Damn that's lower than what I was expecting and I was expecting low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepsa Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Also take Deadline with a grain of salt!!! They are reporting BadBoys at -42% w/w on friday and are guessing that the weekend will be down 41% (with sunday 100% being higher than last sunday).

If it follows Captain Marvel and Joker it gets to about 31. So i’d say 33.5m guess from Deadline is on the spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnack Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) $33.5m would be an excellent preview to OW multiplier considering genre, R-rating, 6:00 PM start. Edited February 7, 2020 by Barnack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OncomingStorm93 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 If I was threadbanned from the BoP thread for my insistence that there was minimal audience demand for this film, I accept my vindication. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorschach Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) I definitely think going with an R rating cut out quite a big chunk of that young teen audience that really like these films. Even though Joker was limited with R rating, it had Oscar buzz and a "must-see" factor going for it which probably enticed older audiences who were curious about it to go see it. The good reviews for this film probably could've helped it, but I guess it wasn't enough to get people on board. Too little, too late, I suppose.

RealLyre Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Quote It’s a lazy R movie full of F bombs. It’s not edgy, ultraviolent and genre pushing like Deadpool, Logan, Joker, heck, even Watchmen. it's also better than the 3 of them combined. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker was quite clearly aimed at an adult, mature audience. The kind that went and saw The Dark Knight in their droves. It does seem a bit bloody ridiculous to make a popcorn, glitzy, glitter cannon comic book flick aimed at young women an R in hindsight...

Finance sources prefer to wait until overseas figures come in to determine whether this net $84.5M production is in the black (some argue with me that it’s much more). At $33.5M, Birds of Prey is under tracking’s $50M-$55M projection and under what Warners was hoping for, which was $45M. We’ll give this DC Suicide Squad spinoff a chance to try and take off before we pluck its feathers in full, but I will say this: It’s a lazy R movie full of F bombs. It’s not edgy, ultraviolent and genre pushing like Deadpool, Logan, Joker, heck, even Watchmen. And by making this movie R, the studio has potentially sidelined the younger female skewing Harley Quinn fanbase (and there’s plenty from the cartoon series, not just Suicide Squad). Case in point: Last night teens made up a minority of moviegoers, yet loved the movie the most at 94%. Will they come out tonight? Will those great reviews and exit scores translate into bucks? If you'd have told me last year that this movie was going this low, I'd have been flabbergasted...but here we are... This movie missed from top to bottom somewhere...doesn't seem to be in quality, which is good enough even from those who don't like it...so, it must have missed literally everywhere else... So not good for what should have been a gimme $54m+ OW (aka, Shazam as the floor)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
