Not true.  

 

They have international markets to open up in.  You're judging the film after two days in one market.

A $50-55M domestic gross and 19% RT score isn't gonna convince them a sequel is worth pursuing. Not to mention its overseas prospects are questionable given how comedies usually fare overseas (Central Intelligence made nearly 60% of its worldwide total from domestic). Sequel's as dead as that 6 movie King Arthur franchise.

Get your poison outta this well.

Not sure what people want from the Rock here. 

He's pushing a product that is definitely getting a disappointing start. Are people actually upset with his narrative?

[Ethan Hunt]

Yeah Spider-man 3 is infinitely better than Civil War

All of this is speculation right now.  You don't know the overseas total.  It hasn't been released there.  This isn't rocket science dude.  How about letting it get released world wide before burying it?

[Ethan Hunt]

Granted I actually like Spider-Man 3 a lot

Since we're giving opinions here. Suicide Squad was the best DCEU movie.

Still haven't seen it *shrug*

 

BvS is very good though

[filmlover]

Universal couldn't even be moved to consider making a Warcraft 2 despite the worldwide total more than saving its disastrous domestic total. Even with the state of Paramount being up in the air these days, I doubt they're desperate enough to make a freakin' Baywatch 2, which would probably go straight to VOD here (and most likely wouldn't have the involvement of either Johnson or Efron to keep the costs low).

Rate the movies where the villain intimidates someone by leaving them a jar of urine. 

1) BvS

[MCKillswitch123]

People saying SM3 is better than Civil War are EVIL and should get brainwashed HYDRA-style.

 

You have disappointed Zemo.

 

[Celedhring]

BvS is he third best DCEU movie.

[MCKillswitch123]

Oh, and Batman V Superman is the best DCEU movie (by a comfortable margin, from what I remember).

No, he was the hero. Fincher was the villain.

You either die a hero, or shoot long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Spiderman 3 still has one of the worst multiplier ever for a major comic book movie and that was in 2007 when legs were better.
