Why did Spider-Verse flop?

It's the highest earning SPA film domestically and received enough endorsement deals to pay for the entire production budget plus a substantial portion of the advertising.

Or recouping 4x what you spent making the fucking thing. Is it now a thing that where if a movie doesn't make 1 Billion at least, it's a 'flop'?

>It's the highest earning SPA film domestically
because its the only one

I can't believe it only had 90 mil budget.

I wouldn't call those numbers a flop
What alternate reality do you live in?

It didn't flop, but if it didn't review as amazingly as it did, it was at risk to. Sony damaged the brand, and there was no MCU attachment.

Though what do I know. Venom seemed to do okay.

>Sony damaged the brand
>Literally considered the best animated film this decade just about
How the fuck did they damage the brand

You didn't read my post right.

I can
most movies with bigger budgets are just money laundering schemes, user

Uh, no.

SPA films pretty much all run in the neighborhood of $80-110 million with the pure animated films being cheaper than the live action-CGI mixes. .

>90 mil
>a flop
I mean, thats more money than you're ever gonna see in your life OP but hey, whatever.

>tfw Hotel Transylvania prints money and Tartakovsky can eat plentifully

>t other fw The Emoji Movie is higher on the list than it should be

I bet it made its money back on endorsements before the movie came out.

Normies still think animation is for children and decided to go see live action beauty and the beast or dumbo or some other dumb shit.

You made the same dumb mistake OP did and read the numbers in reverse.

they're really not

i mean literally if you wanted to launder money you wouldn't put it into a scheme that has to produce accounts for scrutiny by the fucking IRS and is essentially a hundred-million-dollar startup and you sure as fuck wouldn't keep using the exact same people to run these schemes because they'd skim and you'd either have to deal with that or let it go unchecked which means anybody with even half a brain would take you for every penny, which, you know, is more than anybody would ever need to live on the rest of their lives, or all these big-name directors and producers would be turning up dead and maimed the whole time

if you wanted to launder money, even hundreds of millions, you'd go to a small-town bank manager, get kompromat on him with whatever prostitutes/drugs/anything, make sure he understands the good times will continue to roll so long as he doesn't do anything stupid or get greedy, and use his access to national banking systems to do your laundering

and eventually you'd still get caught, because that's the thing: people, even mobsters, are frequently caught for doing crimes

inb4 another layer of bullshit conspiracy theory

the fact is while 200 million might seem like a lot, you've got insurance costs, you've got transport costs, you've got commissary costs - you would not believe how much hiring buses and food trucks to go to the fucking desert for anything up to a couple of weeks at a time costs, for example - and so on and so forth

even on a modest production you still need a whole lot of shit, you're going to pay probably half the budget in state and federal taxation on goods and services, etc etc

try doing any accountancy at all before you start flinging shit around again, ape, the reality of running even a modest small business is a lot different to your dreams of one day balancing your check book
