Edit: i am well aware that Iron lung was a financial success lol. This is not meant to be taken seriously
More cheap movies and tv shows please
It actually made about $17.8 million domestically and $21.7 million worldwide. So on opening weekend it has already made seven times the cost of making the film.
I don’t watch YouTubers and know nothing about Markiplier except memes, but it’s good to see successful independent film of any sort. Congratulations to those who take chances.
If there’s anyone that deserves it, it’s Mark. He’s easily one of the most genuine and down-to-earth creators on the platform, and it’s awesome to see his filmmaking goals finally come to fruition.
Its so heart warming to see someone that won’t just drink his own piss, he’ll drink his friends as well.
$3 mil to make, $25 mil at the box office.
Its already financially successful a few days after its opening.
Note: I know jack shit about markiplier, this movie, or the game its apparently based on. I was curious and looked it up.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Lung_(film)
In the United States and Canada, Iron Lung was released alongside Send Help, Melania, and Shelter. The film opened with $3.5 million on Thursday previews and was initially projected to make $9–10 million domestically on opening weekend.[2] After an $8.9 million opening day including Thursday previews,[43] projections were increased to $14–17 million.[44][45] The film opened with an estimated $17.8 million from 3,015 theaters per Variety and Deadline; Markiplier Studios did not report official figures.[46][47][48]
whos this guy?
Markiplier’s just his handle on YouTube. His name is Mark Fischbach, he streams horror games, is widely credited as the streamer who catapulted FNAF to fame, and his mother is a North Korean escapee. He has a lovely wife, Amy, and a dog named Chica. He branched out from gaming and has made a few made-for-YouTube skit series and stories. A couple years ago, he and a friend named Ethan Nestor-Darling (CrankGameplays) made an experimental channel called Unus Annus, where they pretty much just did odd and offbeat things for a year and then deleted the entire thing. It was wildly popular.
His superpower is that he is such a genuinely good and normal dude that he has never been canceled by his fans. No kid touching, no crypto scams, no NFT shit, no suicide forest video, no game show challenge that violates the Geneva Conventions, nothing.
a YOUTUBE influencer who apparently has a background in film. IT seems alot of youtubers have some sort of filming background(alot of washouts)
Mark Iplier
He and some other cool people made a movie recently. It was done independantly too which is pretty cool imo
oh I always thought it was some joke about pliers… thanks for sharing! <3
I watched it, actually pretty good, the first adaptation ofa video game I’ve seen that’s any good, and it was an itch io game
There have been a handful of game adaptations that are good, some of the ones that come to mind are the Sonic movies and the Fallout show. Detective Pikachu and the Mario movie were also pretty good, but I know some people have issues with them
What about Arcane?
And Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
Castlevania nailed it IMO
I genuinely wasn’t expecting to be as invested in the story of the Forgemasters as much as i was.
Right, Arcane is another really good one!
The game was made by the same guy who made Dusk, and is currently making Gloomwood.
Same, thoroughly enjoyed it
Do you need to know the game to enjoy the movie?
The movie actually gives you more context and information on the setting than the game itself does. The developer was one of the script consults.
No, you’ll be confused watching either
Sitting on a park bench, snot is running down his nose, eyeing little girls with bad intent, greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes. Hey Iron Lung!
Aqua.
Hey Aqualung.
Thanks for the earworm! /j
Now I need to go listen to Jethro Tull again haha
Guys I think the jokes supposed to be that our brains autocorrected it to say “23 mil” similar to the real number. But it actually says just 23 dollars which would be silly.
And that would be lower than the current record-holder for Lowest Domestic Box Office, Zyzzyx Road, which brought home $30. It needed to technically have a theatrical run in order to pay the actors below SAG minimum, so it technically did.
Wiki says
It was a financial success, grossing $24.9 million against a production budget of $3 million.
Confused look???
The joke is that the post doesn’t say millions
Bro what I’m the only one that paid for a ticket this is bullshit.
Ah, how far we’ve come
Is the movie available for purchase on Itch.io or something?
“I owe the LA Gangs so much money! I’m a deadman for sure!”
He makes a ton of money from YouTube and has no investors to pay back, so I think he’d be sad but okay about it. He just wanted it on the big screen.
