Now that JOKER has reached $1 billion, how does Disney look spending $300mil per film?
- Thread starter Brian O'Conner
- Start date
Doom if they build him up correctly.
Do they really though? As much as WB is going to want to try and cook up a winning formula up outta this, I don't think it's there.
Initially it was no franchises, just a one off...now people scrambling to figure out how this can work with the Batman/DCEU reboot or carry the story line further, which sounds like a huge mistake. Then you got people suggesting what character they should 'black label' next, let's get a dark rated R take on Riddler, Lex Luthor with Walter White, Ice Man, Penguin ect.
I think it's more likely that this is a novelty than a model for repeated success.
Disney has repeatedly said they're gonna keep Deadpool with an R rating which will set precedent for how they handle Marvel content with more adult themes. They got Hulu, Fox and other distributors that have released rated R movies under their umbrella over the years.

This is their chance to do one off self contained stories like All Star Superman, Superman Red Son. IMO
A live action flashpoint paradox would be a much better look than a standard JL reboot, which seems to be the plan.

Exactly this would be time to do it under that DC Black Label. A rated R version of Flashpoint would be ill as fukk.

What’s false? I specifically said gross. All those movies grossed a billion +. You’re getting into profitability. And those movies all turned a size able profit and that’s not even considering merchandising.
and again it’s great the Joker did this. But I Don’t know if this kind of movie is repeatable withal a lesser known villain.

I guess I’m asking how much different would it be from the prequels? The only area of his life we haven’t seen is between episodes 3 and 4.

You forget that Disney is making a killing on merchandise from those PG-13 movies.
No one is walking around with Joker branded depression notebooks.

The only thing OP is right about is Joker's budget was $55M which means the profit margin is going to be insane and it will likely turn a bigger profit than some other blockbuster movies that have reached a billion.
But I haven't looked into exactly what the profit margin on Joker will be compared to those films so it's a moot point.. Disney isn't doing rated R and they don't have to do rated R so don't expect changes from them.
Anyone thinking that Disney is going to do Blade rated R again.. I really don't see it, sadly. But we'll see.
