Bosco685 Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 Ray Fisher has really dug deep into the character of Cyborg/Victor Stone. You can tell he is fanatical over the role now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComicConnoisseur Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) I don't know why they are putting so much pressure the Justice League? I mean Wonder Woman couldn't do 1 billion ? What makes these analysts make such high predictions? Justice League' aims to break through $1 billion after a rocky year for DC movies . 'Justice League' has a lot riding on next week's debut, after a rough start for DC's universe of box office super heroes. Analysts expect the movie to be a blockbuster, but there are questions about whether it can hit the coveted $1 billion water mark. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/10/justice-league-aims-for-1-billion-after-a-rocky-year-for-dc-movies.html Edited November 12, 2017 by ComicConnoisseur 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably visited some of the comic forums, and saw folks noting everything needs to hit $1 billion or they're a bust. Kind of like when Deadpool came out and generated 13x budget. Then some folks assumed any successful superhero film that year had this as a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsilverjanet Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I think they are banking on a bigger international draw as a result of having the big (Superman and Batman) in another movie. big movies like this do wonderful in the international market where the moviegoers aren’t easily influenced by a vegetable-meter paperheart and NewEnglandGothic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 At least the articles notes near the end they recognize WB had to pull back and restart. So it is not trying to shoot for the moon, but rather build a successful franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No comic book movie this year has come close -- not Guardians 2, Spider-Man: Homecoming, or Wonder Woman. Thor:Ragnarok won't either, and that's rivaling Wonder Woman with 93% positive among the critics. Warner Bros. best be happy with their $300 million spend netting $875 million or so.

Think WB is actually saying to the media, please do not saddle us with that it is 1 billion or bust. Let us hit the 800 to 900 million which is very likely so we can say it performed as expected, and we are happy. Not be fielding all of the it did not hit expectations what went wrong questions.

Gatsby77 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Even the early screenings tonight smack of desperation -- get the eager fans out to spread positive word-of-mouth a full 48 hours before the critics' reviews begin weighing it down. Note: Not that I didn't try to see it tonight -- I'm on the wait list but doubt I'll get in. Also - basic theater economics are running against it. Fewer people are going to the movies this year as streaming options reach their apex. Proof? With just 7 weeks left in the year, the number of tickets sold in 2017 is running 30% (roughly 300,000) behind the total sold in 2016 and 2015. That's a lot of ground to be made up by Justice League, Star Wars, and every piece of Oscar bait that will be released between now & Jan.1.

Just for clarification...$300 million was on the movie only. With marketing/promotional expenses the total is estimated close to $650 - $700 million in total cost.

(if I recall correctly) Really tough to throw all the marketing / promotion cost into the mix unless you can also throw in the mechanizing and license fees they will collect from all the stuff like lunch boxes or happy meals that will surely come with a movie like this. I'd think $750 - $800 million would make a good profit if it just comes from ticket sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillax23 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 There seems to be an awful lot of hate and negative speculation on this movie ..... which is baffling to me ..... maybe I am alone in just waiting to see the movie before bashing or praising it. I get commenting on a trailer etc. - but a trailer does not make a movie. Referencing BvS is also weird, as DC just hit a home run with Wonder Woman, why not just go into it with an open mind???
