I took my inspiration from that Anne and Jessica movie. After watching that trailer, my first thoughts were....who thought this was a good idea.
So which other movies, please leave trailer for receipts, did you wonder how the F did it made.

Knives Out:Glass Onion but it's more like how or why did Netflix pay $500 million for it. I'm still flabbergasted

I think this about a lot of "Geezer teasers" but at least the VOD make sense in a kind of low-risk measure. Something theatrically released like 88 Minutes just baffles me.

I never understood why Netflix wanted Knives Out. I always thought they did it to develop a relationship with Craig.

The Terror (1963) is absolutely baffling not just in how it was made but also in how it kinda sorta works all things considered.
After finishing filming The Raven, Roger Corman still had the elaborate castle set for the weekend, so he decided to not let it go to waste and just filmed Karloff, Jack Nicholson, and the rest of the cast doing various things (such as walking down the stairwell one after the other) and having random, improvised conversations and figured he’d be able to cut it all together into something cohesive eventually. Once the castle scenes were finished, it ended up needing 5 additional directors (including Francis Ford Coppola, Monte Hellman, & Nicholson himself) to film additional footage for 9 months before finally “finishing”.

And then Corman leveraged the underperformance of the movie to get Karloff to do Targets, the great debut film for Peter Bogdanovich and maybe the best movie Corman ever produced. |

Paul Scheer went to my high school, albeit more than a few years ahead of me.

Having watched it today, I truly don't understand what on earth compelled Touchstone to spend 80 (?!?!?!?) million bucks on 1998's Beloved - a 3-hour supernatural slavery drama with a fairly plotless story, highly eclectic (and I'm deliberately being very kind to Demme using that word) filmmaking and a barrage of deeply offputting elements/imagery. It's as audience-unfriendly as mainstream cinema gets, and I don't mean it as a compliment. I know that by that time Hollywood budgets started to balloon but 80 mil was still a blockbuster budget. Saving Private Ryan cost less  Did any of the financiers actually think it was gonna make that money back? Well, apparently Oprah did, since she fell into depression after the movie predictably flopped. I mean, I feel bad for her but... why the heck did she expect audiences to flock to a movie which has a dog's eye burst out of its socket in the very first scene (fucking yikes, btw)? Oh, and those who weren't impressed with Emma Stone in Poor Things should check this out to see an example of the horror show that role could've turned into with a different actress (Thandiwe Newton in this case). |
