Outside of IT, Fall has been shitty for WB. Ninjago flopped, hurting the LCU and potentially WAG, BR2049 sadly underperformed, and JL may be the lowest grossing DCEU movie.
First of all
Second of all, not only was it frontloaded for an animated movies but frontloaded for an animated superhero movie (see BH6, SOOW).
Third of all, DC movies in general recently have been frontloaded except Wonder Woman.
It’s like Transformers 1 in a lot of ways. It’s a good action movie, it’s fun, the script works along with the characters, and it has a heart to it. I really liked it.
Excited for solo movies like Black Panther, Aquaman, Shazam, Captain Marvel or stuff like New Mutants, Glass and Animated Spider-Man nowadays than I am for teamup superhero ensembles.
There was a pretty lengthy conversation about movies today with my friend. And I quote “everyone is going to see it, people from the hood will flood theaters too”.
