guys i hated the movie but sunday was easter... that probably played into the drop a lil bit. :yeshrug:

nonetheless, i don't suspect the final gross worldwide or domestic will be earth shattering.

Maybe so but I do agree with u on last part only good to great word of mouth will give this long legs imo and it doesn't have it cuz of how critics shytted on movie which I don't agree but at same time it's been more so mixed with people on top of it so that did the trick

Just gotta learn from it and do better with the other films it's a process but we'll see tho

what would it take for them to boot snyder and terrio? is that even a possibility?

hypothetically let's say this movie makes less than a billion, or struggles to make a billion and maybe JUST gets there... do they just stay the course and hope for the best?

With the audience reviews I'm more looking at international numbers than anything to be honest with China being a big factor

I figured if it's getting panned like transformers international gross will carry this movie so I gotta wait but China numbers dropped bad also too so it could come from other countries combined but China is a biggie tho cuz they on same status as USA on movie sales almost and will surpass us in a few years

With Domestic it had to have good word of mouth and from looks of just the drop off this weekend fri to sat to Sunday the 2nd weekend won't be too good but who knows

They won't boot Terrio, Goyer is the obvious fall guy here (they've already all but removed them from the slate). Snyder is gonna be an interesting one because he's a WB guy and they won't just give up on him like that (look at how WB is still supporting the Wachowski's because of that Matrix money), but if this doesn't make the money it should be making, they'll most likely drop him out of the "Kevin Feige role" (overseer of the DCU).

In your opinion, does the studio not CARE about putting out a quality product or do they just not KNOW what it takes to MAKE a quality product?

true on Easter, but the decline from Friday to Saturday was almost 40% (38% to be exact) so it was already trending down.

They don't know. Even if there is someone that does, WB's biggest problem is that they have too many cooks in the kitchen. After the resurgence in the early 00s with movies like Blade, X-Men and Spider-Man (notice all three are Marvel?) WB caught on that comic book movies were profitable again (the last comic book movies WB had made were Steel and Batman & Robin), so they just gave out all the DC/Vertigo properties to their different associated production companies to get as many in production as possible. This is what lead to the releases of different movies like Catwoman, Batman Begins, Constantine, V For Vendetta and Superman Returns in 05/06 as well as sleeper hit 300 (not a DC property but still based on a comic book).

The only true successes were Batman Begins and 300, which is how Nolan and Snyder got the clout to do their next movies on their own terms (The Dark Knight and Watchmen), but with Avengers showing the next level of how much money could really be made, WB started looking into launching their own DCU after long time production on Justice League: Mortal had been cancelled. They tried to go for it with Green Lantern while their other production companies were still churning out unrelated shyt like The Losers and Jonah Hex. Since WB had no idea about how to handle a plan of this magniute, they promoted Geoff Johns to oversee the DCU creatively (in particular because he revived the Green Lantern comic book in the years before), but rumors suggested a lot of the big producers scoffed at some "comic book writer" handling multi-million dollar movies, so Johns never really got the clout like Kevin Feige had over at Marvel, everybody had their own ideas of what Green Lantern should be and then of course it flopped both critically and financially.

WB still had The Dark Knight Rises coming out and thus decided the DCU would be "officially" started after that release with 2013's Man Of Steel, appointing Zack Snyder (who had both financial success and fanbase praise because of 300 and Watchmen) and David Goyer (co-writer of the whole TDK trilogy) to become the new overseers as WB had started to retrieve all the properties they had handed out to production partners (a notable exception is Shazam, which is still partly in hands of New Line Cinema who have been very outspoken about the direction of Shazam being the one that both DC and they agree on). All the other DC movies will be produced under Ratpac Entertainment (WB's biggest production partner after Legendary Pictures departed to Universal).

So now we're here and although WB has managed to gather all their DC properties under one umbrella, it still isn't clear who's holding the umbrella. Goyer's pretty much out creatively (will stay on as a producer), Snyder's role as creative supervisor is on thin ice and Geoff Johns' role is still that of a glorified advisor, while their choices of directors (Ayer on Suicide Squad, Affleck on Batman, Wan on Aquaman and Lord & Miller on Flash) fall in the line of WB-guys the studio supports because of previous successes, which suggest the studio still doesn't know what it wants and is just betting on their in-house talent to get it right for them.

Even if it was 170 mil which is good
no it really isn't it's average at best. This should have done 200m
the fact that dead pool a rated r movie with a what 60 mil budget had 130 mil is just down right insane :mindblown:

Deadpool fukked all the other movies in a sense cuz it wasn't even released in China on top of it and shyt made over 700 mil with a small budget

I really like Deadpool I don't think it will be the best superhero movie this year but it put everybody on notice cuz of what it achieved
not 150? :leon:

Deadpool Box Office Records Add Biggest R-Rated Movie Ever

So it highest grossing rated r movie worldWide of all time

And it was around 130ish mil for 3 day weekend

I see what ur saying bout 200 mil but Dc was barely getting feet wet to pull that off regardless of the names in it but the word of mouth killed that possibility if I had good word of mouth it could gotten that it's how the other 200 mil movies did and cuz have established franchise on top of it

so you don't think there's anyone hired to handle quality control? its just "hire this guy and let's hope he knows what he's doing?"
