Also, what happened to Justice League is actually a good thing.  The DC crowd and general audience both sent a message you can't keep making shit movies and expect people to come out.  

 

Now they will be forced to clean house and actually have a real vision and not simply a reaction to the success of others and freak out of Nolan exiting the building. 

[DMan7]

These should be the DC movies going forward which will take at least 5 years:

1. Aquaman

2. Shazam

3. Wonder Woman 2

4. The Batman

5. Man of Steel 2

6. Green Lantern

7. The Flash

 

After number 8 and beyond should be sequels to those 7 movies above. Simple!

I'm being serious when I say that I would have given a much more honest opinion if not for what happened after I posted early about Wonder Woman (even though I was spot on with the opening and how it would do financially).  

 

I chickened out because the backlash I got was not worth it.  From now on I will be honest in my assessment no matter what.  

Always stick to your gut opinion/feeling; fuck what a few fanboys think. You're a very valuable user to have on this site and shouldn't be bending over for kindness. It's their fault for getting so obsessed over a goddamn movie.

Are people expecting the Guardians meeting the Avengers gimmick to get people interested in Avengers 3 to match or out gross Ultron? 

 

 

 

Be honest, that is the thing I am looking foward to. 

 

You really think that's the main play here for Marvel ? It's the first part of a culmination movie. 10 years in the making. Avengers meeting Guardians is just a bonus.

I feel like meltdowns over it pulling an IM2/SM2 are far more likely. 

Doing 93-98% of Deadpool would be a great and reasonable result really...

 

Films that are lighting in a bottle are historically very hard to replicate or even improve upon.

Wasn't this same thing said for 2006's Superman Returns and 2011's Green Lantern?

Too many people expect it to do worse than the first which is completely understandable and probably what’s going to happen. That’s why I’m not expecting meltdowns if it does that.

What do you mean had to?

He made sense.

DC needs to just focus on solo films for the next few years. I can't wait for Wonder Woman 2 and I have high hopes for Aquaman & Shazam. Here's hoping we get a MOS2 and a solo Batman film with a new, younger actor!

I mean yes they have lots of great characters to play with but the Avengers aspect of it. Like the above characters would make for a very weird Avengers team lmao

That remains to be seen since those characters/actors have not had real interactions with each other yet. As far as their popularity with audiences, it's honestly a stronger lineup overall in that sense than the original was, even if none are quite on an Iron Man level. 

[narniadis]

@EmpireCity bringing the truth bomb.... 

 

Keep it up man. 

[That One Girl]

Gore Verbinski should do every superhero movie from now on.  There might be a few scheduling issues with that but I think it could work out.  Plus who knows, maybe we're not far away from cloning technology

[WrathOfHan]

Roman Israel's audience score is now up to 65%. Considering it was at 58% this morning, that's pretty impressive. Maybe it can get close to the 22M budget domestically and profit OS.

So the terrible quality of JL has nothing to do with it?

Nah, the quality of a movie, especially big movies like this, rarely has anything to do with a films OW. It comes down to marketing, and if the movie is a sequel, to how the previous movie was received.

 

Justice League is the sequel to BvS, not Wonder Woman or Suicide Squad, and this pretty much proves that BvS was basically despised by the GA.

[DMan7]

These team movies should only come after 10 years and each of the major heroes has had at least 2 solo movies under their belts.

1. SS 2

2. Dark Universe

3. Teen Titans 

4. Gotham City Sirens

I agree, the failure is a good thing.

I mean I know it’s been said in this thread already but like the multiplier for BvS already confirmed that. The only people who didn’t see it that way were people who liked the movie and in their defense they probably felt like their opinion of the movie was being attacked when people would say the GA despised BvS (they did) which is why they would get defensive over it.

Alaywas say what you want to say, I think its best you bring some insider knowledge as its mostly endless circular arguments here ( )

[grey ghost]

@EmpireCity  has been giving the lowest OW predicts for JL for weeks.

 

He's been saying under 115 m OW for JL for a while.

 

Did I miss something?
