Because this, Chaos. South Park explained it quiet well.

Frederick: Sometimes children must be very firm with their daddies.
Lisa: Indeed.
Frederick: Like when Daddy doesn't want to act in a movie because he thinks the script is bad.
Lisa: So we must plead with him: [falls on her knees] "Please, Daddy, please! It's twenty million dollard, Daddy."
Daniel: [falls on his knees] "Please, Daddy, please!"
Frederick: [falls on his knees] "Twenty million is still twelve million after taxes, Daddy!"
Lisa: "I want a llama, Daddy!"
Frederick: "I'd do the picture, Daddy!"
Lisa: "Please, Daddy!"
Frederick: "Daddy, please!"
Lisa: "Daddy, do the movie, Daddy!"
Daniel: "But Daddy!" [all three rise]
Frederick: And so Daddy does the picture.

I wish they'd make a set of movies from the American McGee's Alice games instead.

The first movie was fucking terrible. How many impact craters does Johnny need in his career before he gives up on this shit.

This. Especially the sequel. It's exactly in Tim Burton's wheelhouse too.... but definitely not in Disney's.

I guess he learned his lesson from making the first Frankenweenie, which got him fired from Disney in the 80's haha.

I watched the first one on HBO a few years back and nearly everyday I think of a line from it.

"Why is it you're always too small or too tall? ?Mad Hatter (Alice in Wonderland)"

As a 34 year old male, I don't remember the last Depp movie that I saw in the theatre, if ever. I've seen 99% of them at home but I would spend the $9-20x2+popcorn/drink for this movie. Even if it was just for 1 sentence that I could remember for years.

no doubt it made money but less than people think, this was in this week's box office blurb and I thought it was interesting

Internationally, however, "Spectre" remains a juggernaut, pulling in $200 million and pushing its worldwide total to more than $300 million after two weeks in release. With a production budget of $250 million and millions more in marketing costs, "Spectre" has to pull in $650 million globally to break even.

i just don't understand how movies aren't going to collapse though, that seems insane that a movie that cost $250m to make (wtf) has to pull in $650m just to break even

They're not going to collapse because China is a new market full of eager buyers.

After they've tapped out China for growth, maybe.
