The movie would have done well enough in normal times. I see a bunch of people talking about this is a referendum on James Gunn, and the content was too much. Pretty much the Snyder stans.

So DC stans have a Snyder faction that's sabotaging their own movies?

They should have left Harley and Boomerang out and gone straight reboot. I loved this movie, but all my comic friends have no interest in it after the first one.

Birds of Prey flopped and now this. No one cares about Harley Quinn but they're trotting her out there like that's what the people want. She's been in three failed movies.

After BVS they needed to stop everything and reassess. JL flopped and now they have characters like Aqua Man and Wonder Woman existing in a failed universe. They went ahead with a Suicide Squad sequel when people hated the first one. WB/DC is in shambles.

It’s for FREE at home on hbo in the middle of a resurging pandemic

She's been in three failed movies.

The 1st SS made over $750M without a China release. it's one of the most profitable CBM's ever

I wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch watched on HBO Max or watched on flixtor, because they knew James Gunn was directing and it was going to have Marvel comedy. With the way people review bomb over some bullshyt, it wouldn’t surprise me. So yeah, I don’t think certain fans showed up. But it’s primarily the pandemic.

None of that means much. Reviews were trash way before it's release and it still made a ton of money at the B.O. u don't understand a pandemic is going on and that this one was available the same day on HBO? Lol

you have a giant screen pretty much to yourself if you go in the afternoon (2-3PM)
these theaters are ghost towns, 2 at most working the concessions, no box office anymore, pay for your ticket at the kiosk or at concessions
For SS, it was just me (sat in the middle) and a couple that sat up at the top, 3 folks had the whole theater to ourselves
For Old, there was actually more people (6 or 7) but everyone had 2 seats between each other
The other movies I've seen since they opened back up, no more than 5-6 people in the theater

figures.. my local theater will probably be deader then it usually is..


hope green knight is still playin later this month.. haven't had the time to get to the theater

 

[Red Shield]

Yeah i don’t know where this extreme hate for the first one came from
Will smith is good and has the best joke in the entire movie
“I want her in an Ivy League. Harvard, Yale, Cornell whatever. Even if her grades aren’t good just white people that shyt.”
Enchantress had a good dynamic
Katana speaking Japanese and just hating being there the whole time.
The things I didn’t like were black killer croc and the joker plot that lead to nothing

killer croc... is actually black tho

 

[Panther]

movie was ass anyway

 

[humminbird]

And the best way to show this is to have him watching bet and dressing like a 2000’s rapper?

This is gonna be an ongoing issue. We might look back in years and realized streaming may have killed the movie industry. Between box offices tanking and DVD sales pretty much being non existent. I think movie budgets will shrink and we will get less quality movies

I wouldn’t conflate budget with quality, certainly the longer the pandemic goes on and effects traditional theater attendance it’ll hurt the industry but I don’t think it would kill it. If anything the days of big budget tentpole films might be numbered but that doesn’t mean the industry dies, they would just course correct to smaller budget films which wouldn’t entirely be a bad thing.

They're going to have to become less reliant on the "back end" bread that comes from box office revenue and ask for an increase in base pay amount for all parties involved. I'm surprised that Disney was still even doing back end deals after what happened with RDJ and his situation.

I wonder what her contract looks like where she thought she missed out on $50 million dollars from her film and how did she determine that dollar amount. She wasn't going to hit close to that even if the film released sorely in theaters. I know RDJ in particular got 8% of the profits from Endgame. I couldn't imagine them giving a percentage higher than that after how that deal played out.

RDJ made $22 mill on the backend?

 

[FlyRy]

Right, that's kind of my point. Joker never gets made if Deadpool didn't walk so it could run

Put some respect on Logan's name
