Lol, and I was starting to think I was a pessimist. Even I that hated WB never wished or hoped the films do bad, even if I felt the movie might not do well.

VerifiedStalin:
If you have something to say to me, don't use a proxy like a bitch; instead, speak straight to me, mano a mano.

I don't expect you to get it; based on our previous interactions, you've demonstrated that you're not the sharpest tool in the shed.

This one no be pessimism again na witchcraft

Goddamn, lmao.... It's like someone connected to the Batman stole your toy at childhood.

Which kind consistent negativity be this.
Hope say u know say with that China release u sure gonna eat your words.
Movie does nothing less than $750-800mn now.

Nope I don't think it messed with our Psyche.
We've been discussing DC for a week now. Naturally the discussions will start to drop as there's no new info or content.

During our time, marvel fans were also quiet for days.

Minemrys:
I don't think Snyder Zod was generic. He had a compelling story amongst the many versions. Here is a soldier who was created to be a patriot to his world. He wanted to save it but due to politics, the Krypton council won't listen. He had to take over inorder to get the codex. In summary, Snyder Zod on a neutral level was a kind of hero who cared about his people and will go to any lengths for them. The comics has always written Zod as a criminal yearning for power and domination. This one just wanted to preserve Krypton. He was flawed in that he didn't want to let go.

James Gunn made an excellent casting choice in replacing Chris Conrad as Vigilante with Freddie Stroma.

Not a fan of the nose ring on Taystee... sorry... Adebayo.

Harcourt is hot. Strong female lead

webhead:
is she nigerian in real life?

The communist strongly believes the movie will flop but I think otherwise. I’m only waiting for the movie to premiere so I can either gloat or be dragged.

VerifiedStalin:
I'm just being cautious. I can see how some people may misinterpret that as negativity, but history is on my side.

And, not to be facetious, I would consider it a flop if it did not gross a billion dollars at the box office. Don't make excuses about the $100 million budget; this is a Batman film. With the current state of inflation, it should easily make a billion dollars if it's a good movie.

But... I just can't shake the feeling that the film will bomb woefully.

Lol! See early onset defense strategy. Infact, I now consider NWH a flop since it did not gross 3 billion dollars at the box office, one for each Spiderman. NWH is a flop.

I'm not trying to backpedal.

With WB pouring its whole marketing might behind the film, combined with the fact that it's a Batman film, plus huge expectations, it wouldn't be absurd to expect a minimum gross of $1 billion, would it?

Na lie. U dey backtrack.
Na million of dollars u first talk. U say if e pass 500mn or something na luck.

Kaycee7:
It wouldn't be absurd. But once we cross $400m, your dragging begins.

VerifiedStalin:
You had me mixed up with someone else. Until today, I'd never been explicit about figures.

Logistically, a long anticipated Batman movie, with God-tier marketing (coupled with China release), that fails to gross $1 billion is a colossal flop. Dems da rules.

pu7pl3:
The man is prepared to die on the hill that the movie is already a flop so any news that comes out about it whether positive or negative he gobbles it up and bends it to fit his agenda...that's all

abduleez1:
See this kind marketing na.....

Na this one wan flop when na the Dark Knight.


I trust China to come true. First big Hollywood blockbuster arriving for the year. Let's say $270-300mn cume in Middle Kingdom. 400mn domestic. That gives us about $700mn dollars already. Overseas market should make up the rest to stack up to a billion.

With release in China, anything short of 1 bill is a disappointment...

Nickshrapnel:
But not a flop

Noo, not a flop..
With the marketing expenses, 450-500 million is reasonable break even point...
But that's the thing with Super hero movies these days, it's no longer enough to make a profit, you have to live up to your character hype..Man of Steel, BVS, Suicide Squad all made profits, but they were still considered disappointing by W.B and general movie enthusiasts because their various B.O office earnings weren't commensurate with their superhero fandom ...

Only thing that has made me laugh since I finished that PSG match
