The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Kevin Feige tasks MCU's facebook page to "easter egg" Spiderman

People just want to throw Spidey in the Avengers,f*** the logic.
Logic? Spidey's parents were supposed to be agents of Shield. There's the logic. And it's true logic too. Honestly I don't care for making him an avenger, I just want him to be a part of the mcuniverse.
Honestly, it's more TASM 2 and the direction they're taking that bothers me. I actually really enjoyed TASM 1 and thought it was a needed fresh take on Spider-Man. But they completely ruined that with TASM 2 IMO: the sudden swift in tone, making Harry Green Goblin, tossing in every name they can come up with without any character development, bad writing etc. I thought TASM 2 was so bad that it's even hard to Watch TASM 1 now, knowing what's next.

Also, even though I really like TASM1, Lizard wasn't used to his potential at all and deserves better.
to be quite honest I did not mind that they made Harry goblin. I didn't like kafka being a man, hopefully that was not the real kafka and he's got a wife or a daughter or a sister or something. And I agree with the Lizard stuff from ASM1 and I know what you mean about not being able to watch ASM1 because of ASM2 - I feel that way when I play Mass Effect knowing what happens at the end of ME3.
Because when you take into account what the total bill of the movie was, along with marketing, and figure out how much they're actually keeping in their pocket of that 700M... The numbers get really tight. They figured it'd have to be around 800M to be profitable. They don't just pocket 700M, a portion of that goes to the theatres and things like that.
Actually I hear that theaters don't make much money off of the movies they play and that's the reason why all their **** - popcorn and drinks, are so expensive. However, I know that for box office overseas, Hollywood studios don't make back the full amount as domestic... only around half I think.
well double the budget and add the marking costs, they pretty much broken even around 600 mill

they have made a small profit, just maybe not around the 100 mark

they have not lost any money
Cut the amount made overseas in half. Because that's how much Sony gets out of it. I'm pretty sure that is something I learned here on SHH.
You need to just about double your film's budget to make a profit.

Movie theaters get a cut of the earnings that theater makes.

If they spent 600 mill then they failed.
I don't think movie theaters keep box office earnings. It is the reason why their snacks and beverages are so goddamn expensive.
you are on a forum where thoughs who hated TASM2 will beat it down and say how it failed as much as possible, and thoughs who liked it will defend it to the end

you just have to let people moan, and moan again when TASM3 Starts production

No man, that does not make it okay. There are general consensuses, and the one for this movie is really bad.
 
Theaters keep a percentage of the earnings. Not all but a percent like 10-15.

I have heard this many times but I have heard other people so no that it is 50 I have a felling that we don't really now has 10-15 compared to 50 is quite a big difference. But 50 sounds to high though I don't know how movies could make money if that was true. I mean if you look at sm 1-3 witch where extremely successfully they made about 2.5 billion and the bugedt for the 3 movies combined was like 650 then the markting was probly like 450 so that would be 1.1 billion so now you would already be down to 1.4 billion so if they only got half that would only be 700 million and people say that outside the usa they get even less so that would mean that sm 1-3 would have not even made 700 million combined that just dosnt sound right to me. Also I have heard that the reason movie theaters charge so much for candy and popcorn and soda is because they get so little of the ticket money and that makes a lot of sences. It they really get 50 then why dose it cost like $15 for just a middum popcorn and soda? I alrease heard that is how they make money is the snacks not really the movies them self.
