Why Terrible Movies Always Come Out In February 

🤔

Haha

I got a verbo ad earlier that was advertising vacation rental properties and they said the best part about it is watching the game

'Wasting time with your family'

Probably the nicest quality bonding time that some troubled families have, because they can hang out without talking much

@Tsubaki Chan that was my favorite part of the video as well!

I think movie theater employees hate working at movie theaters simply because they work at a movie theater

@@ferretappreciator I worked at a movie theater and it wasn’t so bad. But yeah it sucked working during the holidays

@Tsubaki Chan Allahu Akbar

As an ex-movie theater usher who started at Christmas and did a second Christmas, YES to all this!

I miss giving movies as gifts.

@@ranelgallardo7031 oh that is for certain, I remember my mom would always buy me some kind of fun superhero movie on Christmas

Even today a good quality Torrent file is available in September or October, if the movie was released in summer

@@muhammadmahd6429 because those torrents are ripped from dvds/blu-rays.

we still have dvd/blu ray releases and digital releases which come earlier. That logic still applies

omg a fellow cultured individual i see

I’m just realizing if my birthday party was movie related it was because of the movie being released near my bday

They Thought it would flop, They were so wrong.

wait that was in *2014?*

@@Attaxalotl yes

As a cis white male, I kind of winced. I don't think we're supposed to be using that word. edit: I've realized that I made an assumption that Sam is also a cis hereto male when I included him in the above "we" statement. Kind of presumptuous of me.

@@fadeawayX as a gay man it made me laugh I’ll allow it in this instance 😌

@@dyjaba123 not offensive at all. I always get a smile when I hear the str8s use our vocabulary, especially when they know how to use it properly and especially especially when it’s got just a bit of shade like what Sam did here.

@@fadeawayX I mean I wouldn't be totally cool with a cishet person using it without understanding it at all, but like, nah this was pretty spot-on and funny :p Also, unless I missed something, who's to say Sam is cishet too? 🤔

@@fadeawayX yeah I'm kind of shocked. I'm a cis white male and i was kind of blown away that he did that, definitely not cool. Timothee played a gay dude in some movie with Armie Hammer but he doesnt identify as gay. This channel is technically supposed to be educational too.

Since Ana de Armas won't be my valentine in this life or the next, I could at least watch a movie starring her.

Who cares about Valentines day? Oo

@@frankkobold Usually those who don't have a partner care more about the Valentines than those who have one.

@@soundscape26 fair enough. Im not doing anything on that day on principle

The Hercules films likely got greenlit after the success of the Clash of the Titans remake in 2010. Hollywood tends to look at what's popular and tries to duplicate it, but films can take several years to make, so you have to look a few years back to find the success they're trying to duplicate. Like how for several years after Dances with Wolves came out, Hollywood made a lot of Westerns to try and capitalize on it. The indies may have expanded from a December limited release to a wider January release. They can't compete with the December blockbusters, but want to get released before the Oscar cutoff for the year. So they then expand in January after the December blockbusters are winding down and get a lot of "it's new to me" viewers.

@Tsubaki Chan 我不喜欢你。

@Tsubaki Chan ...

You still haven't changed your name and u have been seeing your comments since 2019

That said, Die Hard is still the greatest Christmas movie ever made.

That's so it's greatness could be put out on VHS in time for Christmas.... Playing the long game

Bingo

Yeah that was a critical hit

look up a photo of Sam-he knows what a twink is

I had to go back and put captions on I was too stunned to speak

Why though? It's a pretty common phrase these days.

twink-le twink-le little star

what

It’s Twink

Not true. I really dislike Marvel/Disney and Apple. I prefer DC (i.e. Superman and Batman) and Samsung/Droid. I get it. Because Marvel is the "in thing", people will watch their movies to stay in the know... People want Apple phones to have the popular phone. Me, That is the reason why I don't care.

@@matthewjbauer1990 What do u mean "not true"? You're not "people", ur a nobody.

@@rendezvousonmemorylane I am a "person" not part of "people" and I don't follow crowds.

@@matthewjbauer1990 "The people" obviously doesn't mean "literally every human being in existence". By the way, quit being an insecure sheep who tries too hard to form your identity around avoiding everything popular.

@@matthewjbauer1990 “as an asian i can drink milk, but i chose not to.” Sounds like your following your cultural crowd huh?

I can still see it for some reason. The video currently has 89 dislikes.

@@haroeneissa790 how can you do that? Outdated RU-vid app?

@@MsZiomallo I can also see the dislike count. Im on PC btw

I can still see it. I haven't updated YT yet.

@@MsZiomallo my youtube mobile app automatically updates. Maybe it depends on the country or maybe it is different on mobile compared to pc. I have no idea to be honest.

No they're not the same guy. Common misconception.

Half as interesting, twice as entertaining

but Sam from Wendover and Sam from HAI are two completley different people? What are you talking about

that personality brings out the worst jokes

🤟🏼

ENDLESS TRASH

They haven't made a new Fuck You, It's January in like 5 years and that fact makes me sad at least once a month.

Finally someone said it

@@stephenweber886 That's because now it's "Fuck you it's FOREVER!"

Yeah, Dune only got released last week here in Australia

Australian seasons being flipped means a lot of Australian kids are probably seeing prestige films on their summer breaks.

You beat me to this comment by 7 hours. :)

I have stopped watching football altogether.

@@ResoluteMujigae why

@@User31129 Well, they threw a curveball at me by introducing an extra game to the schedule, which in my opinion is not necessary. Also, I have gotten so into MLP that it caused me to spiral out of control and set up a brand new mindset.

Never knew free movie pass was a thing

@@zakosist If you're near any AMC theaters, they offer their Stubs pass... 3 free movies a week in any theater (Dolby and IMAX included) for $25 a month. Not free, but the closest you'll get

@@mindcontrolization I don't think they would be available in the holidays

Glad you mentioned this, saved me the effort.

Exactly.

what's that schedule?

Well, it is catered to an USA calendar (like USA holidays such as Thanksgiving and Labor Day) so it will make sense that it is mainly a US phenomenon (like Black Friday)

It's really not incredible.

Maybe because Holidays, the school year and when people have more money depends on every country's particular situation?

The French school schedule runs from September to July and 3 weeks off for Christmas, Easter and late winter. Along with Bastille day being later than the 4th of July which in the U.S is the end of the blockbuster release schedule. France itself having a large domestic industry of French language. That’s my guess but I want more details.

This is not a bad concept, actually. It's way more topical and relevant than it appears.

have i found a teenage girl or a nyc gay? please answer

@@jbed6 not you eating me up like that omg but i’m actually a mexican gay lol

no i actually screamed this is the farthest environment i imagined to hear that in

Honestly we just hung ours up with 3M strips because they wanted like $40 for more single use magnets.

Many are just their to be scarified to the bigger films. I actually saw the Playmobil movie in a theater on a Friday afternoon and I was literally the only one their.

ayyy, february birthday buddies! when's yours? 👀

Coincidence? I think not!

February is "Black History Month" and this is the type of corporate thinking that Disney engages in. You want a black cast superhero movie, you get it in Black History Month. Look at how cool are we!

@@theotheronethere4391 the coincidence leads to better marketing

I'm not convinced about that. Black Panther was already being hyped well before release precisely for its black cast, I think Disney knew they'd make decent bank at least in the US. It may have been a bit more of success than expected though.

I'm glad I didn't see that one in the cinema. One of the most average and forgettable movies I've seen .

@@theotheronethere4391 honestly, the first explanation seems more credible but yours is a perfect alibi

Yeah, that's a stupid system.

Is this real? It sounds like the type of think that would happen in America

That would be a frustrating system, at most jobs I've worked here in the Netherlands you usually get all the hours to spend at the start of the year. And in my last two jobs at least they have been valid for 2 years which would avoid the problem you outlined in the first comment. People who start working somewhere halfway into the year and/or work reduced hours per week get their hours reduced by those ratios. But there's always the option to borrow about 50 hours (on fulltime employment) from the next year with permission of the manager too. The legal requirement for the 36 hours that is considered full time employment at my current employer is 144 hours of vacation per year, there are often some extra hours on top in the CAO (collective agreement, often specific per job sector) but that will vary per CAO. However people still tend to stick to the traditional times to take their vacations: summer and the end of the year holidays. Especially if they still have children they need to drag along, you're kinda stuck with the school schedule in that case. But if that's not yet or no longer a restraint going a bit before or after the regular peaks tends to result in much cheaper trips, just gotta be a bit careful not to deviate too much in case your preferred activities there also shut down.

@@extrastuff9463 It really depends on the job. Salaried roles tend to give it all at once, hourly roles, especially ones with high turnover or erratic hours, make you accrue it.

Most jobs I have worked it's annual, but based on the date you were hired (Anniversary Date), and it does rollover up to a set amount, mostly as an incentive to use say, 2 weeks a year, not work for 5 years and use 2.5 months.

I guess that's a jab at modern movies (mostly Marvel) doing the multiverse thing.

It's in april now

Same here. Referring to Labour Day without giving a date gave me little info to work with.

My heart 💔Chadwick is gone far too soon. In his prime 😭 Yibambe!

@@qzbnyv And that he had to do all that action stuff while he was ill. It can't have been a great experience. I'm grateful for what we did have of him.

Wasnt a very good movie so it belonged there. Rest in peace tho

Black Panther was garbage only enjoyed by blacks and the woke left who lied that they liked it. Seriously how the fuck did they take how awesome Black Panther was in Civil War and turn him into a condom filled with jelly for the fight scenes in the Black Panther film?

In the last 5-10 years studios have been really pushing to open up the calendar. See; the creep of blockbuster season from basically just June and July all the way forward to April.

Super Bowl LV was the last Super Bowl I will ever watch. Although almost EVERYONE in my family and school are football fans, I am a major exception. Due to the addition of a 17th game, which messes up the win precentages I have known for years, combined with the fact that I became a major MLP fanatic this year, I have stopped watching football.

@@ResoluteMujigae Your love for My Little Pony killed your love of football. I respect it XD

Well, Saturday is quite plausible, isn't it? For the Wednesday ... Well, who knows.

Yet Tom Scott releases on a monday.

Trust me as a dumb person I get the most notifications on Saturday mornings. I think the uploaders just want their video in people's queue for the weekend when they get bored and jump on RU-vid.

For me Sundays and Mondays are the days I get buried in notifs, and it tapers down to nothing by Thursday.

Yup, it might well have done better at a less competitive time of year.

UHF should have had an October or April release. Weekend at Bernie's is another one that should not have been a summer release. Studios have largely refined and tweaked best case release dates. Tyler Perry made January profitable for his films. It's undeniable that his films cater to a particular audience, and this audience just happens to be heavily concentrated in a region which isn't as affected by atrocious winter weather ruining road conditions to the cinema. His films probably could have worked out almost any time of the year, but January ensured that they could get as many targeted screens and showtimes as they needed without competing against ultra wide release blockbusters. The theatre I frequented several years ago actually changed what film it could show in a single auditorium from showing to showing. I presume this gave them more flexibility to stagger longer and shorter films for maximum availability and time variety. All of the artwork and the like were completely digital in the foyer. It was neat seeing what technology has accomplished in small ways.

That would involve work and respect for their audience, so they won't do it.

But then who will make the next Atlantic Rim movie?

If there was a way to accurately predict if a movie would be both good and successful, studios would do it. As it is, even if one starts with a good script, movies are such a large collaborative effort where so much can go wrong, it can sometimes seem a miracle any movies even get completed, let alone are made well. Also, studios are mainly interested in making money, and good movies fail all the time, so they're more concerned with making successful movies, but audience tastes seem impossible to predict and change with the winds. Not a film, but look at Tiger King, which exploded in popularity in a way nobody could've predicted. But now Tiger King 2 is out, and nobody cares, even though it's more of the same. Tiger King was in the right place at the right time and was what many people wanted at the exact time it came out: a trashy distraction at the time so many other films/shows were on hold. But now for the second season, there isn't the same audience there anymore. So one can't even depend on past success to predict future performance. And sadly, cheap knockoffs like Atlantic Rim are made cheaply enough and sell just well enough to keep getting made. There's enough people that aren't that critical about their viewing experiences that if it doesn't cost that much, it can be profitable.

Art is subjective dear

@@marsilies Yeah, making a successful movie is very different from making a good movie.

Deadpool: “Hi!”

It was also the last thing I saw in a theater before the lockdowns. I still can't believe I'm coming up on two years since setting foot in a movie theater.

@@dylanattix2765 bro the last thing I saw in theaters was rise of shitwalker, which was the worst thing I've seen in theaters and definitely worse than the 2 worst movies I've seen this year, the adventures of baron munchausen and platoon

Ah, yes, the one movie of 2020.

@@dylanattix2765 Same here.

Why can I still see them

I remember seeing a really big cardboard cutout lobby sign for Pride & Prejudice & Zombies and I do not remember seeing any screen ads for them in tv or on RU-vid. And I somehow got a second hand copy of it on DVD that I think someone pawned off on me 😂

Barbie had a ton of those and its likey to have at least one Oscar win.

Thanks for mentioning it! We often forget other people‘s lives and just focus on ourselves

Don't care.

Maybe choose another profession then

Well now I feel bad because I took my brother to see the new Ghostbusters literally yesterday over thanksgiving break and there was barely anyone there, and now I see why. Sorry

@Tsubaki Chan WTF?!?! First on sports videos, and now THIS?! WHY?!?!?!

I’m actually kind of interested in the global movie schedule. Do the Czechs simply in the summer watch English language films and during the holidays it’s Czech ones? Or is there more seasonality.

@@Marylandbrony oh no no no, i didnt mean language, i meant czech made its rare to see movies in english here and if you do find some, its ussually some artistic ones or ones by students, not big budget ones as for seasons, summer and christmas is ussually the time for czech ones, but thats mostly to get as much sales as possible, when it comes to outside made stuff, well, its whenever the dub is made, so ussually a few days to a week later than the world premiere

It also explains China's main blockbuster season as well. The other being in early October.
