So did mixed wom and the sexual harassment allegations against Ben Affleck hurt the film?

Nah. Even if WB's pollyanna Sunday estimate holds, you're looking at 8.5-9.

This cinematic trailer was made by the same guy who made Deadpool.

Tim Miller did this also...

 

 

And he's the one that gets fired from CBMs, not Snyder.

Yea he was really feeling himself too. Buncha critical/awards seasons successes in a row. Considered a serious, "prestige" talent. Left Garner to date young models.

 

"Sure I'll try another superhero franchise. It's Batman coming off the Nolan trilogy, what's the worst that could happen?"

You and I have very different definitions of the work "OK", Deadline.

 

Oh, and WHERE IS MY LADY BIRD TC?

Although it has some serous flaws, overall I liked MOS. I thought that the flaws would be corrected in BvS.Instead they got much,much,worse.

[raegr]

I may or may not have broke down on today's episode.

 

Do you guys want the episode raw or some parts edited out?

 

 

[Maxmoser3]

On the bright side, 2017 is now up from 2013 and 2015. So hopefully we see a more stronger increase in the marketplace coming up. But as for the new releases, not bad although Justice League was the victim of over projection. Minus the decent expansions and Bad Moms having decent holds again, all holdovers have been all smacked this weekend.

And Jennifer Garner, IMHO,is still sexier then most of the young models out there.

I notice that Affleck is spending Thanksgiivng with his kids and is trying to repair fences with Garner. Not to get back together, but at least  have a decent friendship for the kid's sake if nothing else.

Oh BVS discussion.

..which weirdly makes no sense in the movie. (It's a funny line in the trailer).

It didn't make any sense in the trailer either. I'm 99% sure it was just written specifically with the trailer with mind.

Really funky that after all this, the tonally weird and awkwardly paced MOS is still the "best" of the various Snyderverse movies.

For all its issues, MOS has the advantage of being the first film, and not being bogged down by the need to make everything a shared universe. It's also got a fairly simple three act structure, whereas say BVS is just all over the place.

They weren't successes compared to the massive success of the 2002 - 2007 trilogy, but YES, they were successes, even the second film grossed over $700m WW and made a profit for Sony. 

 

According to the leak even if the first one made the planned at greenlight profit of 69m that it did hurt the brand (you can find Sony e-mail saying that the "biggest box office title" the 2012 box office was not a good year, Men In black and Spider man franchise were both in trouble).

 

Amazing spider man 2 was certainly not a success

 

It was greenlight with 300m domestic, 550 intl, 850m WW box office in mind and with a profit of 123m in mind (16% ROI)

 

It went 91m below Sony success bad threshold in profits, the movie made less than 10m for the studio and investor combined (14m for the studio a loss of 5m for the investors), on a multiple year's between the expense and all the revenue to come in, 600m total spent, on something that is purely made for a cash grab endeavor.

 

Not sure on which metric it can be seen as a success, the planned sequels and movie universe were cancelled for a reason.

 

Profit is not a sign of success, you need a depending on the project and the studio a ROI of 8% to 25%, that tend to be significantly above the break even line, otherwise the studio would have been better to buy stock at the stock market instead of investing in a movie.

In MOS, you also get some of the Superman we all know and love.although he mopes around and feels sorry for himself too much of the time. But in the post Zod scenes...particualry the bit with the drone...we get the nice guy Supes who gets joy out of helping people. There is NONE of that in the Supes we got in BVS.
