Where do you live that first run movie theater tickets are six dollars? In New York the average movie ticket is 16$ the cheapest first run theater is 9$ but it's not the best. At least they serve beer.

Give me a VOD and I will be all over that.

Watched this today it was funny, not as disrespectful to North Korea as I anticipated. It wasnt as good as this is the end but a decent movie and im thankful to be able to watch it at home for $6 bucks versus driving to an overcrowded theater during the holiday season.

Good movie, a lot of "What the fuck....." moments. Funny as fuck.

Torrented it but will rent it on youtube so Sony gets their fair cut for making me laugh.

Saw it.

It was a slapstick comedy.

It had its funny parts, but overall was nothing really special.

Still, amazing there was so much drama over the release of this film.

Great Viral marketing for a subpar movie Sony

Sony "honey dicked" us.

Glad I didn't see it in the theater - has too much of that insufferable crowd-pleasing humor.

Watched it online. Sub-par at best considering the insane amount of hype it received.

It had some stretches without laughs but overall I really liked it. Watched it with two other people for $6 total instead of $36.

Maybe not a publicity stunt but SONY didn't let a "good opportunity go to waste". After the twin towers fell that site become the most corrupt development play in American history. To much shady stuff went down to erect the new Fredome Tower but the snakes didn't come out until a unforseen event happened to open the door.

SONY and the other big Studios have been musing how to go direct to consumer for s long time. This is the future as media corps look more and more to bypass traditional outlets. They got hacked but likley decided to use this as a testing ground to see how much people will pay for a over hyped blockbuster. Watch by next summer as another big blockbuster will follow suit.

I saw the movie today. It was available online through google play. It was a pure slapstick comedy. It had a few funny moments but overall was just meh.

There was a lot homosexual moments that frankly I found very unnecessary. This movie along with 22 Jump Street had a lot homoerotic moments that leaves me wondering if these actors are switch hitters.

I think their premise is that they found gayness funny when in fact it's a disgusting behavior.

More boobs and less dicks please

Watched it last night.

Decent enough slapstick.

Don't regret the 2 hours of my life i used up.

I watched it last night. I thought it was pretty funny. It had several LOL moments. Not bad for $6.

Post: #141

I watched it this morning. It was pretty funny. But it was full of gay humor, butt sex, sticking things in anuses.
Not something I'd want my kid to see that's for sure. Not to mention pedestalation of beta/closet gay males.
Lotsa gay stuff. At one point one of the characters was forced to shove a small missile into his ass and they
made a joke about it saying he got fucked by Robocop. They even showed 2 guys kissing for god's sake.

I know it's a comedy but anything closely resembling Alpha male behavior or authority was mocked as being crazy.

Post: #142

Evidently they edited out a gay orgy scene as well.

I also watched it last night. Not sure why the North Koreans got so bent out of shape about it. If I was a North Korean leader, I would have found "Team America" much more belittling.

Overall, the movie was funny but by no means did it live up to the hype.

This crap movie is featured on YouTube.

I wanted more Korean tittties. We only got a brief flash.

Post: #146

Looks like it has made 18M so far. 15 online and 3 in theatres.

I liked it. I think there was unfair expectations put on the movie by the Sony Hack. I went in expecting another Joe Rogan comedy, and really enjoyed it. Like The Great Dictator with more gay jokes. Might write an article on it.

Post: #148

Looks like Roger and Franco are on a gay agenda. In every movie they give out a weird gay-ish bromance vibe, this time they kissed and acted like it's nothing, just bro's celebrating. This is worse than gay propaganda. This is normalizing straight guys kissing on the mouth.



Faggots

The "publicity stunt to move digital" hypothesis doesn't make a single bit of sense.

They had 2 million rentals/purchases in the first 3 to 4 days, which they made $15 million on. That's fucking AWFUL for a movie with this amount of hype. "Neighbors", another Seth Rogen comedy with a fraction of the publicity, did $50 million in its opening weekend earlier this year.

Just translating that 2 million number to theaters, at an average of $10 a ticket, that's 25% more in revenue.

The kicker is that each of those purchases/rentals is paying for 2 to 10+ people to see the movie -- and multiple times -- whereas a ticket is just one person.

And the people who see it in theaters don't own the movie. If they want to watch it a second time or show it to a friend, they have to pay again, whether in theaters or once it's released on DVD, etc.

Plus, the theaters don't take a cut first week and only get small percentages from then on. They make most of their money on concessions.

Then consider that the movie was downloaded illegally AT LEAST 50% more than it was downloaded legally. I'd estimate it was closer to 100 to 200%, at about 4 to 6 million illegal downloads.

That's fucking HUGE. Releasing movies digitally guarantees that a quality rip will be available to pirates day 1, as opposed to now, where some movies don't even have quality copies until the movie hits DVD, and it's still very rare at release.

With this movie, everybody who wants to see it will already own it a month or two from now, whereas it would possibly still be in theaters the other way. So after the movie had already made more money in theaters, it hits the DVD/digital market, where it makes even more money on top of that.

Not to mention the hit to the international market they'd take by going completely digital. You think people in most non-Western countries are going to pay you $15 to download something online?

If this movie didn't have this impossible to replicate publicity, the digital release would have been a complete and total disaster. Not to mention the other Sony movies the pirates leaked or the lawsuits filed against them.

I got honeydicked when I watched this movie.
