[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Are you ready to resume our discussion?

Concordantly.

I have a feeling that if this movie doesn't make it into the Top 5 worldwide boxoffice, heads will roll.


Edit - make that Top 7

I don't see it making it into the top 7 Unless it gets great reviews, then third place is a possibility.

Neither do I, but they have set the stakes incredibly high with this runaway budget.

No chin guard in Flash's suit, WHY? Other than that it's got a nice shiny red color, I like that.

Looks like we're getting a more classic Aquaman costume, I was hoping they stayed with the Peter David design.

Are we talking worldwide box office for top 7? If we are, then I think it has a decent chance of making it. Age of Ultron is sitting at 7 worldwide and that film really shouldn't be that high.

Yes. Thing is, with a good director and script, WB could pretty much print their own money with this movie, but I have no faith in Snyder.

If BvS can somehow get an 80% score like Deadpool then I could easily see it surpassing $200 million domestic it's opening weekend. And since the world loves superheroes more than Star Wars it would have a shot at surpassing TFA/Titanic worldwide. If, *IF* it gets good reviews. If it's another 60-70% like AoU then I imagine it will do about AoU numbers which wouldn't be too shabby.

Now if it comes in at sub-50% then that could just be disastrous for Justice League.

Not sure I really want to see any of these in a theater.....

I have no desire to See Deadpool...that will be a Saturday night special.....

I did want to see BVS until I saw the trailers...

I have Zero hope for SS

Or Civil War for that matter...

Or X-men

Right now pretty down on all comic movies.....

I've got to say, though I'd say it has less of a chance of happening this year than the rapture or the New York Yankees winning the Super Bowl, I think it'd be hilarious if Cap 2 wound up being the one that sucked. I'd be heartbroken, because TWS was my favorite Marvel movie ever, but I do think about it sometimes, and Marvel has kind of a **** record with sequels, outside of Cap (which I should note is a reason why we shouldn't be worried).

Iron Man was amazing, and everybody thought the same would be the case for Iron Man 2. Then, look at The Avengers. People wanted to have Whedon's babies, and I **** you not, I legitimately forgot that Age of Ultron came out last year, so, make of that what you will. I'm not even saying that I think BvS would be the good one, but I do think it'd be kind of tragically hilarious if, while everybody was dropping their drawers to **** on Snyder and Co., the Russos lost their way and stepped right in it.

They might have to spend another $400 million to buy the critics.

One thing is certain about this film, it'll make Kevin Smith cry

Don't they all? I think Kevin Smith cries getting dressed in the morning.

As long as they try to keep the Community cameos to a minimum they'll be fine.

And since the world loves superheroes more than Star Wars it would have a shot at surpassing TFA/Titanic worldwide.

If it passes Titanic or Avatar I wouldn't care if it was the ****tiest film ever made. I'd learn to love it.

 

[karamazov80]

Yeah, but he's not crying out of sadness, or joy. It's just the incredible strain he puts on his body moving around.

I don't think that one really works anymore.

Once a week you'll do this

 

[kryptonianmutie]

Make it once a month and hell yeah, I'd brainwash myself into being the biggest Snyder lover. We really need to have a Howard Stern/Sanjaya moment here and put this movie over the top for no other reason than to have Batman and Superman up there.
