There is nothing to worry about. I am quite confident in the Wonder Woman movie now. It won't surprise me if it beats Man of Steel. It needs to have great WOM and a fantastic marketing campaign, tho.
Id take that bet (on it not beating MOS).

I don't see BvS's reviews making a jot of difference to Suicide Squad or Wonder Woman, both films will stand on their own merits.
Why wouldn't this matter I'm curious? If it's not well recieved with a lot of the same characters how is that just as likely right now?

No, of course not. But assuming it gets upwards of 170m on OW -- which is an assumption, but not a huge reach -- even pretty shitty legs get it to a fairly impressive total. Maybe not as impressive as if it had gotten a good reception, but money is money.
They are trying to start a multi year universe, this thing will be scrutinized like no other regardless how much over the profit line on this single film. Perception will matter so much.

The people who do not understand the power reviews have in the 21st century seem to not get how the world works in said century. Look at how crazy people can get over them period, some more emotional than the movies themselves. There are certain films less affected than others for various timeframes but there are very few staples (if any) that can have great legs on a bad RT score. The correlation exists no matter how some will tell you "reviews don't matter at all."

My point is simple Lordman....this is a fanboy driven film just like Potter is and just like Twilight is and just like Transformers is and just like SW and Hunger Games and LOTR and so on. Critics don't matter much to these films.
It absolutely matters to WOM & legs, I didn't know we evaluate just OW as the only thing that matters these days.

Meltdowns on top of meltdowns ITT.

The RT score among top critics & their blurbs are classic. Some amazing adjectives used to describe this monstrosity.

Sounds like one hell of an adventure. This thing will probably have 100 pages by the time we get preview numbers on Friday.
Sounds like a migraine.

AUDIENCE SCORE
How many of those people have actually seen the film yet? Think about it.

Love the troll from ERC...
“@ERCboxoffice: SPECTRE joined the $200M+ club, albeit with a very suspicious gross of $44,791 in just 9 theaters--$4,977 per.”

I love how it basically"made" as much this weekend per theater as it did in its third weekend in release, NO FUDGE WHATSOEVER.

SONY DID IT! CONGRATS GUYS! Meh Bond film legitimately got past $200m, WELL DONE.

I love Ford but man he will be REALLY old by the time filming wraps on this one.

Terrible weekend number for ZOOTOPIA. Just 12.5 M?
Kay, when was the last time we got this deep into a $50m 2nd weekend without a headline change?

Sony should just set up a movie screen showing Spectre in their studio parking garage. Then everyone who pays to park has bought a ticket.
Brilliant idea, not even joking.

If Sony was gonna fudge it so badly that it's easily noticeable, why not push it to 200m this weekend itself? They could have just made this weekend's PTA 12x of last weekend and be done with it.
Watch what happens the weekend after this hits $200m, it will virtually disappear from theaters remaining and the charts. It's easily noticeable to us because we dig into the numbers and know what to expect, not most.

Rth mentioned that a 200M movie gets more from tv rights compared to a 199M movie. Similar to a 100M vs 99M movie. Must have something to do with negotiated slab rates or something.
We got to get a thread and some solid research on this. Seems like a pretty fascinating concept honestly. It's certainly not to appease BO enthusiasts that's for sure

Well, there was no way Sony was letting SPECTRE be the only movie in history ending between 199-200M. They screwed up the expansion strategy and now have to fudge it over the milestone. It got close enough without any fudging that not pushing it would have been unprecedented.
No one has proven these round milestones mean anything in blu ray sales, tv rights fees, etc. My guess is it's all bonuses for executives and/or the studios in general. Otherwise it's a laughable waste of money to get it over the line.

What makes you guys so sure they are fudging numbers? There are plenty of very small theatres, especially ones in small towns, that get movies many months after they release, but can still pack out their showings because for their audience, it is only just opening. This is particularly true for older audiences (and Bond is a popular film for them)
It's already out on blu ray, use common sense here. No one is going to see it outside of free or heavily discounted tickets.

Spectre made $47,000 from 16 theatres this weekend, up 58% from last weekend when it had 63 theatres. I guess $200,000,000 happens next weekend. They only now about $46,000.
They aren't even trying to hide the fudge, it's almost embarrassing. We all know there is a 0% chance even a few thousand $ worth were sold let alone $47k.

BATMAN V SUPERMAN WEEKEND THREAD | 166.01M OW, New March OW Record. 420.4M WW OW.

I just don't buy a bad BvS will make the other ancillary movies in this franchise somehow immune to a negative impact. Seems pretty straight forward the more people this turns off after an already mixed MOS means more will be cautious to SS & WW.
