ONLY AN IDIOT WOULD
SPEND 100MS ON A COLOR PURPLE REMAKE







​

It's a period piece. They are typically expensive. SEE: Killers of the Flower Moon; Napoleon.

Bad for black movies .. y’all celebrating

black film bombs = they stop making black movies

they not gonna look any further than that

so ALL "black" movies should be supported regardless of any denigrating and untruthful messaging propagated and displayed that only serves to further divide us?

This is ironically the most fake and try-hard pro-black shyt i've ever heard

Oprah...

Two other white men produced the movie but you curiously didn't name them. Only the black woman. Interesting.

Book of Clarence was given a 40 million budget?

Them Jesus sandals are expensive bruh

 

[Gains]

White people don’t even make these types of drama type movies anymore with big budgets.

Movie shouldn’t have cost $100 million to begin with.

And it doesn’t help that this was an all black cast.

You have to make something fresh and original.

the original film from 1985 cost 15 milli to make

That’s not a black movie…

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

I saw the original and it hurt me as a black boy.
I read the book as a teenager.

I'm not going to see it now because it's an all singing and dancing version.

 

[KidJSoul]

Yall saying "this is and for black movies "

Didn't the Bob Marley movie make bank,

Black films are doing pretty good. Agenda driven black films? Less so. Even the most miserable black-men-hating intersectional feminists didn't want to spend their Christmas/New Years holiday watching misery porn. There's a clear demand for black films and perhaps more importantly: black characters. Not just a race swapped character in an adaption, but an actual black person on screen expressing humanity, artistically. The Holdovers is not a black film, but features one of the most compelling black characters I've seen recently. The Bear isn't a black TV show, but features multiple compelling black characters. I think we're shifting back to a time when bringing characters (and good roles) to screen was more important that jamming a black person into a screen to spit some Twitter/social media bars.

I think we're seeing a certain type of black filmmaker phased out, finally. That is gonna end up opening up opportunity for something better IMO. And I'm not saying any depiction of black struggle is misery porn. But we've got to move past misery for misery's sake, with clear agenda's to belittle or demonize black men. A black man rejecting you in high school shouldn't be the origin story for why these women get into filmmaking and start pumping out nonsense.

Adjusted for inflation that’s about $30 - 35 million tops today.

And it grossed $98 million.
And it could rely on VHS cassette revenue
And it could rely on cable TV revenue
And it could rely on network tv revenue.


Times have changed.

I mean...no one really asked for this movie. Hollywood is creatively bankrupt unfortunately.

we forget how home video sales would pick up the slack for movies that underperform in the box office
