I can't wait for the moment when the cume falls behind as well. SLOP was never going to make as much as IO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 The Killing Joke is as iconic a graphic novel as they come, I don't think the same strategy would work for some lesser known titles. Too bad the movie isn't any better, though. I buy all of the DCAU films on Blu, but this one was a letdown. They are increasingly cutting the budgets on these properties, and even The Killing Joke is a victim. It doesn't look nearly as good as 2010's Under the Red Hood.

The source material is one of the best comic books ever. How can they screw up on that? Dark Knight Returns and Year One were good adaptations.

Thegun Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 It'll still be close enough to really care. 340 million for SLOP is still quite amazing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mind that as much, because it's been hinted at for years. What bothered me was the actual look of the movie. I thought they would up the budget for a movie like this one, but they didn't.

Thegun Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Why, it's near 80% on RT. It's not like Wild Hogs or something. The thing about SLOP is that it appeals to multiple demographics, and had some of the best marketing of a year that has consistently outdone itself. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I thought for some reason IO made about 370. It's only at 356. SLOP has a great chance to pass it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolK Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) people in the marketing dept at Illumination are geniuses...they know how to make audiences get their asses to the movies... this is going to finish in the same ballpark as zootopia(which i thought was top notch and is locked to win the oscar) and IO(classic).. i've never been a fan of thier movies with the exception of DM-1(DM-2 was forgettable,Min was awful) and i personally think their animation quality is plain bad(looks at SING) It is working VERY WELL for them for now and i hope they up their game in their future endeavours now that they are getting huge returns on minimal budgets Edited July 27, 2016 by CoolK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it may end up being great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
