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?

 

Because this is not nearly as huge as an investment as Godzilla and Godzilla isn't a film that is hated and villified like this one. Snyder is toast, or WB executives are completely and utterly insane.

I'm hoping $15m is some sort of mistake.

Fri being on par with Monday, if that doesn't indicate bad WoM, idk what does.

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).

Because they're fools. If this movie drops 70% this weekend coupled with the mixed reactions and the critics trashing it, they'd be fools not to get rid of him and rethink what they're going to do. Don't invest in a sinking ship and right now that's what WBs is going to do. So if changes don't happen they have no one to blame but themselves IF JL doesn't live up to the expectations, which mind you is what a lot of people said when they let him do BvS.

Joel Schumacher's failure with Batman & Robin isn't as huge a deal as this is. I think people are completely missing the big picture here. Warner just has lost any argument to justify him to keep going. Hell, at this point the only noble thing he could do is to step down. Regardless the press release, he's out of JL, no other way around it. All it's missing is JL getting put on hold.

Why wouldn't he return to Marvel?  He's already said that he might in the future.  He was just burned out and needs to recharge.  He said he had far more control on AOU than he did on Avengers or anything he's ever done.   Wonder Woman has a director and the film is almost wrapped, the ship has sailed unless it's a bomb and needs to be re-booted. I could easily see Whedon doing The Runaways, Ms Marvel or even The Inhumans where he gets to put these characters on screen for the first time instead of inheriting them

 

Ooh, I would love to see a Joss Whedon's Runaways movie. 

 

And to add to your point, I think Joss has been screwed over by Fox too many times over for him to wanna come back or work under them in a big project. I mean, he kinda had to back then since he has little leverage, but the situation has changed for the better for him now.

Godzilla actually had a pretty similar reception (many like me loved it, many hated it) although in Godzilla's case, misleading marketing was part of the problem. The Godzilla movie is also establishing a cinematic universe. It's budget was lower, that's for sure, but about $90 million.

But doesn't she have her own website?

She can't do box office due to her non compete clause. I see her posting links to her site but they are just fictional stories about Hollywood.

The greatest April fools ever and the trolls are exposed or nobody, and The Rock said nobody, is going the theater this weekend. 

 

Must be all the great football games scheduled. And Wrestlemania. Here comes the money.

 

PS- Hey critics, after you are done destroying everything including your own jobs could you at least sweep up on your way out the door?

 

The Management thanks you.

He in no subtle words complained about "recalcitrant execs" refusing to let female characters to be featured in the movies as they "don't sell toys". Later, it was revealed that Ike Perlmutter held that same belief. He was also talking about how there was a "pressure on him" to have AoU outdo TA, which it didn't. If Snyder is indeed asked to step into a purely exec role for JL, then Whedon will be one of the likely people WB will look at. Only this time, Whedon will be at a better place to negotiate his own terms and conditions. 

 

And I doubt he would want to work on "poor men's X-Men". He may actually get an opportunity at the real thing if Singer wants to take a break after Apocalypse or if Fox have something more in mind for their XCU.

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

The biggest joke is that BvS expanded and still collapsed.

Is the 15M from Rth an April's Fool joke? 

 

I thought from last week, it shows that West Coast overperformed so that's why it trended up (kinda like FF7)

 

But to go from 18.5M during the day down to 15M like this is terrible. Yikes.

I think because of the wom that this is a matinee movie, not a evening movie. And the movie is more popular with teens than adults.

I'm from Philly so I'm a huge Iggy fan (Finals MVP )!and have followed the Warriors only because of him. But I'll tell you what, it's remarkable how much the franchise has changed for the better. It was something unexpected but it's also something the league certainly needed. The same teams winning all the time was getting old. 

Warriors miss Andre so bad right now.

I know no one else cares about anything but BvS, Zootopia, and God Never Lived, but can I just say that 10 Cloverfield Lane is performing exceptionally.  If that number holds a 29% drop is amazing.

So much for BvS being a weekend movie

Congrats on your prediction of $16M! They said you were reaching but apparently it was them reaching with that $18.5M number.
