Think there's a genuine possibility that the Comcast-WB Discovery merger might happen if the next few years for WB keep going this horribly wrong.

It seems Godzilla and Kong needs to save WB like Godzilla vs Kong saved theaters.

So long as I get a monster movie it's a win for me.

Imagine Evil Dead Rise makes more money for Warner than Shazam!

WB’s inability to launch a Shazam sequel and a Magic Mike sequel successfully leads me to believe even Evil Dead isn’t a guaranteed hit.

The last page is the epitome of the negativity and the exaggeration.

Ps:You have a Warner thread....

🤣

WB has been marketing their "HBO Max to Theaters" films less than Shazam! so I doubt this. 

[filmlover]

Evil Dead has always been a horror property with limited appeal in comparison to other franchises. I doubt even in a best case scenario it would make more than what the 2013 movie did.

DnD is getting a lot of sneak previews in my area (3/19, 3/26 and 3/29) and turn out for them looks pretty good. Quick question: Does the numbers for these sneak previews get added to the Thursday preview #? DnD could have a deflated Thursday ticket sales because of these sneak previews. I know for myself I was going to see it Thursday night but opted for the 3/26 sneak peak.

Yes, all early access/sneak previews/special fan screenings are rolled into previews

Nope, not after GvK.

[dxmatrixdt]

did anyone get the Thursday preview numbers for Champions?  i assume it was under 250k which means it did over 20x its previews and bucked the Thursday/weekend ratio trend for this year.

Greatly reducing my aquaman 2 prediction, if the marvels is really dropping to the 600s I dont see why the same wouldnt happen to aquaman 2

Christmas szn should greatly help. I think we'll see a similar drop like Wakanda forever 

[GOGODanca]

marvel slipping is clearly impacting the publics interest in any comic book movie, before dc only had to contend with their own inconsistency but now that the once invincible marvel is slipping its double the trouble

I'm more curious how The Flash does this summer, not only because of how it handles the Ezra Miller of it all, but also because it'll be the fifth aspiring 4-quad blockbuster in as many weeks (following Fast X, The Little Mermaid, Spider-Man, and Transformers) and opens opposite a piece of solid counterprogramming (Elemental). Usually there's a casualty in there somewhere, and it's unlikely to be any of Fast/Mermaid/Spidey.

But haven't you received the memo? Paraflop is no more (unless you're Babylon lol)! Watch them work their newfound magic on this like they just did with Scream and are looking to do with Dungeons & Dragons in two weeks.
