Why did it bomb in the box office?

Why did it bomb in the box office?

who the fuck cares about a movie like that other than people that want to fuck elle

it's for a very small and specific audience:

patient
aesthetic
familiar with louche lifestyle
being familiar with LA or French creative world helps

who would have expected it to reap millions?

Plebs can't handle kino

It'd have been nice for it to have at least broke even though. It was a beautiful film.

because it was bad

How?

The general public is not interested in arthouse films, that's why most of them bomb at the box office and it's generally a waste of money

if you think this film requieres patience you haven't watched a lot of films

It was visually stunning and had some interesting themes and overall good performances. What was wrong with it?

It's not a waste, just because people are too simplistic about their movie choices doesn't mean they should die out.

lol you don't have to be in that shit to get into the film, it's more like if you can appreciate a modern dreamy fairy tale or not

>muh beauty
>muh photos
>muh top class
>look at this loli bitch she stealing our jobs
>love you honey, i just want us to be friends
>kill this bitch gurrls
>lets have a bloody shower sex so _~*NWR*~_ can jerk off to it later
>om nom nom eyeballs
>nooo i need to get her out of me
>lol u dead dont care tho bitch

What a fucking joke.

Because people like shitty movies. This was made to watch on a computer without having to deal with a stupid audience.

Does that horseshit you wrote actually count as criticism in your mind? Why did you even write it?

It wasn't even in the theater for a very long time. It played locally for single week.

Most people aren't going to see a film they didn't see a trailer for between the latest episode of the Kardashians or SportsCenter.

it wasn't bad

but fuck it was overhyped by this place
almost ruined the movie for me

The lesbian necrophiliac made people uncomfortable.

Because theaters dropped the movie after the first weekend, literally half the theaters it was in stopped showing it after a few days so it didn't have much time to make a profit.

it made my dick hard as fuck if you know what I mean

Shame that because of the failure of it, Elle will never get a decent career in Hollywood and will have to start doing porn to make money.

Because no one knew about that because no one watched it in the first place.

Because Generation Xers are in their midlife crisis and can't understand artsy film unless if it's anything by Tarantino since the days of Pulp Fiction.

There is a depressing like of images in this thread. Here, her precious smile can light up the thread!

Why?

Honestly? What's the target audience.

oink, oink!

Refn basically made this film for himself honestly.

Instead of becoming a girl irl he made a film if he was a girl.

Maybe he was going for future cult classic

Nearly everything bombed this year. A very niche movie was bound to.

Artistic, intelligent people. In other words: not you.

>Refn basically made this film for himself honestly.

He has been doing that since Bronson
