The conversation between me and the other was about me saying all week JL was gonna cut into Thor legs and that’s what I responded to.

Theres no defense for the Domestic market from me as far as opening goes but we do have to see the legs and actuals.

It's pretty early to already be saying TR dropped 64% this weekend. Deadline's math seems pretty wonky since it already had a better jump than DS's 3rd Friday. The low end of their Friday range gives it 22m if it follows DS and the high end gives it 24.5. So not sure where -64% is coming from.

Name one comic book movie during the last five years that had reviews as bad as JL's that managed to have good legs?

Thor had been dominating social media talk long before reviews hit, and it started when the teaser trailer dropped out of nowhere and knocked many socks off.

 

Advertising.

 

Oh yeah. People were shitting on those social media numbers for MONTHS.

 

Guess they didn't mean nothing after all

My review to avoid idiot fanboys was "It's fine".  

 

The real review was it fucking suuuuuuuuucked.  

You know, Peter, with great power, comes great responsibility.

Oh fuck yeah. 

 

I say this as a MoS/BvS UC lover, I really didn't like it. I really really really didn't like it. 

 

I wanted to but just couldn't.

 

I'm sorry for every mean thing I said about or to you. I was just in denial but now I can say that I VEHEMENTLY DON'T LIKE IT.

Red 2 was based on a comic book, had pretty dismal reviews and still managed a 2.95x

BvS and Justice League are both art movies that the simple-minded public just couldn't grasp. Everyone knows that.

 

People can like any film but the utter defiant defence of BvS against overwhelming negative response, always boggled my mind.

 

Like I wonder would Star Wars, HP, LOTR, Marvel and etc fans would defend a film as vigorously with the same quality as Batman vs Superman. 

[Zakiyyah6]

Now WB has to get rid of Zack Snyder so I'm happy about that.

WHEN JL'S BOX OFFICE IS ASHES, THEN THE SYNDER-DCEU HAS MY PERMISSION TO DIE.

That is objectively not true. Thor's stellar reviews had nothing to do with how it did on OW? If JL had a 95% rating on RT a week ago, you still think it would do less than 100m.

What make it hard, is that often that 95% RT will be correlated with the marketing, Thor had great trailers, JL not so much, when you achieve a great trailer from a terrible movie (Suicide Squad) it still open like crazy.

 

Pre-sales JL were already bad before the RT score (and vice versa about every metric about Thor being really good before the reviews)

 

It is really hard to isolate RT effect on movies like those (versus say the smaller movie that get over 90 on metacritic/Baby Driver type that seem more obvious)

None of these movies should ever see the light of day at least not until the DC Universe has matured to a point of doing spinoffs:

1. Nightwing

2. Batgirl

3. Joker solo

4. Joker vs Harley

5. Black Adam

I 100% disagree...I think Batman probably needs the time off, and Nightwing is the Spider-man of the DC universe in pretty much all ways, including being the guy every hero (and villain) teams with and the guy every hero (and villain) literally loves...

 

Maybe instead of that Flashpoint movie, they should do a rethink and have the Flash head over to Bludhaven and make a new best friend...we already know Nightwing's around since Jason Todd, as Robin, is dead and Dick Grayson wasn't living in the manor...

But reviews for this seem to be different than audience reaction.

Which is precisely why it is incorrect to say that the quality and critical reception of a film will not affect the OW.
