Abegi, no even go there. Powerful as how? Starro was a dumb villain. The argument has ended, let's not stretch it.

starro wasn't a dumb villain he was just used in a dumb way, that's a potential Justice league villian, just imagine starro taking over half of the Justinve league and forced to fight with other heros.

James Gunn just wasted it's potential cus same starro gone couldn't penetrate a spare did?

One scene in the movie that didn't make sense was when they took at those militant, how will they kill ppl and the other two guys didn't hear them until BS and PM took them from behind really didn't make sense.

Omo that city had a legit Rat infestation, they were toomany rats

just imagine just a dozen rat all over u, it's scary

Skseries:
that's the surprising part and was just abt to bring it up, the movie is so good and why is it not making money, the HBO release? Or lack of interconnection with the DCEU?

Many things.. the appalling 2016 movie didn't help either. Some still connect both together. Only DC fans and we'll informed film lovers know more.

It has nothing to do with the 2016 movie. Which movie in this time performs high like pre covid 19 era? I didn't want to answer the question considering it came from hulk616. People aren't going to the cinema like that. Black widow didn't do much, what can we say about that one? You guys give so much relevance to stupid questions. E get why I been no want talk.

The movie performed below expectations even when COVID has been considered.

I also chose to ignore Hulk's comments.

No matter how you look at it, the 2016 movie definitely also has influence on it. Same way early DC movies affects confidence and anticipation for present DC movies. This quasi soft reboot/sequel shares it's Name and also some characters.

Obviously, we aren't talking pre-covid numbers. It's pandemic performance most sensible peeps are looking now. GvK did well in BO despite HBOMax and peak pandemic infections. Same as Conjuring and A Quiet Place 2. BW ain't performing as expected but it fares better Box office wise.

There's a lot running against this movie. It's marketing and production costs also doesn't help.

Despite its poor BO performance it sure delivers massively in HBOMax. Reinforces the notion that more sat out at home to watch it, hence damaging it's BO.

TSS is a win for WB, they’d take this massive critical performance over financial(I still believe the movie will pick up, maybe with good word of mouth). But my fear is if next year’s slate also underperform, we might be saying goodbyes to theatrical release and WB in turn focus on making movies straight to HBOmax.

Hope you know that movie had a leggy run? It didn't just make a huge bucks then drop the following weeks. It had no effect. What would you say of fast and furious? Or films that are critically acclaimed only to have their sequels be underperformers financially. David Ayer SS had nothing to do with this considering this one had a "�" rating according to you guys.
3 things made it to underperform, which ironically it isn't.
The contemporary time. Online release and the R rating. It's a hit on streaming, so quit all those nonsense talk of underperforming.

i think that word reboot is the problem of DC . movie goers are tired of the reboots, one keeps watching same story told in another way.

Yep, a good win. Sure. If it can do -45% or lesser this weekend, then it'll be very good for it.

LMFAO...which Kain fear you dey fear. Next year slate has movies which all look sure hits. The Batman is a banger, Black Adam got the star power and audience buzz, Flash is kinda 50/50 but will deliver (also don't underate the pent up demand for years by fans), Aquaman is a crowd puller already and Momoa's star power and appeal. Na more big casts remain. 2022 lineup is too strong. We need the good WOM to rub off on other movies from BOP to TSS.

WB can't surrender Their major grosser when there's no Harry potter or LOTR.

It's only 2023 slate I'm bothered about sef. Cos the movies being greenlit and announced are mainly small and limited audience popularity.
Na DC Fandome go clear our eye.

The movie isn't failing financially. Guy we are no longer in the era of 1billion dollar gross. Don't forget it is available everywhere online. Who would want to go to the cinema? Especially with a virus out there.
Wake up.

It wasn't a reboot. I keep saying WB are bad at publicity. And marketing. It was in no way a reboot.

Abeg when you dey talk of word of mouth no involve birds of prey. Cause you like the film doesn't mean everyone did. Alot of people hated it, Americans are just being politically correct cause it carried with it feminism.
If you want birds of prey to be seen as the face of the dceu then don't expect much success with the franchise.

And you say David Ayer SS had a thing to do with it failing. Judging by that stance people wouldn't have bothered watching na.

It is barely a week since it's release. Give it time. And to be honest, it wasn't the second coming so stop putting too much pressure on it.

I’m not putting any pressure, when I say underperformed, I mean they expected it to gross $10 in the first week, but it instead grossed $6 which isn’t surprising considering the many hindering factors out there. Do you understand me?

I disagree. Suicide squad 2 failed because
1. Nobody knows whether this is a sequel or prequel.
2. The movie was trash. Starro was defeated by rats. What was the point of Harley Quinn subplot.
3. R-rated.
4. Covid19 is not a excuse, because suicide squad still performed badly in HBOMax.

thanks for saying the truth.

It also plays a role doesn't mean it's the sole reason.
Maybe if you take a look at this article you'll grasp what I'm saying.


I no get strength for all this back and forth.

Oga, stop putting the blames on others.....
This The Suicide Squad was never anything close to great, bro.. Over zealous fanatics were just the ones overhyping an average movie.
Starro was the worst DCEU villains, him and Black Mask. What is even happening to DC sef......

Anyone can write that article. Just as I can write 100 reasons why black widow failed. The main reason is the HBO Max release and the covid 19 pandemic. It's been established that the film was stepping away from what WB gave us at first, so it's major point for audience to come out and see it, unless they didn't have to as they can watch it from home. The R rating is another factor why families won't go see it together especially during this time. Gunn SS had everything going for it, Ayer SS can't be blamed. Besides it didn't fail. The previous one was leggy. So there is still time for it to pull the money you are expecting
