Sucker Punch not so much but Watchmen, Dawn of the Dead and 300 were received well. I think it will do well in Gunns hands but I think DC’s issue is Batman and Superman is becoming tired. Keep Batman and Joker as standalone films and build a world with lesser known characters.
Watchmen was not a box office success either.
At this point, I have little faith in a turnaround. WB/Discovery could end up losing $1 billion on the four latest DC films.
Watchmen wasn’t a box office smash but it is one of the highest grossing R Rated superhero films of all time. It was well received and has aged well. Also resulted in a spin off series on HBO.
The film underperformed at the box office, grossing over $185 million worldwide against a production budget between $130–138 million.
My opinion is that Blue Beetle will be the biggest disappointment of this recent disappointing group of releases. I think it will do worse than Black Adam, Shazam Fury of the Gods, and the Flash.
Possibly. They at least had a modest budget as opposed to something over 200 million so might work in its favor. If we are being honest it seems like box office is taking a hit this summer.
I am definitely in wait-and-see mode. Blue Beetle would not surprise me though if it performs above average in foreign markets, in particular Central and South American, Mexico and Spain. There is only the trailers to go by, so I could be wrong.
Yep.
I know very well how you feel about Kennedy.
The numbers back me up.I know very well how you feel about Kennedy.
Yeah initially it was some movies and I was like okay maybe the Fast series is feeling fatigue from its audience. But seeing Indiana Jones, Mission Impossible to a certain extent...even the DC Films....they would've faired better a year or two ago. I'm not really sure what's going on with Hollywood. Is this the streaming era catching up to it? and I say that as in initially when everything was closed down everything went to streaming especially a lot of Warner products. Hate to see it. Going to the theater is still a fun experience for me.
I think the advent of streaming has definitely had a big impact on theater attendance.
Well not only that but its not even wasting a few months. I just saw the Flash and i'm pretty sure that was released in June. Wait time for release is as short as its ever been and even sometimes it releases simultaneously in theaters and on streaming. Now your Summer Blockbusters still seem to be taking the wait approach but like you said there are people who don't mind waiting the 3 months.
The Flash was released to theaters on June 16. Did you see in recently via a conventional streamer like HBO, Prime Video, etc.? A conventional platform? Or neither of those viewing formats?
I saw it on Google Play....usually Amazon gets them fast but haven't seen it yet.
I saw that it’s already available for purchase through iTunes for $24.99.
