Embarrassing flop. No way to flip it. Whether its ezra, reboot, marvel stans, snyder stans.
This was trending high as fukk a month ago. Projections were getting higher and higher and I remember at point they predicted 130-150 million.
I don’t know what changed in that month timeframe. I think it’s superhero fatigue.
I think those estimates were flat out lies. Just like Zaslav and Gunn babbling about "It's the best comic book movie since the Dark Knight"
And it can't be fatigue when ASTV just did $120 million in its opening weekend.
So them firing Henry Cavill, and Gal Gadot, keeping that clown Ezra, and telling everyone that DC was getting rebooted so all the Snyder content was getting tossed really angered people.
Plus Gunn mocked Snyder fans so he angered the one group that he needed to go out to theaters to help DC.
It's kind of like lucasfilms making fun of Star Wars fans for the complaints about Rey then being mystified when their films start tanking at the box office.
