What unpopular opinions do you have?




honestly..I think I'm more annoyed by the fact that all this happened when a white person got jacked...blacks been getting robbed and beaten and the response was always :dunno:

as soon as cac gets hit..now we got the national gaurd walking the streets. The fucked up part is if crime goes down and those quality of life issues (noisy dirt biking, teens run rampant, stinkin ass weed smoke everywhere etc) improve..it will only prove the white nationalists point.
 
* regardless of all the bullsh*t youtube and twitter movie experts say? And no matter what EQUATION you want to rely on. It aint THAT easy to figure out IF a movie is profitable or not (BY DESIGN!). So concerning ourselves too much with grosses and budgets is a waste of time if we want ACCURACY.
production plus marketing times 1.5 equals your break even point for movies

or
production budget multiplied by 2.5


Breaking down movie profitability
You're right to connect production and marketing costs to a film's break-even point.
However, the calculation is more nuanced than simply multiplying those costs by 1.5. Here's a breakdown of how break-even is generally considered in the movie industry:
  • Production Budget + Marketing Costs: These are the foundational expenses that need to be recouped.
  • Box Office Revenue Split: The studio doesn't keep all the box office revenue. Theaters typically keep a significant portion, roughly 50% in the US, with varying percentages internationally.
  • The "Multiplier Rule" for Break-Even: While studios don't publicly disclose exact break-even figures, a common rule of thumb is that a movie needs to gross 2 to 2.5 times its production budget at the box office to break even, accounting for both production costs and marketing expenses. Some argue this multiplier can be closer to 3 for big budget films due to higher-than-average marketing and/or a lower percentage of the total box office compared to previous years.
  • Beyond the Box Office: It's important to remember that a movie's break-even point is not solely dependent on theatrical box office performance. Additional revenue streams like home video sales, streaming rights, and licensing deals also contribute significantly to profitability.
In essence, while the production cost multiplied by roughly 1.5 accounts for production and a standard marketing estimate, you need to factor in the box office split and other revenue streams to accurately determine a film's overall break-even point.
It's a complex calculation, often shrouded in studio accounting practices that can make it difficult to determine the true profitability of even a highly successful film.
 

In short, Joe's a piece of shit.

Their contract may state that they were owned a certain amount and I respect that.

No they weren't partners, they were employees by Joe. But when business improves, some should their pay.

If you're into doing good business and rewarding your employees.

But Joe's right, they weren't "Entitled" to anything.

All this.
 
Well gawd damn. You probably right about that.

But I mean real women unregulated sex workers can have a high rate STDs too.

Maybe just don't sleep with prostitutes? Especially in unregulated countries? (Phillipines is kinda iffy with the legalities)
Unless they are fucking biological women with HIV or AIDS in the ass and it tears and bleeds on them it’s either gay sex or they unlucky as fuck. Vaginal transmission of HIV is 1.7% out of every 1000 times you have intercourse and that’s with a person WITH HIV. Also most Sex workers in those countries are tested by the government. Panama for example have doctors come by and administer routine STD and HIV tests because it’s a legal business .

Unless you’re doing back alley randoms in the ass well. Professional Sex workers probably have less STD’s than your random Ho because this is their career and having diseases fucks up their business .

I'll take your word for it.

I personally never saw it was worth the risk.
