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.


Knew him in high school, he was rather shy but always a nice person. It’s still surreal to see pics of him in my news feed(s) but at least he is deserving of all the success and not a shitty person.

I guess I should have tried to become better friends with him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m only just slightly incredibly jealous of him!




$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.

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]

Can we all just appreciate that movie goers would rather watch in self financed, independent movie that is about being in tiny submarine over the sloppy propganada that is Melania.



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


The game was made by the same guy who made Dusk, and is currently making Gloomwood.


Same, thoroughly enjoyed it

Thanks for the earworm! /j


Now I need to go listen to Jethro Tull again haha

For the uninitiated


Aqua.

Hey Aqualung.



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.


More cheap movies and tv shows please


Wiki says

It was a financial success, grossing $24.9 million against a production budget of $3 million.

Confused look???


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.

isnt that.,.,. most peeps online?……..

It’s notable among YouTubers, mostly because YouTubers quickly became the new emo bands. Know how it was sort of an open secret that all of the emo bands in the 00’s and 10’s were sleeping with children? And they all got canceled when the literal decades of allegations started coming to light?

Yeah, that’s YouTubers now. Especially YouTubers who make content that is popular with kids and tweens, like lots of the original Minecraft, Roblox, and Fortnite YouTubers. And Mark does well in that age demographic, so everyone was holding their breath to see if he’d ever be accused of anything. But for all intents and purposes, Mark seems to be YouTube’s version of Keanu Reeves; very down to earth, not full of himself, just wants to make content because he is driven to do so.


Yes, but not most people with several million followers. Staying human with that much fame is the impressive part.




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



a YOUTUBE influencer who apparently has a background in film. IT seems alot of youtubers have some sort of filming background(alot of washouts)




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.
