Every little thing set me off: Harleen's swandive, Enchantress' wiggly dance, Slipknot losing his head, Cap'n Boomerang's sparkly unicorn, etc., etc. I love that movie! Best comedy since Prometheus is what it was. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually looks interesting. I'll have to check it out for BOP, Routh's Kingdom Come Superman and other neat callbacks. Hopefully they righted some wrongs from past movies and shows.

Not specific to Marvel fans. They’re probably only fans of xbox games and Trump. They also went for ThoRag when they realised it was going to be an out and out comedy. So it's not just about gender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I was busy this evening and so I dont have late numbers. But I did trigger a run that finished at 730PM where MTC1 was 136K and MTC2 did 104K by then. May be 260K finish between the 2 MTC. I think 9m true friday is possible if it did well at other locations. But theater reports dont look good to me. Either way its a big disappointment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China missing from the WW box office for months plus a weaker Disney slate is going to mean that this year is down significantly though, hopefully we see a rebound in 2021 though.

reddevil19 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Having actually seen it, I don't blame marketing as much anymore. I really don't think they had anything of value to sell, so being confused in their message isn't as unexpected. Didn't think it was bad per se, just...pointless?Muddled storytelling structure that only served to make it more obvious it was emulating the first Deadpool, though it still managed to be fairly boring for the first half of the movie. Deadpool-lite continues with a lot of swearing and violence that SHOULD be entertaining yet isn't. The fights lack any real phisicality, despite the John Wick inspiration. They don't feel real, they lack impact and the violence alone would probably not be enough for an R rating. And that's the other issue - I said before I don't think the rating had an impact on the performance and I still think that, with the note that the movie isn't really embracing that rating. After Deadpool did the shock violence for humorous effect and Logan for dramatic purposes, this was lost so where in the middle. The movie's not funny, the violence isn't so over the top you can have fun with it, the dramatic scenes don't have much impact because you're not invested in these paper-thin characters that once again have to be introduced with actual on-screen text... The marketing was bad because this movie really had nothing to sell. For all its faults, SS had Joker, Batman and Will Smith, plus large scale action to sell (and sell well the trailers did). This... Zilch. I'm glad the overall reception is OK, as I want DC to stop being the punching bag it's been in recent years despite them righting the ship, but by God was I disappointed in this, following the reviews. I was expecting crazy action, humor and violence and all I got was sick of hearing Margot Robbie's voice. Aside from being mostly bored, the biggest takeaway was... What a waste of Ewan McGregor. A better made film overall than the likes of SS, JL and BvS, but I found this to be the least entertaining movie DC has made since Catwoman. I just have zero interest in rewatching this, whereas even with the bad ones, there's either hilarious entertainment value or certain scenes that I enjoy. This is just... Instantly forgettable. 14 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame to hear that I still think it's something that I should see for myself though, but a lot of what you said here is what I was scared of from the trailers so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Warmaster506 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I thought the film was a solid 8/10 but I can see why its not performing well too. People still don't trust DC and honestly WB/Warner Media as a whole. The Snyder era DCEU might have permanently damaged DC and WB as a studio. Disney of course has ruthlessly exploited this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
