probably 100 minutes too long

while two of the three MCU could be termed disappointing and the third one an outright bomb, the DCEU

No explosion in movie could be as big a bomb as this

i don't know where this belongs but does shed some light on why the DCEU was a distant second to the MCU in every metric that mattered: fan reaction, critical reaction, box office https://variety.com/2023/film/news/david-fincher-blade-meeting-man-of-steel-2-david-s-goyer-1235731062/ In a career-spanning interview on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, “Man of Steel” writer David S. Goyer agreed with host Joshua Horowitz that Warner Bros. should’ve developed a standalone Superman sequel with Henry Cavill instead of attempting to mount a cinematic universe with “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” The studio did so in order to compete with Marvel. “I know the pressure we were getting from Warner Bros., which was, ‘We need our MCU! We need our MCU!’ And I was like let’s not run before we walk,” Goyer said. “The other thing that was difficult at the time was there was this revolving door of executives at Warner Bros. and DC. Every 18 months someone new would come in. We were just getting whiplash. Every new person was like, ‘We’re going to go bigger!'” “I remember at one point the person running Warner Bros. at the time had this release that pitched the next 20 movies over the next 10 years. But none of them had been written yet!” Goyer continued in amazement. “It was crazy how much architecture was being built on air… This is not how you build a house.” Goyer worked closely with Christopher Nolan on the “Dark Knight” trilogy and the two conceived of a Superman movie that would become Zack Snyder’s 2013 tentpole “Man of Steel.” Goyer wrote the film. But Cavill never got the chance to lead another standalone Superman movie, as the remainder of his time in the crimson cape was spent in universe-building tentpoles such as “Batman v Superman” and “Justice League.”

looks like another CGI abomination

Blue Beetle may get to $130M WW or 1.1x production budget

Warner Bros. Discovery Sees Earnings Hit From Strikes Of Up To $500 Million This Year https://deadline.com/2023/09/warner-bros-discovery-earnings-hit-hollywood-writers-actors-strikes-1235536463/

in the battle of the busts, BB wins in the US but Shazam:FOG will finish a nose ahead WW Blue Beetle Shazam! Fury of the Gods

Hopefully long enough that Disney blows up the MCU 24-25 slate

I don't know, I thought I had made her up but apparently not

I applaud the ability for all involved to reach the third film in a series which I had no idea existed

why?

down 20%+ vs Fallout despite 20% higher average ticket prices, a little better int'l (ex China) down 15% but China $50M vs $170M
