Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Dec 15th, 2017)

My guess is nothing until the trailer on Monday.

NYCC is crap pay it no mind.

Does anybody else find it weird that San Diego is the biggest convention but New York (a place where all superheroes are from, all the movies are based on, has a bigger stadium, the birth place of the hero) has the crappiest turn out in terms of media and news and is basically **** compared to sdcc

 

[ironwez20]

She looks dumb. And the worst part, I get to see Rey again swinging her fancy light saber and that godforsaken Force to beat the **** out of Darth Maul in BattleFront 2 .

Sorry for the rant.. i will stop from now

I thought that cross era crap was just for the demo

NYCC is more of a print heavy Con

And home of Marvel lol

With Hollywood being in the gold coast it makes sense.

SDCC isn't even a COMIC con nowadays. NYCC has that advantage.

My favorite statistic:

Film industry 2016 earnings: 40 billion!

Comicbook print industry 2016 earnings: 900 million

With each big event movie costing $200 million + vs. the cost of publishing comic books, I would certainly hope there would be a wide discrepancy.

Yup.

Not to mention one is a medium that involves hundreds to thousands of people going to various locations, building complex sets, etc. and the other is some cheap paper and/or digital files created by maybe a dozen artists.

I don't actually know, but with those numbers I wouldn't be surprised if the comic industry was more profitable, at least in relative terms. Bigger return on overall investment.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Comics generated $900 million? That's a lot for a "dying" industry.

What!? Where'd you pull that number from?

It's... It's just like the 90's again.

I bet comicbook people are swimming in money, coke and whores.

In their dreams!

I was just showing ironwez why SDCC is bigger than NYCC lol

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

big number

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Wait...what was I asking about?

 

[ironwez20]

big number

I bet it’s not bigger then Grace’s . Pfft

 

[Wor-Gar]

Comic books and big asses.

 

[jye4ever]

What!? Where'd you pull that number from?

Right from Comichron and ICV2 who keep track of print and digital sales.

Actually 2015 was 1.03 billion for print but I believe it dropped in 2016.

Comic books and big asses.

Two things that go great together?

I'll have to look at that site. Thanks.

 

[jye4ever]

TFA alone earned in 2 months what took the comicbook industry 2 years to make lol.

Yup the west coast SDCC will remain king.
