Why would anyone - including the studio - jump to the conclusion that it's the R rating that was the issue, especially considering what they just achieved with Joker? .... because of the exit poll demographics? Joker didn’t target teen girls 😂 4 minutes ago, MAKKALUL said: It is hard to imagine older women wanting to watch it. My post was about younger audiences, who responded the most to the film but made up the smallest audience cause they’re under 17. See Deadlines article it’s all clear there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least DC is establishing an image of dependability, with their movies being good. If this has somewhat decent legs then develops a following post-theatrical, while not an ideal financial situation, it will at least not hurt the brand as much as a huge budget critical disaster that gets laughed at by millions would. Unnoticed but good, leading to a lot of people watching this on a fucking plane, in a hotel room, on netflix, etc, months down the line and finding they enjoy it is still a better outcome for the brand than BvS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhuvan Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 One thing is for sure, Ewan McGregor is box office poison.

grey ghost Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I think why Wonder Woman was super successful was that mothers enjoyed watching it with their daughter. With BOP you lose that element since she's not exactly a role model and the R rating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Tran Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 2 hours ago, LOGAN'sLuckyRun said: For those of you here who blame the marketing. What was so bad about it and how would you have changed it? I don't necessarily think the marketing was "bad".. unless you just count that as a trailer needs to be good. The trailers made this look like it was going to be fucking horrible and I get it... sometimes it's very difficult to market an R rated movie when you can't show the best parts. For example, I remember seeing the trailers for Role Model. It's a comedy with Paul Rudd. I thought it looked horrible. I watched it later on like Showtime or HBO and it was HILARIOUS... The best jokes couldn't be shown in the trailers. I think Birds of Prey has a shot at being a cable hit or "streaming service hit" if you will.. but it's box office is DOA.

I was just talking with a girl who is a big fan of comic's Black Canary and she is very adamant that Batgirl is the one who should have been in Harley's place, and Harley should have been the sympathetic villain. Idk I've said from the get go having a leader asa villian made no sense. I agree with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker didn’t target teen girls That's a marketing issue, my friend. They targeted the wrong crowd for the content. They didn't sell the movie well. They should have plastered the internet with red band trailers. You would never know this was R rated. Making it PG-13 would not have helped in any way, as by all accounts, the craziness is what works for it and will probably assist its legs, should it develop them. I think you are setting the perfect example of how NOT to interpret exit polls. Sure, a certain segment liked the movie more than others, but the sample is small and skewed, because they completely fucked up the marketing and confused the message they were selling and misjudged who they were selling it to. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, MOS then BvS' falling to click with critics and the GA pretty much put Superman on ice on the big screen 3+ years and counting. He's DC's biggest name too, imagine if the recent movies failed critically? We wouldn't be seeing DC movies for a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
