Can we all agree now that being iconic has nothing to do with box office success?
Yeah, I think Civil War will have the same fate, but worse.
What's happening to superheroes?
>>68049716
I thought we all knew that since Guardians of the Galaxy was a massive success.
Casuals don't care about iconic characters.

>>68049716
Being iconic doesn't mean anything in this day and age.
Supes really needs something to break up the visual of that spandex, looks like his dick should be imprinted through it.
Or maybe don't do the 6 pack effect?
>>68049716
I assure you that if it was Beast Boy vs Blue Beetle, it wouldn't even earn half of what BvS earned
BvS earned what it earned entirely on the names of Batman and Superman. The only reason it wasn't a huge success was cause the movie is a pile of dog shit
well, they wouldn't get to 800mil without being two of the most iconic characters ever with such a shitfest of a movie
>>68049717
This. Civil War will be the blunder of the year, doesn't mean cap isn't iconic
>>68049722
Or if it was Overman v Nightman.
>>68049725
What about Dayman vs Nightman?
>>68049717
>>68049724
>Civil war will be the blunder if the year
I thought that was foxmen?

What, is there going to be another cave troll, and Cap and Tony stop fighting because their moms have the same middle name?

Ohoho

There's going to be a German troll and cap and Tony stop fighting because they hear cuckys name
>>68049730
So Civil War is still the blunder of 2016?
What about Doc strange?
>>68049733
Fuck if I know, I have next to no interest in that film or character.
>>68049729
What's a /co/ck/ thread?
Anyone recall the predictions of BvS that were supposed to make it awesome?
Something about Aquaman having a whole subplot in the movie.
Doomsday evolving to not look like a cave troll.
Dunno if anyone ever thought Lex wouldn't be a spazzing faggot.
Anyone expect Lex to properly trick them into fighting each other rather than actually making it a hostage situation fight? The only way that could have been a good thing is if Bats listens to Supes but radios back to Nightwing or one of the Bat-family to tell them to find Ma Kent while they put on a show for Luthor, even then I don't know that there'd be any weight to their fight.
Let's have a decent discussion on 2016 films?
Now that deadpool and Batman v superman are out, what are you hyped for?
>>68049737
X-Men: Apocalypse and Suicide Squad will be the saviors of capeshit 2016.

That's it, DC is finished. Iconic characters are their only claim to fame.

DC should have made Lois black, their movies would have gotten better reviews by default.
>>68049716
Being iconic can be helpful, but you still need to build your audience.
Avengers and Star Wars are only so successful because they got a have a huge fan-following over the years.
So far Man of Steel and Batman v Superman were more successful than any of Marvels Phase 1 solo flicks (thanks to their iconic popularity).
If this trend continues with Suicide Squad and WW, then maybe they got a possible shot at 1 billion with Justice League.
But the suits prolly expected more success much earlier... just like Sony imagined that ASM2 would magically break $1b.
Cinematic Universes are a slow long-term investment, not a quick buck.
>>68049746
>People on /co/ counting out X-Men once again only to later be proven wrong time after time.
I really shouldn't be surprised at this point.
>>68049745
The best Batman movie to date made only $374m worldwide.
>>68049749
I mean, I'm sure it's gonna be good but "savior"?
>>68049749
Days of future past was awful, and apocalypse looks even worse.
>>68049716
Nah, if they weren't iconic they would have flopped fant4stic - like. It's just that iconic characters bring you only so far, so if your movie sucks you're not going to make as much money as an actual good movie with less iconic characters.
>>68049743
Studios receive roughly 50% of the gross. Remember, people like distributors if it's not also the production company, theatres and the government get their share to. Big movies also tend to have big marketing budgets. Deadpool cost 58 Million to make and 100 Million to market. Bigger the movie, bigger the marketing budget.
Point is, a 250 Million dollar movie the size of B vS, according to many industry insiders will most likely need to pull in at least 3 times it's budget if not more to make a profit on the film. 50 Million profit is not particularly great for a movie this big.
>>68049747
I unironically support black Lois.
>>68049752
Most people would disagree with you on that one, m8.
>>68049741
NOT BEING MARVEL is the greatest asset DC has desu.
They are everything's plan B.
>Legit marketing strategy
>>68049757
>NOT BEING MARVEL is the greatest asset DC has desu.
Considering Marvel's already made more in 10 years on capeshit than have in 40, apparently it isn't.
>>68049717
>What's happening to superheroes?
The trend is passing. People want to blame it all on BvS, but this was already happening. Like cowboys, ninjas, cyborgs, and zombies, superheroes have a limited cultural shelf life with normies.
>>68049758
>40%
Oh god
>>68049758
...Are they bringing 4:3 back?
>>68049760
That's bullshit. Deadpool just came out and it was a huge hit. Daredevil is one of Netflix most popular shows. The only trend that's passing is the idea that WB can be trusted to make a good super hero movie post 2008.
>>68049721
I like the look he had recently in the comics where there were two red diagonal stripes almost meeting at the crotch. It kept the aesthetic appeal of the outside-briefs without the silliness.
>>68049736
>Dunno if anyone ever thought Lex wouldn't be a spazzing faggot.
There were entire threads dedicated to calling anyone who didn't obviously see that lex is only putting on an act a fucking casual.
>>68049737
Pretty much only the Marvel ones, desu. Civil War is bound to be stuffed to the gills, but with the writing and directing team of Winter Soldier, there's bound to be some good fight scenes and heart-wrenching moments.
Strange has the look of a hit in the making. I can't wait for that next trailer.
I was hyped for Suicide Squad, but the rumors surrounding the reshoots, and the fact tat there turned out to be reshoots after all, killed it for me.
Couldn't give any less of a shit about Apocalypse.
>>68049750
Batman Begins was coming off of Batman & Robin, a film that at the time killed any interest in the Batman film franchise, delaying any future installments. Now thanks to the Nolan trilogy, Batman is more popular than ever.
There's no excuse for this one, honestly.
>made less millions benefits than expected
>IT'S A FAILURE
I hate when fandoms talk like marketing suits.
>>68049760
Bullshit. BvS fucked up. Deadpool is making more money than it. People aren't bored, they just are starting to have higher standards because the sheer number of movies is kind of forcing them to pick a team.
WB fucked up bad enough that people won't care to follow it anymore. Even FOX will if they don't re-evaluate their approach after Apocalypse and Deadpool.
>>68049760
Sure friend
>>68049758
Now that's odd. What ratio will the super duper special director's cut be?
>>68049760
>superheroes have a limited cultural shelf life with normies.
Kek, how fucking young are you?
Marvel might be trendy right now, but super heroes in general have always been really fucking popular.
Super hero films are always blockbusters, and comic books have always been a huge part of pop culture.
>>68049717
>>68049724
>>68049760
>being this delusional
Marvel's not going anywhere. Hell, they literally moved the full review embargo up to next Wednesday just to laugh in your faces.
The fact of the matter is that there was never a Superhero "trend". Marvel has a great producer who makes relatively competent bets. WB, Fox and Sony have generally have idiot producers who 9/10 times make awful bets. Superhero films aren't a "phenomenon", Marvel is simply to summer blockbusters what Pixar/Disney "run by same producers as Pixar" Animation is to cartoon movies: slightly more intelligent than the autistic competition.
>>68049760
As long as good genre movies come out, or at least if they don't underperform, the genre stays hot.
>>68049760
It will pass eventually, but not yet. BvS not earning the money it's supposed to is not a sign of superheroes failing, but simply the film not being very good.
>>68049760
>>The trend is passing.
I love this fucking excuse. It's just another passing the buck like "there's a conspiracy by Disney" or "the audiences are brainwashed".
Let's just ignore that Days of Future Past, Deadpool and Ant-Man were all successes that got confirmed sequels. No, it's that people are clearly bored of heroes and not that a movie just sucked
Whoa dude

>>68049955
Yes.
>>68050011
Least amount? There are as much capeshit threads as comic and cartoons. The board is literally called comics and cartoons you could at least expect a little less threads.
Why don't we all set a date to go see BvS as a special /tv/ movie night out to help boost the numbers? It'll be super comfy.
>>68049716
No we can't. It still made millions even though it was pure horseshit. If the character were not iconic and had completely different names, nobody would have even watched this movie.
>>68050374
Nah.
>>68050586
Then maybe they would have had to make it good, like Guardians of the Galaxy.
Is Negasonic Teenage Warhead now more likable than Superman?
>>68051283
Yeah probably. WB is probably the worst offender at "It's gonna sell because the characters are iconic, so we ca dl whatever"
Marvel is aware that their characters are literally whos so they try to make their characters, movies and stories as compelling as possible to draw the audience in.
I mean shit who even HEARD of GotG before the Marvel movie?

Nobody cares
>>68051488
Have you been living under a rock? this already happened, before watching the movie everybody complained, but the changes paid off.
>>68049716
Word of mouth is huge. That's what made deadpool a fucking 900% profit. People don't go to the movies to be bummed, that's what museums are for, and in the age of technology that we live in where someone can walk out of a theater and tweet out "just saw BvS, don't bother wait for DVD" anyone on the fence is going to stay home.
Also BvS was a financial success, barely, but it under-preformed to WB expectations.

There is a noticeable fatigue of superhero movies, but genre is still going strong. I expect the suprhero movie bubble to burst after Infinity War Pt. 2 when Marvel's megastoryark will be completed. Until then Marvel will receive rivers of cash while DC will stay cucked.

What is Star Wars? Being iconic isn't the be all and end all but it certainly helps. BvS would be an even bigger disaster with a bunch of no names.
>>68049773
And Pixar is slowly falling apart
http://www.businessinsider.com/pixar-finally-has-its-first-box-office-bomb-2015-12
It has something to do. If Batman and Superman weren't iconic it wouldn't make even 300 million

Plus merchandising profits and extended bluay sales.
Plus some costs will be amortised across several films. Batmobiles and things like that. The idea that WB don't have long term plans, and contingency plans, and that they didn't know and approve of the plans for the Justice League is simply fucking retarded and a 4chan meme.
They made Man of Steel and were obviously aware of the tone.
Blaming Snyder exclusively is pretty stupid memeing.
>>68053246
I think the cost of all the merchandising they did for this movie is really hurting them now.
They apparently never once considered the film would be anything but the top movie of the year and merched the shit out of everything. There are Batman oranges and Superman candles in every Target right now.
>>68049730
They have been consistently mediocre and people have given so few fucks about continuity that they had to do the DOFP story to retcon all that incoherent mess.
>>68049716
This would have been a box office success if they'd managed to contain the film to a reasonable budget. Instead, they gambled on it being a massive blockbuster, and that failed. If they hadn't been overambitious, it would have been fine.
>>68051488
They took Cannonball, made her a girl, and gave her the most awesome name they found from the comics.
Ryan Reynolds has been open about this since before the movie came out.

>>68053341
But DOFP ended up as the best movie because of it
They wouldn't have even broken even if not for the iconic factor.
I think this movie and Man of Steel really could have benefited from some brevity. But your average moviegoer has the attention span of a goldfish and there weren't enough funny one-liners like in Marvel Capeshit so it underperformed. It essentially got memed into mediocrity, but to be fair the movie did that to itself as well.
>>68049716
There's no investment in the characters yet. Compare BvS to the second marvel movie for fair comparison

I wouldn't be surprised if at some point Disney wants to make a Marvel theme park, though they're probably going to be focused on the Star Wars one for a while longer.
>>68055496
But why do people get happy when something someone else likes turn out to be not as good and does poorly? Why do you have to be so for or against something that you'd rather see something you don't like, that someone else does, fail? It makes no sense to me, wether it's Sony vs MS or Marvel vs DC and so on and so forth.

"YOU LET THEM YOUR FAMILY DIE" letters to Bruce and photos of Batman's logo branded "victims" to Clark. These scenes lasted like 10 seconds so they're easy to miss among the muddled plot

I didn't miss those, I just thought the photos was Clark being an investigative journalist getting links.
Though I will say that didn't really motivate Supes at all
>>68049921
It's about the same, $750m, and BvS did it in half the time Deadpool did
>>68053338
The marketing for this film baffles me.
Why the fuck were they releasing promo pictures and pop vinyl figures and action figures and shit for Aquaman starting A YEAR AGO when he's not even really in the movie? Don't even get me started on WW.
It all feels like they really had no idea how they were going to use these characters in the film even while they were Finished filming it.
>>68057096
>BvS did it in half the time Deadpool did
Because BvS opened everywhere at once.
>>68049717
>What's happening to superheroes?
A combination of over saturation and jamming too many characters into one film.
>>68055396
He's right though. That was the last anyone had seen of batman and going into it most of the audience seemed to think it was a prequel to the original Tim Burton film.
>>68057096
Deadpool was rated R though, while BvS was what pg-13?
i wanted to walk out of the theatre when batman stopped fighting just because their mothers shared the same name
like seriously what the fuck, throwing away all your ideals because of a coincidence.
fuck this capeshit
>>68057125
Trying to compete with Marvel, wonder if they actually just relied on Snyder not being a complete idiot or if they forced him to put in shitty sub plots and shit.
>>68049716
it's more to do with marketing and generating enough buzz around your movie
both avengers were absolute trash and they got over 1.5 billion from what I remember
the force awakens was arguably even worse than avengers and still managed to earn 2 billion
>>68049716
>Can we all agree now that being iconic has nothing to do with box office success?
Don't be a moron, it doesn't have "nothing" to do with it. It's just not going to sell a movie all on its own.
Box Office is a measure of, what? Hype? Marketing Success? Willingness to see it?
Being "iconic" (or even just recognizable) is a foot in the door.
>>68049760
look at all the capefags that were already on suicidewatch you angered lol
>>68056628
>Bats mom was named Helga
>>68049717
no way
civil war is going to be absolute garbage but all the normies, marvelcucks and capefags are ecstatic about it, which means it will do great at box office, regardless of how bad it is
1.2-1.5 billion at box office guaranteed
>>68057230
>while BvS was what pg-13?
BvS was very violent and edgy for a PG-13 flick, kids at my theater were either bother as fuck or scared and their parents have to cover thier eyes or leave the movie.
>Those photos of Superman's mom gagged with "witch"(close to bitch) like she was some milf crackwhore doing a cheap BSDM porno photoshoot.
I was legit uncomfortable watching that scene, completely out of place in a Superman movie.
>>68049716
no it's the bad reviews that killed it, the movie made all that money solely because of batfleck, every review is praising batfleck portrayal and bashing the mess of the story this film has.
damn shame really cause he's my second favorite batman, Conroy first.
>>68057399
>no it's the bad reviews that killed it
Super Hero movies are usually critic proof, nobody cares what those artsy faggots had to say about some triple AAA flick,everybody would want to see a Superman Batman and Wonder Woman movie.
Word-of-mouth killed the movie
>>68057385
>it's gonna be bad!
>the only reason it'll do well is because they are sheep!
So numbers and ratings only matter when they confirm your bias?
>>68056940
the movie was such a mess that not only do you need to fill in blanks for scenes they don't show you but you've gotta figure out wtf is going on with the shit they do show you.
Why the fuck did these letters need to come from Lex?
If they did and he'd been sending them for months his whole plan falls apart if Wayne had actually seen them, confronted the guy they were supposed to be from and discovered that they were sent from somebody else.
It's not like they all arrived at once they'd been returning with red ink over them for months and the guy IS crazy anyway so they may as well have been coming from him.
It's such a minor part of the film but it's fucking retarded in every single way you look at it.
>>68049724
>blunder of the year
>over bvs
doubt it, hoping Suicide Squad doesn't end up being bad too, I really want dccu to take off, I want to see the justice League in live action for the first time, they can cancel all the rest I don't care I just at least want 1 live action JL film.
>>68057221
No one thought that. There wasn't this dipshit concept of a cinematic universe back then. Each batman movie was more or less a stand along batman story. You didn't need to reboot the movie every time a new actor or director took the role, they didn't need to go back and explore who batman was, or re-establish his origin every movie, or any of that shit.
Yes Batman and Robin was a bomb, and it was the reason they shelved the franchise for a while, but when Batman Begins was announced not a god damned person was confused, they just went "Oh hey, another batman movie. I hope it's better than the last one."
Not to mention that batman has had so many fucking incarnations over the years that its not some kind of wild mental gymnastics to separate them all. I mean do you also think people were considering burton's batman as a sequel to the adam west series? Of course not.
Everything in batman begins is so different from the other incarnations that you'd have to be brain damaged to think it was the same world as Burton or Schumacher, or West... or who-fucking ever.
>>68057493
oh people do, and yeah word if mouth and word of mouth from reviews as well.
>>68057252
They still had 3 years to make all that shit work in this film though. And surely they were thinking about this before MoS had even came out. The idea of doing Avengersin reverse could've worked if done properly.
And they still fucked it up.
>>68057392
>BvS was very violent and edgy for a PG-13 flick, kids at my theater were either bother as fuck or scared and their parents have to cover thier eyes or leave the movie.
Right but it is still an available option for kids to go see it, while rated R movies are generally not seen as the massive earners that pg or pg-13 are because it, by design, excludes a HUGE demographic, namely kids, who are the primary target audience FOR capeshit.
You see what I'm saying. A rated R movie out competing (or at least keeping up with) one released for general audiences is generally a surprising thing. I mean that's the reason studios don't bother with those medium-big budget rated R movies anymore, they just don't bring the kind of return they can see with slightly sanitized pg-13 movies.
>>68057508
No, only 4chan autists ever argue that numbers matter, and most people only do it for bants. It's part of board culture, I guess.
Sicario didn't make shit but it sure as hell was a better movie than the force awakens which made 2 billion.
I frequent a lot of normie forums, and believe me, there was no hype for BvS whatsoever. Where highly anticipated Marvel movies like Deadpool or Civil War generate thousands of posts, BvS would get a few dozen at best, with people predicting how bad it would fail.

Bullshit but your 4 paragraphs of tism makes me want to avoid reading another wall of text from you.
Box office aside, reminder that BvS was too smart for critics and the general public who thought it had the obligation to be a Marvel clone.

Because you're talking out of your ass about things that happened before you were born you fucking goofball.

>dont get it. Cant it slug its way to 1 billion? Its at 720 millions now.
At the rate of entropy BvS's ticket sales are seeing it doesn't have a chance in hell of making it to a billion. It' a stones throw away from seeing sub million daily domestic gross and it's only in its 3rd weekend.

Seriously though, this is the biggest autistic denial I've ever seen. Nothing will ever top this, the level of delusion the guy that wrote this has is incredible. Whoever wrote this and whoever agrees with this fell for the "depth and symbolism" meme. Snyder is a hack whose only competent work in filmmaking is adapting already established works(Watchmen, 300) and that's not saying much.

Disagree man, bvs biggest critical panning came from folks screaming their heroes have been turned into villains (these folks wanted 78supes and superfriends stuff).

dont forget 3d theaters as well also gimmick theaters like 4dx, dolby and shit.
none was on deadpool

Serious question, do you think the extremely negative ctritic response affected the amount of people who saw the movie?
Usually I don't care what critics say when I want to watch a movie, but normies could be different.

Fucking this. Its disgusting how much money movies make by this kind of shady double-dipping.
Don't get me wrong I love seeing a big dumb action movie on a huge screen, but I hate having to do hard research to figure out what fucking version of a movie I'm buying a ticket fore.
>>68058861
There are people who are going to see a movie regardless, but everyone else pretty much relies on word of mouth or reviews.
Johnny Capeshit pre-ordered five tickets for consecutive shows, and went with all his friends from the capeshit club, but for everyone else who's on the fence hearing that a movie is total dogshit is going to dissuade them for paying 15 bucks to watch it.

I fucking hate this but critics are already gargling Marvels balls on Civil War there is no chance that does not do near Star Wars money.
I as a DCuck must sit there in the corner and ""intellectually"" enjoy the cuckoldry of Marvel ""winning"" again.

You can't possibly make those numbers on memers alone, and the meme potential is easily compensated for by the R rating in terms of advantages vs. disadvantages.

This was not a smart movie.

They deserved it.
Fox/Blue Sky took pains to make a prehistoric movie using existing Pleistocene critters. Pixar does that Flinstones caveman/dinosaur shit with shit-tier character design, and no one wanted to see it, go figure. lmao.
