Well, she's a producer of the movie. And The writer Hodgson is female, Director Cathy Yan is also female. Main Cast also female except for a few males Ewan McGregor etc.

So it's portrayed in a less "Male gaze-y" look cos it's mainly produced by females.

And NO, Harley's main fans are Females mostly teens. The R rating kinda hurt that demographic.

They messed up with that Title putting Harley Quinn's name at the tail end, when all the marketing was focused on her. Instead of it as main title.

Besides she didn't want any female cast that would have outshine her in the movie that's why you see less recognizable names in cast except maybe Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

This is why studios should not let actors interference by becoming producers in their own films when it's clear they are all about themselves.

Margot Robbie was all about promoting Harley Quinn as a strong, independent woman in the movie to the extent that she reduced Huntress and Black Canary to mere supporting characters whereas in the comic books they were original members of Birds of Prey.

It doesn't make sense....i feel Margot Robbie was too selfish.

No one reminded her that majority of Harley Quinn fans are teenagers, did she think Harley is as big as Joker who has millions of adult fans across the world

The R rating clearly hurt the movie coupled with the corona virus affecting China, one of the biggest movie markets in the world.

I predicted that Birds of Prey will flop and it has flopped.

This your epistle will mean nothing when the movie flops.

See you in 2020

hulk616:
you are very correct, birds of prey will flop like floppy birds

So all the jokers who were arguing against can now tender their apologies. I'm calling out Abdleez1, Raalsalghul and Joseph1832. Naysayers.


Shout out to hulk616, who knew the truth.

Why can't she sell a Ticket, she's an A Lister and incredibly popular. She's a big influencer. And her stock is fast rising, Evidently this film will prove if she's a Box office Pull.

Yep, most of her roles were supporting but she's been on the Rise ever since.

Nope, Will Smith wasn't really the Star Power. It was a stacked film, Team movie. Infact, the Box office/ Audience draw was Jared Leto's Joker. And partly due to Harley Quinn also, first time in a live action and the first time Joker was together with his "Girlfriend".
Margot Robbie's Harley even STOLE the show in that movie, she was the singularly good thing out of that Movie. That's also why she's the Producer of this Film.

Yep, she's not there yet in comparison to Jolie.

And NO, China wasn't in the grand scheme of things at all. It's R rated and won't be shown there same as first Suicide Squad and Joker. Infact Suicide Squad would have easily made a Billion if it showed in China.

Yes, Coronavirus is also Affecting it's gross in Asia especially South Korea, Hong Kong cos peeps have been indoors.

I agree about the joker hype but no way was Harley Quinn a major crowd puller for suicide squad,though she did ok.
You have to have to remember harley Quinn isn't even an A or B-list comic character....
Will Smith and Joker were the major Factor IMO.
You are correct R rated movies don't show in China.

Point of correction, the only reason Hulk was correct was because he was just predicting doom for all DC movies as always, not because he had perceptive spirit.

i've never known her to play a centre figure.

even in HITCH, will smith was the central figure, not her.

unlike margot robbie, she knew her limitations.

From 2000 to 2020 is 20 years. With the exception the 2012 movie of hers which was her last major work, all other movies of hers you mentioned fell between 2000-2010 which proves me right that she's most renowned during the early to mid 2000s.

You don start with your jokes again.

Birds of Prey is not a FLOP. How would you give a movie flop status in its first weekend when it almost makes back it's movie budget in opening weekend worldwide?
Yes, disappointing. But flop, no. It still even has time to make some more money as this whole month got far weaker slate of films.

It's only competition is Sonic indirectly a family movie. If it holds up well to Sonic this weekend then it might break even or even make profit.

you misunderstood me and i guess i misunderstood you too lol.

2005 - 2009 is what i meant when i said mid to late 2000s.

2010 was the beginning of another decade so was never part of my thought process when i made that comment. i only included her 2010 films because their production started in 2009.

my inclusion of her 2012 film was necessary because it was when she quit acting.

@Emboldened Warner bros ain't ready to do business then.All the producers had to do was sexify the female characters,write a passable script,create some action sequences & leave their agenda out of the film & boom a hit but nooo everthing nowadays must be politicized

The script was good. The action sequences was Top notch. There wasn't much wokeness in it as WB marketed it as.

WB marketing is what hurts this film mostly I must say.

The people that marketed this movie needs to be sacked ASAP. WB losing streak at the Box office since 2019 beginning is not even helping things.

The way they marketed Aquaman and Joker with all the negatives that was Legendary. I don't understand what messed up this one.
