Some people here will never recognize it and you know it
People lose jobs every day all day, why is JL potentially not happening somehow special?

I'm not really excited about reading the last 50 pages or so.
Just as an aside (from reading the last couple of pages before the lock), everyone who publicly wants Snyder fired and the JL project delayed -- there's human collateral damage if your wishes come true. A few hundred people -- all the below-the-line crew -- will be out of work and scrambling to find ways to cover rent/mortgage payments/cost of living. When a project gets delayed close to its start date, it's very difficult to find a replacement job quickly, especially any sort of long-term work. All these crew members had financial security for awhile, their lives at least somewhat planned out for the near future. Often-times, with a high-profile feature like this, once you're booked, you turn down other work because projects like this are better. So the jobs you might've had are also gone (in most cases) because you were already booked on JL.
It's easy to hate on Snyder and the really-high profile cast and crew because they're extremely well-paid and they'll be fine, one way or another. But the below-the-line guys (and gals) are just working folk.
I know it's not gonna change anyone's opinion of what they want to see happen, but at least recognize that it's sort of an ugly thing to want.
& other people without work right now will have jobs doing something else. That's business.

I don't understand this part. This is a numbers forum after all, any talk of if it's doing shit or great would be on topic in any weekend, weekday thread surely?
Its starting to get a bit silly but oh well. Less to talk about.

Pretty simple: don't insult or berate other people, don't constantly post about how awesome/horrible BVS is, or how awesome/horrible it's doing.
Moderation in all forms.
That post got deleted but I'm pretty sure you guys wouldn't be this strict had it opened huge & held well (like it's been on almost every other movie). Food for thought.

because you behave like a troll on imdb. if you cant see that then you cant be helped
Its trolling to use your eyes to say that was a collapse in the numbers & the movie might not be any good? Ok then, there is no helping that.

Sounds about right.
This is really surprising to me. I mean, I'm aware that WOM is at best mixed, but the dailies were not really that bad, definitely not bad enough to give indication of such drop like this for weekend. And without any competitions from openers too. Yikes.
The lack of competition is what's most troubling about this number, it had everything going for it this weekend to hold well globally other than MAYBE saying it's still a month away from the official summer season but even that's a stretch. We've seen the line drawn over "seasons" & best months be blurred a lot more recently.

MBFGW2 is actually gonna have a nice little run. Much better than I expected, the counter-programming strategy worked like a charm.
Im sort of surprised by that Friday hold, it's dare I say good? Nice weekday holds & now this.

Too bad we have to wait hours for @Napoleon's spin, such a shame.

Gold account is your best friend.
Premium was more than plenty for me last few months, I assume the novelty of people trashing this number will wear off (but probably not heh).

Sure. It went up from 0.01% to 0.02%. If Legendary/WB haven't fired Gareth Edwards after Godzilla, why would WB drop Snyder?
Im not saying it's going to when they are about to start filming in <2 weeks but crazier things have happened.

I like how people think Snyder is going to get fired.
The possibility just went up however unlikely. Fair?
also: title change please man

That feeling when you know you are going to run of likes tomorrow...

The meltdowns are beginning.
As long as they get to 73 wins (& win the title), it will be all good.

I don't know what's worse. The meltdowns that are going to happen on this board or the meltdowns currently happening over at ESPN because the Warriors have lost at home. Meanwhile I'm just like
Lol the Warriors are on a history breaking end of the season run, where do you expect the slant to be? Besides historically has any West Coast team outside of the Lakers ever meant this much to the sport?

Doing better than my Disney stock ytd. ESPN...oy
Yeah it's been great off the lows, been a nice trading vehicle. Both own some great assets clearly. No wonder Murdoch tried to buy them last year. Fox is clearly lagging both.

So 15.5? Oh boy.
Id be shocked if Time Warner's stock isn't red on Monday. Film is a small component but these OS/ Friday double bombshells are eroding all the goodwill built from the opening (which did move the stock on Monday.)

Why is the thread title not updated? Did the MODs check out?
@Water Bottle & @#ED are the only ones around right now. It's usually the job of the OP.

Suicide Squad predicts have to be reigned in a bit now too. If you don't, you aren't paying attention.

I just realized that with 15m Friday there is a real chance of BvS 2nd Weekend < Zootopia 2nd Weekend (51.34m)
Mind blowing stuff.

Days to Zootopia overtaking BvS dailies?
I was asking this half seriously earlier but now I'm completely serious. Wow how fast the gap has narrowed just the past few days.

Dude listen to what you guys are actually arguing. I guess rooting against rival sports teams or political candidates because some lower level employees may lose jobs in their failures is a terrible thing?
