Posted by DAJK,

K y’all need to stop. Seriously. How the heck do we go from “yea, Joker’s presales suck and WOM seems bleh” to “RIP Lady Gaga’s career?” Like bffr.   I’m not coming at this from any sort of slant. I really couldn’t care less whether this movie makes 10M total, or a billion dollars. But BOT used to be a place where people who knew a hell of a lot more about the box office than me used to come and discuss this very niche part of film culture. I’ve been talking to some fellow users, and i

Spitting facts

Back to getting a new actress for Harley Quinn because Gaga and Robbie will obviously never be Harley ever again. At least Robbie got to play her 3 times.

In the case of Robbie, Gunn has indicated that he hopes to keep her for the DCU. It’s just a matter of whether she wants to come back.

"Warner Bros. insiders say there is no way to sugarcoat the results and that the studio is stunned and sorely disappointed. At the same time, they believe Phillips is a creative genius and worthy of gambling on."

 

'Joker Folie à Deux' Bombs at Box Office, Slayed by D CinemaScore (hollywoodreporter.com)

Thinking Zack Snyder and Todd Phillips are ''creative geniuses'' is why DC is at the bottom of the barrel and has been there since Nolan finished his trilogy. 

 

Phillips career average on Metacritic is 51, which is atrocious. His only film above 59 is The Hangover with 73. Snyder and him, have 24 combined movies on MC and only one is above 60. The only ''genius'' thing Phillips has ever done is aping two classic films (The Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy) and calling it a day.

Harley's probably going to be shelved on film for a while, as most media she's been in since that first Suicide Squad has bombed so far, with her animated series being the only true hit to her name lately.

Actually it's time to admit that the DCEU was having a pretty good run at the box office when Zack Snyder was the architect of the franchise.

Choosing Snyder at least made somewhat sense back then, he directed  300 which was a hit in the mid 2000s and Watchmen/Sucker Punch flopped but were darker edgy movies loved by a few, the same dudebro crowd they perhaps wanted for DCEU.

Phillips however....

Let's move on from Snyder already. Gunn has taken over.
