    Justice League (2017)

    in Review That Movie! (Spoilers Allowed)

    Posted · Edited by Deja23

    So I did like the movie overall. Weirdly, I liked the Flash best out of all the characters, though I wasn’t really liking him based on the trailers, even over Wonder Woman! I’d rate Superman high too because him punching Steppenwolf was awesome, but it sucks that he was in it so little. Thought I’d like Aquaman, but he wasn’t really given enough for that to happen outside of the lasso scene. And the CGI was surprisingly obvious. It didn’t look like a $250m+ movie. And it might’ve been all the red, but until Superman showed up, the final battle was a blur for me. So yeah, it was overall enjoyable, but if I start picking it apart, I’d probably like it less. So I won’t bother doing that. It was a movie I liked and might watch again. B-

    My guess the preview number would be around 15 million

     

    That seems reasonable to me too. But it’s weird that Deadline didn’t do another update last night for JL like they did for Spider-Man Homecoming. I’m trying to be optimistic but that wasn’t reassuring.

    Tried not to get pessimistic about JL, but this weekend will go from disappointing to outright terrible if it ends up below $110m. My low end prediction was $150m and it’s not even going to come close.

     

    :whosad:

     

    At least I’ll be able to finally watch the movie tomorrow.

    Yeah I would use the studio at 105-115 (not surprising) as a low-ball per usual.  WB super lowballed IT too, it's what they do.  

     

    I agree WB is lowballing it, but it states they’re in agreement with independent trackers...? But we’ve also seen that trackers typically miss families and children. I really don’t see OW below $145-150m though.

    They likely would’ve done it for Thor if Disney hadn’t lifted the review embargo before the show premiered. Justice League is the next big movie they can reveal the score for their show on. Depending on when Disney lifts TLJ review embargo, they’ll likely do the same for that movie. It’s not a conspiracy, it’s just a company trying to drum up interest in their show. Critics aren’t being silenced. The reviews will still be added to the JL page, there simply isn’t a fresh or rotten placed with them. This conspiracy is as bad as the Disney pays critics one...ugh.

    Did I missed something? When did Wonder become an expected breakout hit? I doubt it does 20M in total.

    Bestseller book that’s big with kids and parents. Good presales. $4 T-mobile sale. Great marketing and effective trailers. Also, Julia Roberts. Anecdotally, my 15 year old sister and her friends still consider it one of their favorite books despite reading as 4th graders. Apparently the book is read in almost every grade in elementary school.

    While we don't have the age skew yet - assuming its at least 60% over the age of 30 the Sunday drop is reasonable if not a bit lite. -38% would be solid considering fall sundays for adult pics can run over 40%.

     

    Seems like that’s what happened. From the deadline article:

    Quote

    20th Century Fox is to be commended on Murder on the Orient Express, specifically the studio was able to dynamite a bulk of the sophisticated adult fanbase out of their homes to see this movie this weekend. Understand that demo is typically slow to arrive to the multiplex, and the fact that close to 50% over 50 fueled this movie to $28.2M is very respectable.

    I have no idea, but just from common sense...you are reshooting a major role....it is going to add a substantial amount to the budget.

    It is a lot like the situation with the "Han Solo" film.

     

    They're reshooting a role that originally took 8-10 days to film. The movie had already been edited, so they just need to reshoot the exact scenes that have the character in them, which should take less than 8-10 days and shouldn’t inflate the cost substantially.

    One thing about Civil War too is that the plot was confusing without having seen like 3-4 of the prior MCU films. Whereas most of what someone is losing in Ragnarok by not having seen certain other MCU films is some of the humor. The plot can be followed pretty easily regardless. 

    Even as someone who’s seen most of the other MCU movies, Civil War was kinda tedious to get through and I was never interested in rewatching the whole movie. I’m not surprised it had a poor multiplier and it’d be near the bottom of my list if I didn’t think it was a well made movie. I don’t know what Thor’s multiplier will be, though I hope it gets it over $300m, but how it drops this weekend and against JL will be more telling than its first Monday.

    But do we know where Vol 2 was 9 days before it's release?? Because we're comparing Vol 2's final pre-sales with JL's pre-sales 9 days out, no??.

    No. Thor was 70% of what GotG2 was at the same point. That’s how they’ve been compared. So JL is also being compared to GotG2’s presales at similar points before release.
