> BvS woke up from a hangover to learn that it’s on its way to a -70% weekend drop of $50.7M. That fall-off is one of the steepest for a superhero film, topping the -69% posted by 20th Century Fox’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. All this despite the fact that Bruce and Clark have the Friday-Sunday period all to themselves, without any new wide threats from the other majors,
>Not to mention the added benefit of 30% K-12 schools off, and 9% of colleges on break, per ComScore. The second Friday till for BvS of $15.3M, down 81%, looks like a collapse compared to last Friday’s $81.55M which included $27.7M in previews. Even if you strip the previews out ($53.85M), BvS’ Friday-to-Friday decline is still big at -72%
Whats your excuses now DCucks, has it been Easter all week?

>yfw 1 billion is literally impossible now
I don't work for WB so i really couldn't give a shit.
I'm just glad we finally got a great capeshit movie.
movie weekends are sinusoidal. literally everyone knows this
This disaster of on opening will have no survivors
In all seriousness, hopefully this means Zack Synder gets fired. I'm a DCfag and I want there to be a lot of DC live action films like there are a lot of Marvel films. I don't want DC to be family friendly comedies like Marvel has become, I like the more serious tone. But Synder is not the guy to do it. He's a good visual director but he needs to go back to film school to learn about how a plot works. He's had 2 chances now and he failed both tries. He needs to go.
>>67784401
Deathly Hollows fell more than this tho
and made a fukin billion
>>67784546
>>67784546
op here, they should have Ben take over, hes not pretentious like Snyder, well not as much
>>67784572
Yeah but this has no legs and is doing horribly internationally
>>67784459
Yea, I'm not invested in company wars. BvS is the best supehero movies since Winter Solider, and I'm glad we sometimes get a good one among all the crap.
WB is on the verge of firing Snyder and the idiots who gave him $250 million.
If they wanted a good Superman film they should of modeled the character similar to Captain America in the First Avenger. They both have similar personalities, are very outdated for the time but Marvel is able to pull it off because they established Captain is from the 1940s and is boyscout schikt is refreshing today because the world is full of cynicism and Cap. provides an escape to that. You can do something similar to Superman, hes an alien farmboy where having similar convictions to Cap wouldn't seem out of touch. But WB wants to make Superman dark and grim when most of his history he's been the opposite
>>67784628
The movie still made money. Even if he does suck why would they fire him if he turns a profit?
>a movie with fucking BATMAN and fucking SUPERMAN
>and they're FIGHTING each other
>will make less than $1 billion
This has to be one of the biggest flops of all-time
>>67784908
It needs a billion to break even. A movie like this should make 200 million in profit, theres a good chance it won't make a profit. His vision cost a studio profits. They could of made a movie with Deadpool's budget and get the same if not better results
>>67784765
Captain America is by far my least favorite character.
He's absolute idealism is boring and silly.
>>67785218
Nobody fucking asked you your opinion, sperg.
>>67785218
Thankfully everyone else disagrees with your shitty opinion
>>67784908
big companys are not happy when something just makes a tiny bit of profit.
>>67785218
Cap is based as fuck. It's boring for Superman because 'doing the right thing' comes at no cost to him. He's basically invincible so it becomes easy to do it good.
Its also interesting to watch a guy out of time try to find a place in the new world.
>>67785276
actually many people agree with me.
he's one dimensional as fuck (like many comic book heroes)
>>67785329
If you dumb him down to one-dimension yeah, he's boring like every single character ever.
>>67785314
>It's boring for Superman because 'doing the right thing' comes at no cost to him
didn't he just die in BvS? And it's funny you say that because the stakes in Marvel movies are so low that you couldn't pay me to care about them.
>>67785314
*easy to do good
>>67785382
Marvel had more heroes die in their movies than DC has.
>>67785218
It's true, but Marvel is doing a decent job with him. Better than the comic version at least.
>>67785329
>>67785329
Well he's popular with a lot of people and makes a shitton of money. He'd be more popular than Iron Man if Iron Man wasn't Robert Downy
>>67785382
>didn't he just die in BvS?
If you mean pretend to die for an incredibly stupid reason then yes.
>And it's funny you say that because the stakes in Marvel movies are so low that you couldn't pay me to care about them.
>Marvel movies
Just stop.
doesn't matter dc was never in it for the money. marvel will just jew out a few generic quipshit flicks every year for a quick buck. while dc put time and effort to create and revolutionize the superhero medium
marvel is for children and women. DC is for men.
>>67784624
This. I'm ranking it, "The Dark Knight," and "Unbreakable" as the three greatest cape movies ever made.
>>67785510
>>67785510
If DC was never in it for money, why did they spend more money on advertising BvS than it's production budget, and why are they copying Marvel's extended universe?
>>67785218
I agree
>>67785510
>>67785510
True. Zack Snyder is the kinorama master. He mixes cold war thriller with surreal and dali and cyberpunk. Marvel makes feeble entertainment to retarded children.
>>67785471
Not him, but they are.
Granted, they'll probably kill off Captain America in Civil War just because it happened in the comic, but it'll be just as shitty as killing Superman in BvS.
>>67785510
well said fellow dc bro
>>67785314
They literally made 2 movies showing the costs of doing the right thing and they even had to kill Superman to finally redeem him.
The MCU needed about 10 movies for people to think "Oh maybe they should take responsibility for all the shit that happened" and Cap couldn't care less.. MCU is just a Cardboard made world with cardboard made issues.
>>67785471
>incredibly stupid reason
>defeating a nuclear hulking giant bent on destruction
hah okay, lad
>>67785510
>Marvel is for normies
>DC is for manchildren
fixed it for you senpai
This is going to end up making less than Minions. What a fucking embarrassment.
>>67785634
It took 10 movies because Marvel didn't try to cram everything in 10 movies in one like BvS
>>67785581
FUCK YOU
>>67785640
And why was it that he had to take the spear thats deadly only to him and the monster? Why couldn't fucking Wonder Woman have taken it?
>>67785634
What the fuck are you talking about? That was clearly a theme in the movies where it was required.
>and Cap couldn't care less
Probably because he didn't do anything wrong, and was just cleaning up other people's messes.
>>67785634
>They literally made 2 movies showing the costs of doing the right thing and they even had to kill Superman to finally redeem him.
how in the fuck does this go over someone's head?
it's almost like they didn't even watch the movie.
>>67785595
>He mixes cold war thriller with surreal and dali and cyberpunk.
I really hope you're parodying Zack Snyder fans.
>>67785757
>Supes saves someone
>The media go apes whether he should really do that
>>67785755
When? All i can remember was Sokovia people bashing Iron Man lookalike drone BECAUSE the hated Tony.
While all the American kids were wearing Caps t-shirt and shit.
>>67785510
Right. And RDJ's actually a really tall guy :^)
>>67784912
Deadpool makes this even more embarrassing. Snyder should just commit sudoku and save everyone time and trouble.
No one knows what it's like
To be the Batman
To be the sad man
Behind this chin
No one knows what it's like

No, it's not. I understand that they say that's what they wanted, but that's not what they put on the screen. I won't congratulate them for their reach clearly exceeding their grasp.

God, I fucking wish BvS had action scenes the length and general quality of Winter Soldier. Instead they were all short, and just one of them was well choreographed.
>>67785966

>>67785634
1. Iron Man- small scale, intro of fist mainstream hero into the world
2. Captain America-contained to the battlefield, American hero who was more of a soldier
3. Iron Man 2- Iron Man still only hero known to public, still small scale
4. Thor-god who lives in another dimension, contained to small town and unknown to rest of world
5. Hulk-army experiment, small scale and rest of world is unaware
6. Avengers- Alien invasion, Avengers come in and save the world and stop destruction
7. Iron man 3- Tony drinks alot, still small scale conflict with some douche loser
8.Winter Soldier- Cap's friend comes back to kill him, conflict contained to SHIELD
9. Thor 2-takes place in space, everyone unaware
10. Guardians of the Galaxy-takes place in space, no one knows about it
11. Avengers 2- Tony and Jarvis have a child who is a homicidal maniac who wants to kill humanity, the hulk is a racist and starts going crazy in Africa. First movie where actions of superheros put's the world in jeopardy.
12. Antman-comfy movie with no real repercussions
13. Civil War- Tony realizes maybe superheros should be regulated and Captain America dosen't think its a good idea for Tony and TSA of heros to regulate superheros
>>67785997

High heels really makes your butt stand out.
>>67786266
Because they want in on those big billion numbers NOW, lest capeshit suddenly becomes less popular.
>>67786161
Exactly, they have to make a plot where everything ends up being on a small scale. Which is totally gay
>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.
The greatest JUSTing of our time
If Warner doesn't fire Hack Snyder they're commiting suicide. if JUSTice league bombs as well it'll be hilarious.
>>67786364
Thats how you build an extended universe, instead of having them on spy cam in Lex's computer
If you had told me a few years ago that Ant-Man and Deadpool would have better movies than Batman vs. Superman, I wouldn't have believed you
What's waiting WB to kick out Snyder after this and just leave Batman to Ben Affleck to make something good with it? You can say everything about him but in the interviews about the bad reviews the looked conscious about what happened meanwhile others were in denial mode

Post yfw LEGO Batman does better than BvS
Funny thing how DC never changes, they're always catching up to Marvel.
When all comic books had the depth of a cardboard box and comics sales were on all-time low, Marvel came up with Fantastic Four and the advent of human character flaws. DC tried to follow suit, but they still didn't sell as good as Marvel. What followed was them copying Marvel in every way they could.
Stan Lee says at one point, they thought Marvel's success was because they had dialogue in the cover, so they started doing that as well. Of course it didn't work, so Marvel stopped putting dialogue in their covers and their comics sold just as well.
Now they'll make their movies more "fun" just like Marvel's to try and salvage this crap they got themselves into.
Top fucking kek.
>>67786364
No this is good. The Marvel movies with more grounded action are generally more engaging than shit like 100 flying robots and CGI alien swarms.
BVS failed to resonate with the audience because it's basically released a sequel to a bunch of movies WB didn't bother to make.
Do any of the DC character have charisma outside of Ben? People want to shit on Will Smith as Deadshot but he's the only guy who has real charisma like Ben
>>67786554
>>67786499
Hell even just fucking Iron Man. If someone had traveled back in time and told me a movie titled Iron Man 3 would interest more people than the first Superman movie in a decade, I'd have laughed my ass off.
>>67786642
It's like DC continually fails to understand what makes Marvel flicks good
>>67786559
Tbf zootopia is comfy af
>>67786093
DC is shit compared to Marvel.
They have two marketable characters compared to Marvel which has about 2 dozen.
>>67786609
I think that only would save Batman and could leave the other characters as literally who in that universe
>>67786740
Thats the thing, all the avengers where third tier characters in Marvel comics. Spiderman and X-men were the only characters the main stream cared about, and Marvel studios didn't even have the film rights Today all of the Avengers are on the same ground as Spiderman, X-men, Superman, and Batman
>>67786093

And Marvel is making even its unmarketable characters marketable (see GOTG, Ant Man)
>>67786816
Marvel had like 4 or 5 before the movies. Nobody gave a fuck about Ironman before 2008. Now even fucking Groot is almost as popular as Batman. Marvel is making their characters famous.

I like MCU, but the unrealistically low death toll numbers are super retarded. Especially since it seems like CW is going to treat it as if thousands died anyways. so what's the point?

It's true though
>>67786916
$250m budget, $150m advertising. 50% of ticket sales so it needs $800m. The people who say a billion are rounding or just remembering all the DCucks swearing it would make over a billion
>>67785314
>He's basically invincible
I blame the movies for never showing the scale of Supermans threats. Even weak tier villains like Metallo and Parasite are tailor made to fuck with him. It's like people think he deals with faggots like Two Face and the Riddler

>falling for April Fool's Day prank
Just got back from this movie. I expected a train wreck and was still disappointed. I didn't absolutely hate the movie; maybe a Phantom Edit will polish it up a bit. But I was still disappointed. That's the only word for it.
Multiple children in the audience cried. Yeah, that's the fault of idiot parents taking little Timmy to a PG-13 movie, but I don't see how they could have expected something this terrible. A little girl behind me whispered, "Daddy, did Superman really just die...?"
Dumb manchildren needing external validation that the children's characters they didn't grow out of are "mature" and "dark" have ultimately ruined those characters for the next generation of children.
>>67786841
Same with Deadpool. The studio was forced into trying something 'new' with a lesser known character on a lower budget, and it worked.
If Marvel hadn't been forced to take a risk with Iron Man, they probably would never have been able to challenge Batgod's or Superman's profits.

The worst part of all of this is BvS is pretty good for a capeshit movie. I honestly have no idea why all these critics shat all over it, butchering it's chances at a billion. It doesn't make sense and its really not fair.
>>67787005
In Daredevil there is a newspaper clipping stating 200 died in the NY battle (Loki personally killed 74), which is still a ridiculously low number considering all of the mayhem and destroyed buildings.

Tony didn't realize that superheroes should be regulated. He realized that it was stark industries all over again. Tony built missiles like the Jericho to be so deadly, effective and terrifying that they'd only need to be used once. He wanted to stop conflicts, not start them.
And then he found out that his own weapons had been perverted into something he had never been intended, harming innocents. So he built the suit and eventually helped build the avengers- to protect the world. But now he's seeing it all happen again. Ultron was an attempt to make the world safe: it backfired and corrupted. So now he's seeing that the avengers are corrupting and backfiring as well just like Stark Industries. Weapons he built to protect the world are destroying it and he can't stop it.
Poor Tony...
the movie is really being over criticized. Its not any worse than avengers 2
>>67787128
Capeshit's bubble was going to burst after the conclusion of Infinity Wars, right now people are just waiting for the payoff
>>67787067
it's totally fair and I am glad it happened. And I say that as a fan of DC. Because I want good DC movies. And they won't be happening without this crashing and burning.
It's not a good movie. Is it absolute horseshit? No. But it is a trainwreck that could have been made into 3-4 different good movies if it had been handled by competent people instead of the mess we got.
Stop apologizing for the movie or calling it unfair because "muh DC" or "muh Snyder" or "fuck Marvel". It is a bad movie and if you can't see that you are deluding yourself because of a misguided sense of loyalty.

What alternate reality are you living in? This shit needs to make at least a billion to break even and that might not happen since it has had such a colossal drop off. Any day now WB is going to announce that Snyder has been fired and Justice League is being delayed.
can we just agree that BvS was good? It had flaws but they didn't really detract from the overall experience. Frankly DC have to rush compared to marvel, if they took the same pacing with their universe the superhero craze would have died out when marvel finish with it in cinema.

Some 50yo man behind me asked me if I liked the movie. When I turned around, he was all teary and was like 'man why did they fight, superman and batman cant fight' and he was just as sad about the death part.
Idk I think people were just expecting more capeshit and they got blown out with a drama with touching existencialist questions about man and mankind and the death of the untouchable 'hero' figure.
>>67787027
Titling the movie BATMAN V SUPERMAN, only to make it completely unsuited, tedious, confusing and scary for kids is some sort of a cruel joke from WB imo.
What kind of kid isn't going to see that title and beg their parents to take them to it despite the rating? And what kind of parent who grew up loving these heroes wouldn't want to take their kids to experience those two iconic characters together on the big screen?
I don't want all cape movies to be kiddie friendly, but I think it's sad these characters are being made to appeal to adults only.

You would have to be completely retarded to think BvS is in anyway a success. You can argue about the quality of the movie but the reviews and box office results are a disaster.
>>67787341
It's funny, they are trying to go the dark "Frank Miller" route which isn't appropriate for kids and his stories aren't box office success
>>67787204
I have no loyalty to DC because I don't have autism. When I was watching it I kept waiting for it to get shit like I heard but it never did. 3 issues with the whole film: eisenberg was shit, the Martha thing was a bit weak, the after credits scene with wonder woman was in the middle of the movie. Out of those 3 the only serious issue is eisenberg. It's better than every marvel movie, fox or Disney, since GotG.
JUST
>>67787178
But maybe, by now, Tony should start realizing the world would be better if he just fucking stopped making weapons of mass destruction to save it.
>>67787245
To be fair, BvS has good things on it, like Batman and Alfred interacting and doing things, was really nice but like a movie overall was bad, i can't defend it

That's the worst part. They talk about giving the "new generation" new versions of those superheroes, but it's not aimed at this generation at all.
>>67787449
Can somebody explain this to me since I'm a fucking idiot. If the movie cost 250 million to make, why does it need 929 million to make a profit? Isn't anything over 250 million a profit?
>>67787486
It's not a fact, it's just rumors
>>67787486
Apparently every funny part of the movie was shown in the trailer.
>>67787412
>"more fun"
Oh god no
>>67787438
The "Martha" thing would of worked if everything before that wasn't so pretentious
>>67786543
They may not be able to get anyone else on the project before they need to start filming Justice League
>>67787287
No, I support Cap. Tony is delusional, he's tried controlling and keeping the world safe with Stark Industries, with Iron Man, with the Avengers, with Ultron and it just doesn't work. Even if he got his way with the new registration act, it would inevitably backfire. Government regulated and controlled superheroes? Fucking no thanks m8.
Go cap
>>67787479
i mean i wont admit im hot shit when it comes to critiquing movies but as someone indifferent to marvel/dc as a whole but with a minimal knowledge of their universes, I thought BvS beat most marvel films, maybe the differing quirks made me see past some of marvel's cut and paste releases for it to get there, but regardless it was pretty great
>>67787170
Time and space on every TV, website, billboard, and building you can think of. Then add in what's left of print media and anywhere else you may see ads for movies. Then bring that shit globally.
>>67787504
Production budget doesn't ≠ the amount of money the studio spent on the movie. Production budget doesn't include advertising costs and tons of other shit.
>>67785432
>DUDE FUCK THE POLICE AND ALMOST KILL A MAJORITY OF MY ALLIES BECAUSE OF MY FRIEND
LMAO!
>>67787504
250 million is just the production costs. Then you have the marketing costs, the money they have to put to get the movie released on theaters, and they don't get 100% of the tickets revenue, specially from foreign BO
>>67787504
taxes, mainly from the box office in foreign countries, they get little of that money.
>>67787504
Studio gets less than half of box office.
And marketing campaign cost them 150 million $.
>>67784572
Deathly had to deal with bigger threats than "God isn't dead 2"
>>67787438
>the Martha thing was a bit weak
That's not the sole thing that stopped Bruce. While it helped and seriously fucked with Bruce's head for a second, it was remembering "Lois is the key" from the "Flashback" that stopped him. A lot more going on there than the "muh Martha" crowd would have one believe.
>>67787504
the 250 was the production budget for shooting the movie. WB spent like another 250 million to advertise for it, and the studio only gets half of what it makes at the box office
>>67787438
if you really think these are the only issues with the movie I think we have a very different taste.
Mind you, there were good things in it. Lots even. But most of them individual things. The grand picture was a mess. The movie was overloaded with too much stuff that simply wasn't needed or should have been in a separate movie. It felt like a gigantic mess of promising puzzle pieces that someone had just thrown into a pile and called it a day.
>>67787579
>specially from foreign BO
This, Spaniard here, Batman v Superman here had a lower opening than Man of Steel
JUST
>>67787504
They only get about 50% of the box office, the rest goes to theatres. And a movie as big as BvS will have a huge marketing budget, so they need to cover that as well.
On top of that, BvS isn't a very kid friendly movie so their toy sales are gonna be shit. Marvel makes more money from their toy sales then the movies, not even kidding.
Sony had spiderman movie rights, but marvel still had the toy rights and they made more off the toys than Sony did on the movies.
>>67785379
You're a bro for posting this one. One of the greatest.
>>67787504
Studios only get a % of ticket sales
Something like 60% domestic and 30% international IIRC
$350m dom = $210 to studio
$600m intl = $180 to studio
= $390 for the studio
>>67787449
When will Hollywood die? This is seriously fucking ridiculous. Infinity War will cost 500 million $ per movie and require 1.2 billion box office to break even.
Meanwhile something like Madoka Magica makes over 400 million $ at a budget of 5 million $.
Hollywood is unsustainable. Those movies became too expensive.
>>67787474
He's too much of an egomaniac for that, it's all part of his character
>>67787577
Neat, you saw the movie already?
>>67787577
Bucky is more than Cap's friend, he's his brother
>I'm with you to the end of the line
dem feels man, you'd understand if you had a good relationship with your siblings
>>67787683
It's simple, they'll just adapt anime. I look forward to my Fate/Zero Hollywood adaptation.
I actually feel kind of bad for torrenting it after it turned out to be really enjoyable. But no way I was gonna pay for it after that critical reception
>>67787611
Lois is the key is the stupidest fucking thing ever. Honestly it's just the stupidest fucking thing
I fucking hate it when the love interest becomes a major plot element because muh love story
fuck that shit
>>67787743
I'm going to it tomorrow, you should join me anon.
>>67787648
>Sony had spiderman movie rights, but marvel still had the toy rights and they made more off the toys than Sony did on the movies.
Just watched camrip
So fucking happy that I didn't waste money with tickets.
I told all my friends to not watch it since it got bad reviews, but they still went and saw it the dumb cucks
>>67787751
Yeah I forgot about that bit. That was the worst bitin the whole film actually and it didn't even go anywhere. Amy Adams in the bath made me cum in my undies tho so I guess it balanced out.
>>67787781
but it's true anon
plus three of the spiderman movies sucked literal ass
Will Capcom team up with DC?
>>67787794
I'm a manager at a movie theater so I never pay for movies. It's kind of nice knowing that when I see bad movies I'm not giving them any money.
>>67787807
2 of them were legendary capeshit though
>>67787781
Big cape movies, and any Disney movie in general, is basically a high budget commercial for the merchandise.
>>67787611
>it was remembering "Lois is the key" from the "Flashback" that stopped him.
You pulled that from your ass
There's nothing to indicate he remembered the warning and that made him stop
>>67787727
>Live action Naruto with whites and jews and couple token blacks
Can't wait
>>67787727
That seems natural. Manga sell better than US comics even in USA.
But I guess most well known brands will be out of reach since nips won't sell rights for them.
>>67787841
>12 years since Spider-man 2 came out
>>67787848
>they write out Hinata and make Naruto a legit homo
I just cant wait for Capeshit to die and vidyashit to take the mantle. Soon, lads soon
Will Snyder be publically executed for this?
>>67787794
Hurr look at me camrip cuck
>>67787848
I ain't ever seen a naturally blond Jap with blue eyes.
>>67787897
>vidyashit
My sides.
There's enough capeshit for a few decades.
>>67787897
What video games would make good movies? The World Ends With You?
>>67787781
>>67787807
That's also the reason why Feige so desperately wanted ASM2 to be good and why they're helping Sony with a new reboot despite getting 0 money from box office - toy market isn't a joke, if the movie is great, they'll get billions
>>67787872
>tfw you never watched spurdoman 1 or 2 in theatres
>>67787943
This year it's Asscreed, next year who knows? I'm hoping for TES and BioShock
>>67787751
Clark's human friends have always been a central part of his character, though. Having people that let him forget how different he is helps him stay in touch with humanity. That coupled with being able to pretend he's not an alien powerhouse and interact with people as one of them are pretty much all that makes him able to relate to humanity.
>>67787897
>implying I want my vidya to be adapted to your inferior medium
Dark Souls for the first time is a better experience than ANY movie
can't prove me wrong because my opinion is literal scientific infallible fact written into the laws of the universe
>>67788001
So they flop and they teach each of those studios that videogames can't make non-garbage movies?
>>67788003
>And Zack killed one of them just for fun
Someone still defending this hack?
>>67788003
So then why didn't they put that into the movie?
Rather than: ayyyymuhdicklmaao
>>67787940
Capeshit is choking. BvS is a disaster. Infinity War is going to underperform worse than Ultron.
It's a fad and it's slowly coming to an end.
>>67788090
Zack was to preoccupied portraying Clark as Jesus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYKeQczkFfM
>>67787919
Hurr look at me I spent money on a shit film and i'm butthurt
>>67787943
Neptunia with Console War replaced by DC vs Marvel.
>>67788130
Infinity War will probably break box office records as long as its ok. Everyone knows about Infinity Wars and how every Marvel movie released is leading up to it. After Infinity War then capeshit will be over
>>67788209
Everybody knew about Ultron too.
Thanos is a shitty and boring villain nobody cares about. The second gen of Avengers is less popular then the first.
If it's really good it could make 2 billion per movie, but I'd bet on 1.2-1.5 billion.
>>67788209
But what about spidey
>>67788209
Agreed, infinity war will be the end of all capeshit.
If civil war is great like winter soldier, then we can know for sure that infinity war will also be great.
And let's face it everyone will go see it just for Thanos who they spent the last fucking forever hyping up.
>>67784908
Because his name is poison now. And having it attached will not bring money in.
>>67788322
>Thanos who they spent the last fucking forever hyping up
And it didn't work because nobody is hyped for him.
>>67787487
>marvelkeks are this delusional
why am i not surprised?
>>67788040
Asscreed is coming out 1 week after star wars
I wouldn't be surprised if they delay it for a more favorable release window.
>>67788282
That was part of Ultron's problem, everyone knew that it was leading up to Infinity Wars so there wasn't as much anticipation, also because it wasn't as good as the first Avengers
>>67787388
dubs of logic
>>67788282
>Implying AOU was a flop
It wasn't good, but it still holds the place as the 9'th highest inbringing movie of all time. 1.4 bil is not a joke.
>>67788358
They can only un-just this mess if they leave movies to people like affleck or miller, at least they give confidence to the people, trusting again in snyder is a suicide
>>67788028
Dark souls is shit
>>67788374
>And it didn't work because nobody is hyped for him.
This
I swear to god they need to have him actually doing shit, instead of him sitting around doing nothing.
I wanna see shit like this in Thor Ragnarok
>>67788374
They will the moment IW begins the marketing campaign.
The masses don't even know Infinity War has been announced.
>>67788406
It had a much higher budget but made less money.
No, it was not a flop. But it was a sign of people getting bored with cape movies.
Is this it? Is capeshit finally dying?
>>67788499
Do you remember how hyped people were for Ultron after that strings trailer?
Thanos is not even close. And I doubt he's ever going to be. Guy just looks lame.
>>67788452
This. Every Thanos scene so far has been him sitting on a fucking chair or walking around in his room. He hasn't done shit so far.
>>67786123
>>67786543
Basically.
I mean shit, they vet actors and stuff to make sure they have "star power" in their films.
Why wouldn't anyone have taken a critical look at Snyder's previous films and then realised what was going to happen?
I don't know who the production company is, but I think they're the first link in the chain of incompetence.
Snyder's only mainstream successful movies have been 1:1 adaptations of comic books with very little rewriting of the characters or plot. His only real success as a director is good visuals but even then the best shots in his movies are copies of comic book panels.
It's so fucking obvious that he's a low-tier director, I can only think the producers excuse is that they needed someone immediately to start churning out movies and Snyder was the only guy available.
Look a this guy. He's ridiculous. Like some pink Shrek.
>>67788544
Do you remember how hyped people were for about 4 years ever since Nick Fury appeared in the Iron Man post-credits?
Do you remember how hyped people were just because of the subtitle of the first Captain America movie?
The hype for Avengers 1 was way higher than AoU ever had.
>>67788616
Maybe among comics fans. I don't remember much mainstream hype at all. Many people were joking how it's going to be completely horrible.
>>67784908
>what is revenue
>what is profit
>>67787160
God this is the "crying DC wojack wearing smug mask"-est post ever.
>>67787245
>can we just agree that BvS was good?
No, fuck off.
>>67788596
He has the greatest panty-moistening smile of any super villain is history! I watch that scene in it's entirety everytime to watch Thanos smile. No other antagonist will match his charisma.
>>67788506
Yeah no. AOU making more than a billion riding on Avenger/Iron Man hype is not a sign of anything 'dying'. People will respond negatively to bad capeshit and bad word of mouth will hurt their sales, but shlock like BVS still made those 500 mil on brand recognition alone. Both AOU and BVS just weren't that good movies deserving any praise. People blew their load for WS.
The audience is gradually becoming more critical though. The first X-men movies would probably not have been very well received today.
>>67788676
Oh no, people were absolutely hyped and the marketing campaign was huge.
It was the first team-up movie ever made.
AoU just was the sequel, it didn't bring anything new to the table, Avengers 1 was like Avatar but in a smaller scale, it came at the right time, it hit the right places and it delivered what it promised.
>>67788564
He doesn't have to do shit because every marvel geek hypes him up to the normies.
Thats another area where Marvel and DC differ, Marvel geeks are more satisfied with Marvel films and then give them free promotion where as DC geeks are like a bad girlfriend who are always vocal with their dissapointment
>>67788506
It was made for 50 million more and made like 100 million less.
It was only a slightly less smash hit as avengers 1
>>67788506
Same budget as B v S :^)
Shows how badly of a flop this is
>>67788792
>where as DC geeks are like a bad girlfriend who are always vocal with their dissapointment
Are you kidding me?
Look at this guy >>67787160
He's happy that the DCEU is being led by a guy who has no idea what he's doing.
>>67788768
its depressing that they can never make a worthy live action Dr. Doom
>>67787160
>SS reshoots
>Snyder will probably get the boot any minute now
>Wonder Woman being re-written to be less related to BvS
BvS has damaged the DCEU more than any Marvel movie could ever do.
>>67784908
you really think the studio will be happy about this movie failing to make Avengers money?
