Neither MOS or BVS lost money.In fact both brought money back to the studio, even if it was less than expected.Plus, the calls for MOS to make 1B back in the day were kind of unrealistic expectations so of course the film making 650M seemed like a disappointment.IMO, for a reboot of a dated character the return was good. Still none of it falls to Cavill’s shoulders and maybe he was not beloved but he was well liked and one thing audiences seem to agree on...or the majority at least.Is there potential for growth?Definetly. But I firmly believe that people would like to see Cavill’s story continue and not a whole damn show focusing on the CW version of the character.

He said that Cavill went to WB with McQuarrie interested to direct MOS and a story that the two of them had already worked on and they turned him down.And if true, Cavill deserved the raise and the executive Credit as he had found a director and worked on the script.What a bunch of shitheads head WB?

This is what happens when you just care about money and not quality .Mockinjay had no reason to be split into two parts and the finale was rushed.It left a bitter taste at the very end...not to mention people had high hopes after how good Catching Fire was. And I find this particular movie unnecessary as well.I mean we all know the bad guys won and years of civilians being murdered followed.

I have a feeling Phoenix will win it. Not only he deserves it for the performance itself but he has a lot going on for him...long overdue in a career best performance (or st least right up there), he has the audience on his side and the academy definetly can't afford the bad mouthing if he doesn't win etc. Plus, if Joker won't make it to Best Picture then that will be the consolation prize.

JOKER OS THREAD // 738.5M OS // 1.074B WW
TheDarkKnightOfSteel replied to PanaMovie's topic in International Box Office
In Greece after 5 weeks on top Joker has now fallen to 2nd place,.In fact it only missed repeating for a sixth week for 1.453 admissions.Still Joker sits at 856.000 admissions and has now entered the market’s top 5 films of all time.It should reach 900K admissions. -
I want to note that, this year I only tracked the presales for Joker and Endgame.There was no indication that this would happen.In fact, Joker didn’t have 1/1000 of the presales Endgame had, which also had far more showings.If anything this had the attention from the Joker and comic book fans in its first week but from then on it just turned to a word of mouth beast.It’s rare and I think the market won’t see another film like this for a long time.

I think with Clarke we are looking at an Emma Watson type situation. Emma Watson always used to be the most popular among her young HP cast mates and when HP finished she tried to do some indie stuff that she felt passionate about.And while some of them were great and some of them...not so much, Watson still had to go back to a known IP to find her next big success (B&TB).IMO, Clarke is the most beloved actor to come out of GOT but if her desire to do indies won’t go anywhere, and I hate to say this, she will eventually need to resort to one of these huge franchises. Whether Marvel,DC,SW or you name it I think these franchises will always have a place for an actress with Emilia’s following.Thank god, she actually has the acting chops to pull anything off.

For what is worth, it doesn’t seem to me that they have learnt.M6 main issue with FB2 is that it’s an overstuffed movie and spend screen time to characters that literally give nothing to the movie.I don’t give a shit about Jacob’s love life.Leta is a fucking great character but why the fuck to we have to sit through the entire Corvus storyline if ultimately gets nowhere.And what does everything has to do with the Dumbledore/Grindewald showdown?Hell we all know that the film leads to their battle so even Newt seems unnecessary. Right now of all the new characters only Credence KINDA seems that has a connection to the main storyline.

So basically if you want your movie to succeed in UK have a murderous Joaquin Phoenix...

JOKER OS THREAD // 738.5M OS // 1.074B WW
TheDarkKnightOfSteel replied to PanaMovie's topic in International Box Office
Having sold more than 750.000 admissions in Greece, Joker has now entered the all time top 5 in the country.It will probably stay there but there is still a chance it will reach 1M admissions and it's especially great considering that ahead of it are some local classics and Titanic, which sits pretty at the top with 2M admissions.
