It does really suck that we got robbed of a good boxoffice run here, espescially if reception actually ends up being similar to the first film.

In a non-COVID world, this probably would’ve made less money domestically than the first, but more money overseas. I don’t think it would’ve hit a billion, but we’ll never know for sure.

How much marketing in the US has there been? TV Spots? Have people been getting YouTube Trailers? 
 

And has it been heavily promoting HBO MAX or is it just a little flash on the screen at the end?

On the plus side, no body can judge it on box office receipts when it comes to green lighting WW3.

By the time we get WW3 Disney will own DC and Kevin Feige will be producing it.

I don't want Disney to own WB and I would rather DC not split from Warnermedia because they the perfect structure for these characters, it's just WarnerMedia is owned by idiots.

That’s the biggest issue, I don’t know how anything gets better till AT&T is out of the picture.

 

But anyways, I’ve done enough complaining this week. I don’t care about WW84 box office anymore cause WB doesn’t care so I’ll just enjoy the movie on Xmas with my family. 
 

I’m hoping for the best for future dc movies but I’m not feeling great atm.

In all seriousness... DC is WB's biggest brand - the one with the most potential. But the WB back catalogue is tremendous. So would DC be sold off separately from the studio? Doubtful. And I don't see how Disney or Comcast would get the green light from regulators to buy WB. 

 

If AT&T sells, it's probably the whole studio, and it will be to a tech company or media conglomerate not currently holding a studio. Which isn't a bad thing in itself. Nor is a pivot to streaming. But, again, it had to be done smartly and not overnight. Completely new management is needed, with a proper strategy.

Why would anyone assume that Disney would even be allowed to buy WarnerMedia?

[cax16]

Obviously I was kidding and don’t think Disney is going to buy them.

 

I’m just annoyed at what’s happened lately.

Its more likely that AT&T buys Disney.

Disney is worth more now aren’t they?

[Dbui8743]

Apple buys either one of them is more likely, with pure cash.

I thought Disney was worth like 300b, I thought I read that after the investors day last week, but maybe that was something to do with stock prices, this isn’t stuff I follow much.

I just cursory google and thats what it came up with.

 

Anyway, I doubt competition laws would allow takeovers like that.

[lorddemaxus]

Disney's market cap is 318 billion, at&t's is 221 billion. Disney is worth more than AT&T

[Legion Again]

Disney has a bigger market cap after the recent stock surge, but AT&T had a larger market cap as recently as August. They’re in approximately the same size tier by that metric.

I think the key point is current market conditions make it impossible for AT&T to buy Disney. However Disney would never buy AT&T, that's like buying a flaming dumpster fire.
