Resident evil Afterlife Un-Delayed. Back on Track For 2010

[Canas Renvall]

Opinion != fact. Period.

[BrionIrons]

my post wasn't an opinion.it's fact.Degeneration is a better movie.

[Canas Renvall]

Sales say otherwise. Do I really have to draw them all back up again? I really should save them for moments like this...

And besides, when did you become the voice of every human being on the planet?

Edit: I suppose I'll go ahead and do it.

Movie: Gross revenue - budget costs = total profit

Resident Evil: $102,441,078 - $33,000,000 = $69,441,078

Resident Evil Apocalypse: $129,394,836 - $45,000,000 = $84,394,836

Resident Evil Extinction: $147,717,833 - $43,000,000 = $104,717,833

Looks to me like they're good enough to gain momentum with each release. So!

Resident Evil Live Action Series: $69,441,078 + $84,394,836 + $104,717,833 = $258,553,747

versus

Resident Evil Degeneration: $8,547,105 - (couldn't find budget costs. Hmmmm.... >_> ) = $8,547,105

Profit difference: $258,553,717 - $8,547,105 = $250,006,612. That's not opinion. That's a fact.

Nice one. I believe every forum in existence should have that as a disclaimer.

Indiana Jones 4 and Terminator 4 made a lot of money, too. Does that make them good movies? Who gives a flying fuck about revenue. I will say this, though, it boggles my mind that people still go to the theaters and shell out $10-15 to see those 'Resident Evil' crapfests that you call good movies, so you have a point there.

A lot of people watch American Idol, though, too.

I liked the second one. I love how they incorporated Nemesis and that scene from Code Veronica X.

Resident Evil 5 sold about 5 200 000 units.
REmake sold about 1 350 000 units.

Resident Evil 5 is better RE game than REmake, that's a fact!

But seriously, you compare movies, that could appeal everyone who likes (campy) horror/action movies and not only fans of the franchise, that star a popular actress and that were shown in theaters to a CGI movie that went straight to DVD and was made only for fans.

That's my point. There's a reason it went straight to DVD.

[BrionIrons]

Just because Anderson's movies made alot of money doesn't mean it's a good movie.

For example:Anderson Made the Alien Vs. Predator Movies and yes they made millions off it but it got very poor ratings.

Degeneration yes went straight to DVD and Blue ray but was shown at the New York horror film festival in the US and went in theathers in Japan and made less money but got great ratings.Which means another one will be made.As a matter of fact,last year Capcom was in talks of making a second movie.

also here's proof that Capcom making a mistake on giving the movie rights to Anderson.

[Canas Renvall]

He implies they made a poor decision in passing over all rights with the deal, thereby losing all ability to use 'any finished product'. As such, "in the future, we'd like to create films where we retain the rights".

The way I read that, Capcom wished they could use some of Anderson's ideas. That only helps my point. (Not to say I didn't read it wrong, I'm looking at it on my iPod Touch right now. )

[BrionIrons]

they did in umbrella chronicles.The red queen.and the laser room from the first movie.

Of course they regret giving the rights to anderson.Capcom could have done a better job on the movies.

[Canas Renvall]

^ So when the movies do it, it sucks, but when Capcom does it it's sweet? Capcom seems to think that the movies are good if they wish they had come up with those ideas (and actually ended up using them anyway). You read the article wrong. He's saying it's unfortunate that they sold the rights because he made the movies so well that they wish they could use some of the stuff from his movies (which, as previously pointed out, they did anyway).

And, in my opinion, not in fact, Degeneration is proof that Capcom should stick to games.

The movies weren't made well, besides the special effects, most of the story made no sense. If those movies were named anything other than Resident Evil, they probably would not have done so well.

[Canas Renvall]

^ Actually the story was probably the most coherent part of the films.

And again, even if you think the movies weren't made well, Capcom apparently does. Then again, in all fairness, I wouldn't really trust Capcom now...

Good. I hope it's even shittier than the first three. Then maybe more people will realise how shitty that shit was.
