What a fukkin time. I have to salute Marvel for this, they really made a bunch of D list characters more relevant than a combo of fukkin batman and superman :wow: what a fukkin time brehs

this is the most damning thing of all. there's no way this should be happening.

this is the only evidence that you need to see that snyder is not the right man for the job.

You do realize they would have to re-market the film, adding millions more to an already high marketing budget. That, along with having to split any profits with a theater, would eat into any revenue they brought in with a re-release.

And there is no guarantee the re-release wouldn't bomb during the summer, after word of mouth was so bad from the general public. DC stans would go but good luck convincing Joe Smoe, his Wife Jane Smoe, and the kids to pay $50 to see something they just saw 3 months ago, when Finding Dory or X-Men is out.:camby:

I doubt WB is that stupid. Save that shyt for your bluray release and eat there. I think the home market sales will be good.

if the marvel movies can make 1b-1.5b in this climate i fully maintain that a great batman/superman movie could have made 1.5b-2b.
I think you need to make the characters and actors playing them more established, well known and likable in the role. Just putting them in a movie together alone isn't enough. Even if the recent movie was a gem I do think 1 billy to 1.5 was the ceiling because this is another new Batman and Cavill is like barely known and not synonymous with Superman. Being characters that people know and like would make a confrontation meaningful.

i just cant see them being foolish enough to release an even longer cut of a movie no one wants to see again anyways.

If WB/DC and Zach Snyder played it more humble maybe people wouldn't be pointing and laughing now. They made the claim, 'We are different than the current superhero movies cause we have icons, not flavor of the month heroes like Antman.' Or purposely trying to release it the same day as A Marvel movie.
And yeah Supes and Bats may be the most recognizable but check the scoreboard who is getting the most love out here? Financially and critically the people have moved on.
Tony Stark guarantees a billion and a fresh tomato. :smugdraper:

has nothing to do with humble....if he came out graveling, timid, etc., people would still be pointing/laughing if the movie didnt reach whatever level of success they had set in their heads and/or whatever reason they felt like using to do that.....anyway, what he says is the truth: they are dealing with icons, but that worked against them...while synder was banking on people knowing supe/bats, he's introducing his take on those characters....which arent the established characters people know....that's why you see the main complaint being 'that's not the *insert character - supe, bats, lex, ww, etc.* i expected/know'...

people have moved on? lol if you say so...the draw of supe & bats isnt their box office draw...like i stated: they've never been box office draws like that....with that said: BvS beat every marvel movie except 3...i think that says the people havent moved on like you claim....

right, i'm saying in a perfect world where the characters were fully realized and held down by well capable actors.

that movie dominates.

just said the same thing about established characters and how that worked against the film...

bro literally everything about this post is false.

1. "dealing with icons works against them"

this movie made 160 mil opening weekend is purely out of brand loyalty. the exact same movie re-titled darkman v ultraman: dawn of justice doesn't do a fraction of the gross. ask the makers at disney if they have a problem making movies about established icons.

2. "he's introducing his take on those characters....which arent the established characters people know....that's why you see the main complaint being 'that's not the *insert character"

yea, because zach's version of these characters are terrible. in fact these characters PERIOD are terrible. undeveloped, underwritten, and underutilized. they are walking plot devices.

3. "the draw of supe & bats isnt their box office draw...like i stated: they've never been box office draws like that...."

superman the movie was a colossal box office hit and so was batman 89. the nolan trilogy was grossing billions. these characters are both proven box office attractions. even superman returns which looked like dogshyt from the trailers opened up huge that year. also don't forget that the announcement of this movie a few years back almost broke the internet for a day.

If bvs with WW don't touch 900, how the fuk JL going to touch 1 billion
By being a dope movie. If it's dope af, gets the great reviews, it can cross a billy. We shall see if they learn from the mistakes but then again with JL already filming, depending on the script it could be another shakey release. I hope not.
