Matters of belief aren't worth my time. I do not think Zaslov cares periods. DCEU is basically getting rebooted. Little if anything that was from the previous administration is going to survive. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatsby77 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I'm curious what people believe constitutes The Flash "underperforming?" Man of Steel made $668 million worldwide. Justice League made $657 million. Wonder Woman made $823 million. Suicide Squad made $747 million Batman v. Superman made $874 million The Suicide Squad made $169 million Is The Flash a failure if it *only* hits $700 million worldwide? Is theatrical break-even (given the delays & presumptive re-shoots) $850 million? What's a failure here? Aquaman numbers or bust? Or are Black Widow numbers more appropriate?

A failure is if the movie is bad. Marvel's had several movies that have grossed a lot of box office but people (on here at least) think are terrible.

Bosco685 Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 Quote Ezra Miller, the embattled star of Warner Bros.’ “The Flash” movie, has been charged with felony burglary in Stamford, Vt., according to a Vermont State Police report. According to the police report, Vermont State Police were notified of a burglary complaint from a residence in Stamford at 5:55 p.m. on May 1. Police found that several bottles of alcohol were taken from the residence while the homeowners were not present. After collecting statements and looking at surveillance videos, police found probable cause to charge Miller with felony burglary into an unoccupied dwelling. Police located Miller on Aug. 7 at 11:23 p.m. and issued them a citation to appear in Vermont Superior Court on Sept. 26 for arraignment. This gets crazier and crazier with each news piece.

Because there's a wide gulf between expecting Black Widow numbers and expecting Aquaman numbers - particularly when the last few Batman- or Superman-starring films didn't hit Aquaman numbers. If you're judging *failure* by whether a film is bad, have you ever seen: BvS Suicide Squad Justice League Green Lantern Jonah Hex Catwoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BVS was box office positive which you clearly know even Deadline's ballpark estimated it made $105M after all costs were accounted for.

A full-on Batman v. Superman movie - which also introduced Wonder Woman - did less box office than a solo Aquaman movie, and the excuse is it was simply the 2nd film in a burgeoning connected DC universe? My question remains: What's a reasonable expectation for The Flash's worldwide box office? Is it a failure if it only hits $700 million? Do folks think it's gotta' do $800 million? If it does $650 million is Ezra Miller's personal life to blame? Or is that amount a reasonable expectation for a solo Flash film with Michael Keaton as Batman?

I know: it was supposed to make a billion. Blah, blah, blah. Glad you said it. The other movies on his list are well-regarded as being artistically bad and/or poorly-written overall. BvS is divided mostly by people who are open-minded, and those who aren't. Doesn't help that BvS was re-cut by the studio a mere months before release. <<< This is why I'm always curious as to the reception/reaction of the UC. It doesn't 'fix' the movie for all people, but I would say that seemingly 90% like it a lot better than the TC. Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
