xiazhi Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 4 hours ago, lorddemaxus said: Although I'd say its probably justified, maybe we shouldn't panic just yet? Even with a lower OD, the movie is looking at a higher OW in both France and Germany. Asia is dead but it's not just because of the movie itself. I doubt the movie is surpassing Shazam DOM but I think we should wait until either Deadline early Friday numbers or Jat Friday numbers. Bop only got second place on its OD in Korean. Wouldn't blame the virus for its underperforming there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Atreides Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Just now, OncomingStorm93 said: I really wish I heard that three weeks ago from grim (who decided I was trolling) like I requested... I still don’t appreciate being blatantly ignored by an admin when requesting a threadban explanation. I didn’t even attempt to refute the accusation, I clearly asked you and grim how to avoid the perception of trolling moving forward. No response. Because apparently pointing out the lack of advanced screenings compared to other recent DC films was crossing the line.... Even though it was 100% factually accurate. Riddle me that. The lack of advanced screenings wasn't the main thing, more the straw that broke the camel's back. You were using it as another excuse to be ultra-negative and poison the well for the movie, which you have done for months. Think of it as a threadban for your continuous behavior. And I'm sorry I didn't respond to you earlier. In hindsight, that was a mistake on my part. I felt as if since Grim was the guy who doled out the threadban, he should have explained why. I promise to do better in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparisons. Bad Boys OD Finish MTC1 End - overall 2947 shows 258762/575718 3556367.70 post 6PM 1718 shows 198194/334720 2818159.49 MTC2 End - overall 2732 shows 189437/428177 2016271.00 post 6PM 1260 shows 125336/192744 1487326.00 So Deadline should be on the mark with early projections. Thanks for all the numbers. As disappointing as the numbers are for fans like me I still really appreciate these numbers, it definitely lessens the blow when you know what’s coming. With regards to the movie, never in my wildest dreams did I expect this to open this low, I’m pretty shocked but after reading the tracking thread the last week or so I had already prepared myself for what looked to be a disappointing opening(but not this level). It’s good to see people enjoying the movie For the most part but because of this box office I’ll be really interested to see what WB has planned next for Harley after the new Suicide Squad.

Eric Atreides Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Just gonna say this: the staff has made plenty of mistakes in the past. We're all human. And when we realize we did something wrong, we'll fix that. But if you don't like the way the website is run, or think we're "silencing opinions" or being too harsh when it comes to threadbans...why are you here? There are plenty of other places on the Internet to talk about movies and box office. Every movie forum I've ever been on has box office talk in it, and from people who know a good deal about the business. I know that seems harsh or unwelcoming or whatever, but it just seems like a waste of time for you to stick around at a place you don't like. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that yes, a lot of people without them were probably still hoping for a 60M start, while people wishing it achieve to stay above 40M get much less of a surprise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think that if it were such an issue (over months no less), a staff member would advise me well before it reached the point of threadban, and even then give an explanation. I don't blame you. I blame Grim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly deadline is not biased at all. Yeh, out of touch with critics and audiences who’ve seen it too. so $80-90m domestic. Guessing the same internationally then. WB will be 1. Glad they kept the budget low and 2. Regretting making it R, when they marketed it mostly to young girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
