Father’s Day/Juneteenth Weekend Thread | Flash implodes with 55M, Elemental bombs with 29M, holdovers hold atrociously | Theaters are dead, streaming is dead. Everything is dead really.

I mean Superman is getting a 150M budget right? They can’t green light it to be 200.

First hour when it's just a basic COMIC BOOK CHARACTER story is better than most superhero movies of the past five years tbh. Falls apart after that but my audience was laughing their ass off at some of the bits (and not remotely reacting to any of the moments where they were supposed to "cheer" at shit)

 

NOT starting anything but that describes many, maybe even most, superhero/franchise tentpole films of the last ten years. The 3rd act is almost always giant action set piece. Except in the brilliant THE DARK KNIGHT of course.

No way they're underinvesting in this one. It is what it is. If SL is the foundation for their future DCU, the budget is going to receive less attention than usual. The final product HAS to hit.

Just reign in the story to be more personal and intermit so naturally needing less CGI heavy scenes. Don't overpay actors and keep run time close to 2 hours. Not impossible.

Yeah, and most of them suck. I don't like most of these movies lol. This one just somehow had even worse CGI than the others. Usually they have Playstation 2 graphics, this had original Playstation graphics.

So Stalkerman/BoringmanSuperman Returns?

 

It needs action, scale, and spectacle. It just needs to done the right way ala The Dark Knight Rises.

Interesting comparison, since both un-retirements are going about the same  

[GOGODanca]

200m is an easy greenlight for a superman movie directed by one of the most successful comic book directors alive, if that movie can't crack $500m then WB just needs to hang it up with DC movies
