Paul Walker was always just "that dude from the racing movies". His death was so tragic because it happened around the holidays and he had a little girl. And Universal capitalized on that tragedy and made billions.

The problem is Avatar had staying power, It didn't open at number 1 but it stayed with in the top 5 for weeks. It had the lowest box office drop between weeks.

Star Wars as was said is popular everyone who wants to go see it will see it withing the first week, the drop off numbers will be big. It'll do well easily the highest grossing film this year, and set a bunch of records, but it won't top the other 2. The numbers don't add up.

>>77753474
MoS and DK bombed with kids and children just don't like the live action movies. Hell the mommies didn't like the movies either and they're the ones who'll buy the crap toys for the little kids.
Worse, the fathers didn't want their kids thinking any of the shit in either movies were okay either.
They are not feel good family movies and they have underlying messages and treatments of them that parents do not like.
And the movies do not create the kind of hype that makes people want to wear their shwag.

Adjusted worldwide gross for Star Wars is $2, 475, 862, 333.33. Avatar's adjusted worldwide gross is $3, 004, 107, 037.04

Though of course, that doesn't account for the fact that more people can go to watch films, and the fact that ticket prices can rise higher than inflation. If we were to look as well for number of tickets sold, Star Wars could have more of an edge.

No Batman movie has ever made Avengers numbers.

The Avengers movies are on $1.5 and $1.4 billion respectively; much of that is possibly due to the presence of Iron Man, whose last movie made $1.2 billion; but it's equally possible that his movie made that much because he was in the Avengers movie that immediately preceded it.

Adjusted to 2015, the last two and very first Batman movies made $1.1 (TDK), $1.1 (DKR) and $0.8 billion. Most of the others didn't even make half what the first made; the best gross among those is Forever, which is about 0.5 billion today.

The best Superman gross of all time was the first; the second best was Superman II, which probably just beats out Man of Steel's gross (worldwide figures aren't properly available for some movies that far back, but it's known to have done very well). Again, adjusted those are about $1.1 billion versus a couple of $670 millions.

It's important to understand that you can't just add the two best grosses of a franchise together and get your target: that's stupid. It's what FOX did with AvP, and it overlooks the fact that when you have two franchises targeting the same audience, most of them aren't going to pay to see the crossover twice unless it's shit-hot. It can't just be doing something that hasn't happened before: it has to be something done well. At this stage, there's no way to know how well they've done it.

The reason Avengers movies do better than their constituents is that they are aimed at different demos - Thor is chick-flicks, Cap is a little bit cerebral, Iron Man is more soft-authoritarian. Put them all together and you have a much larger audience (but still not just adding their grosses together, because there is still crossover in those demos).

The difference between an Avengers crossover and any Batman or Superman movie to date is the gross of a very successful mid-tier budget movie. It's a non-trivial sum and not something WB are just expecting to get back.

Well I don't think it will flop I think it will be somewhat underwhelming.

The main reason why is because it will end up having both batman and snapman uniting to fight a common foe well civil war which will come out around the same time and have the heroes doing each other in.

Also it's a sequel to man of steel and directed by zack snyder.

I can see this being the lowest rated film on rotten tomatoes to make over a billion dollars.

Batman fighting Superman in an Iron Man suit is retarded and most people will be happy to mock it. Most people on the other hand legit enjoy the avengers.

It won't flop. It WILL "underperform", but only because Hollywood Studios in general WB in particular have incredibly unrealistic standards for box office sales.
It will make its money back, (the budget isn't too ridiculous from what I've heard) if not right away than via home sales. It will get sequels or whatever.

Here though? It will simultaneously be the best movie ever made, a complete pinnacle of human civilization, an epic masterpiece the likes of which will never be seen again, and the biggest bomb to explode since Hiroshima. It will be wonderful and terrible because you're all a bunch of idiots that have to go to one extreme or another.
>>
It'll probably make a profit and then some but I doubt it will be a "good" movie. It'll probably be a 7/10 at best, most likely a 6.
>>
>>77753047
>But DoJ will need to make at least a billion worldwide or WB will call it a failure like Sony did with TaSM 2.

They won't just call it one, it will literally be one.

To get Snyder to direct MoS they agreed to give him 10% of the gross at the level it reached. It's a lot more than even RDJ is getting to appear as Iron Man afaik.

It means that if they do make a billion even on BvS, they're going to be paying $100m to Snyder straight off the bat, $500m is lost to the distribution chain, and their marketing and budget have to be paid from the rest. Given they spent $225m on MoS and this likely cost 12% more (since it is to all intents and purposes a sequel, with a larger headline cast to boot, and the increase between the Batman movies under Nolan was also around 12%, which will likely be the business case they try to follow), that's a $250m budget plus marketing, which is going to easily push it over $300m.

Say it's $325m all in, that leaves them with $75m (assuming nobody else has a deal like Snyder's). Seems like it's a 23% return on investment over 3 years, right? There's accountants crying over that, though, because it's a shitty return for tying that amount of capital up over that space of time. You could do better with an average lucky streak on the markets.

Plus there's no guarantee that it's going to make that kind of money. There never is. Green Lantern was probably projected to make half a billion or so; it didn't even cover costs. If it makes "just" $800 million, yes the distribution cost comes down (because that's only ever going to be around half the ticket price and half the total gross in consequence), but that also takes them into the red when they've paid off Snyder's $80m and their own $325. Of course, higher grosses may mean even more of the gross to Snyder/Affleck/whoever, so even those aren't necessarily a guarantee of success.

Okay, well, personally I find his movies to be a great example of style over substance. They're cool looking and memetic as hell (Dudebros still quote 300) but hardly as deep or complex as the hivemind here makes them out to be.

And I think the relevant movie was kind of a trainwreck, and while a little over halfof that is due to an incompetent writer, the cinematography was nothing to write home about either, and there's far too much effort expended in crafting a head canon version of the film that's the Citizen Kane of capeshit.

But hey, that just makes me a shill for Marvel. And plenty have said that means i'm incapable of independent thought too.

....I just want /v/ to leave.

Dark Knight Rises didn't underperform because of the shooting. It underperformed because it was crap.

The shooting happened on the Friday; if the movie was going to underperform because of that, we would expect that whole weekend to take a dive, but it didn't. In fact, the DKR adjusted opening weekend was only about 3% down on TDK's own opener. The reason the gross dropped in the US after that was because fewer people wanted to go see it than with the previous movie. There was no notable depression in ticket sales for theaters as a whole in any part of the 3 months following the shooting that would indicate people suddenly mysteriously believed they would get shot at the movies. Indeed, the multiple shootings in movie theaters this year probably haven't hurt ticket sales other than to those theaters where they occurred.

The lack of a 3D release didn't hurt it either; it had those IMAX releases to artificially bump up the price, but it just wasn't worth it.

>One superhero vs 12?

What do you gain from shitting on a movie that isn't out yet?

/co/ is a lost cause. It's overrun with company wars, and not just any company wars, but movie company wars. The people who post in these threads likely have never picked up a comic in their life, but go to such lengths to shit on the other side for simply being different from what they like, incapable of liking multiple products. It's worse than /v/ ever was.

Quality isn't an objective thing when it comes to making money in the box office.
Quality when it comes to film buffs and quality when it comes to what puts people's asses in the seats are two wholly different things and rarely do they coincide.

Snyder specializes in creating the kind of short trailers that wow people. Most notably stupid fucking suits who live in la la land and ignorant movie goers.
Problem is, it's a one trick kinda deal. Dude can't make a coherent movie out of that and the last time he was left totally to his own devices he create a loud pretty yet deeply stupid movie called sucker punch.
He's not Bay.
He doesn't have the skill to put people in the seats AND entertain them while making a coherent movie or can pick or choose the right scripts and writers.
He needs to be paired with a good DAMNED good action writer and someone who'll breathe down his neck and tell him NO THAT SHIT IS BAD.
As it stands, this movie is a 100% clusterfuck in the making and everyone knows it. They're all DESPERATELY hoping they can get enough people to like the cast and some ideas they are spitballing so they will go see it.

>What do you gain from shitting on a movie that isn't out yet?
It is only because of your glorious galaxy express trips that I'm going to respond and point out that I didn't shit on any movie and you probably need a > there.

Frankly the only reason I'm even here is because I'm waiting for story times and hitting F5 on other tabs, because some of us actually read comics. I'll pirate all these flavor of the minute movies (maybe, eventually) and (hopefully) like them all much more because I wasn't waiting in line for tickets or whining about how they'll be the best/worst thing since cave paintings.

Reminder that this film is now the most expensive film ever made.

Is it?
Why?

>>77755032
He doesn't have free reign with this movie, what the fuck are you talking about? He wrote and directed Sucker Punch with no studio interference because they wanted to keep him around.

The studio pushed out Goyer, who was the biggest problem with MoS and brought in Ben Affleck and Chris Terrio to rewrite the movie and the script has gotten nothing but praise from everyone involved. If you think the movie sounds like a clusterfuck then that's just your personal bias showing through.

What's amazing about this thread is that a movie "flipping" isn't a mark of its quality yet the people here are so ill-read and gourged on shit and obsessed with their team winning that they don't recognize that.

Will BvS flop? Who gives a shit. Blade Runner flopped and that movie is awesome. The Iron Giant didn't do well in sales either. MGM thought the Wizard of Oz was a disappointment. It's a Wonderful Life was such a financial failure that its studio didn't hold onto the rights. Which is why it gets parodied and replayed every year and is now one of the most famous films ever made.

When its in company of movies like that, fuck yeah! Let's hope it does flop!
>>
>>77755147
Yes, stupid. That's my point.
Sucker punch is Snyder left to his own devices and it shows what kind of talent he has and why he's a giant fuck up unless he has someone there to keep him in line and give HIM good direction

Secondly they are still using goyers fucking script and it's a sequel to the shit movie in question anyway.
Simply saying they got rid of goyer and his script and treatment changes fuck all.

Look at the fucking tone of the movie and what's being said and done.

IT'S THE SAME GODDAMNED SHIT!

>>77755211
It's because the fans of these movies need validation for liking this garbage and they're not articulate enough to actually critique film, so they just go to RT or Box Office Mojo to tell them what to think.
>>
>>77755211
Movie isn't going to flop just because of the Superman and Batman names.
But it quite certainly won't be an amazing film. You can absolutely thank Goyer and Snyder for that. It'll be Batman ft Superman, with Special Guest: Wonder Woman, and they will all very likely be written awful and out of character save for Batman, who'll be an "edgy badass"
>>
>>77755299
waste of dubs
>>
>>77755299
Then why are you bringing it up? He doesn't have free reign with these movies, he has the new head of WB and Affleck breathing down his neck.

>Simply saying they got rid of goyer and his script and treatment changes fuck all.

It changes everything. Goyer can't write dialogue to save his life, which was by far the biggest issue with Man of Steel. They brought in a writer fresh off an Oscar win to rewrite it.
>>
>>77755390
The biggest issue with the man of steel was the overall plot and story.
Them changing HOW it's said doesn't change the fact that what they are saying is fucking stupid.
And the new head of WB means fuck all cause he's just another suit. And if Affleck wanted this to not suck then he should have probably called in some favors from decent comic writers or at least that fat cock sucker kevin smith.
I honestly hope this movie doesn't suck and is at least entertaining. But I honestly think this will be a massive disaster.

>>77755211
Blade Runner is okay at best.
Iron Giant is at best mediocre
It's A Wonderful Life is kinda shit.
The later is only considered good because it's played a lot and is known by everyone.
Seriously, the crippled faggot gets away with fucking everyones shit up by stealing that money and his brother just MYSTERIOUSLY appears when he needs help at the end?
It's kinda stupid.
>>
>>77755390
>Then why are you bringing it up?
Not that anon but the chain of logic is really really simple.
If someone says Snyder, as a creative force, is shit, then Sucker Punch is the best thing to look at because it's 100% him. You can't say "Oh, the script was the problem, that wasn't Snyder!" or "Oh, the source material was bad! There's just no way to do it!" It's all Snyder. There's nothing to hide behind.

For Goyer that movie is Blade Trinity. For Snyder, it's Sucker Punch.

Also the dialogue was bad but the characterization was worse. And the movie relies on its structure to hide a lot of its problems with the latter. And there's no proper denouement.

Yeah, Terrio is fresh off an Oscar (a highly politicized incestuous award prone to cliques and self-aggrandizement, just look at Best Animated Picture) but like...what else has Terrio done? All anyone ever mentions is the one movie.
Personally, I'd rather a writer with a bunch of okay movies to his name than a writer with one acclaimed one that isn't even remotely in the same genre.

No it wasn't. The overall plot was your typical Superman origin. The biggest problem was that Goyer can't write a script for shit.

>The lack of a 3D release didn't hurt it either

Most countries only have one or 2 IMAX, while every city in the world has at least 1 3d screen, don't be retarded 3d is huge among kids.

This was the first movie he was hired to do after Argo. Remember, BvS has been in development for 2 and a half years now and he was also hired to write both JL movies, so he's just been busy with that. The script has also been highly praised by just about everyone, Jesse Eisenberg won't shut the fuck up about him in every interview he does.

Yes, of course, a film with a billion dollar box office is a flop! (Except for every Marvel film that didn't have Robert Downey Jr. in it, those were still blockbuster hits.)

So the guy has one credit to his name and people that are acting in the movie and both literally and obviously have a vested interest in the movie succeeding say he's great and the man for the job. We can take that to the bank, because why would an actor say something bad about a movie or film franchise they're acting in and getting paid for?


Meeting the movie with even 5% skepticism is totally though.

Fuck you /co/, I've been to /v/ and even they're not this bad.
>>
>>77752689
No.

But it will barely pass 1 billion and Civil War will easily mop the floor with it critically and box-office wise.

Every movie pales in comparison to works of art like Thor 2 The Dark World, I'm sure.

I guess you don't know anything about Jesse Eisenberg. He's a literal sperg, he has no problems shit talking a movie he's about to be in.
>>
>>77756037
You said "just about everyone". Not just Eisenberg.

>>77756131
You said 'actor.' The only actor I mentioned by name was Eisenberg.
