>The latest numbers are in for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the film now has a worldwide haul of $862.9 million. According to The Hollywood Reporter, that means it's likely to conclude its run somewhere around the $875 million mark, a disappointing result for a release many initially predicted would top the $1.4 billion haul made by The Avengers in 2012. It became clear by that second or third week that $1 billion was out of the question of course, but failing to reach $900 million isn't great, especially when Batman v Superman cost such a huge amount to make.
>Barley making more than Guardians of The Who
Spiderman 3 officially confirmed to be better than BvS
>two most iconic DC characters
>cant even beat Iron Man
The movie industry is getting ridiculous if 900 million dollars is barely enough.
why is it a failure if it makes 900,000,000 dollars?
>>69031691
What is budget?
>>69031607
A SECOND FRESH REVIEW
>>69031293
>Barley
>Illiterate marvelets still desperate to equate box office with quality
I had no idea Iron Man 3 made this much while having no appearence by other Avrngers.
>movie is universally hated by critics
>still makes close to a billion
told off
>>69031771
It's not a failure. Just a massive disappointment.
>>69031691
BvS has one of the biggest movie budgets ever. Not making something comparable to avengers has to be very disappointing to WB.
>>69031862
This is how I know you dont know what a rate of return is.
>>69031812
>most popular MCU character
>best lines and best story in the Avengers
>>69031293
>the 2 most famous superheroes in one movie
>can't even beat Spiderman 3, a shitty 10 years old movie whose box-office isn't even adjusted for inflation
How could Snyder fuck up so badly?
>>69031812
it was the first film after The Avengers in the MCU, that definitely helped
>>69031691
Absurd marketing costs force these movies to make absurd amounts of money
>>69031771
Because it took a whopping 420 million dollars to make and marketing the movie.
While they will only get not even half of that $900.000.000 because most of it will be taken by theatres.
>>69031293
>three biggest names in DCU
>can barely beat an R-rated, non-Disney underground character movie that wasn't even released in chinkland.
I'd feel bad, but they keep hiring Snyder so they deserve it.
This is so embarrassing.
>>69031771
It's not even going to make that. Estimated earnings of BvS were expected to be upwards of 1.2 billion gross. Making 875m gross hurts the WB stock because they undershot Avengers by nearly 500m. The DCEU is now in doubt and any future projections on a major source of income are shaky at best.
Civil war will make less because of heavy competition.
Is this the end of cape shit?
>>69031293
I hope WB's emails get leaked and we get so see just how retarded the executive meddling was. Snyder can't out the producers if he ever wants to work in Hollywood again but he needs some sweet vindication.
>>69032098
The only real competition is Jungle book.
>>69032098
Damn... that's not a good sign...
>>69031870
250 million is standard
>>69032000
>420 million dollars to make
more than star wars?
the budget was 250 millions, that 400 millions meme has to stop
>>69032098
Not really comparable because of Disney's bizarre release schedules. Cap didn't open in China for some reason. You could have tacked on another 40-60M if it did.
>>69032254
Production budgets don't include the advertising budget.
>>69032254
>the budget was 250 millions, that 400 millions meme has to stop
400 is probably including promotional budget.
>>69031980
It's not even marketing anymore, it's the fact (that has always been a fact) that tentpole movies fund other movies. A studio knowingly makes some movies at a loss to maintain cred and build relationships with directors and producers, they make up for it with blockbusters. They cannot simply go back on a contract they've already made, so if a blockbuster fails to reach the high expectations set for it, the studio has to eat the loss on the expected-loss movie.
>>69032346
WB has advertisement companies inside their own company, ads for them are cheap, specially since they have a tv channel in which they can play adds all the time for peanuts.
Not to mention that online advertisement is cheap as hell in general.
320 millions, tops
>>69032449
no, see >>69032497
>>69031771
Because they expected more, look at TASM2, it made almost 800 million, and they still went ahead and rebooted it.
>>69032098
films need to beat Avatar or AT LEAST be on the top 10 gross or else it's considered a flop, experts say
>>69032497
The truth is no one knows what the hell this shit costs. The general rule of thumb is twice production, but that's just an in the air number. With the internet, shit doesn't cost as much and as you said, the studios own most of the avenues for promotion.
Each theater chain has different deals. Each country has different deals. Making prints costs money. Back-end deals with producers and actors costs money.
>>69032098
Looking at Age of Ultron's international numbers has me thinking all of Marvel strikes much, much bigger domestically. But Civil War is already on track to beat thier largest international grosser to date in the first week.
Harry Potter international numbers have to be from Europe because I can't see asia enjoying that shit in the least.
>>69032098
>Captain America movie about to make as much as AoU
That's actually quite good, even more considering it hasn't opened in USA and China yet.
>>69032098
You probably know this but that's only for 10-15 countries or so, missing out China and Russia notably. Opening weekend (if we just took all the individual opening weekends and added them together, excluding US) is going to be well in excess of $300 million
>>69031798
Critics don't like it, audiences don't like it, and even a lot of fans don't like it.
That's a failure. Especially in light of the total price.
>>69032098
JUST
>>69032153
nigga his wife is a WB Exec, and producer of all his movies. There was not meddling, only Snyder's ineptitude that cause the mess that BvS was.
>>69031862
>>69032000
>>69032081
>>69032545
why do they make movies that cost 400 million dollars if they need to break records to earn money back?
>>69032098
it'll do very well. by the time it opens in the states next week it'll already be upwards to half a billion and people seem to love it, so expect it to reach at least iron man 3 levels of gross
>>69033013
Precisely because everyone thought this movie would make at least 1.3-1.5 billion.
WB doesn't know how to manage budgets, David Ayer said that Suicide Squad has a budget of more than 250 million for the film itself, that's more than fucking BvS.
They are still in the Harry Potter and Nolan Batman high and they are throwing all that money away in movies like this, and flops like Jupiter Ascending.
>>69031293
What makes this even more enjoyable is that Civil War is already projected to earn 900 million in foreign box office with the potential to get to 1 billion and it's going to make 450 million dollars in domestic gross just for being an Avengers movie.
>>69031293
This is future you chose, WB
>aggressive fanboys rallying around movie they dont like not reaching some arbitrary standard
>meanwhile WB is counting out modest profit and moving forward with numerous sequels
fanboys are retarded
LOL it like didnt even make a billion dollars! ONLY 850 million!!??? Lol they sux XD
>>69032098
>Sequel to an already critically acclaimed movie that established Captain America and gave the character as much popularity as Ironman.
>Introduces Spider-Man to the MCU, whose movies alone gross more than 700mil.
>Has Ironman, whose movies have grossed over 600mil up to more than 1 billion.
>Black Panther, Ant-Man, Vision. All fan favorites in the MCU.
>Critics are already praising it, and the reviews for it are great.
Honestly, I expect it to gross as much as AoU if not more than The Avengers.
i don't understand, why are they even making another justice league movie if B v S bombed so badly?
>>69033208
I doubt the movie being less profitable than MoS is something they are proud of.
>>69033208
I'm not a fanboy. I just find the business end of movies interesting.
>>69032098
>implying other countries would want to see a movie called captain america
>>69033300
lol this
it's just logic
>>69033208
It's not really a modest profit. But really more about investors. WB assured them that they were gonna beat Avengers at 1.4b. So with a 900mil box office, they only made 64% of promised (a magic number for Snyder it seems).
No one would invest in something undeperforming that badly.
>>69033208
The problem is that the movie costed much more than MoS and it ended up being less profitable.
It's a Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman movie and it made only 160 million more than a Superman solo one.
If this can't break 1 billion, I doubt Justice League will, even more because this underperforming is because of TERRIBLE word of mouth which means people just don't like the DCEU.
>>69033208
http://deadline.com/2016/03/universal-pictures-disney-most-profitable-movies-2015-star-wars-minions-jurassic-world-data-1201727739/
Just read this article to understand. Deadline has another more relevant image that actually breaks down how movie cost work but I don't have it anywhere.
AoU grossed 1.155 billion dollars in revenue but only made 383 million dollars in profit.
Studios don't get back 100% of the gross from box office, there are distribution cost,. Hell AoU probably wasn't even that profitable in theaters, 100 mil of that profit most likely comes from home video.
So yeah, Batman V Superman which made 550 million dollars less than AoU on the same budget is a huge disappointment and just barely profitable. Also the dislike of the movie just sours the waters for its home entertainment release since WB will get less money from that.
>>69033415
>>69033425
You guys are also forgetting their stand-alone movies. Wonder Woman will most likely bomb. Who wants to see a fucking Aquaman movie?, or a Cyborg movie. Fucks sake, even the Flash would suffer.
Their best bet right now is creating a Batman DCEU. Use his massive rogue gallery and pals, and build a franchise around it. That's the only thing they seem to be able to do right, since Batman was the only good part of BvS and Suicide Squad is looking decent. They should just stick to that, and drop everything else.
>>69033291
Because "Damage Control"
It's too late to turn their back right now, they have made MoS and BvS as kickstarter of DCEU along with upcoming Suicide Squad and they have announced that there will be 2 parter Justice League movie following.
If they pull back now it will be bad for publicities, so their only option is to keep moving forward and hoping that things will turn out good for them.
>dc fags scared they won't get anymore movies because they keep flopping
>>69032798
Oh but a gaggle of contrarian tryhards on /tv/ call it KINO so it was a total success.
The reason is that no one wanted a reboot of Batman. There were three well-respected films that JUST came out so what are they rebooting him for?
>>69033554
There's already rumors that both the Cyborg movie and the Justice League Dark movies are cancelled.
Plus, Flash has just lost it's director, and James Wan is rumored that he's going to bail out of Aquaman too.
>>69033634
Because Nolan didn't allow WB to use him for it, and honestly, Nolan's Batman doesn't fit in a world where Superman and Aquaman exist.
>>69031691
Stay in school.
>>69033696
Nolan doesn't own the Dark Knight trilogy.
>>69033554
honestly I think there will be a huge backlash against all dc movies after this....
I have loads of friends who have sweared off all dc movies forever just because of how bad B v S was...
I think tons of people will refuse to see suicide squad just because of how bad that movie was....
dc real life movies are probably done they will stick to animated
>>69032254
Promo is high as fuck. We're talking worldwide adverts.
>>69033696
i don't think anyone cares about a batman universe where supermeme and aquameme exist
>>69033720
His contract with WB states that his Batman trilogy is outside whatever continuous universe they come up with outside Batman.
>>69033550
>Hell AoU probably wasn't even that profitable in theaters, 100 mil of that profit most likely comes from home video.
That's probably one of the reasons they got rid of Whedon and put the Russos for Infinity War. He just didn't deliver after AoU ended up getting so much flak from SJWs and mixed reviews plus how it did at the box office. WB just doesn't have good management in that aspect, they don't know when to stick to things that work and to adjust.

>>69032098
Civil war has another 21 countries to open in.
>>69031855
The problem is that it made that much because of hype and that it was opened in the entire world at the same time, so nobody heard impressions from others.
500 million of those 800 were on release, and WB is not going to get that again.
It all depends on Suicide Squad now. If it's another critical bomb then I doubt the DCEU has any chance left.
>>69033291
They were already financed and scheduled to begin production on JL1 like a month after BvS came out. They fucked themselves over by putting the start of production too close to the release date. They couldn't sack the hack without hurting BvS box office. They couldn't delay production without fucking up the release schedule. As a result though everything that wasn't financed and already balls deep in pre-production or production is getting fucked. Aquaman is in dire straits. Shazam got delayed. Cyborg is likely to be delayed/cancelled. They had to dump more money into Suicide Squad to water it down for greater general audience appeal because their tentpole movie failed to act as a tentpole movie.
If SS isn't wildly successful they're fucked. If WW isn't wildly successful they're fucked. If JL1 isn't wildly successful they're fucked. Other than The Batman they're no longer confident in proactively investing in more movies without being confident that they'll even pay for themselves. BATMAN, SUPERMAN and WONDER WOMAN in one movie wasn't a sure thing, so now they're panicking about the rest of it.
How did Avengers make so much money? It wasn't even good.
>>69033913
>tfw we will see DC movies die in less than 5 years
>>69033812
Spiderman 2 was one of the best well received superhero movies at the time creating massive hype for 3 and Iron Man 3 was riding on MCU and RDJ hype
BvS meanwhile was the sequel to an lukewarm Superman movie.

It depends on Justice League because it's the heroes who are going to drive the universe forward.

Let's just say that most of future WB movies will have cheap CGI's like how downgraded the orcs in LOTR compared to The Hobbits.
Oh, and btw that Harry Potter spin-off "fantastic beast whatever" have already suffered from this; ever wondered why there's no any beasts in the trailer ? It is because (right until this seconds maybe) they haven't finished any CGI for the creatures.
>>69033799

The thing is Justice League has all these super powerful characters with powers that beg for a big budget. Deadpool is hack slash hand to hand fighting, when you have Superman and Wonder Woman and all those other shits you need a huge budget for it to not look like ass.
They can't do a Justice League movie with a 100 million budget. Unless you want it to look Sy-Fy tier I guess.
>>69034085
>ice age 3 made more than bvs
>>69034223
That's the problem with Snyder. Civil War for instance probably has worse CGI than BvS, but it's used in a way that is not jarring. Snyder makes visual pollution. They spend a lot of money because he can't contain his "vision". And that applies to other stuff as well. It's overblown. It barely looks like a movie, more like a motion poster.
We can all agree BvS has the best intro
>>69034426

WB are way over there heads with trying to catch up and cash in on MCU's success. MCU did it perfectly with taking it's time. DCEU is already on it's 2nd movie and it's on the scale of Avengers.
I like Marvel more, BUT if they didn't cram in JL, WW, Doomsday/Death of Superman, and just concentrated on Batman vs Superman in ideals, I think Batman v Superman would've been great. Granted also if there was no shitty writing and editing.
Honestly, WW/JL Stuff could've been an end credit scene or really small mentions in the movies. It would've worked fine.

Not enough dank memes for you?
>>69034426
> when you have Superman and Wonder Woman and all those other shits you need a huge budget for it to not look like ass.
But the problem is BvS didn't really blow it's wad on the Superman and WW sequences. The movies budget was ballooned by the director shooting too much stuff because he didn't know exactly what he wanted and the script didn't have enough purpose.
Like, the Batmobile convoy attack sequence was probably as or more expensive than most of the Doomsday fight. And it was generally seen as TOO MUCH for what it's worth. The sequence has literally zero consequence in the story. It can be completely deleted and the narrative would lose NOTHING.
They built and dressed out an entire quarter floor of a building to make a Daily Planet set. They had a Planet conference room, a Planet work area, a Planet office, a Planet hallway etc. And for WHAT? Almost all of the Daily Planet scenes were completely redundant and meme-worthy stupid. They built giant expensive sets for Luthor to monologue about space gods in.
>Unless you want it to look Sy-Fy tier I guess.
It didn't exactly look amazing either though. The best visuals in the film where the Batman DKR "homages," and that shit can and has been accomplished for pennies on the dollar of what DC spent by shit like Sin City and 300. Doomsday looked worse than the cave troll in LOTR, and he was even shot in RAIN and at NIGHT. There's no easier way to get realistic renderings of CGI creatures, and it still looked poopy. Then they did all the fucking videogame shit with the camera impossibly whipping forward behind WW that looked completely stupid, particularly when cast against the 2 hours of "gritty realism" that preceded it.
tl;dr: could have looked better for half as much. It had too much money and not enough limitations and it went too far and did too much. It's a cluttered mess largely because it wasn't made economically.
>>69031691
The budget was 899 million and the ads cost another 800 million and the studios only make 1/9 of the box office after the first four hours of its release

Deadpool wasn't as massive a surprise as industry "experts" pretend. He is king of the manchild audience, he used to be Marvel's biggest character and has a hugely loyal fanbase from when he was also the best-written Marvel comic around. He's only a mystery to total normies.

>and just concentrated on Batman vs Superman in ideals
Needed this scene. Needed them to figure out who each other were, and have a public meeting as their alter egos in the late-second act where they just talk about shit for awhile. He fucking called it Batman v Superman because he wanted it to seem like a fucking court drama about big ideas, and then spent the whole goddmn movie having the characters literally never talk about anything directly, never talk to each other, and all the """big ideas""" are belligerently yelled at the audience by the movie. Even when they had a big whoopdidoo about SUPERMAN LITERALLY GOING TO COURT, the fucking movie literally explodes before they actually have any court shit happen. It's such a mindless cocktease. He wrote SUPERMAN APPEARS BEFORE CONGRESS just so he could throw it into the trailer apparently, and they fucking blew it up in the movie before he actually had to write anything coherent or meaningful.
>>69034557
he is muslim
>>69035923
HE FUCKING KILLED SUPERMAN BECAUSE HE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE HARD TO WRITE BATMAN AS THE LEADER OF THE JUSTICE LEAGUE IF SUPERMAN WAS ALIVE. THE IDEA OF HAVING TO WRITE CHARACTER DRAMA FOR HIS THIRD MOVIE WAS SO SPOOKY TO FUCKING HACK ATTACK THAT HE KILLED OFF THE PROTAGONIST IN THE SECOND. HE KILLED OFF THE PROTAGONIST IN THE SECOND GODDAMN MOVIE BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO WRITE A FUCKING COMPLICATED STORY FOR THE THIRD.
HE MAKES UP FOR THE COMPLETE LACK OF CHARACTER DRAMA OR NARRATIVE STAKES BY SHOVING IN STUPID FUCKING RENAISSANCE IMAGERY AND LETTING ACTORS MONOLOGUE ABOUT FUCKING GODS AND DEMONS AND SHIT. HE MADE THINGS INTENTIONALLY VAGUE BECAUSE HE WAS TOO LAZY TO MAKE THEM CLEAR.

>only a mystery to total normies.
For you, you're full of shit with your Marvel's biggest character nonsense.
Aside from that, normies are where the bucks come from.
>>69036818
People seem to forget - a lot of people who don't really care about comics but saw Iron Man will have gone to the avengers because of Iron Man. He's their biggest draw.
I'm speaking from experience - befire the movies, didn't even know who was in the avengers.

Something big released overseas before the US? Why?
>>69037171
Marvel movies always fucking come out in foreign markets before the USA
That's why DC's retarded "BIGGEST SUPERHERO MOVIE OPENING WEEKEND EVER" record was fucking retarded
>>69037171
Marvel always does it like this.
The positive reception generates more hype in USA.
They do this because domestic box office is much more profitable than foreign one due to taxes and such.
>>69033620
How can they even compete?
>>69031432
As the first post-Avengers Marvel movie, Iron Man 3 rode Avengers hype all the way to the bank.
>>69037171
Maybe just to hype or they are tweaking it a bit more. Because I'm guessing it hasn't released in China yet aswell. So they are probably leaving the big markets for last; American/Domestic and China.
>>69033388
>implying other countries don't salivate at the idea of the US having a civil war
>>69037193
Yeah, poor girl got harassed by Evans during the whole thing.

He might be a faker but at least he got moves

It's literally an avengers movie, more characters even.

It's the better solo marvel movie. Numbers don't lie. Deal with it
Return of the Jedi was also a "bomb" despite making a shitton of money at the box office. All these numbers are vastly inflated by the studios who always come out on top in the end thanks to Hollywood accounting.
What happened to this guy?
>>69039617
>inb4 paid shill
It's a fan reaction to test screenings before release, which kinda makes me wonder how the movie would have done if critics reviews were never published.
>>69039617
He's been shilling X-Men Apocalypse and Suicide Squad in /co/ desperately and doing damage control over BvS in here.
Poor guy lost it.
You can see him because he always sides with DC and against Marvel, and all his pics are named 1.jpg.
If fucking Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, the most A-list heroes of all time can't make it to 1 billion. DC probably has zero confidence in stuff like Cyborg or Aquaman.
There's rumors that they're shoehorning Batman into Wonder Woman's movie so people will actually see it.
>>69032497
It still costs them money even if they own it, for it is taking up advertising slots that otherwise would generate money.
>>69040209
If we're talking screen exposure Superman hasn't been A-list since the Donner films. And Wonder Wonder is a literally who as far as casual moviegoers are concerned (at least in my country).
>>69040443
Yeah, I mean, who doesn't know who Superman or Wonder Woman is?
But they don't seem movie draws.
>>69031293
>spiderman 2
>posts garfield shit ASM instead
you fucked up
>>69039617
the same thing that happens to everyone who makes up anecdotes on an anonymous message board?
absolutely nothing.
>>69040096
Tbh.....
Kinda hyped for Xmen Apocalypse. It will be to Xmen CU what Thanos is to MCU.
Also, hopefully, Fox and Marvell ally to end DC capeshit
>>69040476
As a kid I didn't know who Wonder Woman was. But then again, I'm not American so...
>>69039994
I'm still amazed that fan screenings were positive, because every Superman/Batman fan I've spoken to fucking hated this thing.
>>69034889
>but the twist is his dad actually tries to fight the gunman needlessly risking his life and his family's
what do you mean twist, thats how it always happens in the comics?
>>69037265
Someone needs to fix that picture so she's not sucking on his belly button.
>>69040722
But would they still have felt the same way if the reviews were overwhelmingly positive? Seems like most people just follow what the popular trend is.
Why do movies make so little money?
>>69040722
>fan
>thinking critically
>about an exclusive pre-screening they likely paid out the ass to attend
>>69040722
exact opposite for me, every fan i know loved it bar three, and two of them are fucking idiots.
>>69031293
Proof that Snyder is a true artist that doesn't always appeal to the biggest heard of sheepish plebs
>>69031293
What was Spiderman 1 box office adjusted for inflation?
>>69041321
It's hard to adjust, the newer movies were in 3D so they charged double for tickets.
>>69040722
Yeah, it's funny to see that people might complain about the reviews being paid, but what about those pre-screening people who just praised it all over.
>>69031771
>why is it a failure if it makes 900,000,000 dollars?
Say you got hired to be the manager of a Sandwich shop.
You tell the business owner of a sandwich you're going to make that EVERYONE will love. It's got pulled pork and Pepperoni and some extra Thai shit that everyone likes. This sandwich is going to make the shop THOUSANDS of dollars.
The owner is really excited, the customers are looking forward to it. You might get a raise, the owner can finally buy a new soda machine, et cetera.
Day comes and it's a fucking disappointment. Some of the most loyal customers even lambast it. The Mexicans in the pizza joint are laughing their asses off.
Now instead of thousands it's hundreds of millions of dollars.
>>69041231
And who attended the pre-screening?
>>69041967
Yeah that's not how business or a product's financial success works. It's especially not how a movie's success or failure works.
>>69042914
Yes it is. For example, Apple makes billions but "falls short of expectations" because people wanted trillions and everyone jumps ship and starts selling their stock.
>>69035039
omg
>>69032153
the fedora crowd can't say its brilliant and misunderstood AND say WB meddled. Can't have both this time, DCucks.
>>69032194
You nuts? It's Captain AMERICA and it hit 200 nationally already. That's amazing.
>>69032470
Marvel is like magic because they're always deep in the black. Sony and WB can't say that, even if their tentpoles (like Garfield Spiderman and BvS) have a BIG number.
>>69032610
BvS failed. We know who you are and what you're trying to say.
>>69044131
That's because the other two are traditional movie studios, whereas Disney's the king of merchandising.
>>69034889
That sequence was pure cinema, pleb.
>>69032654
You are 100% right. But in the post-internet world, EVERYONE is a political expert and EVERYONE is a box office guru. Failure at the box office means something, as everyone's watching.
>>69033271
And that Kevin Feige signature word of mouth, brah.
>>69033655
I don't see folks going to the theater to see something that's on tv every week.

Zootopia managed to make more money than Cap 3 in Japan and Korea
>>69044853
Don't worry. Hideo Kojima will see Cap 3 100 times.
>>69045209
Actually he went to watch both
>>69045509
I guess he regrets never having fox and rabbit themed mercenaries bang during his MGS games.
>>69045569
He's actually talking shit about how manufactured Zootopia is. A carefully forrmulated box office hit produced on a assembly line.
My God, the sheer number of marvel and dc paid shills in these capecancer threads is staggering. Most of this thread is shills fighting shills. S.m.h. May God smite you bastards.
>>69045509
Kojima has shit taste in movies
>>69032098
I don't like Marvel movies, but this isn't comparable.
BvS has a WorldWide opening
CW Hasn't even opened up in the USA or China.
>>69044047
This isn't really surprising. It's pretty much an Avengers movie in all but name.
>>69045509
Truly a man of kino
>>69047793
>overseas total
Scratch that, IT hasn't even opened up in China yet.

Amazon made 107 billion dollars last year, but went home with around 600 million in net profits. That after overhead, product purchasing, their video shit, servers, RND and everything else that they do.

I mean there was an entire year between the two, by that logic Doctor Strange should make fucking bank.
