and ive read middling reviews from "critics" on this movie where they cant even really say why they didnt like it (see avclub)

So conjecture

Gotcha famb

-This movie is barely being shown in theaters, and was hardly marketed.

But the only reason a white person would not go out there way to see in a theater is because it deals with black people and an uncomfortable topic. Makes perfect sense, because I never see white folk positively talking about shows/movies like that, like lets say, The Wire

Yep, you never see that :rolleyes

the wire is your example? really? 

i would gave you credit if you said maybe selma, or the help as movies not accessible to white ppl that they still went and saw and gave positive reviews to

but the wire? as if america isnt already "fascinated" with "inner city drug culture"

and "white plate" was a metaphor for movies of this type that are palatable to white ppl (see blood diamonds, invictus, hell even the air up there

a) Like the Wire is just all bout just glorify inner city drug culture. Like it didn't show the machine that drives those horrible outcomes :rolleyes :lol:

b) Why would anyone go down and see the movie in theaters (one that might be playing far away mind you), when they can watch it comfortable from home whenever they please

That's doesn't even make logical/economic sense. Hell as a black man I'm going to do that.

If you didn't understand that The Wire had MANY more layers than just "inner city drug culture," then I dunno what to tell ya.

Maybe it was a bit too complex for some folks.

im not saying thats all the wire had to offer

im saying thats why white people were fascinated by it

we all know the reasons why, we didnt need the wire to show us anything

its because thats the excuse theyre going to use to not make/produce/disrtibute movies like this

if people were to go that length to support then economically it would make sense for them to make more
 
they as in the jews  ppl that produce/market/distribute movies

and how is this movie going to make revenue on netflix when netflix is subscription based? 

like its already part of netflix catalogue so everyone who has netflix aint payin to see this movie

ppl aint gonna sign up for netflix JUST to see this movie

the only way it makes money is in theaters

What? White people love the wire. :lol: **** outta here with nonsense and trying to compare that to this
 
what point are you trying to make because my point is that this is EXACTLY the kind of movie that white ppl (racist or not) need to see
 
i never said anything about white ppl not caring about black struggles

i said its because its an all black movie, ie no whites in the cast 

edit: if anything, i said whites like to themselves represented in these kind of movies, esp when theyre the "white savior"

but also, i suspect they like to see white on black violence as well

Netflix paid them 12 million for the distribution rights

The movie only cost 6 million to make

All the theater money is gravy.

They doubled up famb

So then it is their fault for selling the movie to Netflix and not another studio

If Netflix is all about providing new content for its subscriber base, that's all they been talking about

If the movie is highly watched and highly rated. Why won't Netflix be open to funding more content like this?

Cause what?...........................................................................white people? :rolleyes

Netflix is undercutting them doe

How the hell is the theater gonna make money when in the first month most of the revenue go to the studios , and in the remaining months when hype has died down the movie is still available easily online

You're mad at the theater's cause they didn't give screen time to a movie they're hardly going to make money off of

It is a business famb, not a charity

call it charity call it whatever you want

the movie got blackballed until netflix picked it up

just because consumers have the option doesnt mean that ppl still wouldnt go out and see it

how much promotion is netflix going to give this movie?

my whole point is more movies like this need to be made, but theyll point to ticket sales before netflix views when deciding to make more like it

netflix might be on the ball and pick up more like it

or they may decide that going after movie theaters with original films isnt worth it and stick to tv shows?

-The movie is the currently looks like it one of the most popular items on the site right now, and has a near perfect rating. So unless Netflix is stupid, all signs point to this going well for them, so it should encourage them to pick up more content like this

-This movie got blackballed before Netflix picked it up? Because everything I have read is that happen after the Netflix deal because it violate the 90 day rule. If I'm wrong, then post a link confirming that so I can be disabused of my ignorance. SRS. Because that truly changes things

-And this movie only cost 6 million. With the Netflix deal alone it doubled up, ticket sales is gravy. So now a movie that earns more than double what it cost, and is a critical success, will somehow be looked upon as something that should never be repeat again

By who exactly?..............................................oh yeah, I forgot................................... "they"
