  1. From wiki:

    On May 5, 2010, Saban Capital Group announced that it would start Saban Brands (SB), a successor company to Saban Entertainment dedicated to acquiring entertainment and consumer brands.[2] On May 12, 2010, it was announced that Saban Brands bought back the Power Rangers franchise from Disney for $43 million[18] and would produce a new nineteenth season of Power Rangers that began airing onNickelodeon on February 7, 2011, with the previous 700 episodes being rerun on Nicktoons.[3][19] 

     

    Power Rangers franchise for just  $43 million !!!?? What a steal !!! This film can make 300 mil at least and 500 mil at best. Disney really dropped the ball there. In fact, a cinematic universe is promising. Lionsgate is gonna make big bucks.

    The budget is $110m which is pretty high for a gangster film but I guess WB must think it'll be successful awards wise and box office wise. 

    See it this way, I think Live by Night at worst will do Miss Peregrine's numbers ( which is also 110 mil budget). In that case, it won't make a big profit but it will at least be in the black and serve the purpose of keeping their golden boy Ben Affleck pleased.

  3. I took quite a while to think about the similarity between this thread and the video. May we all set aside the hatred and vitriol and enjoy what we have and appreciate the greatness of the two franchises. We don't need to make it a zero-sum game. May peace be upon us all. Even the girl in the pool knew that "This is supposed to be fun."  And, by "fun", it is definitely not about pissing contests and shit-slinging.

    December 2016 is looking overall well-rounded, in terms of quality and BO (except Collateral Beauty and Space Between Us) 

     

    Rogue One: $470 million

    Sing: $260 million

    La La Land: $175 million

    Passengers: $160 Million 

    Fences: $110 million

    Office Christmas Party: $60 million

    A Monster Calls: $55 million 

    Gold: $50 million 

    Why Him?: $45 million 

    Collateral Beauty: $35 million

    The Space Between Us: $25 million

     

    LOL  December 2016 is so packed that you even forget there is a 150mil+ movie called Assassin's Creed. This is literally the box office version of Colosseum. Dogs eat dogs. Son, you are in for a show.

    I would've never in a million years thought Marion was the kind of person who would use the term "haters" so casually but I'm glad to discover she does. #I'mwithhernomatterwhat

    "Et pour finir, à la "presse", à tous les haters, trolls et consorts qui ont le jugement si rapide je vous souhaite sincèrement... un prompt rétablissement."

     

    Actually, in the french version, she even put the quotation marks for the term "presse (as "press" in English)". She even used the terms "trolls" and the french word "consorts" which kind of means "guys" in a derogatory manner. Now, that was Talia al Ghul talking. LOL

    This movie is going to be an epic bomb.  

     

    I wanted to make a refute but then I realize it is released by Paramount :sadben:

     

     

    Scrolling through her instagram, it looks like she is a studio Ghibli fan. Great taste.

    I'm not sure what you mean. There's nothing new about DC films becoming lighter, they were saying that about Justice League even before BVS opened.

     

    That was always the plan. They first wanted to show how an alien like Superman would be received realistically in the World and that brings a lot of weight to the story. But once Superman is accepted by humans and the story transitions to he teaming up and becoming friends with other heroes, you can only go lighter.

     

    The new thing about this event yesterday was actually the Time Warner CEO confirming BVS and SS performed as they hoped financially, that they were successful in launching this franchise and that the next DC films have potential to improve.

     

    In a big corporation, when B (the boss of A) tells A to make a picture lighter without pointing the extent to which the picture should be lighted as it is quite impossible to define, A will make the picture 50% lighter. Even though C (the boss of B ) knows that A is trying to make the picture lighter, he still has to say to the investors that the company is making the picture lighter so as to make a strong statement together with B & A and reassure the investors' confidence. But, sometimes, unfortunately, for some strange reason, from the remark of C, B will feel that C wants to make the picture even lighter as the standard of how a picture should be lighted is different for B & C. As a result, B orders A to make the picture even lighter. Like 70% lighter.

     

    In a big corporation as large as Warner Bros, such miscommunication is likely to happen more often than not.    

     

    (Just so you know, I like BvS UE quite a lot thus I am extremely angry at the asinine decision of cutting 30 mins off it. That's why "I" was born in this forum.)
