It’s not Badlands and it’s a fan made poster. It takes place in the near future, not the past.

Well what are you saying “Yep” to
🤦 duped
If you make a good movie, People will most likely go back to theater to watch it again. People will praise the movie for having great characters, great story, And a fantastic predator sign hopefully, When movies push agendas, they seem to bomb at the box office, for example Ghostbusters 2016 flopped at the box office because they pushed the movie for women and claimed that the movie was not made for men.

sorry guys my main account got suspended until monday for “violent threats” with the attached quote from a post i made: “illfonic you guys are a bunch of hypocrites. i hope someone tears out your skull and spine”
- that isnt a threat, learn how to speak
- illfonic, you guys stink. maybe if you fixed your game, your community wouldn’t be so angry with you
anyways lets not discuss the abomination we call the predator 2018, its painful to think about

Movies flop at the theater primarily because they are not marketed well. Secondary because they target the wrong demographic. And thirdly because they go over budget. Not because they have a shit story or characters. Look how Resident Evil Movies and The Fast and The Furious movies perform. Shitty story, shitty characters, but they are marketed well and target the correct demographic.
Even Marvel and DC movies, as bad as some of them can be, do not flop because of an agenda, but rather because they spend too much. A Marvel flop would be a hit on any other franchise, but the budget for most movies is less than 50 million and Marvel continues to spend over 200 million on each movie.
There is no agenda. There is just demand for a product. If you are not smart enough to target the correct audience for the product you are trying to sell, well, you will fail.
Why did Deadpool 3 was so successful? The story arc, compared to the previous 2, was shit. The character development was shit, just a collage of cameos from everywhere they could get one. It was full of homosexual innuendos and if anyone couldn’t understand that the “fight” that took place in the minivan was just a metaphor for two dudes having rough sex, well… But it still broke all the records it set out to, people loved it because it was marketed really well, and it appealed to the demographic it was targeting. So much that a sequel is almost guaranteed now.

and by the way, you guys talk about good story and characters from fucking POPCORN ACTION MOVIES… like the fucking Predator (1987) was the peak of artistic expression… JFC… Go to the movies and watch something else. Action movies are just for pure entertainment and eye candy.

Well that was kind of the point…its not about the monsters, its about Monarch and the people involved. But when you DO get the monsters, its worth it. Like the Godzilla vs. Ion Dragon fight, that was perfect

Mmm well if thas the case it was still ass lol coulda been way more interesting. I found myself tuning out the horrible characters except for maybe 2-3 and the monsters were only shown i think for less than 10 mins or somethin, someone actually took note and it was super underwhelming. If you liked it thas fine, but for me it was swamp ass after a long day of hard work in humid hot weather…and thas pretty bad lol

It’s funny by that logic then Prey isn’t pushing an agenda as people here think it is. How many times I seen in social media where both casuals and fans say they were robbed of a theatrical experience in watching Prey. In that same hand, many like myself say that they should rerelease Prey into theaters to follow Badlands like how they did for the first Alien as to follow the Alien Romulus release. People here hate Prey but overall it was undeniable that it did well critically and brought back the series from the death.

TBF I think Prey would have bombed at the Box Office.
The promotion wasn’t good.
The budget was too high (65 million).
The release date was not the best for the genre (August)
Now that it has been released, is a different story. It already collected its budget and any theatrical release would just add to the revenue.
And the budget thing is just ridiculous. Alien: Romulus, which requires far more advanced CGI, sets, costume design, AND had theatrical release which means marketing and promotion expenses, was only 15 million more. And just so you guys have an idea of the movie industry, usually half the budget of a movie is gone in advertising. It makes no sense why Prey cost so much. Pretty sure some disney+ exec is money laundering with that over inflated budget
damn you! stop talking about money! you might attract illfonic devs and they might think of another idea thats pay to win cough dutch 87 field medic cough

I didn’t have much of an issue with Prey other than her getting most of the men in her tribe killed and that final battle, other than that, it’s a decent movie

Wdym? She tried to warn them that something weird is up, they didn’t listen so she went to find out herself. They went out looking for her and instead of trying to listen to her again, with proof of a dead bear with a broken neck, they try to drag her back home. It would have been better to find out it was Feral in the woods, than have Feral eventually discovering the tribe on his own. They could have found the bear carcass, went oh shit, look for Taabe and came up with some kind of plan to kill Feral.
It barely had good promotion for Hulu, but it gotten the highest views in that month according to Hulu records AND high critical acclaim from other reviews. According to streaming aggregator Reelgood, Prey was the most watched program across all platforms during the week of August 12, 2022. According to Whip Media, Prey was the most watched movie in the United States from August 5 to August 7, 2022. It just comes to show if it’s good, word of mouth will spread and people will come. It’s ironic that a Transformers One fanboy on twitter nearly single handedly lifted the film’s attention and gotten more people to dive in.
THAT was all streaming, btw.
