As expected, the DC fans are going to be truly obnoxious for the next few weeks, and behave in exactly the way they accuse MCU fans of behaving.

I think the  term "You are both pretty awful" applies.

My guess BOP will quiet them up. Should make just a bit more than Shazam. Maybe 450

[Valonqar]

Not gonna lie, after a year of listening about BP being oh so special and better than TDK cause it got nominated while TDK didn't (back in time when no CBM was going to be nominated), Joker's absolute slayage in both above and below line categories is poetic justice. That said, happy to see CBM included in awards-worthy genres.

I mean it's the kinda dark depressing, brutal violent stuff they like. Million dollar baby killed but I hated that film. I respect it but hate it.

Given BOP's modest budget,  if true it will stil make a decent profit for Warners..a good, if not great return on investment.

DC is playing a different game then the MCU....they seem to be keeping the budget down on many of their films, which mean it does not have to be a huge blocbuster to make a decent profit. They seem to be going for the double and singles,rather then try for a home run every time at bat.

But they are doing better in the Post Snyder era, no fiascos like JL and and no "successful failures" like BvS and SS. Their filma are are all turning a profit and are generally well liked. DC might well be some serious competition for Marvel.

THough that does not make the chest thumping and bragging by the DC fanboys any better. I thought it was obnoxious when the Marvel fanboys did it, and it is just as obnoxious when the DC fanboys do it.

No worries I won't. Won't ever see Joker either.

Agreed at 450 BOP will make enough for a sequel. Could see even 500 but we shall see. Hope it's good. I don't care for the fanware crap. I loved Wonder Woman and Aquaman. I liked Man of Steel but I am pissed at crappy awful synder ruining Superman. Not cool as he's my favorite comic book character.

Hate to say it, but you insist on happy endings, you are going to miss a lot of great films and great literature.

I'm ok with sad endings with purpose with decent closure. Give me Gran Torino like endings and I'm fine. Mystic River or Million Dollar baby? Screw that. I'm ok with missing out.

Well BP is better than TDK. Thematically more interesting as well.

we'll agree to disagree. Intersting part of BP was Killmonger story that was regretably told through dull, charisma-void eyes of the titular hero. It's a story of Simba told by a cardboard lion.

Todd Phillips is the past, present and future of cinema.

He encompasses all what we love about this art-form.

Take a bow.

Downsizing is one of the worst films I've seen in the last few years, but I loved Chau in it so it was nice to see her get a lot to chew on with this. 

edit: Last two? I thought the Manhattan episode was the strongest one, even with the weird look

Loved both and I agree. Way better rewatch value

I respect the hell of out Joker and said it's one of the most successful films financially ever. Doesn't mean I want to see it.

 

Not a marvel Stan. I loved many dc films. Especially original Batman, Batman Begins, TDK, Aqumanan, Wonder Woman, and a couple others for sure. Man of Steel was solid.
