I still can't imagine what could've persuaded Spacey to do that movie. The days of The Usual Suspects and American Beauty feel so, so, so long ago.

I feel Horrible Bosses 3 would have been a better option. At least he has House of Cards.

What is your friend's take on other movies specifically CBMs? Need context here...

He likes both MoS and BvS.

[Dementeleus]

Spacey's involvement is probably the easy paycheck. A couple of scenes, a day or two doing VO... easy money.

Lol wow. So SS is either Oscar worthy or one of the bigger clusterf***s ever created.

"Doing it for the paycheck" is usually a bad idea and has been known to destroy careers if done often enough (Nicholas Cage).

That's been the reactions though. People are either liking it a lot or not liking it at all. 

[Johnny Tran]

Yeah we saw it in IMAX and there's nothing great about it.  The 3D was more annoying then impressive so I'd recommend standard viewings.

Look at the bright side: It'll finish with at least $250M which will at least balance this year out a bit between the monsters and the hits that are much more limited in appeal.

 

WB is gonna be the mayor of 200-299 club with SS and FB.

Disney mayor of 300-400, 400-500, 500-600

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.

 

 

Agreed.

 

And according to this 2014 report, based on average licensing and merchandises per year, it's basically Spider-Man (by a longshot) and Batman, then everyone else.

#1 Spider-Man ($1.3 billion per year)

#2 Batman ($494 million per year)

#3 Avengers i.e Iron man / Captain America ($325 million per year)

#4 Superman ($277 million per year)

I hate MoS and BvS and I love Suicide Squad.

Yep, accurate. With The Avengers as the franchise with most potential growth.

Solid number for Suicide Squad! Nine Lives looked like D.O.A since its first trailer.

I'd say about $60M would be the safe number (but I'm predicting $70M because of the T Mobile free tickets, along with Friday's tending to huge for Superhero movies)

 

That sounds about right.

[moviesRus]

Not surprising. Spiderman is the most kid friendly superhero though cause he is a kid himself. With that kind of money, does marvel even need to make movies lol.

Okay

[Maxmoser3]

Apparently Nine Lives has a solid review by MTV's Amy Nicholson. She doesn't know a thing about a good movie.

[Jordanstine]

Seeing SS tonight. With reviews this horrible, my expectations are so low that I'm bound to like it!

Okay

Also, I've eaten pizza for lunch.
