Will say that I do have faith in Superman and Fantastic Four being big hits however. I have faith in both films' creative team, and it seems there's a lot of fandom excitement for those two in particular. Way more than most of the other superhero stuff coming down the pipeline.

I think you are underestimating the power of nostalgia bait. All it needed was a big opening and nostalgia bait gave it that. The rest came from good WoM. Across the Spider-verse is a family film so I’m guessing it got more kids than your average superhero film. I still think the average superhero watcher (the person who would be showing up to most of these from 2008-2019) doesn’t care about them anymore. Don’t think there’s gonna be a single superhero success next year. The only one that I could see getting through is Fantastic 4 but that’s because I see some novelty there (+ RDJ Doom)

DC has only had one box office success in the past three years, Marvel has had multiple failures pre-Deadpool & Wolverine. It's not that everything's guaranteed to die, it's just clear that the market is rapidly shrinking and it's not what it was in the 2010s.
Will continue to argue until I'm blue in the face that the big push for big-budget superhero shows did a ton of damage for the movies and their appeal with both fans and the casuals. Both in the quality and just oversaturation in general. It's harder to make these movies good when executives and producers have to look over a bunch of streaming shows that serve as 6-hour movies, and it's harder to get all excited and interested in the next epic movie event when you have superhero content shoved in your face 24/7. And most of that content isn't even that good!

It's times like these where it's hard to be an Arianator. Hearing her recite the lines that Kristen Chenoweth made oh so iconic is just...why couldn't we get an actual actress for the part?

@HummingLemon496 that is enough of this constant “Joker is gonna bomb, it’s gonna have awful legs, it’s a huge failure, lol at the fanboys pretending it’s doing okay” rhetoric. I understand presales are poor, but repeating these mantras over and over and over and over again adds nothing to the conversation, and frankly is starting to border on concern trolling. Either add something new to the conversation, or leave the thread. Because if you continue this, you will see a thread ban.

Honestly kinda hoping some bad reviews kick in and out it at like, a 96 or 97 or something. Ik the movie is like, super good, but a full 100% is gonna make some people feel as though somethings not totally right.
or maybe I’m just paranoid
Baby, it's 20 reviews. It's probably gonna go down in a few days anyways.

This isn't original though, which does seem to be a factor in the backlash
Fine, non-NTC horror is in the mud. Is that better?

Worse hold than the IT movies, but it's also a PG-13 with kid/family appeal, so it's kind of hard to really parse this as a good or bad Monday.

We don't need to do this "state of DC" or "Superman's gonna bomb" rhetoric here. Please stick to the tracking, or else threadbans will come your way.

I see your point but do you think parents should be allowed to take their kids to a strip club?
I learned all I needed to know from life when my father took me to my local strip club.

Going on digital in October??? Is WB fucking stupid? Isn't the whole point of a September release for this to have this out in theaters for Halloween??

QuoteBeetlejuice Beetlejuice came in better than expected at $111M after a solid Sunday of $27.4M, -34%. Warner Bros owns four out of the five top openings for September. The pic cost $100M before P&A.

Didn't understand the parent outage back then, compared to now when The Batman is way more violent and parent groups don't make a fuss. I guess everyone is desensitized to violence now after the 100th PG-13 superhero film.
It was mainly the sexual content. It's always the sexual content. You can show a character maiming and killing hundreds of bad guys, but if you dare to have a nakey, or even less than that in cases where a character is LGBT, then it's too much for these poor innocent children.
