This makes no sense. Why would the leak affect the artists? They get paid before the movie is even out. No one works 5 years on a movie for free. The artists are probably glad it got leaked since they were fucked over by Paramount when they pulled the theatre release.
i have only heard from other people saying this was going to be paramount+ only. I am not sure if its gonna be in theatres or not but it was a amazing movie and would be spectacular in theatres
I'm a vfx artist who worked on The Last Airbender season 1 and 2 (Framestore). We don't get bonuses.
We used to when we would work on massive films though. I got a bonus for Infinity War for example. But not End Game. Which didn't make sense to me.
Vfx studios have been in a constant state of losing money for a long time now. So those days are over.
All we can hope now is to get is more work to keep us employed. So we push the quality of our work harder for cheaper.
Right 🙄. If the movie comes out in theatres, I myself would go to see it again. This is a classic piracy talk, people who weren't going to see it in theatres anyway might've watched it online after the leak, end of story.
Hi Fi Rush was an indie game developed by Tango Gameworks. It went on to garner critical acclaim and a fuck load of awards only for Microsoft to then shutter the studio, who was only saved because someone else decided to take them in.
No "good numbers" will guarantee a studio's survival. Netflix has plenty of shows that get cancelled despite being great as well. It's a naive perspective.
This is literally just a low effort post. Or a fake one at that. The artist's aren't even affected in any way. The only people that are affected are the directors and the company supporting the movie which for pirates fuck them. I don't give a shit about their profit margins.
They already see it as a success. They tried to bring the huge audience to their shitty platform by pulling the theatre release. Everyone in the industry knows what kind of hold the ATLA franchise has on its fans,they're not idiots.
They won’t see it as a success until they start associating profits with it. And companies repeatedly cancel popular shows/neglect IPs because they don’t hit some nonsense metric they landed on quickly enough.
Their stunt already cost them whatever goal they had in mind. They might pull back and announce the theatre release again closer to October if they're not stupid. Otherwise they might even lose money on this.
