Ben Affleck is Batman!

[Jiminy_Cricket-migration]

One thing is for sure.............. DC will go into a death spiral, and never recover if this movie tanks.

 

Marvel/Disney will be set up for decades if Supes/Bats ends up being ridiculed. Might be a good time to invest in Disney if you have no faith in Affleck to pull this off.

I hope Ben is doing ok with all of the criticism...

 

 

[krighton]

he kind of has the 'look' of a bruce wayne....I don't like his lower lip though, he needs to get that fixed.

[Rodey]

BARF!!!

Affleck will be fine. Comic fan boys chill out.

It's already over-priced

Didn't you also say Man of Steel had crashed and burned, and would never make money?

Personally I think Ryan Gosling would have been a much better choice.

 

Drive was AWESOME

 

Place Beyond the Pines was damn good!

No, but I did post a link to a news story how MoS box office numbers plummeted after opening weekend.

 

There were some other info how studios are lucky to get 10 cents on the dollar of the overseas box office. And how a movie has to gross 2-3 times it's budget (domestically) to be profitable. Sooooo, MoS did not equal a grand slam for DC. It may even turn out to be a $$ loser for DC (depending on how the books are cooked).

 

Production Budget: $225 million

 

Total Lifetime Grosses

Domestic: $289,875,976 44.6%

+ Foreign: $359,500,000 55.4%

= Worldwide: $649,375,976

It was not a loser for DC. Otherwise, why would they invest in a follow-up, and include the other character that has succeeded in theaters?

 

If you still have the link to that story, can you send it over? I'd like to read through those details.

if they conveniently forget the $170mm in product placement $ they got; seems unlikely

Harry Potter movie made a billion dollars, yet the studio claimed it lost money. This is what I mean about how the studios manipulate their books. You can never know what the truth really is. This was discussed in a thread I started that contained several links. If I could get any satisfaction out of the search function here, I'd bump it up. Maybe you could find it? It had Man of Steel in the title.

I'll track it down. Hold tight.

 

But to attempt to compare a reboot to the success of Iron Man 3 or Avengers would be a tough comparison. As a relaunch, it actually was successful even without the additional $170 MM marketing revenue.

 

I do get though what you are talking about when it comes to studio accounting. Very tricky at times.

There was no mention of that, but it was just a news report after the second weekend of box office numbers. I think that $170mm you mention probably saved the "franchise". Let's face it.... It was the best Superman movie, but it was nothing to write home about. I enjoyed it, but don't have the desire to watch it 20 times like I do The Avengers, Batman Begins, Spider-Man 1 and 2, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, X-Men movies, etc.

Fans Petition Warner Bros. to Remove Ben Affleck as Batman

 

That's just the petty contemporary public looking for it's 15 minutes of fame.

 

Pathetic.
