Actually, that’s not a bad news, I hope WW 3 will have a male director

Just so we’re clear, I have no trouble believing that people in China genuinely don’t like this movie. I just needed to vent my frustration regarding the clickbait YouTube videos that are trying to suggest that this movie’s low box office performance is because it’s “anti-Trump propaganda”, just because they’re salty that Maxwell Lord kind of looks like him. Apparently, these people are unaware that the evil businessman has been a common trope in fiction for a long time.

Will somebody finally hire Kathryn Bigelow for the next woman superhero movie?

Maybe one between Zack Snyder, Chad Stahelski or James Wan.

Let's not pretend we all know or understand what China likes. They went nuts over Venom....

maybe Venom and Aquaman have a Fast and Furious feel to them.

If Jenkins, the one who WB rolled out a big red carpet with a juicy renegotiated deal for is saying the HBO Max push may alienate big names...you know it's serious.

Would she even accept if offered?

I wonder what reactions will be in the US when it's released in 3 days. Anyone else thinks people will be softer on these movies released to streaming? I think people may not be as hard on these movies because they are not directly paying for them. I'm always surprised how many tv shows have such high ratings. And usually films on streaming are lower quality. To have a movie intended for theaters release on streaming is huge

It’s not like China doesn’t care about emotional substance, they just didn’t think this movie had that either.   
 

Which does not tell us much either way about what a bunch of other countries that aren’t China will think.

>90% of the screens in China show the dubbed version, 

this might effect movies with lot of dialogue as the intent might be lost in translation.

foreign comedy also doesn't translate well

These are shockingly low numbers in some markets(which recovered better from COVID)

Wondy's popularity is overestimated like Harley Quinn to be or WW 1984 isnt that good?

Isn’t it basically just China and Japan at this point? I mean, in fairness, the first movie didn’t do fantastic business in either of those places either.

Yeah, plus Taiwan which actually opened pretty well.

Yes, but the drops of ~67% and ~50% are still pretty brutal. Not to mention that as the least covid impacted markets right now, a film’s performance in those regions is of unusual importance.   
 

However, this is ultimately a loss leader for Max subs. That’s where WB’s evaluation of its performance will live or die, I guess.

Nah I watched The Crow Wicked Prayer for the first time last night(on hbo max) and I thought the movie was just as much garbage as if I had paid to see it in a theater.

I was told its opposite. Only Tier C & D cities get dub. @Gavin Feng ?

This is what was said in the China thread about why people didn’t like the movie. 

 

Basically they wanted something like Avengers or Transformers.

What is with all the Jenkins hate in the previous pages. She’s a wonderful person and a talented director and y’all are out of your minds.

I don’t know anything about her as a person, but I could swear that for the past three and a half years, people on the Internet had nothing but praise for her. Even YouTube weirdos like Geeks + Gamers and The Quartering supposedly liked her.

Is this film even being marketed in the US? The international numbers so far show that there's a huge marketing and anticipation problem.

Yeah I’ve seen some ads with critic quotes in it advertising it as in theaters and on HBO max.
