Flop!
Cost $6 Million and only made $1 Million. Good luck getting a sequel. This movie use donations to get it made. Better luck next time.
shareA) The movie cost $5.7 million dollars of FAN DONATED MONEY! That means that it didn't need to make it's budget back because the studio didn't pay to have it made.
B) It made $1 million dollars in a day, $2 million in a weekend and that's just domestic box office. That means in domestic box office alone it's already made back almost half its budget.
C) It wasn't just available in theatres but On Demand and online platforms where it is expected to make most of its profit as the theatre showings are generally for the hardcore Marshmallows. So I'd expect it to make its budget back this weekend.
Nice try though.
Also, kickstarter raised 5.7 million, but before a cent was spent on the movie they had to spend money on the rewards for donors. So I don't know an exact number, but the budget for the film was definitely less than the 5.7.
shareA) Studios are HAPPY that they DIDN'T invest THEIR MONEY in this movie. Good for them! Idiot Fanboys pitch in to a project that only gave them a couple of hours entertainment. Noice. Big Studios NOW know that it isn't worth investing in this project for a sequel.
So let me guess ANOTHER Donation from the fans? No wonder Bell is laughing and you fans are looking stupid by the minute.
B) So because it made half this week you're thinking NEXT week it will gain back the other half? Clearly you're a friggin idiot.
C) So YOU expect to make it budget back.
Nice Try Idiot Fanboy.
It made half in theaters in the US, yes. However, that number does not include overseas as well as digital and on-demand sales. I'm pretty sure it made more than half, if not already its budget, by this weekend and it'll only continue to grow. :)
shareWhy in the hell are you in here? You are clearly not a fan of the show and are doing nothing more than mocking the frequenters of the sub-forum due to their particular interest.
The studio does not have a vested financial interest in it, and cinema is only a portion of the revenue stream (VOD plus upcoming DVD sales) so it is guaranteed to generate a return on the initial investment, even though the film was not made for that purpose. A 2 million theater weekend with a limited theater count, expected frontloadedness on OD and multiple other revenue streams siphoning off ticket sales is far from discouraging.
Have you seen the On Demand grosses? Are you saying that you honestly think more people went to the theatre to see this movie than ordered it from the comfort of their home? And you're calling ME an idiot? The film has likely already recouped its budget and the president of Warner Theatres has already said he's happy with its performance. Meanwhile, you're not only looking incredibly stupid but deranged and pathetic.
