Anecdote time: Friend who works in a theather and liked the movie is laughing his ass off because they had to cancel the 10am showing on a saturday because no one showed up to see it.
10 people were interested in Barbie: Spy Squad though.
>>81364008
Also mind you, they were sturggling to be able to meet the demand for Deadpool around this same time.

>>81363800
>"It doesn't matter what critics think, it doesn't matter what the public thinks, it is making money anyway"
Sound familiar?
Holy shit, if it made only 15 million yesterday, it sure as hell won't go north of 900. That pretty much means that the movie will be unprofitable.
>>81364008
And the theater in my area sells out every showing, both regular and 3D.
Anecdotes are meaningless.
‘Batman V Superman’ Takes A Dive With $51M-$56M Second Weekend – Friday Evening B.O. Update
>Well, the poor critical reviews and mixed word of mouth are finally taking a toll on the second weekend ticket sales for Warner Bros.’ Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Tonight’s revised FSS average ranges between $51M-$56M. At the low end, that’s a 69% drop, matching the second frame freefall of 20th Century Fox’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Worse news? One rival studio calculation has the DC superhero mashup at a 71% decline with a FSS of $48M. All of this despite the fact that BvS has the Friday-Sunday period all to itself, without any new wide threats from the other majors plus the added benefit of 30% K-12 schools off, and another 9% colleges on break per ComScore.
BRAVO ZACK
>>81364668
It will be profitable, but barely worth the investment for this kind of thing.
The reason why they want double the budget always is because studios are not going to risk 400 million just to earn 300.
If you are going to risk a fuckload of money, you want a huge profit.
For WB it would be fine, but the jews in the suits want shekels.
>>81364773
And in mine, they only sold around 150 tickets for a 8 pm showing in a 700 seat IMAX theater.

>Superhero franchise movie “Batman v Superman: The Dawn of Justice” slumped at the Chinese box office as it entered its second week of release.
>On Friday (April 1) the film earned $2.57 million (RMB16.7 million) and slipped from first place to fourth in the Chinese box office rankings. That score represents a drop of 85% compared with the previous Friday (March 25,) when it opened in China with $18.4 million as part of a globally coordinated day-and-date release.

JL1 is too late, but can we expect Snyder to be gone after it?
>>81364841
If this one underperforms and JL gets panned critically too, you can bet they'll kick Snyder out of this.
>>81364841
>JL1 is too late
Friendly reminder that WB cancelled JL:Immortal and Superman Lives just weeks before they were supposed to start filming
I fucking hate WB
>>81364841
>JL1 is too late
No it's not. They just need to say "it's delayed for creative reasons" and give Snyder the boot
>>81364818
It's also worth noting that the effects of a movie's prestige is financially felt more deeply in sequels and related films than in the original film's box office. It's entirely possible that BvS be profitable, but also seriously hurt the brand, tanking ticket sells of Justice League before the first trailer is even seen.

>>81364895
The brand was already pretty badly hurt by Man of Steel, but it really took a hit with BvS now. This movie was WB's chance to make people believe in their brand and they blew it. I'm really concerned about the DCEU now, hopefully Suicide Squad will be better and they'll get back on track.

Why do you think they would have any intention of keeping that Hack any longer? Even if it makes money, they won't.
Good
This movie not making a billion is literally the only hope of getting Hack Snyder away from the DCEU
>>81365018
Yeah, because Hasbro and Mattel are stupid enoung to give all the money to WB
>>81365046
As I recall the initial plan was Snyder would be directing or producing the JL films, though that was very early on, they've probably since been thinking how to turn away from that.
I think the question/risk now is if it does not make enough money will they replace Snyder or push the DCEU back for some sort of reboot, Flashpoint perhaps.

>>81365104
NOWAY
There is no way that they're creative or risk taking enough to use an in universe event to reboot the direction of their properties. I think they'll push forward and try to correct the course as they go. Something about Supes death giving him a new outlook on life.I'm fucking guessing here I thought they'd make adjustments after MoS not double down on mopey uncertain Superman.Maybe they'll think this is good enough and won't change anything at all.

>>81363778

I think it'll just reach 1 bill. If this movie was great and had 80%+ RT it could've doubled whatever BvS is going to make now with this garbage.
>>81363778
Are Fridays box office numbers even out yet?
>>81365104
I think it's very short sighted of DC to give all the keys of their billion dollar franchise to just one person. They should've had contingency plans. Snyder should've been made to take back seat regardless of the outcome of BvS.
>>81365256
Well Marvel technically sort of does that with Feige. But he just pulls loose strings from way on high I guess so they don't have a visual only specialist actually trying to write a plot, or well failing to write one.
>>81364935
I have a feeling that the speechless one isn't even positive in context.
>>81365256
But they do have different directors on different movies, idiot.
>>81365198
He's a movie insider. His box office predictions are always spot on
>>81365288
Feige is a different story because he's essentially the one solo guy creating the universe, but not a director or writer. He just shapes the stories behind the scenes and leaves the movies with other people. DC seems to have put EVERYTHING in Snyder's hands
Also, Feige is with Marvel Studios which is solely a part of Disney while there is no actual DC studios, it's just WB who puts out DC movies
>>81365236
Your post makes no sense.
>>81365306
Yeah sure disney poster, I'll make sure to believe that like the marvel-watching sheep that I am XD
>>81365288
The DC equivalent of Feige is Geoff Johns, except Feige actually has authority.
>>81365345
Yeah, they really should've put Johns in charge of all of this, but I have a feeling WB just sees him as "that lame comic nerd" they don't take seriously.
>>81364773
but what if the majority of anecdotes say the same thing? what grade are you in? this is pretty basic math here bucko
>>81365345
>>81365362
How is Johns as a businessman though? Would he be able to handle big studio politics and marketing and all that shit?
Marvel really lucked out with Feige since he's a great businessman first and a comic book fan second.

Wow, I'm still surprised after a month that Deadpool got so much money with Ryan finally getting a break with the cape movies, and in his favor no doubt.
Can't say the same for Ben, which is a sad shame for him.

Yeah they'll be talking about how shit these movies were and how they killed the DCCU before it even got off the ground.

Reynolds had lots of control over it as I recall, Affleck I guess had to put up with Snyder, waiting on his solo Bat movies, he is a director and such himself, not exactly hard to do Bats either, especially nowadays with tech that doesn't make his stuff look campy or anything.
>>81365718

Here's the problem, no one wants deep philosophical themes from a funnybook movie unless they are an emotionally stunted manchild.
And even if they did, they wouldn't want it from a simpleton like Snyder.
Proper movies and books exist to fill that need.
>>81365766
Flash at least has a series, and it has Grodd and other notable non-human enemies.
Aquaman will suffer due to "fish talker=shit" thing until someone would give it as much heart, or if Marvel will round up rumors or hints to do a Namor movie.
Is Namor's rights back at MCU?
>>81365724
So it's false-flagging then.
>>81364872

>/co/ is really desperate for this movie to fail.
Honestly I not only want, but NEED this movie to fail so Warner gets the message these movies are terrible and to rebrand themselves so we can finally get the chance to see a good Superman, a good Wonder Woman and a good Justice League movie in the future.
The gross misinterpretation of the characters and franchises involved with the abortion that is the current DC movies depresses the shit out of me. I'd rather rewatch the animated direct to video movies any day than giving the live action ones any money.

>>81365799
The fish talker thing could be dispelled by having him summon krakens and megalodons and all sorts of giant spooky shit.
If they really want to freak people out, have him launch tons of box jellyfish at people and visualize them screaming their lungs out.
My concern with him is will they have to do a lot of underwater stuff, I can't imagine that not looking campy or like he's holding his breath a lot, or maybe I'm forgetting some movies that pulled it off?
>>81365661
Pretty sure the Titans show is still on the books, so don't expect a movie.
>>81365837
Honestly, I wish Snyder had a good screenwriter at his side telling him he's dumb when he wants to do something different because I like his slow mo punches.
But I haven't been able to enjoy a single movie from his since Sucker Punch because everything is super dull. He's a great visual director but has the storytelling skills of a potato.

And no one thought to stop the idiot.
>>81365793
>no one wants deep philosophical themes from a funnybook movie
Honestly I don't agree with that statement, I think there is room in the genre for that very thing.
What I'd say is, nobody came looking for deep philosophical themes in a movie with an "X vs Y" title.
Daredevil is widely popular with both fans and critics despite spending considerable time exploring the nature of morality, responsibility, and guilt.

>>81365952
That would have been a great way to make him cameo in BvS, kind of redundant in his own movie. You want to show why the depths of the ocean are freaky, not just have someone talk about how it might be.
>>81365989
The religious parallels were invented by the older movies and they were the worst parts.
>>81365675
>People will still be talking about BvS and MoS five years from now
Not in the way you probably want, I can promise you that
>>81365806
This.
I want them to fail so we can get comic book adaptations made by people who actually understand and care about the source material. Zack Snyder's spent 2 goddamn movies making it clear he doesn't remotely understand any of the characters. We've got a Superman who spends more time angsting over if he should be saving people than actually saving people, a Batman with the moral compass of Rorschach and the detective skills of a bowl of pudding, and a Lex Luthor who's a gibbering fucking imbecile.
Marvel's movies have been so successful because their respect for the source material always shines through, and their movies feel genuine. Snyder's efforts so far have been so desperate to do something different and unique, to elevate what he clearly sees as unworthy material, that he's ended up completely removed from it except on an entirely superficial level.
>>81365738
>elevate capeshit
BvS didn't elevate shit
It didn't innovate or say anything special or do any of that shit people spout. It was just the same old cape film wrapped up in a shiny package and pretended it was smarter than it actually was

You should feel like a retard because you can't tell a falseflag.

Well, it's interesting that Thor's a bit more well received by critics yet pushed away by fans for being a bit disappointing, which people would say for the film "Oh , Thor 2? The part where he fought that red elf with Loki." and not much else.
BvS is a disappointment in a different way where it affects the actors and the movie teams
>>81366026
Nope. It's much older than that. The name Kal-El I literally a reference to God and the angels.
>>81366060
lmao, you're naive if you think the movies failing will just cause them to reboot any time soon.
If anything they'll double down on Harry Potter or another WB IP and they might even shutter the comics because they're doing awful, or sell off the rights, or the company might be bought by Fox like they tried to in 2014, and we'll have a Batman on the level of f4.

>>81366133
I would guess because he doesn't quite do god-ly things, nerfed or he'd be making craters all over the Earth probably. And they are saving going full blown magic for Dr. Strange, might mean Ragnarok will let them cut him loose, especially with Hulk in tow.

They also remain truth to the spirit of the characters while being their own thing, like how Captain America 1 starts about the values that make him deserving of being a super soldier and later in the second movie how his nationalism isn't blind. Or Iron Man's emotional problems and vices that lead him to failures he has to fix. Or Thor... ... Ok, those are painfully mediocre.

Wow, it's like they've covered all the bases. Accurate economic reporting here
Given how tight their schedule for film releases is, I wouldn't be surprised if Snyder were contractually obligated to do both JL1 and JL2.
I honestly can't see him getting the boot, especially not for JL1 seeing how soon it's going into production. And if DC/WB is going for the filmmaker-driven universe they are touting, then JL2 will likely be Znyder as well.
Also, "Znyder" was a typo, but I like it enough to leave it.
>>81366232
Deadpool is pretty much the definition of a successful movie: troubled development, relatively small budget, unconventional character, limiting factors like the R-rating and the lack of China... it won against all the odds both critically and financially, while BvS is struggling with award-winning writers, actors and shit and a bazillion of dollars for budget

Can't they just get someone to co-direct with Snyder or would that be too humiliating?
>>81365681
Batfleck was the best part of BvS. He'll be fine. I just hope the new Joker is good.
>>81366283
I'm actually expecting DC to make their Harley Quinn solo after SSquad to combat or at least cash in on the R-Rated crazy killers hype.
>>81366299
Film contracts usually work one way.
Like if WB wants him to then Snyder absolutely has to direct with no way of getting out but WB most certainly has an exit clause if they want to fire him.
>>81366325
Affleck is right there.
>>81366274
As a bit of an anal-yst myself, I can safely that Batman v Superman will easily make somewhere between all the money or none of it.
Feel free to quote me on that when my prophetic prediction turns out to be 100% true.
>>81366325
I doubt he'd ever let them do that unless they threatened his first born or some shit. Theoretically Affleck could step in and help but it would be embarrassing as fuck and would probably turn into a pissing match between the two.
>>81365675
Being remembered for a long time doesn't mean it's a good movie.
>>81366123
No. I mean how Captain America looks and acts like Captain America, Thor looks and acts like Thor, Iron Man looks and acts like Iron Man, etc. If Snyder directed the Marvel movies, we'd have Captain America constantly struggling with PTSD and wondering if he should move to China, we'd have Thor floating around looking serious all the time, and we'd have depressed Iron Man using the War Machine armour.
fyi I was reading red & yellow Daredevil and original suit Iron Man before you knew who Stan Lee was.
>>81366356
A fair point. Still, I don't find it plausible for WB to up and kick the guy out. After all, it's not as if the movies he's made have failed; they both made broke even within the first weekend.
One question I almost never see asked when people discuss getting rid of Snyder: Who would be his replacement? I doubt Christopher Nolan would return, and we can also assume that previous Marvel and future DC/Marvel directors wouldn't be on the table as well. So, who?Michael Bay?
>>81366416
>we'd have Captain America constantly struggling with PTSD and wondering if he should move to China
Anon please. We saw MoS. If Snyder made a Captain American movie it would be amazingly unsubtle propaganda about how America needs to be more agressive with the outsiders to defend the country.
>>81366416
Well, it wouldn't be too bad if they'd adapt liquor-addicted Stark.
Also we already had PTSD, but with Ironman.
>>81366416
Sounds better than quipshit
>>81366442
Can't they find a filmmaker that actually read a comic book in their childhood and isn't a fucking hack?
Like i knew this shit was fucked from the start when they were touting that they take advice from Nolan of all people who doesn't know shit about DC and shits all over the source material every chance he gets, he can just get away with it because he's somewhat talented.
>>81366442
>A fair point. Still, I don't find it plausible for WB to up and kick the guy out
People thought Joss wouldn't leave Marvel but they wised up
>>81366243
I don't have a problem with comedy, but the Marvel films are just incredibly mindless in how they distribute it, and just shotgun humor, haphazardly, everywhere. Look at One Piece. It's the wackiest of Japan's Big Three, but Oda knows to turn it off when the plot would be better served through drama. Or in Star Wars, or throughout anything else with comic relief characters, ever notice how they aren't present during the big scenes with Vader? In the MCU even the villains, throughout the climaxes of the films, are portrayed as jokes.
>>81366491
Here we go with the "Every MCU movie is Age of Ultron" shit
>>81366491
if you have brain damage.
Just fucking push Justice League back and get a solo bat film with Affleck directing.
Kick Snyder to the curb and get George Miller to direct Justice League.
>>81366442
Bay's not really great with special effects, noticing how out of place and repetitive many of his explosions were in Transformers
Plus he already has Prime of Murder on his movies but is actually a bit developed in "war hero has enough of this war shit" character but lacks in putting more effort in any of the other robot characters.
He's better off with his own projects (Pain and Gain, 72 hours) than the ones he's comissioned to do.
>>81366535

Most filmmakers wasted their time watching movies as kids.
There's nothing wrong with taking creative liberties with characters. That's how we got "Elseworlds" and "Captain America: Winter Soldier".
>>81366521
Joss left on his own accord, though. Disney didn't kick him out.

I don't see how that doesn't apply here. When drama needs to happen, it happens. AoU is considered the quppiest of the movies, but it's not like they were cracking jokes during Quicksilver's death scenes. Thor 2 sucks, but it's not like Loki's "death" wasn't played for real, even IM3's PTSD was played completely straight.
>>81365939
Kamen Rider is legitimate Capekino. Nobody here can comprehend it.
>>81366474
Maybe it was wasted in one of the weakest movies, but to be fair IM2 did give us a taste of that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41PoLfHfPXc
>>81366590
Nothing wrong with taking creative liberties with the stories, but I like it less so with characters.
And the Russos claim they are familiar with Marvel comics at the very least.
>>81366578
That's actually kind of sad and pathetic they are resorting to this.
>>81366595
Haven't seen Age of Ultron, but if it doesn't treat its subject matter in the same manner as "puny god" or "dance off, bro" then it's not the quippest of the MCU movies by a long shot.

All I know is that if the "Captain Marvel" movie is objectively shit but it still wins out with critics, then we'll have actual evidence that they are either being paid off or voluntarily sucking Marvel's teats.

This cannot be real.

Or BvS just sucks?
You make it sound like Days of Future Past didn't get rave reviews and box office too
>>81364008
that was released theatrically?
>>81366770
I think that would've been more effective if Quill had to choose between grabbing his mother's hand and Gamora's instead of those being one and the same.
>>81366839
How would that have made any sense for the scene?
>>81366815
Thank goodness it's a fanpage though, for a second there i thought it might've been something official
>>81366730
Why would you need further proof? We have Thor 2 that it's arguably the worst MCU movie with the lowest score on RT (60-something, right?) and an average rating of 5.2/10, that's fair already
>>81366827
BvS has nothing to do with how there is little to no source material for Marvel to use when creating the "Captain Marvel" movie, and how what source material there is thus far does not offer much in the way of expansion.
That is to say, we're gonna have a bad time watching the movie. It'll probably be "Jessica Jones In Space", but cut down to a PG-13 rating.
>>81366839
Why? It might be just the way i interpret it, but the dead mom/Gamora parallel was to show that Quill got over his trauma and started to honestly care for people again
>>81366888
With a slapstick sidekick to make it light hearted in the beginning but to give the main character that needed motivation when at a time of doubt.
>>81366888
Maybe they'll do what GotG did and make it totally different from its source but make it work anyway
>>81366885
Sure, but I'm talking True Shit.
I'd bet that the only thing that saved Thor 2 was Loki.
>>81366916
And make them chubby. Not because of any agenda for body-size equality, but because fat people are always funny because they're fat.
Also, don't forget the fake-out death that provides a moment of motivation for Carol near the climax of the film, and then during the denouement they show up with a clean bill of health.
>>81366965
GOTG took more from the DnA/Giffen comics than the then-running Bendis comics. It's still an adaptation of the former.
I really wanted to like BvS, but the scene-to-scene editing in the first third of the film was really messy, and it devolved (unsurprisingly) into a Snyder CG destruction-fest at the end.
I wanted to say that the Christ analogies were a lot better in this film, until that fucking shot afterSuperman's death. Pylons in the shape of crucifixes and all, jesus. I thought the Kryptonite Longinus and the whale-shaped hole in the wall were actually somewhat clever.
Strangely enough, I liked Luthor. He seems really crazy instead of 'movie crazy' if you catch my meaning. I liked that it didn't hold your where his plan was concerned, e.g. there was no scene beforethe bomb in the wheelchair went off where he twirled his evil moustache about it for exposition. In fact, it didn't hold your hand at all. No explanation about Darkseid orThe Flash appearing from the Injustice/Final Crisis future, you just have to understand it or not.
>>81366965
>GotG did and make it totally different from its source
while it's different in terms of cast and the vairous plots, it still retains the spirit of DnA's run
I expected MoS and I got MoS. I am neither disappointed nor surprised.
>>81364818
I can't understand how the Jews let Snyder throw away a couple of million extra profit.
After this and f4ntastic fukup, I'm beginning to think the suits are pretty stupid people: bullshitters who think fellow bullshitters are the chosen ones. At least JJ had the sense to virtually remake Star Wars for guaranteed profit.
>>81367004
As an addendum, despiteding ding ding ding dingthe closeup on the upside-down paintingwhere the cracks/weathering in the paint make the demon's skin look like Darkseid'swas genius.
Oh and Wonder Woman was okay. Her acting wasn't that bad and her skeleton physique wasn't as annoying as I'd thought it would be, but her jumping at Doomsday just looked fucking silly. There was no weight to her movement at all
>>81366833
Probably not in the US.
it will cap off at 350 domestic and 450-525 foreign, these are optimistic
>>81365681
Most people I know who've seen it say he's great as Batman. Even my friend who was dead set on hating him thinks he was good, his favorite Batman is still Christian Bale for some reason though.
I didn't even see this movie but I hope it bombs. Its bombing is more entertaining than any capemovie.
>>81367004
>I thought the Kryptonite Longinus and the whale-shaped hole in the wall were actually somewhat clever.
To be fair it turns out the spear thingie wasn't a reference to Jesus as much as it was a reference to the movie Excalibur, where Arthur dies with a spear through his chest but he also manages to kill his opponent, pretty much similarly to how it went with Supes and Doomsday. It's also why we got the retarded Lois scenes, she was quite literally the "lady in the water" that gave the hero the magical weapon to win the fight
Snyder often speaks about how he loves that movie because it was epic and violentWhy the hell is Snyder so derivative
>>81367103
Batfleck is the consistently single praised aspect of the film. Though it's questionable certain ways he's portrayed, the acting is completely on poiont
>>81366143
They're making another HP trilogy with Rowling writing and producing.

This one pisses me off so much, had to watch DCAU for a straight week to wash the shit taste out of my mouth the movie left me with.
>>81367167
Noticed it. I was expecting Zorro.
Is DCEU salvageable or hack snyder raped it through and through?
>Mopey Man of Murder who's currently dead
>Bat of manslaughter without a good canonical explanation
>twig Wonder Woman with shit casting
>miscast Lex Luthor
>miscast Flash
>Aquaman who isn't a good actor

>>81367208
Zorro was what they had come out of. There was a poster for it that they walked past.
>>81367167
Another shit decision by Zack "we need to be edgy and different damnit" Snyder.
>>81367211
In some ways it's salvageable, but some stuff can't really be fixed without retcons or retarded plot developments. Clark Kent for example, i doubt that persona will ever be back, and even if he did Perry White doesn't care about him and Jimmy Olsen is a dead CIA agent. How do you fix that, just pretend there was another Jimmy all along? Clark comes back just when Superman does too and says he was just in a coma the whole time?
>>81367211
I think they should just have JL come out and have it end in the worst way with everybody being a villain and earth doomed.
Then reboot with a new set of movies and JL2 which is a crossover with the first JL characters and we find out it was actually earth 3 and everyone was evil the whole time.
>>81367211
Salvagable given enough retconning.
Flash and Aqua is the least offenders as they had very little to do with the movie.
>>81367211
>Mopey Man of Murder who's currently dead
He's not
>Bat of manslaughter without a good canonical explanation
Salvageable, explain it properly
>twig Wonder Woman with shit casting

Robin was murdered and left him burnt out and jaded. But you're right nobody in the movie actually spelled it out for fucking idiots like you

Perry knew Clark was Superman, why do you think he gave lois a chopper when she said it wasn't for a story
>>81367304
That's a pretty big fucking jump going from one extreme to the other. Batman killing Robin's killer would make sense
>>81367337
Doesn't explain why he was hellbent on keeping Superman from investigating the Batmanon pay.
>>81367348
Yeah. It wouldn't do for an explanation for his wreckless driving.
>>81367349
He needed the football scores more>>81367348
>>81367337
Same reason the Flash gave her a lift in MoS when she somehow managed to go where Zod and Supes where
>>81367304
Doesn't the movie imply that's the Metropolis experience and antagonism with Superman that made him that way? Or was it one of the prequel comics
>>81367326
But salvageable nonetheless. It might take and entire movie though, something that goes beyond this fucko's >>81367304 dumbshit explanation
I haven't seen the movie because I don't go to theaters. Was that one guy Hal Jordan?
>>81367387
Hal wasn't in the movie.
Cyborg, Aqua and mexican Flash was.

We won't know until the extended cut, both him and the Jenna Malone character were cut from the theater release

>I need to read about it in interview and defend all these shit choices damn it
No. Fuck off. The fact of the matter is Hack Snyder is a Hack Snyder who needs to make edgy choices not true to the canon to make himself feel superior. IT LITERALLY SAID IN A PREQUEL COMIC THAT BATMAN DOESN'T KILL BUT HE HAD TO GO OUT OF HIS WAY TO MAKE BILLIONAIRE PLAYBOY FRANK CASTLE WITH DEAD PARENTS BECAUSE IT LOOKS COOL AND MUH SUBVERSION. Stop defending that piece of shit.
