No wonder WB wanted to release BvS on Mother's day weekend so bad.

I would like for BvS to be better that it was. I root for all comic book films.

What Marvel Studios did this past weekend was continue to prove it's dominance.

Not only that but it clearly shows in finer detail just how and why WB moved BvS....even they knew the power of Captain America.

Deal with the fact it's a Captain America movie. 

No one denies IM has a love but it's Steve's movie.

Any time you see 2 giant movies slated against each other, one of them will always move.  There is never a time when they will open against each other, mostly because it is the dumbest thing each of them could every try to do and mostly because theater owners won't let them.  

 

If BvS and Civil War had stayed against each other, there wouldn't be enough premium screen space for each of them.  You would make theaters choose sides and Disney would crush any theater that stood against them.

Yes, but they would both lose a ton of their audience, as much hate as their seems to be between DC and Marvel fans, they still see mostly see each others movies.

 

Best case scenario your probably looking at:

 

Civil War $125m OW

BvS $107m OW

So far, DC is doing fine box office wise.  DC's second movie already broke records in the month of March. Suicide Squad will also do well and probably out gross most Marvel movies. 

 

The real test is when Wonder Woman comes out. Then Flash and Aquaman.

[Lordmandeep]

DC is is all overhype and internet nonsense.

 

Using internet stats Suicide Squad should blow Civil Water out of the water at the box office.

really good article. I think the last part of it pretty much nailed why DC isn't working so far.

Quote

What makes the MCU work is that every principle character has not only their own personality but their own style, distinctive enough to make their standalone movies feel self-contained (or at least semi-contained), but not so disparate that they can't play in the same sandbox. It isn't just size that makes a universe: It's variety, and DC needs to find some more crayons in the box if they want to keep coloring.

I'm curious what would happen if Suicide Squad out grosses BvS. Of course, I'm also curious if Suicide Squad is going to feel a backlash from BvS, but my experience has taught me that the GA doesn't know the difference between Marvel/DC.

I have a hard time believing SS outgrosses BvS.  If SS gets near BvS' number though, that'd be a resounding success.

I'm sure WB would be thrilled with that, but I'm curious to see how things would shake out for their universe from it, especially if SS is more comedic in tone.

It depends I can easily seeing it being forced and stupid if they reshoot the film for comedy only

SS is kind of the movie for me to watch for the latter half of the year. If it does well, and even comes close to BvS, DCEU will stand strong. but if it's poorly received critically and commercially, I'd be curious what WB does.

 

I don't really see anything in the coming months that look like it will surprise people.

Oh it's going to be hilarious if SS is full of jokes after all the shots at Marvel over the years for having humor in their movies.

I'm waiting for the inevitable shots at Spider-Man for being all quippy. (I'm sure it's come up somewhere, haven't looked that hard, probably won't)
