Huh, who knew?
Everybody above two digits IQ already knew that
only gunnjeets denied that.
>>215111960I don't get how a 200-million-dollar film can flop.Like with that money, you'd think they'd do extensive research on what the market wants to see.But this seems to be the case of:>STUDIO: Here is 200 million, do what you want. You made Guardians of the Galaxy work, so you must know what you are doing.
>>215111960Turns out, when you get woke, you go broke. Who woulda thunk it?
>Superman had a production budget of $225 million plus a worldwide marketing budget of $125 million, Variety reported after the film was released in theaters in July.>Given that films generally split their ticket sales 50-50 with theater owners, this means that Superman’s theatrical net equates to nearly $308 million. The amount, of course, does not reflect any residuals that are being paid out or other miscellaneous expenses associated with the film.>Even going with the $308 million before taking the other expenses into account, Superman’s net falls below the $350 million Warner Bros. spent on the production of the film and marketing.>Whether Superman will ultimately end up making or losing money, though, is yet to be determined, since Warner Bros. will earn money from premium video on demand, streaming video on demand and other revenue streams, including dollars earned from licensed merchandising.
Gunnxisters…
>a lot murkier it's not. the production budget got leaked by ohio business journal. it was over 300 million. the film did 615 million at the box office, hit home video during the theatrical run, got discounted twice, got smoked by DC superpets at the labor day weekend box office, did Superman Returns numbers when adjusted for inflation, less than MOS without adjusting for inflation, and was less watched than The Penguin on HBO. Studios don't get all of the money a film makes in theaters and they don't release their marketing budgets to make films seem more financially successful than they really are. Superman flopped by every metric and Warner Bros only greenlit a sequel because they're stupid and in over 30 billion dollars of debt.
But but I thought kindness was the new cuck porn
>>215112664Is this a bot?
>>215112769Sounds like a neat, straightforward narrative you're desperate to push. I also sense some emotional investment.Snyderfags are mentally unwell, and they shouldn't have an outlet for their derangement.
>>215112591That's exactly what happened. Gunn's GOTG movies did almost 3 billion because he got lucky and managed to hit the crest of the MCU box office wave. His DCU track record is dogshit. >Suicide Squad reboot bombed>Creature Commandos bombed>Peacemaker season 1 flopped>Superman flopped >Peacemaker season 2 floppedfucking Matt Reeves out performing Gunn at the box office and on HBO. The Batman gross over 150 million more than Superman. One season of The Penguin got better viewership than both seasons of Peacemaker combined. It's fucking over for Gunn and he knows it. Peacemaker isn't getting a third season according to Gunn and the rest of his pet projects got put in limbo until he can prove that he can draw with Superman.

>>215112769>Warner Bros only greenlit a sequelThey probably greenlit and fast-tracked it to see if there's anything to the "restoring the brand" shit. If it hits a similar box office or less (not impossible), he's out.
James Gunn is a pedophile fuck and all his movies are shit.
>>215112860>fucking Matt Reeves out performing Gunn at the box office and on HBO. The Batman gross over 150 million more than Superman. One season of The Penguin got better viewership than both seasons of Peacemaker combined.>It's fucking over for Gunn and he knows it.>Peacemaker isn't getting a third season according to Gunn and the rest of his pet projects got put in limbo until he can prove that he can draw with Superman.Anyone care for a glass of gout de diamants?
>>215113398Idiot. If they lost them money they’d wait and see how Supergirl performed before even thinking about about a follow up. If Supergirl did well, they’d tell Gunn to focus on Supergirl and Lobo for a follow up. You wouldn’t fast track a follow up thst will focus on Lex Luthor
>>215112678> Given that films generally split their ticket sales 50-50 Will they stop with this bullshit already! Studies get over 70% of opening weekend domestically and it slowly goes down. By the time it reaches 50/50 they put it out on VOD. Why no movies are staying in theaters for long periods of time. Superman made 361 domestically. The Batman made 369 domestically in March with no competition. Why Superman for a sequel fast tracked
He should have had Clark destroy the Taj Mahal and spit on Vishnu. Popularity with jeets will ruin any brand.
>>215113811>Studies get over 70% of opening weekend domesticallyStudies of what sir
>>215113856India wasn’t even in a top five countries for Superman. F1, Rebirth and F4 made more money in India
>>215113811>Studies get over 70% of opening weekendThat was only Disney pre covid during their insane 1 billion movies streak. No movie nowadays is getting a 70/30 split. Theaters would go bankrupt.
>>215113881Having worked at box office as teen. Studies get over 70% opening weekend box office. Each week it slowly goes down. Why put movies on steaming around 35-45 days right when it’s 50% for the theaters. Why movie theaters going bankrupt. Not making enough on ticket sales to cover the overhead. They’re loading up advertisements before the movie
>>215113930It’s a sliding scale. It goes down each week. And theaters are going bankrupt. AMC is in massive debt
>>215112841Snyderfags don't have a leg to stand on vis a vis flops. Netflix gave him the keys to the kingdom and he tripped over his own dick in epic fashion.
>>215111960>Huh, who knew?Everyone with an IQ above 60. All the numbers were so transparently disappointing.
So when this future trainwreck bombs at the box office Gunn is getting fired. There is no way in hell they can spin this doing well if it doesn't do Wonder Woman numbers which was 800 million. I am guessing it flops to 195-250 millon worldwide and Gunn's Superman saga becomes a trilogy and with him finishing the story in Man of Tomorrow.
It's literally partially made with AI, thus it's slop.
>>215114147That’s only because China and Asian countries are boycotting superhero movies so they’re not inflating the numbers. But irrelevant since studios only get 25% of profits out of China. So MOS 63 million in China the studio only netted 15 million of it
>>215114159There are so many DC characters, why a fucking Supergirl movie? Why not try to redeem Green Lantern? Or use the Black Panther playbook and get black people out for a Static/Milestone movie. Batman Beyond. Anything.
>>215114147There was this same pretending when Man of Steel's numbers were so low. WB pumped more money into it than Disney did The Avengers, bigger marketing budget too, and it pretty well fizzled.Or all the budget, rewriting and marketing thrown at The Flash, for nothing.DC is a cursed property for them, Batman aside.
>>215114303WB has already made a Supergirl movie, and it was so forgettably bad they didn't even bother releasing it in US theaters.
>>215114123>Netflix gave him the keys to the kingdom and he tripped over his own dick in epic fashion.Snyder fucks up everything except capeshit that's why its the best place for him.
>>215114381Snyder made one (1) good zombie flick and a crazy adaptation of Frank Miller's 300.Everything else he's personally directed has been underperforming slop.The only true WB/DC successes during his tenure were when he wasn't directing.
>sources say
None of these idiots are studio insiders. WB stated it made 125 million in profit and the way they’re acting confirms this. Look how WB acted with MOS compared to this movie. It’s getting a sequel fast tracked that will focus a lot on Lex Luthor! And it’s being put out again in heavily competitive July. That is opposite of what a studio would do it didn’t make them and money.
>>215114442>The only true WB/DC successes during his tenure were when he wasn't directing.
>>215111960I did.Only people I saw talking about it were twitter accounts of various topics that seem like they could be run by Indians.When something's good, you hear about it IRL.
>>215111960Not a good time to be a character in any way representative of Shitmerica.
Still waiting for someone to tell me one movie that was a financial bomb that got sequel fast tracked and put out during July blockbuster month
>>215111960WB is trying to sell DC, obviously they're going to use bullshit to embellish its success and value.
>>215113398I don't personally think he's even going to get to make it. I think WB is at least smart enough to wait until after Supergirl to give Gunn the move. When Supergirl flops he'll be out.
>>215114442>Snyder made one (1) good zombie flickThen why do DC fans still love him a full decade after his movies?No one gives a shit about any of the other DC directors save maybe Nolan.
>>215115898>Then why do DC fans still love him a full decade after his movies?Odd case of a normie cult following.
>>215114253>boycotting superhero moviesexplain
>>215116306Trump’s trade war with China and Asian countries. Every capeshit movie has bombed in China this year. F4 had the worst showing in China for a MCU movie in over a decade. It came 5th on its opening weekend in China behind four chink movies they flooded theaters with. Now China is claiming some chink movie made almost two billion dollars. Japs been doing the same thing for a while
>>215112678>Given that films generally split their ticket sales 50-50 with theater owners,no source at all
