Suicide Squad Possibly being beat Week 2 by Sausage Party

[David_TheMan]

It's literally just 1 unamed source in 1 article that was made up and youve gone around quoting it as the gospel truth.

Stop playing semantics clown.

You're choosing to believe it when there's no proof of it being true therefore you're saying it. You're even choosing to ignore an article debunking to believe it

Yeah based off projected budget people had gathered and average cost of P&A for a summer tentpole film.
Other industry sources made the same estimates, just that, estimates since no one will know unless a lawsuit comes out.

I do find it funny that again, folks like yourself here another take and take this shyt so serious.

Based off speculation and anonymous sources




I find it funny that your ass was in every thread trying to convince everyone that this shyt needed to make a rediculous amount of money, but we the ones that take this shyt seriously.

Find one post of mine talking about budgets and breaking even and shyt.



You have more post about this movie than I do by far, and I liked the movie.

My posts are easy to see and if I said you talked about this movie everyday, you might have a point, but I didn't.
You are mad and frustrated that to me, its no big deal. I was wrong on projection admitted it and moved on.
You need this to mean something to me, it doesn't.
Sorry.

@David_TheMan needs to just accept that he's wrong. He's looking real foolish. Suicide Squad has already surpassed the mark it needed to break even and that's without factoring in what it will make from here on and then Blu Ray/digital sales and counting up the ungodly amounts of merchandise it's pushing.



WB struck gold with this one. Harley Quinn solo on deck too.

If it's DC related, then yep.

Mad as hell?

Nah nikka, I'm just laughing at how dumb your ass sounded reaching for the stars and performing mental gymnastics to convince yourself that this shyt needed to make 6x the budget.

Take your l any Keep it moving

nice post from gaf

Basically its sayin, even w/o china it is one of the more successful movies.

Since everyone's still arguing:

Chinese grosses are great for boosting those Worldwide totals to impressive numbers, but studios only take 25% of the gross from China, and ancillary revenue is like 10x lower than it is domestically (though that situation is starting to improve). $90M of domestic gross is about the same as $200M of Chinese gross, not considering any other revenue but box office. If you factor in everything else, it's probably closer to $50M domestic (or $60-75M in Europe) is as good as $200M in China.

Civil War and Age of Ultron were by far the two biggest comic films in China, and even in those cases, we are talking about another $45M and 60M going to Marvel Studios respectively (Marvel's theatre cut outside of China for those two films was about $450M for Civil War and $525-550M for Age of Ultron). As such, I think you can mostly discard China when trying to get an idea of Superhero movie success. At best, it bumps the worldwide theatre cut by 10-15% and the ancillary revenue cut by 1-2%. Often less.

Also, China has only been a significant part of worldwide superhero grosses since 2012 (with $90M+ grosses becoming frequent in 2014). Setting it aside provides an apples to apples comparison to anything released earlier.


Below is a chart of every comic book Superhero film (minus the super low budget stuff) released since the MCU started. Each film is listed alongside their worldwide gross without China inflating things, their reported budgets (some of these differ from what is listed on BOM if we got clarifying budget reports after the film was released), and their gross to budget ratios.

Suicide Squad is listed at the bottom along with an estimated final gross range based on current trajectories.

Title           Worldwide minus China     Reported Budget     Gross/Budget Ratio

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army     $158M         $85M       1.86x
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengence     $133M         $57M       2.33x

Suicide Squad         $700-730M       $175M       4.00-4.17x

Without getting into bullshyt about super high marketing above and beyond all of these other films that had ubiquitous marketing efforts as well, how can one justify Suicide Squad not being a success, given the stats on every other film in the genre? Even if the reported $175M budget was under by $50M (making the film $225M), Suicide Squad's gross to budget ratio would still be in the >3x MCU range on that low end $700M gross.

That article both shyts on Suicide Squad as being a failure while also begrudgingly giving it credit for making shytloads of cash at the box office...how do you write such conflicting points in one article? Sometimes even in the same sentence.
