  1. Interesting. We'll see how this one stacks up in a few hours. Thank you ! -J.
  2. The 17k ebay copy re-listed. We'll see where it ends up this time. https://www.ebay.com/itm/285058528449?hash=item425ecff4c1:g:1hQAAOSw5wVjiBO2&amdata=enc:AQAHAAAAoJVXWzLyGAvUku8U8yn9wDK4VQxAxzrVLaw8hwv8EIhOgxxe40Yknx1+TfP8AZtnKvTp9ocZ3FLKIONQ1zv/WutEYdepwEYAw+YUGGOo+GxtqXaFx8xaQvn/KhSkK4ho/5ii2OHjtARArdWksxSkwFAS+XUcAqG6Av/2IgBCeaAINZe3+IzcINN+5wPPW3gUP8rDxc+KvUx7+Io2fXN/EXQ=|tkp:Bk9SR873sd2fYQ&redirect=mobile -J.
  3. Bit of a straw man. Ezra hasn't appeared in a solo movie (yet) and has had a multitude of personal problems and bad press. As for Brandon, actually yes he is quite popular as Superman, but he didn't have the benefit of a "good" movie or being ret-conned into a cinematic universe. He also only had one shot at the role (not counting legends of tomorrow). -J.
  4. People give waaaay too much deference to these paid actors playing make believe roles. It's this kind of thinking that gave us a pointless "Black Panther" movie without the Black Panther. Literally anyone they cast would have been "popular" as wonder woman. Wonder Woman is a famous comic book character. And the next person they eventually cast will also be popular. Almost all of the goodwill earned by the first movie (some of it deserved, some of it not) was squandered by the horrific second one. The new WB brass would have to be lunatic to green light a third one with the same people involved, at those stepped up pay days with an actress who can't act and a writer who can't write. As for Red Notice‐ yeah I don't put much stock in that. Let's see how Gal does carrying a traditional theatrical non-DCEU release. I suspect she will fare about as well as Margot has. But at least Margot can act. -J.
  5. She's too scrawny and she couldn't act her way out of a paper bag. Other than being a tall brunette she was (mis)cast in the role with absolutely no qualifications. -J.
  6. Gal gadot was always a terrible, miscast actress, and on no planet is she worth 20 million dollars. If these are the kinds of ludicrous contracts WB was handing out to no-name "talent", it's no wonder they bled red ink all over the place. -J.
  7. I read something that Dwayne rubbed the new brass the wrong way and he's out. And that momoa may be retained but not as "aquaman"‐ but as Lobo or some other character, if he's interested. I actually like this news. Absolutely nothing they were doing was working. This needs to happen. -J.
  8. Bingo. Hyper exaggerated speculative nonsense that has absolutely no realistic chance of ever actually happening based particularly on the "home video" revenues for prior recent DC films as reported by the Numbers, et al. This is the same "creative accounting" the same author used to also spin the under performing Shazam into a massive blockbuster. That was also , notably , the last year that deadline published their "derby". Or, in other words, nothing but wishful thinking today so that Dwayne doesn't look like the one man DC flop machine that he is. -J.
  9. I'm talking about domestic and international. Meaningless garbage numbers that they completely made up trying to make this turkey fly. They are getting absolutely torched on Twitter for it. Rightly so. -J.
  10. So... you're buying the completely made up "home video rental" number of 200MM and another 100MM in "streaming"? Because this won't make anything near that, even in 50 years. Lol -J.
  11. I haven't used deadline as a legitimate source for this kind of info for awhile as I have seen their numbers discredited more than once. I don't think they are partisan toward a particular studio or franchise, just particular movies. Unfortunately that article just looks like deadline spouting back WB talking points (ie, propaganda) to save face om a film everyone knows failed. But When even forbes and variety aren't buying the BS, you know you're in trouble. -J.
  12. Deadline loves running cover for movies they like. They are clearly pulling numbers out of thin air. Nearly 200 million dollars "profit" from rentals ? Sure okay. Pass me the crack pipe. This movie is doing so great they fired the people who green lit and produced it. There's a reason deadline stopped producing those "box office derby" articles. -J.
  13. Birds of Prey, the suicide squad, wonder woman 1984, super pets, black adam. Dwayne and Margot were the "stars" of two of those each. The DCEU is on a flop streak to end all flop streaks. When your "BEST" performer is yet another Batman movie, it's time to pause and reflect. It may even be time to blow the whole thing up and start over again in a decade or so. -J.
  14. Forbes just did an autopsy on the failure of Black Adam and basically put the "break even" multiple at 3x production, at least. I imagine for Disney and their huge marketing machine, it's closer to 3.5x. A completely unsustainable business model, and I suspect why the stock is in the toilet and the CEO was fired. -J.
  15. Good chance at (slightly) beating Batman now. Probably worse than even odds it hits 800M at this point. Although I wouldn't put it past Disney to insist it stays in (discount) theaters for however long it takes to get it to just barely crawl past that 800m for an "only" 550M face plant with ZERO competition. -J.
  16. Dude I'm starting to wonder if this will fall-ow in love and thunder's footsteps and not even beat The Batman. We should know once the international markets are released tomorrow. If it's at 725+ it should beat the Batman. But 800 million isn't certain at this point. If this movie ends with a "7" in front of it , that's a failure. -J.
  17. Understood , except the mid week drops for this , EXCLUDING THANKSGIVING "week" have been bad from the beginning. In fact, the only thing keeping this from being worse than Love and Thunder's numbers at this point are its opening weekend figures. And that's with essentially no competition for its entire run. Is this even going to make it to 800M? -J.
  18. Other comiclink result - #3 book On the list- Wolverine 1 Campbell- $11k -J.
  19. Final results from comiclink auction: ASM 667 Dell'otto - $42k UF 4- $33k The gap widens significantly. -J.
  20. The mid week drops are horrific and telling me this movie is nearing the end of its run, avatar or no avatar. -J.
  21. Oh but wait I thought that rarity didn't matter ? Because I can get a first appearance of morales for $1500. -J.
  22. Really? Deadpool , harley Quinn, spider -gwen , X -23, kamala , carnage, etc, are all going nowhere also-rans? Got it. Or.... big red flag. -J.
