SUICIDE SQUAD WEEKEND THREAD | New REVISED SUNDAY NUMBER 134m FROM GURU ON PG 212 | 267.1M WW OW | Nine Lives 6.5 OW |No Spoilers Allowed!!! | ACCOUNT SALES THIS WEEKEND - see first post for details !!

[ChipDerby]

You do realize most fans don't give a shit about what studio releases what, right? Also, barely anyone knows what hero belongs to DC and what belongs to Marvel. You're grasping at straws. Batman is the biggest draw in the industry, and it's not close. Spider Man was #2, but I'd say Iron Man is #2 now.

[FilmBuff]

Captain America is bigger than Batman at this current time. No doubt in my mind.

[The Futurist]

The pressure on Ben Affleck s shoulders for the next Batman tho.

 

Good Luck Ben.

[ChipDerby]

BUT THIS ISN'T THE DC/MARVEL THREAD. Discuss the weekend box office, you animals.

The discussion we are having is about the popularity of the two brands and their characters, totally a box office related discussion IMO.

Not really. Civil War was not a Cap movie. Go read the CW weekend thread, aka a 200 page argument on that subject.

IDK, I think a poorly received Batman film (lol good luck Ben) would still crush a poorly received Captain America film at the box office.

There's Bats and there's Spidey and then there's everyone else. Iron Man's Downey through and through and Supes just doesn't resonate like he once did.

 

Nonsense aside, fantastic preview number for Suicide Squad! Expecting $130M+ OW DOM, could even approach $140M OW DOM.

Then why are you comparing DC with Marvel in the WEEKEND THREAD

Back on topic, I think the $20 mil number locks up $125+ mil. But I think $65 mil Friday is needed for $130+.

I am pretty sure my ticket sub said Captain America.

[DealWithIt]

Captain America is not even in the same realm of popularity as Batman. I can't believe someone just seriously said otherwise.

Because I can't let nonsense stand.

I think it'll safe come in over your number, Chip. It'll be frontloaded but nothing like BatSupes though.

Then why do you post more nonsense.

I think could be right on track to finish around TDK/TDKR with those numbers.

 

 

I doubt that. Legs won't be as good.

We all struggle at this, it's not easy for releases of new properties.
