Why do so many action movies never make back their budget at the box office?
 

Nowadays it seems like its more and more common for big action movies to never make back their budget. We're seeing it recently even with major franchises like Star Trek, Ghostbusters, TMNT, Suicide Squad, and so forth.

Outside of high profile stuff like Star Wars (and I wonder if Rogue One will do anywhere as well as Episode 7 since its a spinoff), and Marvel movies, most movies have trouble making back their budget nowadays.

Is it a sign action movies have gotten too expensive to produce? Do you think we'll start seeing less of them?

'Cause they haven't been good since the 90's

God you're atrocious.

Suicide Squa has been out 4 ****ING DAYS YOU DUMB A$$!! You have no clue whether it will make back its budget or not. Jesus you have the mind of a 10 year old.

You're such a useless troll here

CyberCubed has been really annoying lately. I wish his mom would put a parental lock on his computer until he lost this attitude of his.

You seem very touchy over how Suicide Squad does. Apparently it has to make more than $700 million. That's quite a lot to go.

I am because there's 4 idiots here on the drome that seem to have no lives outside of trying to bash this movie.

Movies have done that, and will continue to do that. The movie has been out 4 days idiot. You made this thread to bash the movie again. There's no others purpose here. Reporting it and needs to be closed

I literally listed 4 recent movies that just came out. Suicide Squad happens to be one of them.

You listed 2 movies which just came out a week ago. You have no clue if they'll make their budget back. This is a ****** thread just so you could bash movies you don't like. Action movies make their budget all the time. If you really cared about this subject, delete two movie that make it inaccurate right now

So if I didn't mention Suicide Squad you'd have no problem with this thread? Seems to be that one particular movie.

If you could drop the know it all attitude and read, I said two movies. Star Trek hasn't been out a month yet.

And yes suicide squad in particular! Because it's been out 4 DAYS you imbecile. You can't condemn a movie to not make its budget when it hasn't even been released it so many countries and only been in America for 4 days!
My god youre stupid

Because they spend too much money on lame ideas. :trolleye:

You seem overly angry for some reason. It's a thread about action movies trying to make their budget, not some vendetta over a single movie.

Including movies that just came out or are still in theaters is a bit unfair.

I'm angry because you are blatantly wrong here. Suicide squad can easily make its budget back. You have no ****ING clue. It's about time someone called you on your ****

Calm down, man. It's just a movie.

Who hates CyberCubed more - Electric, or ToTheNines?

Sorry, just obnoxious when youre already condemning it and acting like it failed when it's been out 4 days.

You can't just be and idiot an expect to get by

I'm close to locking this one already.

The movies would also make back it's budget when released on DVD/Blu-ray and Digital.

Sometimes a movie gets a sequel when it sells extremely well on home video, but most often then not, it be direct to video movies.

Please do. It's a crappy thread to bash on movies he doesn't like. That is its purpose. No good discussion will come out of this. Just him getting a free for all to critique whatever he wants.

Ghostbusters- Comedy (though subjective)
Star Trek- Sci-Fi
OOTS- Action
Suicide Squad- Action/Superhero

Two of these are action movies, not all of them. They may have action, but are primarily the genres I mentioned. If you were as passionate for TMNT as film, you wouldn't be making rash statements. Lock the thread, and someone for the love of God put a check on Cube after this whole week.

I would debate Star Trek being a Science Fiction movie.
The franchise as a whole I would call Sci-Fi, but the reboot is more action than anything else.

Thank YOU!

This thread was garbage from the moment he made it. He just thinks he's always right and wanted a thread to bash these movies.

Needs to be locked. And why hasn't Cubed ever been temp banned or at least warned. His behavior is close to Mews, just with a less cats

All these movies are still action movies. They're different sub genre's like comedy or sci-fi but they're still action movies with huge set pieces.

I spent 100+ pages wondering why the mods didn't step in and start wielding the ban-hammer. This one's just over two.

Internet cliche #596897: Accuse people with critical faculties and standards as having "no life" due to personal insecurities over one's own subjective enjoyment of a movie.

He's an ugly presence here.
I don't think anyone here stirs up more controversy or causes more problems than cubed, even when Mew was here. Mew, like Goku just had the unfortunate problem of drawing attention to himself.

Internet cliche #6373848: personally insult another online member but then lose your **** whenever someone does it to you.

Shall I refer you to the Thread "ToTheNines Is Openly HARRASSING me!!!!"

Standards like throwing the Orlando shooting in my face when I said PDOotS was depressing as a Turtle movie?

Not my fault you're out of synch with reality.

Nah, the one out of sync with reality, is you who drags in real-life tragedy to shut down criticism on the worst Fred Wolf adaptation we probably will ever see on the big screen.

But, you're classy that way. ;)

Oh my god, thank you Candy Kappa.

anyways, garbage thread officially garbage. Derailed and needs to be locked.

Would also like to point out that besides Mew, no one has more threads thrown in the disintegrator unit than Cubed. He needs some kind of warning

Ah, fair enough plastron. :) Since I feel this is appropriate now:

(I am so sorry, I find it a perfect use here. :P) How long until someone gets banned in the thread? I'm honestly taking bets if it goes on.

Isn't his name on a thread/post warning enough?

Without China, it won't. Everyone says SS is just terrible, like, just the worst.
If this is the same kind of failure, hopefully they don't make anymore DC movies for a while. If they don't understand the characters, there's no point.

They should save themselves the hassle and just cancel Justice Leauge.
It looks terrible.

I think it was George Lucas who said we were approaching a tipping point.

Here be Dragons Cybercubed

Garbage poster posts Garbage.

No one takes you seriously. I don't know why you bother joining discussions like this.

I'm just posting here to prove that I can before the thread locks.

Mods must be sleeping in. Don't blame them. Screw you, Monday.

I'll be honest, I was seriously hoping to hijack this thread for a conversation about Science Fiction movies vs Movies with Science Fiction in Them.

Alas.

The bulk of Star Trek movies are more geared toward action than sci-fi. Most likely because they have to make a plot to fit to 2 hours and make it mainstream enough.
