Especially for a movie that should have cruised past 1b. A better question is when did it stop being a milestone? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some movies do age like wine. Not this movie, of course. It's going to age like warm milk left in the sun. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice round number for The Lion King to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmBuff Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 The only milestone BvS will reach is if it's considered the worst superhero movie of all time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in 2016, a time where China helps films get to $1B...this isn't 1994. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As one critic made very clear, it will take time (and hopefully a fully developed directors cut) for people to understand and warm to this new trajectory for well known characters. I already believe the foreign numbers are reflecting that. The USA will take longer as we tend to be more suspicious of change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please show me where the foreign numbers are reflecting this, and please don't point to Monday's OS number either because it was inflated due to a Chinese holiday.

Well, not just 1994, but any time up to about 2006, really. Nice mark to reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it's a nice mark but for a film that should have cruised to $1B bragging about reaching a number under that sure points to desperation on the part of WB.

Been watching BO for as long as BOM has been around nearly. For such a major new reimagining of such well known characters to be performing this well overseas tells me they understand and appreciate it. So many said this was tanking in China but now you cite those numbers as a positive. Once it has finished this run the numbers will speak for themselves. Not as an end of a run. Rather the launching of a new, highly successful IP. The DCEU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you've been following it close enough all these years, 70% drops isn't what studios are looking for and they certainly don't point to people embracing a film either. This film is a disappointment, plain and simple...just admit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is too radical a change. It is doing just fine all things considered. As will the DC extended universe. Just needs patience with perseverance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
