I think the reason why people are shocked that TSS underperformed at the B.O was the hype around it, the movie was hyped by critics as one of the best CBM's while it's not even close.

To me it's just an average movie so the B.O performance is not shocking to me, the movie couldn't even outperform mortal Kombat on HBO max goes to prove covid is not the only factor, it's an average movie although it's way better than mortal Kombat ( probably cause of it's larger budget for both production and marketing).

Blaming the underperformance on SS 2016 is laughable because one of the movies major marketing strategies was that Gunn was given creative freedom to do whatever he wants to with the movie.
But I still believe that TSS will perform moderately well at the box office.
Piracy is also a huge issue.

PS. I enjoyed the movie though. Just my 2 cents on the matter.

Minemrys:

Bros you sure? No carry my hopes up abeg.

pu7pl3:


Bring the hopes let's carry it

abduleez1:
This one DC is pivoting towards Marvel directors I no understand.

Treyknowles:
I swear DC has problematic fans!

Minemrys:

Bro, na true?

LeonStark:


I know right ?

Half of them are already expecting a new movie to fail, based on the trailers.

Now they're going to ruin Aquaman II because Amber Heard is still in it - cause they can't separate an actors personal life from their professional life, hiding behind their phones like they're leading good lives themselves.

Minemrys:

It didn't. In 2005, CBMs didn't make that big bucks like now. Besides, the fact Batman has been over done was one factor, coupled with it being an origin story. Bros, your argument doesn't stand in alot of ways cause there have been films that were critically acclaimed that it's sequel underperformed financially even while having critical praise. And also there were films that have been bad that still generate big bucks time and again. Transformers. Besides, Superman returns didn't affect MOS box office did it? Or did Justice league affect Aquaman?
Yes, there are instances where it affects but not when the film has critics praising it.

Nickshrapnel:
Shazam didn’t flop and TSS is still on its run

SMUAG:


350m+ for a DC movie in her golden age when even there was no covid-19 then to hamper its box office numbers...

Minemrys:

Isn't that what you Snyder fans wanted? A shift from the dark and gritty?

LeonStark:


Who made them Marvel Directors.

I keep hearing this term. It irks me.

Patty Jenkins would have directed Thor: The Dark World. Would she be called a marvel director too ?

Minemrys:

abduleez1:

I thought I was the Snyder hater.
And who said I wanted a shift from dark and gritty?
I said diversity not having almost all the announced DCEU movies look MCU. It's still early days tho.

HBOMax got the dark and gritty projects. Theatrical DCEU is the one falling outta line. If dark and light are balanced no problems. The Batman, Zatanna and Constantine is a step in the right direction.

Is this "what if" series a dc production? this one that i am seeing "avenger" there.

Minemrys:

You fail to realize Shazam didn't have that big a promotion. And no A Lister. It had a budget of 100 million. It didn't bomb. Besides, Shazam wasn't that famous a character any more. It released in the middle of avengers and brie Larson. And brie Larson bombed if we are to be honest. Fake tickets and stuff.
