Joker is a great financial success, however...


... Warner Bros. has to split the profits with two financers (Bron Studios and Village Roadshow) since all three financed the film.

Warner Bros. thought the film would flop and therefore didn't want to finance the film completely.

That is going to be too much of a revelation for some to process.

On a production budget between $55 to $70 million another studio will see a large portion of the profits from a rather unique creative circumstance. It also suggests that WB management hasn't bought into the vision and were afraid of losses on a very small production budget. Such courage has never been seen before!!

WB only trusts Batman.

Much of the look and feel of the city was recreated and or augmented with CGI. Remember it is a period piece so many of the cars, buildings, lampposts, etc were added with CGI.

I have a question, who the hell gives a shit? Am I getting any of the money? Warner Bros isn't me and I'm not Warner Bros.

Stop pushing this late stage capitalist shit of the capitalist is the consumer and the consumer is the capitalist. I don't give a shit about how many more billions or millions a billion dollar company made. It's not relevant to me. I'm living paycheck to paycheck.

True, although anything making a profit in Hollywood that isn't Disney is good news.

Very wise words.

Well I will continue to post this kind of news because there are people who care.

You only say that you don't care because you don't like it otherwise you wouldn't make such a salty comment.

As a matter of fact I do like it. The financial success of the movie does not factor into my consideration at all.
