Damn lol.

What the hell is going on?

If the show had been badly received, I can see making Sapochnik the scapegoat and off with his head,  but the show is a hit with both critics and viewers, and  this makes no sense.

Going to be interesting when the details emerge.

Between Don't Worry Darling looking like a dud, and my sincere belief that Black Adam will flop, I wouldn’t be surprised if declaring bankruptcy is on the cards in the near future for WBD. If so, good riddance. Might as well burn it all to the ground.

Didn't you have a sincere belief that Joker would do less than Shazam worldwide?

I got that one wrong, but I did also make a NWH over BP domestic club last year, which everyone told me was crazy, but look how that turned out.

 

I just don’t see any reason why BA would do well. No one outside of these forums is talking about it, the trailer failed to get any engagement and the movie doesn’t have any hook, other than an actor with an ego who’s had an inconsistent track record at the box office.

I don’t know how well or bad Black Adam will do but I really think this whole situation with WBD money is being blown way out of proportion. If things were really this bad then I don’t see why Zaslav was even interested from the start. Maybe I just don’t get the numbers completely though 🤷‍♂️

This is such a lame comment, so tired of reading this garbage take already.   
 

So many actors or sports figures or celebrities in general have huge egos yet all I ever hear about is The Rock, all because the dude is promoting his movie that he’s invested in, not only cause he’s in the actual movie but because he’s financially invested as well through his production company. What do people expect from the guy? In my opinion, out of anyone The Rock actually deserves to have somewhat of an ego, from where he built himself up from is really quite impressive. And honestly the guys a pretty good person, does a bunch of stuff for charities, fans and more. I’m not even the biggest Rock fan but the hate the guy has been getting just cause he’s trying to promote his movie is honestly so fucking dumb and petty.

I don’t know else to describe Dwayne Johnson. The entire reason we’re getting a Black Adam movie is because he didn’t want to play second banana to another superhero. He and WB are really desperate to make Black Adam happen, and I just don’t think it’s gonna work out.
 

Maybe I’ll be wrong though, just like I was dead wrong about Joker, but I just don’t see the movie leaving much of an impression.

Weren't your comments in the Joker club very similar about how no one would care about the movie and the character is not a draw and the actor isn't a draw and Batman has run his course?

I don’t even care how Black Adam does, I edited my comment above to add context to my other statement. I just don’t think he deserve the hate he’s getting for just trying to make his movie he’s invested in successful. It’s not like the dude isn’t a super hard worker. And so what that he wanted to make Black Adam it’s own thing? Cause of him I’m getting to see members of the JSA now.

It's really weird that some fans are angry that The Rock is going all out to promote a movie he is starring in, it's honestly one of the strangest complaints I have heard.

BA will be big. I can't believe people are doubting 300M+

I really don’t understand the hate for the guy? I mean I understand the Snyder cult guys hating on him but if Cavill actual shows up then what are they gonna say?lol But just normal fans who are hating on him is the weirdest thing to me, it’s so confusing.  
 

Without The rock asking to be in his own movie I would of never got one of my favourite cbm made, Shazam.

Definitely not expecting black adam to be huge but I really hope I’m wrong but I have a hard time seeing some of the super low numbers I’ve seen from people on here.

I believed at the time that Batman had run his course because of the failure of Snyder’s take on the character. Clearly, I was wrong on that count.
 

Regardless, unlike Black Adam, Joker actually had some pretty successful trailers that got a lot of people talking about the movie, and I imagine that the over sensationalism from the media likely contributed to the film doing as well as it did. Call me crazy, but I don’t see a fairly generic looking superhero movie starring the Rock attracting the same kind of sensationalism that Joker managed to attract.

He might be the lamest movie star of all time. 

 

There's a grand tradition of actors who can't act - Arnold, Keanu, etc - but they all had something to offer. A sense of humor, a touch of humanity. 

Dwanye is the human equivalent of a theme park ride. He sucks. I always knew this in the back of my mind but it wasn't 100% confirmed until I watched him with Emily Blunt in Jungle Cruise. She might as well have been acting opposite a piece of cardboard. I've never seen SUCH lack of chemistry. The movie rips off The Mummy 99 except when it comes to the actors looking like they have some kind of desire for each other. He is Marvel in humor form. Completely soulless.
