Criminal justice, travel, politics, and movies are my thing.

@MarkMurrayBooks New projection has it at a 1.7 billion dollar finish. By your standards, is 400 million dollars not a massive success? That’s more than the film and marketing budget combined.

[Ivan @IvanTheIV_]

@MarkMurrayBooks So a couple points. The whole “theaters get 50% of sales” is misleading and the number varies. It ends up being 40-45% in the lifetime of the movie. So a 1.5 billion dollar finish in this case would be a 200 million dollar pure theatrical profit. That is a massive success.

For my Twitter audience. I went straight up the mountain. 35,000 steps 11 miles.

@OurOwnNation The hiking content is peak tbh

[Ivan @IvanTheIV_]

@MarkMurrayBooks Except it’s eyeing a 1.5 billion finish and it hasn’t even released in China yet.

@Ancient11572441 @NolanAnalyst Hey so what was that?

[Ivan @IvanTheIV_]

@USBorderPatrolx @holland_tom It has already broken even. Mind you, it releases in China (who represents 23% of the global market) on August 14th. The film will cross a billion. Be prepared to move the goalpost again.

@PeterSchorschFL I think Andrew Gillum, the man who cheated on his wife with gay prostitutes and was arrested multiple times on drug possession, miiiiiiight just be more odd than @j_fishback idk

[Ivan @IvanTheIV_]

Mind you, he works for a certain someone who owns a certain company that produces genuinely some of the worst movies in the history of cinema. Take the opinions of right wing provocateurs on art very very very lightly.

Just saw The Odyssey. Despite what you may have heard, literally all of the criticisms by conservatives were entirely correct. The movie is just as woke as you fear, if not more so. The DEI casting is atrocious. Completely takes you out of the story right from the beginning. But even worse than that is Nolan’s decision to turn Odysseus into an anachronistic whiney, solemn shell of a man plagued by “trauma” and guilt. It’s impossible to overlook these flaws because the film itself is not terribly entertaining or well constructed. For the most part it is disjointed, dull, self-serious, disenchanted, somehow feeling both verbose and overly rushed at the same time. The dialogue is some of the worst I’ve ever heard in a “critically acclaimed” film. “On the nose” and “clunky” are descriptions that can’t even begin to describe this script. At no point in the story does Nolan ever transport the audience to the ancient world. You never feel like you’re 3,000 years in the past. You feel like you’re watching modern Americans put on a pageant, because you are. Nobody would be calling this thing a masterpiece if it was made by a director not named Christopher Nolan.

@isitwokeornot It’s almost like parents aren’t taking their kids to a rated R movie wow no kidding

[Ivan @IvanTheIV_]

@GeraltofGoonia The level of cope yall are resorting to has me genuinely concerned for yalls mental health. This is not normal behavior.

[Ivan @IvanTheIV_]

@Zagonel85 Of all the delusional takes you could have, why would you pick the most delusional one of them to say?

[Ivan @IvanTheIV_]

@Zagonel85 @bosco6000000 Irrelevant. More momentum behind it as it was the finale to a three part movie and based on the 3rd highest selling books in the history of the world. Not comparable in the slightest.

[Ivan @IvanTheIV_]

@bosco6000000 I literally love bookmarking these to clown people later lol

[Ivan @IvanTheIV_]

@SirBylHolte It’s almost like…..parents are much less likely to take their children to see a rated R movie…. Cope more. Please.

@savinbness Okay you’re actually ragebaiting and low IQ
