It's crazy to think a remake of a media that aged well is making so much money, Gisney really just throwing spam at the wall and see what stick.

I did not expect Lilo & Stitch to be doing that much, given how much complaint I saw online about it coming out. I guess this is a prime example of the vocal minority. I’m sure a sequel will be fast tracked.
No. It's pretty solid meh. Just because people ignore it to watch the solid meh movie from Disney, is just separate to the criticism.
People all over are happy for the digital baby sitter for a couple hours and this is one of the most beloved characters in the world if you have ever seen the amount of stitch merchandise. The majority agrees it's ok at best but we don't live in a legit meritocracy and Disney will get its money back not in spite of it but just because.
If they did a animated sequel placed sometime after the tv series I'd be game. I know I won't be getting that though.
I was shocked to find out the show did get a sequel series. In anime.
There's like 3 sequel, all direct to dvd though, like all the disney classic's sequel, so you know it's gonna be poopy.
Woah woah. The animated sequels are good. Heck they even give stitch cancer (no I am not joking) the last one was childish but also I think they just wanted to celebrate the show by that point.
I don't think them having the budget for theatrical runs should be the standard for good or "poopy"
I guess this is a prime example of the vocal minority
Yeah, but they got the attention they wanted and grifters got the profit they want from rage baiting.
M.I was also very useful propaganda for recruiting to the military, they said they hit thier qouta last year because of the movie.
Just looked it up, mission impossible’s budget was $400 million.
God damn…
For context, ghost protocol which is directed by Brad bird and imo the best one cost $145 million (but 2011 money).
Even fallout which had Henry Cavill and was the most lucrative cost $175 mil. Wtf is going on with Hollywood these days?
I think the real answer is that Tom Cruise is funneling a shit load of production money to himself. Why else would you be director, producer, and lead actor in a movie?
Kind of amazing anyone backed it for any amount of money, the last one was miserably bad.
it is not normal budget by any means. I doubt that the next parts will cost so much. they say there are multiple reasons for that cost, including the pandemic.
I thought this was supposed to be the last one.
Was this ever a valid statement in Hollywood:)?
Cast salaries have been through the roof lately in Hollywood
I wonder if they fudged the numbers to hide that they lost money
What do you mean? The movie made 450M, the budget of 400M is only production, does not include marketing or distribution. In the past the studios got around 40-50% of the box office, even if it's more in this casre the movie definitely lost money, can't hide that.
Ahhh I didn't know thanks
Those are some solid numbers for Mission Impossible; I've stopped watching them after the third or the fourth one.
The real MI is to get people to watch them
