    The "China can save any flop" narrative is dead and gone. Furthermore, Dwayne has never been able to solo carry a movie, and this particular movie should have never been made. WB would have been wise to trust their initial instincts about ever making it at all. There was never going to be a lucrative or successful sub-franchise coming from the puny $365MM worldwide grossing Shazam. -J.

    ...if only Black Panther was in it. -J.

    Not going to happen. It's Friday-sunday daily drops were similar to MoM domestically, but it made less overall opening weekend, and, much like the original black Panther, is under performing internationally, but even more so this time. I'm sticking with my 800mm-900mm final total that I said a month+ ago, most likely right at around 850mm. Not a flop, but a BIG drop compared to the first one. And I continue to be flabbergasted at the sheer stupidity of killing a fictional comic book character off just because the actor who played him ONE time in a solo movie died. #notchallanoticket -J.

    "Real people" reviews on Facebook and even on here, are not reflecting this. And the metacritic user rating definitely is not. And so far, neither is the box office. We'll see.... -J.
  5. Jaydogrules
    Will it? That did nothing for Black Adam, which, is threatening to make LESS than Shazam. -J.

    Imdb is almost nothing but troll and bot accounts at this point and the RT algorithm is proven to be biased and flawed and easily manipulated. Which is why many people consider metacritic to be the most "accurate" and un-corrupted (for now at least) source. -J.

    Critics are just not allowed to actively dislike certain movies. This is one of those movies. It's something that could be seen from a million miles away. -J.

    My goodness. Both the scenes they have released for this so far have been absolutely dreadful. Getting past the purely superficial glaze from that first cirque du soleil trailer it seems like there is going to be a lot for comic book nerds to dislike and nitpick here., and a lot for casual fans to dislike in terms of some ridiculous over acting from Angela basset,, riri Williams looks like another Disney Mary Sue for people to cringe at, and the less said about ,",Namour", the better. But of course,, the critics will all absolutely love it. My prediction- $165MM opening weekend, and a steep 60‐65% second weekend drop with a final world wide of $800‐900MM, and all but forgotten by the time avatar 2 drops three weeks later (much like this will put Black Adam out of its misery next week)- only about 400-500MM below the first BP. Maybe those numbers will finally make Feige just recast the damn role? I mean you have a freaking multiverse now. -J.

    True well if we are doing "just Marvel" then it is Blade. Which is only a few months after Steel. But credit due to DC for doing it first and Robert Townsend for getting meteor man made at all. -J.
  10. Jaydogrules
    You're both wrong. Steel came out before Blade. And Metor Man came out before Steel. -J.
  11. Jaydogrules
    It sure would be great if Black Panther was actually in this movie, wouldn't it. -J.

    Thank you! Unfortunately, not for sale though. You can try posting what you're looking for and willing to pay here though and see if you get any bites. https://boards.cgccomics.com/forum/50-comics-market-want-to-buy/ -J.
  13. Jaydogrules
    Bingo. -J.

    Seems the editors at rotten tomatoes have thrown in the towel on this one, comparing the numbers, unfavorably, to Famtastic Beasts 3 and the eternals. https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/weekend-box-office-results-black-adam-suffers-big-drop-but-stays-at-the-top/ "The worldwide total for the nearly $200-million budgeted film currently stands at just $250 million, and if it can only expect around another $50-60 million from North America, this could turn into a Fantastic Beasts 3 kind of loser for Warner Bros. to go out on in 2022." -J.

    Black Adam is clearly a bad movie but Suicide Squad and Elektra are absolutely unwatchable. As are Birds of Prey and Wonder Woman 84 and Fantastic Four rise of the silver surfer (wtf Galactus??). -J.
  16. Jaydogrules
    "Eyeing a 370M-420M run." Ouch. Luiz now agreeing with numbers I gave three weeks ago. -J.
  17. Jaydogrules
    The same as the first movies once they finally accept the reality that they need to simply recast the characters people actually care about and want to see. -J.
  18. Jaydogrules
    Interesting to see how even the early fanboi reviews are already mixed. Not surprising though, when even your 60 second trailer shows a litany of questionable to bad creative decisions. -J.
  19. Jaydogrules
    Thr books are miscut along the top, the colors are wrong, the paper is wrong , they're obviously fake. -J.
  20. Jaydogrules
    Yeah those are definitely counterfeit. Can't believe people are doing this. -J.
  21. Jaydogrules
    Thanks ! Nice. That's the same one listed on ebay. Older label goodness. -J.

    Do I need all that ? No These are estimates. A typical p&A budget for a "major tentpole" is around $150MM. A bare minimum for ANY movie with a worldwide release is about $100MM. It doesn't take a film genius to figure that this turkey is on the high side of that. Ancillaries can offset but they don't change what the movie cost and they don't help to make it turn a profit. THE THING HAS TO ACTUALLY MAKE MONEY TO DO THAT. And this one didn't make very much in its opening weekend. At the end of the day , WB went all in on Dwyane and only made another $13MM more on opening weekend than they did with Shazam, on half the budget and no "stars". -J.
  23. Jaydogrules
    No. I don't care about frivolous qualifiers that attempt to paper over failure. This, and Shazam, a movie that also didn't make any money, with half the budget, are the two lowest DCEU films and only $10MM more than ant-man from 8 years ago, unadjusted and on far fewer screens. That just is not good for a movie with a ~$350MM production and marketing expense. Looks like my original $400MM-$500MM total run estimate is still very much in play. Obviously this movie has a few weeks of no competition ahead of it , and a miracle could happen, but right now the only thing I can smell the Rock cooking is disappointment. -J.
  24. Jaydogrules
    So....the second lowest opening of any DCEU movie on one of the biggest budgets ? -J.
  25. Jaydogrules
    Link ? -J.
