Lol. It's funny how things work out. Pandemic made even good movies suffer. Should have just postponed it. 

 

You can't blame Covid because Dune, Free Guy and Venom 2 did very well at the box office. You can't use HBO Max as an excuse either because Dune also had a simultaneous streaming and theatrical release. The Suicide Squad bombed despite receiving great reviews.

 

By the way, didn't the trailer also get 150 million views in one week? What happened?

Ya true. Movie is good though massively overrated, but no way Free Guy or Venom 2 deserved to get more.

Yeah Tron Legacy was dope! Too bad barely anyone remembers or talks about it anymore. "Flynn Lives" used to be a big thing among the small fanbase back then.

Also, why the f**k is OUATIH censored so much on Netflix India? :doh: "Smoking kills" warning taking a big chunk of the screen and some words are beeped out. I watched the movie in theaters and it wasn't censored at all! 

Not true. People still talk about it. Mostly remembered for its music and visuals.

It would be incredibly lucky to earn 100 million in China, forget doubling 900 million. Hollywood movies havent worked in China since pandemic. Endgame is the highest earning movie in China at around 600 million. Next best is 350 million which is one of the F&F movies

Source? Can't remember any huge blockbusters releasing in China after the pandemic. China isn't even allowing any Marvel movies.

Dune would have bombed as well if there was another movie with the same name released 5 years before it that received heavy criticism from both the fans and critics.

It was fairly rated. Such an original movie in a sea of movies which feel like they came out of a conveyor belt. 

 

Don't understand WB's obsession with the f**king Suicide Squad and Harley Quinn. It's as if they don't own the greatest superheroes and superior comic book stories and characters compared to Marvel, and Suicide Squad is their most valuable IP. They even forced Rocksteady, one of the greatest game studios of our time, to make a f**king Suicide Squad game. what the f**k is wrong with them? Hopefully, the buyout by Discovery would change things up.

Ya someone needs to buy dc from them at the minimum. A f**king Black Adam movie is coming too. Unbelievable. Suicide squad at best should have been a tv show. A properly planned dceu would have blown mcu away but they keep ruining it. Two suicide squad movies :lol: What's next? Booster gold movie? There is no point in making your B or Z listers popular if you keep screwing up A listers. All good stories involve A listers anyways.

Batman, Uncharted, latest Bond movie, Dune, Enchanto, Jungle Cruise, GI Joe, etc. all of them bombed. F9 and Kong vs Godzilla are the only two movies which succeeded to some extent. Even those earned much less than what they would have earned in a normal, pre-pandemic situation. Point is that almost all the Hollywood movies that have released in China have earned much less than they would have ideally earned pre pandemic

Lol I thought the game was getting a movie. 

 

Yeah, plenty of people seem to be getting confused.

I don't know if it's ballsy or dumb on the studio's part to not include 'Predator' in the title.

But then again, it's a direct-to-streaming movie. So maybe they just don't give a sh*t.

Chill out. They are also making movies on Batman, Joker, Wonder Woman, etc. 

Mostly just Batman related content which is their biggest moneymaker. Joker doesn't count because that's still Batman related. Doubt another Wonder Woman movie is going to happen since the sequel bombed.

The good news is Discovery bought WB and they really want to make Superman popular again. Let's see.

Batman has historically never made a lot of money in China. The rest of them are pandemic movies bruh. Not to mention, the theatres in Shanghai, the biggest market in China was going through a lock down due to COVID. Things haven't gotten back to normal there yet. The new change is China just not allowing big Disney movies and movies like Top Gun Maverick to play there. Not the movies not making enough money.

If WB had thought the DC universe properly we could have had Justice league movies covering stories like Tower of Babel, Identity crisis etc. Darkseid, Brainiac would have been featured too. It's baffling decision making from them. At least animated universe was way better.

The executives didn't care about any grand vision. They refused to delay Justice League because they didn't want to lose their bonuses.
