What would be the benefit of doing this? does a movie doing well in the box office mean more people will go see it next time? did they invest too much into Brie to allow her to fail? If this is actually true, what is the mouse up to here?

That's not how the economy works. open up a comic book store no one shows up, and I instead by every single, can the store to make it look like I'm making a profit I don't actually make a profit.... There's no saving face in this the movies only successful if it's successful if they pretended successful it hurts them regardless. I understand you don't like women but that doesn't mean there are conspiracies out there.

Do you understand the fraud necessary to construct such a scheme? It would involve hundreds if not thousands of people. Consequently, litigation would be brought forward by shareholders if Disney were found out. The risk is too great for a company like Disney. It makes zero sense since they can just continue making more shitty feminist movies if they have an agenda.

>comparing mega-billion corporation to mom-and-pop comic book store
Pants-on-head retarded. Yes, Disney can do this because they can afford to do this. A better allegory would be you PRETENDING to buy your own comics and constantly give yourself a refund but never post your refunds for them publicly.
Disney is just money laundering its own money into the movie to make it look like this movie is a huge new franchise besides what this person said. Besides that, the plan is to replace The Big Three with Captain Marvel and the Diversity Avengers. They MUST make it look like these new characters are in demand so the future normies prop up the franchise for them later.
Julian Carter
same thing with Black Panther
same thing with Wonder Woman
feminism and diversity are what they are pushing hard on the audience and they have to inflate the box office to make it seem like these movies are popular.
Having these movies flop at the box office would show the whole world their agenda has failed and audience don't like it except soibois and fags on 4eddit

We spoke with the mother of the individual who asked for anonymity. She told us they had their son for 34 years, since that "he was always a homosexual, and he is putting a carrot in his ass on Thursday thorough Saturday.
The parent told us this was definetely normal in his behavior. "It is definetely nornal. Peoole don't understand what a little faggot he is. I'm not sure why, but we have seen a group of black individuals visiting him to have sex, and he is asking for refunds if they don't fuck him with their 8 inch cock.
I asked her if OP is still able to shit after such a hard procedure with his anal opening. "I am not sure because his a big boy now, but his ass must hurt because he spends hours and hours on an imageboard, writing hoaxes about a comic book hero movie for children. Also I guess he is wearing diapers because after so many cocks it is stastistically impossible for his shit to not fall out instantly.
She would also indicate that since his boy turned 34 less and less black individuals are fucking him in the ass. "Sunday wasn't good, and Monday was terrible too. If this rate continues my husband will need to fuck hiss ass too, maybe it will motivate him to find a real job."

Alexander Stewart

There are federal laws that prevent a company from engaging in fraudulent behavior to give a false impression of value. I don't know if Disney is incorporated in Delaware like most companies, but there is state law to boot. A company cannot cook the numbers to mislead investors. Disney has been around something like a 100 years. They're not going to risk the litigation and their name for a stupid marvel movie.

I'm sure if someone dug hard enough they could find validity to it. Too many people were saying the same thing. It was weird for me personally because on opening day I had friends who said the exact same the thing. Called me and face time me in theaters because I refused to support that movie. Half empty to empty showings during prime time hours. When online they showed all the seats were filled. For all, we know there is a stipulation on not telling anyone out of fear of dissuading people from coming. You already saw how far they were willing to go with Rotten Tomatoes and having the access media only reporting the exact same talking points without even discussing the opposing view. Don't put it past them dude as all I'm saying.

It's not just Americans you snooty fuck. The logic goes that if it's making lots of money then there's got to be something to it, and that applies everywhere. China in particular eats this shit up.

That's the problem. People are formulating these ridiculous theories as to why the movie made so much money. Does anyone realize the distribution window for the movie was only 3 days whereas most marvel movies are 10-14 days? They front loaded the release probably to save face because even they knew the movie was a turd.
I accept media platforms artificially raising the score of the movie for some cultural agenda, but I'm not buying that Disney is engaged in an international conspiracy to inflate numbers, especially over such an insignificant movie like Captain Marvel.
It's dishonest and to have their paid shills go along with it knowing it was dog shit just to sit at the cool kid's table (John Campea) then to add insult to injury call anyone who disagrees a racist or sexist. Come on on man

I don't like Disney and don't like Larson, but you look crazy for entertaining an idea without any reputable evidence.

I would show up with a picture of amber herd and ask her to autograph it
They're desperate for audiences to like her since she is going to helm the next phase of Avengers movies. I think they know that a good majority of the audiences aren't really into the newcomer show up after one movie and defeat the villain that's been set up for a decade with other characters. But they know she's also an unlikable cunt on social media so they have to save face with ticket sales to make people think it's really good. Just like Black Panther.

it's odd because they are taking a loss. Which is so at odds for what business is fundamentally about.
This kind of reveals the lie that Disney isn't part of some global progressive agenda, because if they will cut their nose to spite their face and use force attrition with their own money to sell that lie that people want feminist propaganda, they really aren't an entertainment company anymore.
Either the communists are so embedded into the fabric of the corporations, or the corporations are being controlled by a larger force.
>two guys behind him Are we so sure Jack wasn't running a crew of retarded half-breed paddy chavs after all?
Hudson James
yup exactly. Disney knows about charisma they hired RDJ for christ sakes, They knew they made a bad investment but to save face did a blitz media campaign including the buy of journalist, strong-arming google and the review embargo on RT
Why didn't they just NDA her the fuck up and tell her to keep her trap shut and her shoes close-toed? Then everyone would be marching into CM without a whiff of malice.
Yidsneys stock needs to avoid big dips in order to secure a good deal for Fox. A movie flopping isnt good for their stock, so pumping it up is probably more valuable within the context of the deal as it ultimately will save them money
The screen actors guild bodyguards are not what they used to be.

>Either the communists are so embedded into the fabric of the corporations, or the corporations are being controlled by a larger force.
Half and half really. The elites at the helm of these corporations are acting beyond the profit motive. It's similar to the Rhodes-Milner Round Table of yesteryear. Once a bunch of elites have obtained more money than they could possibly spend, their thoughts drift towards shaping the culture to come. For Rhodes, it was taking control of universities and proselytizing British values to all of their colonies. For the elites in control of Disney, it's spreading the sjw/woke agenda.
Adam Thomas
I used to think this too.. but you don't reduce profits unless you believe in the message itself. I guess you could make a case that it's just morale building for bigger films like end game.. but they can't manage this over a long period of time.
I just hope the backlash comes in time before civilization is ruined for good, if it isn't already.
Elijah Wright
Other user is right. They have so much money that they are beyond the profit motive. I don't think it's communists or some shadow conspiracy though. I think it's just filthy rich people realizing they have so much money that it's meaningless, and have moved their sights on acquiring intangibles and things people believe money can't buy instead. Instead of a demand-service oriented model, it's supply-ideology oriented. It's supply-side economics, only with ideology instead of products/services
Gavin Martin
Yeah, Disney spearheads the Progressive Agenda. Look at their networks, The shows that air on their networks, The movies and the overt messages. Skrulls being Immigrants. Kree The Patriarchy. A heavy Anti Male Film. Now makes her the new face of a 2 billion dollar franchise for phase 4. Money and reputation are at stake. Star Wars for the first time in its history is not an anticipated juggernaut. The WB has already release two back to back Billion dollar movies, Their upcoming lineup looks pretty damn impressive while Disney is waiting on Endgame to plot its new course. The CW is going cosmic so all ground-based DC shows are gone as of next year crossover. Just to compete with Disney. This is all apart of the Culture War. Which means serious cash is on the line. Don't negate phony liberal outrage. Those people love to pound the keyboard in defense of social justice.
Jaxson Cook
right but.. that class of people are GENERALLY traditionalists and conservative. It makes sense for them to be that way to maintain their own power base. The police. The military. Family values. If they destroy that shit they weaken their own wealth... so it can't just be a boredom... it's a shift in mindset that is against their own interests.
I guess we'll see if Episode 9 gets a similar snow job. They can't keep these paper trails of money hidden forever with the scrutiny that people put on movie finances.
I'm already counting on review snow job again. The least anticipated Star Wars next to Solo. Yeah they are going to shill hard for that one. The only good thing that may come from that is Kennedy being shown the door.
>They actually just play old episodes of tale spin. I'm down. What theater is this?

>it's odd because they are taking a loss. >Which is so at odds for what business is fundamentally about.
Only if you're incredibly short sighted and ignore other factors for no reason. Brands have value. Disney paid what, over 4 billion for the Star Wars franchise? So you realise that it's not a case of "if every Star Wars movie turns a profit, Disney has therefore turned a profit". That's fucking stupid, they paid 4 billion for the brand. After a slew of disappointing movies, do you still think that brand is worth 4 billion? Hell, they probably lowered the value of that brand by more than it cost to make one of their shit movies by making their shit movies. If they've lowered the value of that Brand to 3 billion, they've lost 1 billion dollars in simple terms. Thinking every film exists in a vaccuum to be judged in financial terms in isolation without taking into account the wider picture is simply retarded user.

It is not outside their capabilities. It's well within the companies ability to organize and carry out. The problem is it would leave a significant trail that could be followed and could incriminate them. Disney may be huge, but don't underestimate their rivals. Why would Disney risk this? If this were true, NBC/Comcast/Universal would be using it against Disney. Hell, ALL the movie studios would team up against Disney over this. Even if Disney could hypothetically win a fight against the guilt of this they would not come out of it unharmed. We're talking government anti-trust laws, federal trade commission, wall street and blah blah blah.
At the end of the day, no one wants to admit the truth. Families are going to see this movie in decent numbers. Captain Marvel has similar numbers to Minions. Process that in your heads. If Minions can make 1b, than yea, Disney can too.

It's not about money. It's about the agenda and censorship. They may lose hundreds of millions by buying their own tickets but they effectively taken over Big Tech's search algorithm and RT's method of accepting user reviews. And it's also possible they they didn't pay for every empty seat. They probably have some people buy tickets as a donation or as a money laundering scheme.
Gabriel Hughes
wow no pictures or purchase or anything, just anonymous anecdotes that everyone believes
Evan Cox
This. But not because they're afraid Endgame will lose hype; there's no chance of that. It's because Captain Marvel is basically the Iron Man of the MCU 2.0, and if it's a disaster then that's a huge problem for the next phase of the MCU.
Brayden Smith
What's the point of this? It's like some kind of idea that people are followers or something. But this is very plausible plus they don't want a failure in the franchise like solo. A film that people can point to and say look at this failure.
It's simple really. They have companies that were created off the books with laundered money. They setup these companies as charity, social media influencer(shills/bots/trolls) and 3rd party review websites or ticket selling website. We all know Disney had several little companies that they financed or bought for decades. They even did this when they bought Maker studios to force Youtubers to become shills.

Captain Marvel is very important movie for MCU, next chapter is relies solely on its success. News like “Captain Marvel is a flop” after such a long streak of hits would be devastating.

Matthew Bennett
He's got a lot more on his side than you do honestly. You can circle stroke to the idea of 'lol poor yt man' all you want, but there's only one group of people that are being told they're not allowed to have their own self-determination anymore.
Many of these huge companies have a lot of offshore money that they can't get in country. Apple for example: bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-17/apple-expects-38-billion-tax-bill-on-overseas-repatriated-cash These companies have more money that you can imagine. Disney has a market cap of something like 130 billion dollars. Perhaps buying tickets is win win for them. Perhaps it gets money back in from overseas but also prevents the film from failing and soiling the marvel franchise. Perhaps it goes further than this even. Have you seen the clip of the U.S. senate enquiry where they talk about using hollywood to win the culture war against memes. Who knows what complex arrangements exist between the propaganda machines and the government. Perhaps disney gets some good tax incentives to make a piece of propaganda like this. This is all obviously wild speculation but it's not outside the realm of possibility.

Their whole plan was to inject this new super strong and sassy hero into endgame. It would be a disaster if everyone hated the character/this movie.
Lucas Price
Which is why Disney buying up tickets will piss off theaters so much. Ghosts don't buy popcorn and sodas. Disney meanwhile gets about 90% of the purchase price of opening weekend ticket sales back, so relatively speaking, it's not much of an expense especially if it's tax deductible. Much cheaper than running advertising and gets you more attention than the ads would have.

Yikes you guys really got triggered over the boot licking comment. As if you guys are so open-minded as implied. So everyone who doesn't believe your idiotic conspiracy theory is a Disney ass licker now? That's pretty funny.

People in current year correlate boc office numbers with quality. If Disney are buying up all these tickets they are doing so to inflate the bix office numbers and as such get more people to watch the movie, especially since its a new character and fans might not wanna risk paying to see a movie fot a charcter they might not enjoy.
Buisniesses often make risky investements that may or may not pay of, especially rich companies like Disney that can afford to take risks. Sometimes they invest in shit that may or may not bring in profits in several years. I know that this site is filled with larping libertarians who think they know how buisniess work and who thinks they fight against the "evil jews and communists" but you peoplr have a 12 year olds perception on buisniess and capitalism, jesus christ.
So, you think it's unethical for a government funded youth program to spend money on amusements for the youths? That's silly, and if you are comparing that to "ghost tickets," you are way, way off base

captain marvel making more money than most marvel movies is in fact a crazy notion
Ethan Price
It has everything to do with that meme.
Everything without proof is just an appeal to the hater's preconceptions.
You know what has proof though? A sudden and instantaneous influx of +50k negative reviews on Rotten Tomatoes one day, launching it from 17k up to 70k, which then fell back to 18k after the purge of fake spam. >"conspiracy theory reeeee" >"I swear we didn't try to bomb this before it was was even out!"
I am old. Not once in my life have I seen a theater employee come in while the movie is showing to count empty seats. An "anonymous source" said it though, so it HAS to be a fact that they actually did count seats.
Why would you watch an employee doing his job and not that movie? >I am old And full of shit.

You don't need to come in and look at the empty seats you mongoloid, he can see if anyone's actually entering his theater. Retard.

>Do you understand the fraud necessary to construct such a scheme? It would involve hundreds if not thousands of people. Consequently, litigation would be brought forward by shareholders if Colleges were found out. The risk is too great for a school like USC, UCLA, Yale and Texas.

Michael Lopez

Hell. If you gave me 50m in an account and a few weeks to do it I'm sure I could do most of it myself.
Dylan Jackson
Why aren't other film makers suing Disney for unfair practices?
Matthew Ortiz
This. Tickets were bought electronically and no one showed up. Wouldn't be surprised if most tickets were brought through a whole sale middle man. These are unfair business practices. Someone needs to sue Disney.
Eli Price
Maybe because of all these assistant manager keeping their mouth shut
Dominic King
The IRS then. There's illegality here somewhere. How and from where is what we need to know.

Great! Let's assemble the teeeveee investigation unit! I know a couple of guys who worked on pizzagate and a dude from /x/ who has double-vision.

Daniel Murphy
>Nowadays even shit movies have promotions that costs 300+ million, giving 50 million to buy your own tickets to boost opening weekend is pennies in comparison.
THIS. For all the Discord Trannies shitting on the fact that Disney buying tickets makes no sense (to their dumb asses), even getting 50% of that money back still nets them incredibly cheap advertising. Look at how many articles came out praising their box office take. All normie-targeted advertising telling them to go see what everyone else is watching. People are dumb enough to fall for this marketing, and it makes more sense than buying more television ad time.
Angel Carter
>Disney has been around something like a 100 years. They're not going to risk the litigation and their name for a stupid marvel movie.
No, Disney is smart enough to set up SHELLS like GoFundMes for little girls so there are LAYERS that won't directly tie back to Disney.
Are you seriously so retarded that you don't understand how companies outsource?

"Advertising Budget: $X" Shareholders do not demand strict breakdowns Disney does not go to the theater to buy their own tickets while wearing a Disney name tag, they outsource that shit to avoid getting caught. How dumb are you?

Every movie now, as part of its marketing, goes "it's going so good, people love it so much we have a sequel in plans with this director who made this thing everyone loves, everything's going great, come see what the buzz is about"
Now it's a bigger deal since it's the face of the marvel 2.0 they're trying to amp up and plus gay politics shit
Also they probably launder through tax detuction charity shit
They will see what comes after it too. After the 20th movie this has entered TVs series mentality. Some episodes of TNG were good, some of them were bad, people still watched it every week. It would have to be consistently shit for several consecutive movies in order for people to start slowly leaking out.

resting bitch face dw, i only learned this yesterday
Worse, and far bigger scale. This sets the precedent for aggressive social engineering and blatant political propaganda in modern entertainment. This has to appear to succeed, at all costs, to warrant further expansion of all media into similar territory. Humanity is at war with corporate oligarchs ran by psychopaths who’s lack of morality would put your run of the mill murderer or rapist to shame. We’re in an information war and the truth needs to be controlled and manipulated for them to win.
Thomas Rogers
Literally nothing happened except a few fringe "journalist" (bloggers) wrote that "THE TROLLS WON'T WIN!" but they forgot that 'the trolls' were just people voting on rotten tomatoes for a few seconds and then went to do something else with their day.
