Suicide Squad 2 to be directed by James Gunn

Haha! Massive bomb in Week 2! Dropped 70.5%, only worse drop was Shaq's Steel movie! This was about as good as Steel too! LOLOLOL!

 

[jye4ever]

Well 2nd weekend drops have been disastrous on every movie though.

I believe Jungle Cruise had the best at 58%-60%.

Shang Chi is going to bomb just as bad as will Eternals, Dune and Venom.

 

[Khev]

Not surprised. Anyone who actually wanted to see this on the big screen already did last week. Now even those who went to the theater and liked it are content to just resort to HBO Max for any further viewings.

He's needed now more than ever....

Nope...

Not him..

Sorry...

Not even close

You had your time...

Nah...

Hahaha!

The true savior at last!!

Shang Chi and Eternals are just going to get on with it and bomb in week one. I seriously don't know how these studios are going to be able to justify the usual insane budgets they are accustomed to going forward.

Smaller budgets and hopefully better films.

The next billion dollar box office movie won't be until next year earliest - maybe even later.

It's going to take a pretty drastic change to get better films. Hollywood is full of wannabe activists and influencers, great creative storytelling has been almost entirely abandoned.

Makes you wonder how they are not declaring bankruptcy at this point. They certainly make more money than what you think. Disney has the deep pockets though.

Two years at the earliest. NA box office is rough and overseas is where these big budget movies make the dough. Opening and not so rough following weeks will determine a blockbuster.

It is pretty clear a significant amount of people in the U.S. are not even bothering going to theaters. That goes for me simply based in the fact that I don't see any of these movies as a worthy theater experience anyway. Spider-Man: No Way Home will be getting my money...and I hope that stays in December.

What a hypocrite you are dumbicus.

Still in this thread 10 days after release after actually crying over anyone bashing ZSJL. You got so pissed you blocked me hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

This movie is more memorable than ZSJL ever will be. King Shark is a pop culture icon right now.

I just saw the movie. I am probably the minority but this was just horrible and laughably bad and boring. The first one was much better in my opinion and at least I can enjoy that somewhat. The DCEU is trully dead in the waters. I am wondering when they will recover. WB is probably the dumbest studio out there. They could have a gold mine and instead all they are doing are bad movies after bad movies. The box office failure is not surprising. Sure covid is a problem but I think the good will of people just not there anymore.

Indeed it has.

 

[jye4ever]

Holy crap WB might MIGHT earn back the marketing cost of this movie but is being projected to lose the entire production budget as in they made it for free!

2nd weekend it came in 5th place!

How does a studio even remotely begin to recover from something that financially disastrous.

Jobs are definitely going to be slashed.

They must be counting on Batman to save their ass.

We just might be witnessing the beginning of the end for Warner Bros.

It was a lot easier for the studios to support projects that contradict what the fan base wants when every Marvel movie made over a billion. Let's see how this plays out now when they don't have Endgame type money to subsidize garbage that has no paying customers like High Republic and The Acolyte.

Covid may have knocked-out our regular movie-going habit... but streaming shall obliterate the full theatrical experience as we used to know it.

You can tell your kids about the good 'ol days when you used to go to the movies every week, scrunch in close to a fat person who ate cheesy popcorn and sucked on a gallon of soda while you devoured your movie on the "big" screen (in between glances down to the jackass in front of you checking his phone every 5 mins). Ah, the trailers.... ah, the Sound System logos... the sticky floors... the crumbs in your seat... the cornball speeches by the staff about how they'll stick around to make sure your movie going experience is perfect... Gone -- ALL GONE!!!!

I have personally been in home theaters with 18 foot screens, massive MASSIVE atmos systems, stadium seating and server driven movies.

Unrespectful people at the theater - nothing beats it. You want the experience, they...don't cherish it. I've had to let go of my Daredevil senses in the theater and just focus on the movie. I probably had as many bad experiences as good.

First the mall and now theaters. What's next?
