grey ghost Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) I don't like Batman Begins but I acknowledge the critical and audience consensus means it's not a mediocre film. If mediocre means a movie only achieves average critical and box office success. Jaws and The Godfather also aren't mediocre.

RichWS Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 "Good" WOM for JL means no one is going to remember it exists in a few months. That's better than being despised so it's an overall win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason my two female neices went to see CoCo was for the Frozen short. I'm sure there were many others.

narniadis Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 By now everyone should know that it is impossible to use logic and reason with the uber fanboys... I have said it several times recently as have others, films do not "run" in a vacuum - their numbers, daily drops, weeklies etc, are not unique and singular to themselves as they must give and take with market forces that include films that come before them. JL paid for the horrid WOM from BVS & Suicide Squad with it's lower opening. No one is denying that over all the reception, while tepid, has been better than BVS. However, one cannot say that it's decent for this time of year multiplier is a sign of anything other than average-ho hum wom. The fact that it ultimately hasn't been able to recover from the poor opening goes to show the lack of overall interest in the project by anyone outside of the dedicated fandom. Like it or not those are the actual facts, not the wishes of a fanboy or the delusions of a hater. Justice League when all is said and done will be forgotten for all but it's painful underperforming opening since there was nothing crazily front or back-loaded about it's run. The worst part of all the fuss being made is that it's being made over a run that is ultimately boring and has been since day 3. BTW - BVS would have had a better multiplier if it had opened on a different weekend - the frontloading of Easter Weekend / Good-Friday skews the numbers the same way that Thanksgiving (and to a small extent Christmas) has done/will do for Justice League. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
