M.I was also very useful propaganda for recruiting to the military, they said they hit thier qouta last year because of the movie.

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.

Those are some solid numbers for Mission Impossible; I've stopped watching them after the third or the fourth one.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

The real MI is to get people to watch them

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.

Yeah, but they got the attention they wanted and grifters got the profit they want from rage baiting.

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.

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.

I was shocked to find out the show did get a sequel series. In anime.

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 wonder if they fudged the numbers to hide that they lost money

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.
