Was the nutrition panel influenced by Lemmy?

I don’t want to throw out baseless accusations, but my gut tells me that this image is AI generated.

They already sold the distribution rights to Ketchup Entertainment. WB can’t write off the movie even if they wanted to.

Doof is the bad guy. I don’t know why he and Perry are having tea, I just looked up a random image of them. It’s out of context.

Phineas and Ferb.

I think it’s just the 4K.

The Universal Blu-ray appears to have the acene, but I’m not sure about the Arrow release.

So, I take it this earns your…seal of approval?

Feels so good to finally have an official PeerTube app.

Movie budgets usually don’t include the marketing costs, as that information is almost never revealed to the public. But to find out how much money a film would need to be profitable, a good guess is to multiply the budget by 2.5.

For example, a $100 million film would need to make at least $250 million to break even.

But this isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, as no one can really be certain of the marketing budget.

EDIT: Typo.

I’d be interested in a breakdown of the box office for these films.

Ask and ye shall receive.

• Venom (2018)
  • Budget: $100-116 million
  • Box office: $856,085,161
• Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)
  • Budget: $110 million
  • Box office: $506,863,592
• Morbius (2022)
  • Budget: $75-83 million
  • Box office: $1 morbillion $167,460,961
• Madame Web (2024)
  • Budget: $80 million
  • Box office: $100,498,764
• Venom: The Last Dance (2024)
  • Budget: $120 million
  • Box office: $472,812,792

So, in total, Sony spent $485-509 million on all the films, and they have made a combined $2.1 billion.

The highest grossing SSU film was the first Venom movie, and they seem to have been chasing that high ever since. Their lowest-grossing movie (so far) is Madame Web.

So it appears that over time, the SSU movies have been making less and less money with each release (with the exception of Venom 3).

Because he’s a Green Lantern.

Sony was transparently making minimally viable products to keep the valuable IP rights.

I could be wrong, but I don’t think the SSU movies are part of their contract with Marvel. It only applies to live-action Spider-Man films (in which Spidey is the main character).

Which means that they had no obligation to make these movies, but still chose to do so anyway. They are making these villain spin-offs because they want to, not because they have to.

Just the thought of Sony making completely unnecessary villain movies, not out of any contractual obligation, but because they genuinely believe that they can ride the coattails of the MCU…to me that’s too funny to pass up.

While Android is an free and open-source operating system, it doesn’t follow the Free Software philosophy of sharing information. Android is becoming increasingly locked-down to those without technical expertise, to the point where the only way to get a truly “open” Android phone is to buy a Pixel.

In other words, Google wants to reap all the benefits of making Android open source, but they don’t seem to want to contribute or give back to the community, which is the entire spirit of open source.

If this is the “best of the trilogy”, then I’d hate to see what the worst is!

(Joking aside, I saw all three movies and love them.)
