so Sunday afternoon is probably not the best time to chat about this, but wanted to point out... lobogotti Aug 14, 11:06

Some of those should be left alone... TwoMisfits Aug 14, 11:34

Methinks the lobo/moviesnob studio would be in business a lot longer than the misfits studio. Moviesnob Aug 14, 11:44

Nah - Suicide Squad cost $325M (if you believe it was only $175M to produce)... TwoMisfits Aug 14, 11:49

And Batman v Superman cost $400M (with advertising costs included) TwoMisfits Aug 14, 11:54

if you include all costs, its more, but it'll have total revenue (after splits) of over a billion {nm} Moviesnob Aug 14, 12:11

Bad Moms, as much as it's profitable, it wasn't as strong a comedy as many expected or hoped. Trying to make a sequel would be foolish. diamondman56 Aug 14, 11:55

That's my point above - some successful movies have nowhere to go as sequels... TwoMisfits Aug 14, 11:58

Yep... We need a good plan, Stan :-) {nm} jmt-nl Aug 14, 12:03

They don't have to be successful, they just have to be successful enough. eg Neighbors 2, Hangover 3, Night at the Museum 3, Anchorman 2,etc {nm} RogerMore Aug 14, 12:05

will be interesting to see what STX does with that profit. {nm} lobogotti Aug 14, 15:23

Pay back what they lost on hardcore Henry, free state of jones, and whatever that Julia Roberts thing was {nm} djgrimlok Aug 15, 00:09

Follow my studio strategy, it seems:)...wonder if they stay in business:)... TwoMisfits Aug 15, 10:19

Suicide Squad did not cost $325m. You're making that number up. Moviesnob Aug 14, 12:07

Wish I was, but I think Wikipedia is probably right... TwoMisfits Aug 14, 12:26

then its total costs are actually higher (theres a lot more to life than theatrical). It read as if you were talking about its budget {nm} Moviesnob Aug 14, 12:37

I don't make stuff up, Moviesnob...but you seem to be taking my movie comments more personally TwoMisfits Aug 14, 12:33

you are making stuff up. It takes more than 1-2 hits to be successful. More than 50% of your slate is a better gauge. Moviesnob Aug 14, 12:46

1-2 was a euphemism - I'd actually have to crunch numbers to give a "real number" TwoMisfits Aug 14, 12:55

And I guess if you count the kid summer movies, I've done Shaun the Sheep and Boxtrolls TwoMisfits Aug 14, 13:04

PS - Do you ever tout your original released films on here...if not, you should (especially if you have a "favorite" one)... {nm} TwoMisfits Aug 14, 13:08

;) {nm} lobogotti Aug 14, 15:21

took the gals out for lunch and missed a lot! lobogotti Aug 14, 15:21

Let's see - what I would cut... TwoMisfits Aug 14, 17:38

2017 cuts TwoMisfits Aug 14, 17:47

good stuff. I'm trying to think of a game we could do for this topic. kind of like, be the studio to greenlight and scrap films. {nm} lobogotti Aug 15, 10:54

I like Seth R, and his movies work for what they are...great producer. I keep saying it, this guy does deliver!...and in an ok way. {nm} Malachi Aug 14, 20:53
