HOLY SHIT!!!!! GUNN IS FUCKED!!!!HAAHAHAHAHA> It has cost Gunn and Safran’s DC dearly; Industry sources are estimating a $125M loss after a $68M WW and $37M domestic opening and all first cycle downstream ancillaries. Warner sources have told us that breakeven for the Craig Gillespie-directed space opera resides in the $315M global range after a reported $170M-$186M net production cost and $120M global P&A (that doesn’t include the record DC $100M promotional partner campaign).https://deadline.com/2026/06/supergirl-bomb-boxoffice-1236970324/
>>221443504They keep making them. They all fail. I don't get it. Where does the money come from?
>>221444345Larry Fink
>>221444345A flop loses $100m but a hit movie gets $1b. They still net a profit
>>221443504125 is the lower estimate too kek
Not the first time.
>>221443504How the fuck do you make a bigger bomb than the marvels? When people were saying they thought that could be a possibility I thought surely that's impossible.
>>221444345Your tax dollars.
>>221443504Why did Christian dads do it, bros...?
>>221444345>Where does the money come from?
OH NOOOOO NO NO NO NO
>>221443504Morbidly obese bros... We won.
>>221445902We ALWAYS win.
Saars they should have casted Sydney SweeneyHow am I supposed to masturbate to this movie sirs
>>221443504GUNN JUST APOLOGIZED ON THREADS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>221445979This can't be real...
>>221445979HOLY FUCKING KEK!!!!!!!!!!!
As soon as I hear Gunn got brought on board of DC after getting canned by Marvel for his extremely questionable background and tweets I was like "Why would any company take a risk like that?" Seems they just should have left him to his devices
>>221443504Burning hundreds of millions of dollars is *so* punk rock.
>>221445979>>221446022>>221446023what a retarded thing to lie about
>>221444345ReminderThese past 10 years have been filled with most of the biggest box office bombs of all timeHow is this sustainable?
>>221446085>>221445881
>>221445891Jesus Christ.
>>221444345Movies don't lose money given enough time
>>221446085>How is this sustainable?I also want to knowdo they have a money printer machine just like the government?even if they're getting infinite loans..they will never be able to pay themwtf is wrong?how do they do it?
>59% male audienceMen showed up, women didn't. Do better, ladies.
>>221445979Hah I wish that was real. But yeah no fucking way he'd ever be allowed to go rogue like that, especially when a movie just started airing.
>>221447075dark money for pushing agendas
>>221444345>>221447167It in fact does not have anything to do with BlackRock or Wall Street at all and has everything to do with tax credits, tax rebates, and other very direct subsidy. On average, a quarter of every Hollywood budget is publicly financed.The best illustration of this is Forrest Gump. That movie made so much money Zemeckis and Hanks each got a $40M bonus. When the writer asked for his back-end points, he was informed, due to Hollywood accounting, that the film actually took a loss so big they were applying for tax rebates.
Its not gonna hit 100 mil worldwide. It will be taken out of theaters be end of second week
>>221443504Weird, cause it was an okay movie
>>221445872>eww you guys are weird, and if we're offending you then good, fuck off!Okay, we will
>>221448429Funnier with the original line
>>221446085Should have kept Snyder lol
>>221443504Female Superhero Successes:>Wonder Woman (2017)>Captain Marvel (2019)Female Superhero Bombs: >Supergirl (1984)>Tank Girl (1995)>Catwoman (2003) >The Marvels (2023)>Supergirl (2026)Covid Cope edition:>Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)>Black Widow (2020)>The New Mutants (2020)Why do they keep trying this genre? Women don't watch capeshit, men don't care about female heroes. The only 2 hits were carried by expanded universes and anti-Trump hysteria.
>>221448623I like that this list completely forgets about Madame Web just like everyone else kek
>>221445979is this soγ spill real?
>>221444345it was USAID for some of it
>>221448286According to WB the LotR trilogy also lost money and that's why Christopher Tolkien didn't see any money from it.
>>221443504>a $68M WWWhat does "WW" mean?
>>221446085>Hey investors, it is us (insert brand), and this guy here is going to get us trillions!>movie flops, everyone else got free money 'working' on the flop for years, investor lose everything.>Hey new investors, it is us (insert brand), and this guy here is going to get us trillions!>movie flops, everyone else got free money 'working' on the flop for years, investor lose everything.same shit happens with games.
>>221443504Read that something like 65% of the viewers were men, so all those stronk independent womyn who don't need no man, didn't bother going to see this feminist flick.
>>221443504It didn't need to make money at the box office, outside the domestic one it's not really that important. All it needed to do was restore faith in the brand, which it's doing
>>221446085I love how pretty much every one of those has>released to universal critical acclaim with a score of [85-90%+] and was nominated for 15+ academy awardsjust under the box office section where it talks about how they only grossed half or less of their budget
>>221446085>The Marvels is the biggest flop over the last decadeNever fails to make me kek. Brie fans were gloating before the movie ever came out that it would be a massive success and went into a coping meltdown when it flopped.
>>221446022>>221446023>>221448671It's Logan Paul's apology from the suicide forest video where he made jokes about the dead guy he found.
>>221448623where's Elektra?
>>221448623WW84 was released during peak covid and simultaneously on HBO Max. No cope about that. The dvd sales were ok and they were making the third movie despite everyone hating it. Gunn pulled the plug because of his reboot.
>>221449522>12 million opening weekend off a 43 million production budgetIT'S A BOMB BABY!
>>221449242i knew i recognized it
>>221449547>5.3 on IMDB>57% on RT Wow, I wonder why Gunn cancelled the sequel...
>>221443504Gotta love it.
>>221448655Dakota getting more unhinged as the promotional campaign went on is something I'll never forget.
>>221443504>Critics and fanboy media thrashed Supergirl not just for its Guardians of the Galaxy touchstones, but also for aping Mad Max. How dare Supergirl save enslaved women in the galaxy like Mad Max and Furiosa! Following the misfire of Lionsgate’s Ballerina last summer ($140.2M WW) and Furiosa the summer before ($174.3M WW), these female-led action pics and superhero properties come up against immense male toxicity, with some critics picking on Supergirl headliner Milly Alcock‘s physique.i literally just read the tom king run yesterday, there ain't no human trafficking in that. also helen slater is my supergirl
>>221446085>How is this sustainable?It isn't. Did you forget they sold themselves to Paramount. Do you idiots not pay attention to anything that's been going on? WB's been in serious debt for years. They sold themselves to AT&T, Discovery and now Paramount.
Gunnsisters.......the Synderchuds are laughing at us....
>>221449076Bait
>>221444345I remember that story a couple years ago about how Gods of Egypt finally "broke even" like 8 years after it first released in cinemas. Weird to think even something like Supergirl will still be "making money" a decade from now, but it will.
>>221448968world wide
>>221443504>break even point is 300 mil>wonder woman had a similar budget and "flopped" only making 850 milDoesn't add up
>>221449740>these female-led action pics and superhero properties come up against immense male toxicityWOMEN DON'T SHOW UP
>>221445979Snyder never had to apologize
>>221450031Yes he did. Not only for making all those shitty movies but also for the insane indian shill campaign on this board.
>>221443504maybe he should stop making movies around his spotify playlist
Snyderbros are faggots
>>221448458Nah it ain't
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
Explain to me how Gunn's Superman isn't one of the biggest bombs in cinema history>indirectly caused numerous DC movies to bomb beforehand because everyone knew Gunn had rebooted the universe>rumored to have a 360m production + 200m marketing budget, which was later on toned down by WB >massive ad and shilling campaigns all over the world and Internet>Can't put Reeves Batman 2 in production because Gunn wants Batman aswell>Movie releases to extremely forced shill narrative of muh optimistic DC >Extremely mid box office performance, can barely edge out MoS domestically not factoring in increased ticket prices and is a complete flop internationally>Even on /tv/ there are more threads on MoS than this one>all online discourse is still about the Snyder movies>Highlight of the movie is some CGI squirrel being saved because that's somehow important>WB had to fast track the digital release ahead of its original September release to make back some bucksHow the fuck is this the hit shills claim it is? It has all but destroyed DC.
>>221448509Fucking A. >>221450031If anything, people should be apologizing to him.
>>221444345Your taxes
>>221445846This. Until the tribe loses the monopoly.
>>221451022It gets a sequel soon, unlike Man of Shit
>>221450993
>>221446085When shittty movies keep being made despite not making money, it could be the purpose behind making them is not making money
>>221451520Man of Steel sequel is Dawn of Justice.
>>221444345Most movies lose money at the box office, the studios recoup the costs from home video and subsequent rereleases. They own the rights for like 95 years until they fall into the public domain, Universal is still profiting from those old black and white monster movies like Frankenstein and Dracula which came out during the Great Depression.
>>221448934Peter Jackson planned to make the Hobbit movies immediately after LOTR but it was put on hold for almost a decade because he had to sue New Line to get the money they owed him.
>>221443504>HOLY SHIT!!!!! GUNN IS FUCKED!!!!HAAHAHAHAHAare you okay? it's just a film bombing not that exciting bro
>>221451520Gunn himself was adamant that Man of Tomorrow isn't a Superman sequel
>>221452597Nice try
>>221449740>How dare Supergirl save enslaved womenHuh? That wasn't in the comic.
>>221443504We're getting a new reboot. Who cares about Gunn's Superman sequel now.
>>221448623You forgot madam webb
women in leading roles don't sell tickets. back in my day we used to call these chick flicks, they were cheap, sappy, stupid, but women fucking love em and they are cheap to make, easy to make a profit on. now these clowns are for some reason convinced women are capable of being the leads in anything beyond a hallmark film. but you know what? it's kind of based someone is fucking these yellow hats out of millions of dollars
>HOLY SHIT!!!!! GUNN IS FUCKED!!!!HAAHAHAHAHAautism
>>221450896Kek Gunnjeet melty
Superman made MoS retroactively better and Supergirl did the same to Wonder Woman. The first WW got $823 million.
was the movie good at least?
>>221444345As many costs as possible go to some random companies that declares bankruptcy and they have a shit ton of time to make it back selling it to streaming/tv or whatever to eventually pay for it. They obviously don't want to spend all the time making that shit and only get slow/long term gains though
>>221453405I liked it better when it was Goku and Frieza.
>>221448368In what world is that an acceptable metric? No one has to time or money to waste on an okay movie.
what would you do if you found the missing $125,000,000 /tv/?
>>221445881Selling drone videos of peaking into her windows while she's doing the dishes
The movie wasn't even "okay." Why the fuck does a Superperson spend 9/10s of the film as anything other than super? Okay, she wants to orbit a red sun to get drunk, do that, drop it ASAP, and then get back to the part where she can punch a hole in the bad guy's chest like Kung Pow. Instead in this film she's:>de-powered from the red sun>inexplicably NOT fully powered from the yellow sun>nerfed again by refugee camp poison>somehow, again, NOT reinvigorated by the yellow sun>dying under a green sun>again just not brought back to the full power of a Superfamily member by the yellow sun>then finally hit with half a dozen Kyrptonite arrows???Also, how the FUCK does some random merc jobber just have Kyrptonite?! It only has ONE purpose germane to a space warlord's job, it's got to be impossibly rate, the planet blew up over 3 decades ago at this point, like just what the fuck? How lazy can you possibly fucking be? If you don't want to tackle the challenge of writing problems for someone that could just throw their enemies into the nearest sun, don't.
>>221448623you forgot the harley quinn movie
>>221449764Not bait. He just has a MBA.
>>221453147oh yeah? tell that to barbara stanwyck and shirley temple. women can be leads if they're sexy
>>221451609>Snyder saar tries to make the Batman movie into a Superman sequel to save izzat
>>221448623Black Panther 2 was a success, although the massive asterisks are:>It wasn't marketed as a female-led movie at all>It had the 'morbid curiosity' factor of people checking out how they'd make a BP movie without Boseman>It still grossed half a billion dollars less than its predecessor.Captain Marvel has a lot of caveats like that too, i'd argue the first Wonder Woman is the only true female superhero success.
>>221443504Unfortunately, Gunn is friends with the Ellisons, so the rumors are they are going to let him stay. But, they will be putting him on a tighter leash.
