When people say the CW/Video Game/Animated/Lego version is better than the DCEU all I can think about is how much money WB is making from their DC brand. They reach a lot of people.
The Rings promo will smash the Chewbacca Mom record for most Facebook views. That has about 165 million views. Rings with 82 million views in about 5-6 hours.
Bravo Paramount.
Yeah, I know, that's not a lot of likes and retweets, but listen to this: 1 million shares and 40 million views on Facebook in 3 hours.
Another great spot.
Also, Jordan Vogt-Roberts looks really confident in this movie, so that's a plus. Amazing what he achieved with the visuals. First time director. I've never seen something like this.
Just 2016 releases. Without 2015 releases that grossed money in 2016 and no re-releases or limited release.
Disney: 1.78 billion dollars. X4 Every dollar invested
Warner Bros.: 1.29 billion dollars. X4 Every dollar invested
Fox: 1.2 billion dollars. X3.75 Every dollar invested
Paramount: 916 million dollars. X1.8 Every dollar invested
Sony: 860 million dollars. X2.4 Every dollar invested
Universal: 835 million dollars. X3.9 Every dollar invested
But they don't care about the people who pirate. They care about the untapped potential in people who skip theater or go to the theater once or twice a year and then will catch the movie on streaming or TV for a lower price.
It's all about the costumer. Nobody in the studios care about the film making aspect.
