that so the studio only take home 35% of an Imax ticket sale)and the lowest this movie needs to gross to break even is $800 million, with $1 billion being the high end.

Nolan’s retarded ass: let’s cut all of their singing but have Travis Scott

Looool

A lot of films this size off set their insane budgets with product placement, that is how Warner Brothers made bank on Man of Steel.

I am trying to figure out what kind of product placement this film could have had.

Trojan brand condoms maybe???

The more I learn about how the box office works, the funnier this gets.

GUIZE IT'S DOING SUPER DUPER WELL IN THEATERS! WE'RE OWNING THE CHUDS, GUIZE! THEY'RE SO MAD!

[Sargon's wife's son]

People so obviously falling for the fake Rotten Tomatoes when it has a mixed review on Metacritic. I was dragged to the movie by a friend of mine and it was God. awful. Just go watch the Troy movie with the white guy in it. It's better. Also, Helen of Troy should have been played by that woman with huge tits, the blonde one. Sidney Sweeney. Yeah, I'd launch 1000 ships for Sydney Sweeney.

It's why they're all afraid of mice now. Generational PTSD.

War Elephants would kill their own side when they got scared or pissed off.

Elephants still get PTSD in India its pretty sad.
