There is nothing wrong with Suicide Squad. The biased critics have been brutal. Otherwise it would have been considered an awesome movie.

 

Those darn "bought" critics brought this and BvS down.  

[Krissykins]

I knew it would fall hard, but I thought $40m hard.

 

Can't say it's not deserved lol. (IMO)

Ouch at that drop. Toldya that WB will suffer from the lackluster quality of their movies in the long run.

 

I'm a bit concerned on the general impact to the CBM genre, something like what is happening with WB can hurt the genre via general audience getting too often disappointed and so on

Their relationship and her character quite faithful to the book as is most of the plot including David's background and Vietnam and Carlos.  It's 3 hours long.  It's certainly not as viscerally action centered as the films and it's not one of the great miniseries of the 70s and 80s but it's solid and immeasurably closer to the novel.

 

Sounds interesting. Usually not a fan of the male lead, as in he was a ~ solid actor, but too often the chosen material / how it was done didn't work for me more often than it did.

 

I just searched for it here and found a DVD.... it has only mono as audio in all languages beside the English version!?  I'm now prepared for an older TV-based thing  , it's quite some time since I ordered a mono movie not being from the '60 or earlier.

Only one that has something to worry is WB.  Marvel Studios is like Pixar at this point, while the other studios aren't even trying to play catch up.

bored waitng for numbers?

heres an indian spiderman spoof. quite funny. enjoy!

 

[The Stingray]

So happy.

The job of marketing isn't to be faithful to the actual movie. The job of marketing is to get butts in seats. Obviously the SS marketing was a home-run. 

 

To single out Snyder for blame -- as that article did -- is absurd. Until recently, he was one member of a joint WB/DC creative team that headed up all decisions about their CU. Does he deserve some of the blame? Of course. But that article is fan-pandering at its worst, and I'm surprised you guys are falling for it. 

[Ozymandias]

Who the hell is overseeing all this shit?  Who is DC's Kevin Feige?

NOW. After BvS. Before that it was Zack Snyder, hence why the article MAKES sense and addresses the elephant in the room, regardless of Tele's defense. Snyder's style over substance is all over the DCEU. TO ME, Ayer successfully subverted it, but what about the critics? What about this giant drop? Zack Snyder is the problem, and sugarcoating this has been the DCEU downfall since Man of Steel.

The only good thing about WB DCCU movies so far is the marketing, though even this is based on oversaturation and a lot of money spent and not brilliance from the marketing team or anything .

 

Anyway the bad legs are already kicking in ....fast . I'd say around 600-650 million WW , which I don't think will cover this movie's expenses , plus it also fails to create goodwill for future DCCU movies just like BvS .

[CoolioD1]

By the time we even get that second superman solo film this franchise gonna be all CW originals.

Might not even wait till next weekend to do one after THIS.

[wildphantom]

Wait for the 'it's collapsing' cries to die down when Saturday inevitably comes in a couple of million higher. 

 

I guess we can only go off what we're hearing. If the number is mid-30's then we have a new Twilight.

$600m is more than enough to cover. That's more three times the production budget. 

 

People are really not grasping how things work.

Give me a break . This had a way over 200 million production budget with the reshoots and all and a "God knows how much" marketing budget . Studios get around half of the WW bo grosses from a movie so yeah SS isn't covering its expenses. Keep the lessons to yourself .

A film with 175M budget + 150M on marketing like SS needs at least 900M to break even from theater incomes, because only 50% of theater incomes goes to the studio behind the movie stateside and 25% from other markets outside the US. Studios count on theater incomes + DVD/Digital/Rental incomes + Merchandise to have a mere 100M for a major blockbuster. It is not an easy business.

[Thrylos 7]

Oh and I love all those "WB is still making money" posts that I read in this thread. Newsflash if SS ends up with less than 600 million WW , that would be borderline catstrophic when considering the money WB has sunk into this thing . The reshoots, the edit

ing, the change of several executives in the DCCU , the JL movie becoming a one part film e.t.c show that WB is anything but happy and how could they be ?
