"the state of being seriously mentally ill; madness" The actual definition of insanity. xD I hate that stupid saying because there are actually things that have so many variables that you can do the same thing and expect different results. Still I agree with the sentiment. Disney and Blizzard Entertainment have a lot in common. Both legendary companies that had they followed their founding philosophies they would have been successful forever. That because they changed their philosophies so drastically are changing some of the most successful companies in human history into failures. Also as twisted as the dwarf joke was it is true. Since they are dwarves they cannot change their career with the same ease an able bodied person can. So they do get undercut in cost because they don't really have a choice if the studio stands their ground. They have to take roles for publicity and cannot afford to negotiate the price forever. Not even including that this is the most unfair business in the world from the start. You can fail as an actor even if you are perfect in every aspect just because everyone above you hates you.

Maybe she is just so used to not trashing anything she is in that Gadot just sees it as common sense? Could be that she was told to talk about it in a good light, or she just went about it the way she normally does. Because Gadot has a big bulk of work behind her, she has been in so many projects that she is probably just used to PR and how to sell tickets.

Other than maybe spoiler stuff, I doubt Disney tells actors not to be negative about their movies or the original IP. It's just common sense not to do that. Something Zegler seems to be lacking

[@45100]

Well from my standpoint it is simple. Disney gave a young unknown actress free hand to show off and now it will cost them. Take from the other side. Harrison Ford quite openly said that he didn't like the character of Han Solo. Yet he didn't let this affect his performance, at least not in the Original trilogy. And yes I know those were different times. No social networks or such things. If those existed back then. Maybe it would be the same situation. But what constantly makes me wonder is, why does Rachel Zegler think she's something extra, and why does nobody have the guts to tell her to stop causing more harm? If you've had an employee that you know is talking trash about you and your company thus making you lose possible customers, would you keep such an employee?

Said of Barbie “it’s so brightly lit.” Perhaps, if The Mouse doesn’t want to chase (perhaps would say ‘pander’) to those audiences it needs to make the live action remakes more like an Indie studio. Smaller budgets & hope to create breakout stars & thoughtful plots. But modernized Snow White adaptions have been done before many times.

Slowly, their reputation may be redeemed, which may bring people back into the fold. 2) They continue doing what they are doing. Revenue goes down & costs go up. They need to scale back across the board.

I honestly don't understand how the movie needs to make about triple it's budget to break even...unless there are other costs I'm not aware of.

[@lowtide3636]

A movie has hidden cost associated with it. One big cost is marketing. A big film like the live action little mermaid is normally reporter to have a marketing budget close to the actual production. The next big cut is ticket sales, the film theaters and studios have a split ticket revenue system depending upon agreements. Most theaters will take 40% of a ticket per sale. So for a movie to break even you need to account for production + marketing + revenue. That’s why a film that only makes its production money back is considered unprofitable

they should of redrawn it and made it upscale. Or in 3d.

[@drdassler]

Just scrap it now.

[@jezyv2034]

We have too many blockbusters. Studios are making way too many big budget movies. We need low to mid range movies that dont expect to make billions. Expensive movies arent necessarily good movies.

it is sad how movies have become.

When you order a nice juicy burger, but the waiter lectured you about animal cruelty and climate change and calls you names, belittles you and then brings you a vegan burger. And then they walk away proud of themselves thinking they’ve changed you to be better person and that you’ll come back. This is Disney now.

[@TDKiller415]

If this movie makes just one cent over double its budget it will be labelled by the MSM as a financial success like the Little Mermaid 😂😂 Wikipedia lists Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning as the 8th highest of 2023 but a box office bomb, but refuses to label Little Mermaid as a bomb even though it came 9th 😂 Goes to show who's really in charge

I am so done with Hollywood at this point that I can't even watch a movie made after 2015.

[@sas534]

A lot of people still go to the cinema, because its a large screen you get to enjoy with friends. That has not changed post Covid. So thats a poor excuse. Disney films are soooo tired now

When the foundation of a company switches and relies on a new audience with mental illness for support I can’t feel bad for them whatsoever

Cost $300 millions (versus say $147 + promotional with $1.4 BILLION box office to date)! My first guess was due to filming way out of the TMZ in England. But Barbie was partially filming in the UK (@ Venice Beach Skate Park, LA, CA, USA). So that can’t be the total reason. (Warning conspiracy theory speculation - fastidious snark remark) Perhaps the House of Mouse is costing all the severance pay of the layoffs to this film. It would seem letting one of the stars talk has NOT helped. Wikipedia quotes RZ as saying “our [2024] version is a refreshing story of (Snow White) who has a function beyond ‘Someday My Prince Will Come.’” Maybe if she left it at that things would be better (not gr8). But adding “stalker,” “weird, weird” about the 1937 legacy fanned the flames. The Mouse mgmt & PR needed to say “here’s the K Stewart interview on ‘Huntsman.’ Emulate it.” But the Mouse seems to be all-on (analogy intended to TX hold-em) to the tune of $300$900 millions on the “Boss” theme. I’ve heard claims the acting talent for the Seven what-evers are NOT allowed to talk. Go to IMDB’s page on 2024. The roles include Maple, dancers and artisans. Some of these must be the Seven what-evers. Or are the Seven just a chorus or corps de ballet? I have nothing against DEI per se but the mistake IMO is forcing diversity while seemingly retaining medieval/Western European setting falls in the trap of the remake. Changing the setting to Sci-fi-fantasy or perhaps an overtly Hispanic/Spanish setting might work better. Others have done so - Sydney White (contemporary sorority) or Red Shoes & the Seven Dwarves.

Gal Godot is absolutely a professional. She deserves respect for it.

480p why ?
