Summer 2019 has proven a rocky road for Hollywood, but could the biggest bomb be just weeks away? An intriguing leak on Yea Forums this month shared that Sony Studios is privately melting down over tracking for Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood. The Insider user dished that
>The movie cost $150 million, at least, and Sony has spent another $100-130 million on global marketing. The studio is in a jam because Tarantino will not allow his movie to be "spoiled" by marketing and press. Problem is there is no signature ultraviolence that audiences crave until the final 15 minutes. The lack of guns, blood, action, sex and even romance in the marketing isn't connecting. Especially with younger audiences who don't understand the plot, nor find the Manson subplot or Sharon Tate story to be engaging.
>The Hateful 8 disappointed but its stagey contained set tempered industry reaction. This movie on the other hand is supposed to be a huge hit, his biggest. Notably, it's also his first without Jewish mentor, infamous legend Harvey Weinstein. Sony needs QT to stay in their fold but he'll likely bail if this doesn't rack up Django grosses. Worldwide is a little better right now, but $350 million including US does not break even.
Personally I hate Hollywood. I will lmao if the Big One Earthquake brings Hollywood to its knees as its most celebrated Golden Boy hack director finally falls between the cracks of irrelevance. He's the original Reddit Rebel filmmaker.
Insider user also leaked details for Tarantino's next two projects, which I can share if interested. One involves his new wife, Israeli pop singer and aspiring actress Daniella Pick. She might be his downfall according to Insider user.
