Justice League Movie (Nov 17th, 2017)

You probably should see it again, he thanked him once his memory came back to him fully. I actually thought they explained what was happening pretty well, were you on a piss break or something?

Yeah very clear to me- he must have been checking out his Cap America watch at the time

So much for the WW movie after-effect increasing interest!

Its the opposite, its the DCU hang over. At the Thursday screening I went to, the theater was half full. First Thursday sceen I've ever seen that wasn't packed.

Mine wasn't either

Agreed....old school

That was a good kickback to something that would/could have taken place I think in the Reeve's flicks if they had introduced other heroes.

Yeah think that because BvS reaction alot of folks thought this might be more of the same..I can see that

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Can Momoa even act? Or just smolder?

He's a great actor, just watch all the interviews where he has to pretend to like the movie, and then look at Sadffleck.

Will drop to 80 mil by sunday

He looked depressed when he was on the Today show yesterday. If I was playing Batman, I'd be acting like Lego Batman in real life.

Yeah, but over the long haul w. international/homeview it could make a reasonable-good profit. Media never gets excited about BR/DVD profits. Plus WB can say the BO was down this year, which it was, most of the time. And they can say "two comic book movies released that close together" etc.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/robcain/2017/11/17/kapow-china-clobbers-justice-leagues-1-billion-global-hopes-with-modest-16m-opening-day/#1078224bffbc

As of late evening Beijing time on Friday, Justice League had closed in on a $16 million opening day box office total, excluding Thursday previews and midnight screening collections. Assuming the picture stays on its current trajectory, it will finish its debut weekend with around $50 million. If it then follows that with a 2.1x lifetime multiple on its first weekend—an optimistic projection, to be sure—it will finish with a $105 million PRC total, exactly what Ant-Man collected all by his tiny little self last year.

That’s the optimistic case. A slightly more pessimistic—but equally plausible—scenario, would have Justice League earn a China lifetime multiple of 1.8 times the opening weekend figure, to take it to a $90 million total. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, et. al. would in that case just equal the box office take that Wonder Woman earned this past summer.

In neither case would Justice League reach $1 billion in global box office receipts. It would need China to kick in at least $150 million in collections, and probably more like $200 million, to cross into ten-figure box office territory.

The billion dollar box office mark wouldn’t guarantees profitability for Justice League; it cost Warner Bros. (NYSE:TWX) over $300 million to produce the film and probably $200 million to market, and with more than half the box office receipts going to theater owners, the picture will need to rely far more on home video, digital distribution and TV sales than on box office to break into the black. The billion dollar figure is important mainly because Warner Bros. needs it for company optics—to have all of its biggest superhero characters together earn less than, say, Minions or Finding Dory or Captain America did, would be a profound embarrassment for the company, not to mention a blow for Zack Snyder, Kevin Tsujihara, and for Warners' DC studio.

Well, never mind. I mean, China was the country with glowing first reports.

“A film worth waiting a person's whole life for. So much better even than Wonder Woman.
“Marvel should be panicking. Cheering and applause everywhere.
“Visually stunning, (the) theatre had to play the footage twice. (People are) crying.”

Maybe the author was confused about WHY people were crying.

Might crack 100 million , too !

"Breaking news: Self-proclaimed DC fanatics around the world have threatened to jump off of a bridge if Thor 3 makes more money than Justice League at the box office. The DC fanatics in question say that should Thor 3 be pulled from theatres within Justice League's opening week, none of them will take the jump. But should Thor 3 remain in theatres, they will all jump and all blame will be placed on Kevin Feige and the lawyers at Marvel Studios. Feige has not commented on whether or not Thor 3 will be pulled from theatres following Justice League's opening week."

As one of the few "true believers" in the Snyderverse, I'm glad Zack knows we're out there... somewhere...

Wb can try and spin this anyway they want. Even if they indeed make money on blue ray sales the fact remain

1 worst comic book movie reviewed of the year,

2 (if it opens less than 100 mil) worst opening weekend for a cbm this year

3 and the worst of them all opening leas than Thor(!)

Only thing that can "save" it is overseas market.
Oh well

The only problem with Snyder’s Vision is his over emphasis on slow down camera motion. Seriously

Directors just film movies and give everything to the editing team, look at Kathy, she wants like ten different reshots of almost every scene at that point who knows how much they had into play if any.

I think basically after he stepped aside WB wasn't going to let him return to finish it if he wanted to.....they basically took it and made all the changes without consulting him at all- what does that sound like to you?
