This comment just made my day.

Constance will later take the one who's her grandson to raise as her own who you will meet in season 8

Mad oo

See link up

Stonecoldstare1:

Ooooh, sorry I spoilt it for you. Well she will give birth to twins, one for her husband and the other for Tate making them heteropaternal superfecundal

No you didn't spoil it for me.

I know she has two twins from different fathers and that one if the twins is devouring the food meant for the other one.

That one should be Tate's pikin

Stonecoldstare1:

She's the dramatic one in the group but the weird one is just me. I didn't see the twist at the end. Boone is a complete idiot. Who the fvck lies they are gay just to fit in?

Stonecoldstare1:

Wow, so fast. You've seen the heteropaternal superfecundal twins she gave birth to?

Where I am she Neva give birth yet .

Stonecoldstare1:

Yes. I just wish fox didn't give it the boot. I laughed watching every scene. I love how it didn't take itself serious as a black comedy. My favorite character is Chanel no 3 or is it 5? The weird one wearing the ear muffs though

My best character is Chanel no 1

Stonecoldstare1:

Do you have any idea who the man in the rubber suit is?

Tate.


I'm already in episode 11.

Slimpotter:

You people will just sit one place and be talking anyhow. I know you'll still say innoson too is doing assembling.

Be carrying China matter on top head like gala.

Even the china you are defending have admitted that they still have a long way to go.

TheGiftedOne:
Still can't believe that a giant in technological advancement like China are the ones suffering this humiliating menace of a virus.
.

Bro , China is not a giant in technological advancement.She is just an assembler par excellence.

Snapchat:


You can do all these when you have your own money. They are not obligated to tell you what charity they contribute to. As if, it not you people that said Otedola donation was audio.

See the way he is even talking about how the billionaires should spend their own wealth.

phil5:
and every other is from US
even as dangote never complete that refinery and fertilizer plant no body fit overtake. after the completion when oil money start pouring in, the rest will be read in history books.

Oil refineries don't have high profit margins. So I heard.

Refineries are a low profit margin business.So dangotes net worth won't boom.

I believe that every good looking guy/ lady deserves an amazingly beautiful/ handsome woman/guy to get married to, at least for the sake of posterity... let the unborn kids be proud their dad/mum made the right choice

Bro some times it doesn't work that way , nature is cruel. Haven't you seen when children of two attractive parents aren't attractive at all

Knives out


8/10.

To think that parasite beat this movie in getting the best original screenplay.

Smh

Have u watched scream queens

mekaprime:


Exactly. That's why i said that it reaching the $300m benchmark is nothing but wishful thinking.

And again when you hear a movie bombed at the first week , your morale may die down to watch the film.

Nickshrapnel:
This is enough reason

China's level of control is scary

Why didn't Joker screen in China ?

mekaprime:


So you're confident the movie would earn $300m in a space of a month. I wouldn't be a cog in another man's wheel of progress, so i wish it does too. But from the numbers point of view, it all seems like wishful thinking.

Let's even keep in mind that the first week is when sales are the hottest

KoiceReloaded:


The $84m production cost of BoP doesn't tell the whole story.

People tend to forget that for every dollar spent on movie production, another will be spent on marketing, distribution and advertising.

WB may have spent $84m on production, but you can rest assured that it spent more on advertising, marketing and distribution (which these days can cost north of $100m), thus the sum total of money spent on the movie as a whole should be somewhere upwards of $300m.

To answer your question, in other to break even, a movie has to recoup all the money spent on production, marketing, advertising and distribution.

Furthermore, to make a profit, a movie has to make a MINIMUM of twice the sum total of it's budget (production+marketing+advertising+distribution).

Basically, BoP MUST gross at least $350m to be considered successful. If it can't do that, it's a dumpster fire box office bomb.

Thanks a lot !!!!


I was smelling something fishy when I found out that Joker merely made 300 million dollars as profit despite the fact that it grossed over a billion dollars.

That's not how it works. Here's what you should know. Break even point, a point where income equals expenditure.

Production budget for birds of prey was 84million. Note, this doesn't include marketing cost. Most times, marketing cost is half of production cost. Then for some very few movies, marketing cost goes far beyond half of the production cost. But bare in mind that marketing cost isn't part of the production cost & most times, it's half of the production cost.

Total Budget(production + marketing): $126(84+42) million.
Theaters & cinemas have a cut for every individual ticket sold. Note, we have 3 regions which makes up the total gross for the box office revenue.
For Assumption sake, here's the maths
Domestic Gross: Bear in mind that studio keeps about 50% of the price of the individual tickets sold, while cinema keeps the other half.

International Gross: Studio keeps about 40% of the price of the ticket sold, while cinema keeps 60%

China Gross: Studio keep 25%, while the cinema keep a whopping 75% of individual ticket sale.
So for a movie to break even, it has to make double of it's production cost.
That 82million dollars in revenue you see far for birds of prey, isn't the actual revenue, because the 3 aforementioned regions haven't collected theirs. When they are done collecting theirs, if what is left isn't up to 126 million dollar, then you're making a loss. So to break even, you should make twice your total budget, which should be between 250-300million.

From what you posted , I doubt if birds of prey will even make even.

Why are there giving China so much advantage ?

Daaiimmn!!! Very enlightening post.thanks a lot


May God almighty bless you for taking your time to write this post.

Blue3k:
Their context isn't compelling. The 500 million wont change that. They need better producers to help get them better original programs. I'd like to see more documentaries.

Or maybe they should just privatize it.

Nickshrapnel:
They don’t add money for promotions to the budget, so while the production cost might be $84m an additional $100m might have been used for advertising it

Stonecoldstare1:

You look like a Ryan Murphy buff looking at your choice of both the series you asked me about. He created both ACS and AHS.

Before I started watching American horror story someone recommended American crime story for me. The names sounded similar so I checked if it was the same person that made them , and it was.


Bro there are so many series too watch. Daaimm

I prefer series to movies big time.

SalomonKane:
I still wonder why they're calling it a flop. From the look of things it might even make more than the budget money.

I'm wondering too.

Stonecoldstare1:

You look like a Ryan Murphy buff looking at your choice of both the series you asked me about. He created both ACS and AHS. You will like feud, it talks about real life famous feuds. Season 1 delved into the greatest Hollywood feud of all time. The fight for supremacy between Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. God almighty.... this two women hated each other to the core and they didn't hide it either on or off set but they had to work together to save their dying careers making life hell for the director. If you did watch the last movie they both made "what ever happened to baby Jane", the kick Bette gave Joan was real and they had to shoot that scene many times as Bette claimed she wasn't really feeling the scene using a body bag, imagine being kicked and dragged around almost 12 times. I thought Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon were feuding in real life, awesome performances from both of them. I think Susan also won the globe for her performance

Season 2 will focus on the feud between prince Charles and princess Diana post divorce till her death

Nawao I like this Ryan Murphy's style .


I just checked feud on rotten tomatoes and it looks like a must watch.

Birds of prey budget was 84 million dollars and so far it has grossed 82 million dollars , can someone explain to me why it needs 250 to 300 million dollars to break even instead of just 2 million dollars

Ausrichie:

Ewo . So are they practising socialism.

No , they are practising capitalism....crony capitalism.

Ausrichie:

I suspect the mafia again. But wait I don't understand is Russia still a communist country.

Russia stopped being a communist country since 1991.

Right now Putin and his cabal are looting Russia mercilessly.

Putin is said to be worth 200 billion dollars.

Ausrichie:

embezzling na understatement. Sha the mafia was backing it...

Russia too is another country that embezzlement dey like no tomorrow.
