>After grossing $65.1 million on Friday in North America ($20.5 million from previews on Thursday and $44.6 million on Friday), Suicide Squad suffered a massive 40% drop on Saturday, and may gross less than $40 million for the day. If that trend continues for another massive drop on Sunday, the overall weekend box office haul for the film could end up being in the $130 million range after early estimates ballooned to the $140-$150 million range.

>Given the scathing reviews, it seemed likely that Suicide Squad was headed for a massive drop during the SECOND weekend of release, similar to what happened to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but it appears that the negative reviews are actually affecting the opening weekend box office numbers.

>Despite setting records with its $166 million domestic opening weekend back in March , Dawn of Justice also dropped 38% from Fri-Sat during that first weekend. Negative reviews and word of mouth caused the film to drop an unprecedented 68% in its second weekend of release. In comparison, earlier this year, Deadpool saw just a 10% drop going from Fri-Sat during its first weekend in North American theaters and Captain America: Civil War had a small percentage decrease as well, at only 18%. Fox's second comic book movie released this year, X-Men: Apocalypse, saw a 22% drop from Fri-Sat during its first weekend in domestic theaters.

not surprising, the movie had some enjoyable moments but was painfully mediocre to outright bad in spots.

>Despite the huge opening for Suicide Squad, when it comes to the audience and critics’ response to the film, it’s deja-vu all over again. Like Batman v. Superman, which earned a 27% Rotten Tomatoes score and B CinemaScore, Suicide Squad is getting panned by critics (26%) and has registered an above average response from CinemaScore crowds who gave it a B+ tonight.

...

>But Suicide Squad‘s weaker grades were with the middle-age folks with 25-34 year olds (22%) and 35-49 year olds (17%) giving it a B. That’s who dragged this pic’s CinemaScore down to a B+. Some think that a 60% second weekend decline is imminent.

The DCEU was irreversibly poisoned by Snyder with the garbage that was Man of Steel, followed by the cinematic abortion of BvS.

This isn't "company wars". I love DC, and it's because I love DC that I pray for the DCEU's failure. What they've set up is utterly worthless shit.

It needs to crash and burn so that there can be hope that something better comes along one day.

Same reasons BvS wasn't: massive opening.

Suicide Squad had one of the widest August openings of all time with 4,250 theaters showing it across the country.

Like BvS, this front-loading let it make a huge burst of money upfront before the bad reviews and word of mouth took it down.

So, how do we fix the DCEU?
>>
>>85244808

The DCEU doesn't have the quality control the Marvel films have, each of the directors is pretty much free to do whatever they want within the framework that Snyder laid out, and I think that really hurts the films overall.

Marvel's films have a different problem, they are becoming quite stale and formulaic.

The writer for X-men 1 and 2 was fired by Tom Rothman. Rothman hated the X-men and wanted it to fail from the start. And X-men as a franchise only recovered when Rothman left and the original people was brought back. And now Rothman is running Sony.

Ditch Snyder

Instate a measure of quality control similar to what Feige does for marvel.

Establish the Trinity in 3 separate movies, bring in the rest of the league over the span of the three movies (Superman meets Flash, Wonder Woman meets aquaman. ect) then bring them together for the justice league.

Boom, you just did what marvel has been trying to do in half the time.

The only thing we have to measure this "word of mouth" is cinemascore, and for now it's more or less following BvS' road

>>
>>85244903
how can it be frontloaded so much that it breaks records if the well is poisoned by the association to Snyder like the anon claimed? By all logic it should have tanked since this is the third movie in the DCEU. BvS started out big but suffered from negative to polarizing word of mouth, where as Suicide Squad is opening big AND enjoying great word of mouth and people actively saying the critics were full of shit when they panned it.

If that were the case the initial night wouldn't have been as large. You would've seen a massive difference between presales tickets for the opening night and normal ticketing.

What's far more likely is this means word of mouth on the film was so bad from those who were excited enough to see it opening night that those who held out just for one night heard bad word-of-mouth and decided against seeing it.

Hit'n'miss. Its good movies are better than anything from the MCU and its bad movies are worse than anything from the DCEU.

MCU is consistently above average, DCEU is consistently below average. XCU alternates between dogshit and kino.

>Sooo what i get is that FOX is second place in the cape movies race ?
We don't know. X-men isn't dead or anything, it's just that it has mixed history so people aren't sure about the quality. Deadpool obviously gave them a boost, but we will see if they can build something from that.

Sony dropped the ball with Spiderman but should do okay with letting Marvel run things for Homecoming. Rothman say that they will deliberately keep their hands off the film and just worry about counting the money. Ghost Busters 2016 was meant to be Sony's new cinimatic universe but clearly that is dead now.

Warner? Looks like despite issues, SS will sell okay despite bad reviews. My only problem with that is that I don't want them to starting thinking executive last minute editing is a good idea. Because Wonder Woman seemed to be going fine and the last thing it needs is to have Trailer Park editing it.

Warner hasn't failed as such, the issue is that Kevin their CEO has higher expectations and demands than any of the other rival companies. So he is wasting more money, demanding more changes, and is far less patient. My opinion is that Warner is in danger of self destruction from doing too much too soon.

This pattern will repeat itself for Justice League unless somebody thinks of something quick.

All the die-hard DC fans will see it opening day then it will peter out.

Hell, even if JL is above and beyond everyone's expectations and gets a 99% on Rotten Tomatoes this is likely at this point because of the bad reputation WB is building in their franchise.

Love it or hate it, the film is a financial success. It made budget and then some, world-wide.

The question is, how much does the studio expect to actually make, total?

Sometimes it's not JUST about making enough to get a little over even. You don't want to just break even, you want a MASSIVE profit margin. What were the SS expectations?

Have Snyder make a Crisis on Infinite Earths movie, then a full reboot of the universe except keeping the same casting. For Lex Luthor, just have it so Eisenberg was Alexander Luthor Jr. instead of Lex so we can still get a proper Lex.

Make sure Goyer and Snyder are nowhere near the reboot. Give Geoff Johns the power to veto any creative decisions made by meddling executives.

You're right, it's probably higher number.

>>85245286
>it's indicative of people looking at the reviews and staying home
No. See >>85245202
The embargo was lifted well before the premiere, if reviews had been the deciding factor it wouldn't have opened as large and would've grown with positive word-of-mouth.

It's great that you like the movie, or want to like it if that's the case, good for you, enjoy what you enjoy.

The evidence seems to be that most people don't like it.

>>85245340
Needs $700 million to break even, according to insiders.

That's what you don't get. Kevin want DC films to replace Harry Potter. And so far every sign point to him being extremely impatient and want as much money as possible, as soon as possible.

That's what it does you fucking idiots, it brings up what you want to see and hides what you don't. Don't ever think the opinions you see on social media reflect the general public.

Even beyond that our brains on a fundamental level can't process a tribe of more than a few thousand people, so when we see ghostbusters having 50,000 negative comments or a wall of hundreds of positive comments on social media we think "this is everybody!" when in fact there are approaching 320 million people in the united states.

Not really. It cost $200 million, plus an additional $100 million for reshoots (they reworked the entire CGI-heavy third act), plus marketing.

That puts it roughly in the $350 million to $400 million budget, and you have to double it to break even, ergo $750 million to $800 million.

If anyone actually died as result of this memery the person invoking it would see an equal or greater number of the females in their family tree afflicted with sudden ovarian cancer.
It's why sacrifices to begin with have required giving away things of considerable value before receiving anything and also having specific targets. You don't just toss bags of shit into a well and have all your enemies killed off for fuck all, you slit a few goat necks or banish a few slaves to a slow death in the desert.

WB are shitting the bed creatively. Everything they've tried post-Harry Potter has been either a financial failure or a critical failure. They've been trying to set up another tentpole franchise, but each and every one has ended up failing out the gate.

There's a reason after five years they gave in and went back to the Potter franchise
>>
>>85245527
Because those faggot disniggers need to learn their fucking place. Their movies don't deserve a tenth of the success they get. Meanwhile our movies have actual value and have much better characters.

I'm with it up until Timm on his own. Dini and Timm worked best together to get everything to flow right. Where one would go off, the other would pull them back in. That's why the DCAU worked so well for so long with that yin-yang relationship they had.

I would keep the Cereal King away as well. As much faith as some have in him, I have absolutely zero belief he will save anything other than his Michael Bay style comics in even poorer movie form.

DC needs a strong outside hand with a single vision of pulling up a universe which has equal darkness and light to it. Kevin Feige is Marvel's, as he's a giant comic fanboy and worked on many comic films before the MCU started to get a feel for what does and doesn't work.

You would have some slim hope someone like Snyder doing so many comic movies would also grow along the way, but filters & imagery is all he walked away loving in his almost Injustice vision. His wife being a big producer at WB has only made this worse.

I like Nolan to a big degree as an architect to the DCverse as every horrible change Snyder/Goyer did, he was against while they convinced WB to do it anyway. Nolan would need full authority to overrule stupid ideas. Could Timm/Nolan work? I have no idea. I think that's like putting two giant egos in the same room hoping nothing bad will happen because we know one will eventually meltdown. I'm looking at you, Timm!

WB needs to be taken away from touching shit. Ayer might have had a decent film on his own. Not great, but better than the current DCEU. Music choices, editing, banking on a fucking trailer company to make the movie better... these are terrible ideas WB gave us. Ayer isn't the greatest director (Sabotage, among others are pretty mediocre), but it still had a chance to be better than Synderverse where Batman could get raped in Prison and Superman is depressing as fuck.
>>
>>85245561
Marvel had a clear vision and a solid plan, despite a few bumps along the way. Plus, Kevin Feige actually likes/respects comics and knows what fans like.

Warner doesn't care about DC outside of the profit it might generate and is just rushing to measure up to Marvel's success with no clear plan and no patience.

This is the studio that made "Batman & Robin", for which Joel Schumacher is unfairly blamed.

Civil War is the first film in the Marvel film universe that required that you seen past films to appreciate. I note that it seems there is a lot of complaints about the lack of a giant fight at the end or that the person doesn't care about the Avengers breaking up. Fair enough. But Civil War basically assumed that you saw all the Avengers films, all the Cap films, and all the Ironman films. Anyone who hadn't seen all of these are unlikely to ever be happy with Civil War anyway.

Though to be honest that's a thing in general, even the recent marvel movies (and ghostbusters) had really fucking weird pacing - I wonder if there's some larger problem in the big hollywood studios with their editors right now.

They are aware, and that is why they are slowing down on major events and start adding more solo films. Yes, major events are money makers, but there is only so many they have to spare. Instead Marvel plans to have lesser crossovers regularly once they have enough ongoing heroes. Something like with Antman and the Falcon.
>>

Ok REALISTICALLY, where does the DCEU stand right now and how bad is this in terms of profit? Because I think audiences are starting to get tired of WBs wild ride
>>
>>85246029
It's a script problem and thus production problem. They began to shoot without a good finished script. Then they start editing, realize it doesn't work, order reshoots and new shoots. And patch everything together in the editing room at the end.
>>
>>85246385
Despite the critical bashing, they're making enough money that they can keep going. They have to keep going, just like with Harry Potter.

I wonder what WB will do with these characters. I just hope they keep making more stuff with them.

I think it's quite clear at this point that DC's very existence drives these marvelfags into fits of rage.

Optimistically, they're breaking even on Suicide Squad at around $530 million, on a budget of $175 million. WB shareholders have to be pissed that the franchise meant to replace Harry Potter isn't doing jackshit.

Audiences in the know are gonna be wary of DC movies going forward, which isn't gonna help a Wonder Woman movie stuck right in the middle of a stacked summer 2017. The audiences who don't keep track of which superhero belongs to who, though, will continue to buy tickets to the S-List superheroes opening week before telling the people they know not to see it.

What this guy said:
>>85245581
Sequels.

It's become more relevant to care about recently because of the absolute log jam of origin stories. Almost every time I say almost because of TDKR and the atrocity known as Thor 2 I prefer a cape sequel to an origin story, because it tends to allow heroes bigger feats, more iconic archnemeses, and be less repetitive.

Ten years ago, the only real successful recent CBM series were the recent traumatic memory of Schumacher Batman, the great Spider-Man 2, and the incredible X2. Then Spidey 3 and Last Stand shat the bed, and cape sequels became less likely. They've made a comeback, so box office numbers matter.

>>85246700
Divergent might not be released. There's talks of pushing it to a TV series since the last movie didn't do so well at the box office
>>
>>85245532

So all the other well-received cape movies, from Superman in the '70s to Raimi's Spiderman and the various Batmen, were only well received by mistake? Or are you implying the DCEU movies are the first *real* comicbook movies ever?

I think the real issue is that amidst a bunch of really obviously big name franchises (Pirates, Transformers) and movies with big name celebrities (World War Z 2, Bad Boys III), Competition from other comic book movies(Guardians, Kingsman, Spider-man) and a goddamn Pixar movie to boot, Wonder Woman has nothing drawing audiences beyond "it's Wonder Woman! Most famous female superhero!"

Who is the movie for? Action fans will be at Bad Boys and Transformers. Adventure fans will be at Pirates. Families will be taking their kids to Cars, Despicable Me, and Barbie. Young Adults will be at Divergent or literally anything else.

Heres my biggest fear for Wonder Woman, its going to be the worst parts of both Captain America TFA and Thor. Ares isnt going to be some badass wearing armor, there wont be any mythical monsters for her to kill, and the fish out of water humor is going to be done poorly. I want to be wrong, but I dont really have much faith at this point

Suicide Squad went all in on magic with three mystical entities if you don't count the cannon fodder. I think we'll get appearances by at least one Earth God in WW maybe with a New 52 look if for no other reason than to set up the New Gods.

The continued failure of DC Films will cause a drain in talent. Think about it. Would you rather work on a C-Tier Character for Marvel/Disney or would you rather work on an A-List Character Movie for DC/Warner?

And where's the scene explaining his change of mind? Cut. But you guys will just accept it as it and come up with explanations to justify it. Like when in BvS you came up with the idea that the world was accusing Superman of escalating the conflict in Africa when in reality they were indeed accusing him of literally killing those soldiers, but the scene explaining why was missing

You won't. This is shaping up to rather bereft of magic stuff. They've already spoiled that the ending is Themyscira getting invaded by the WWI Nazis and a big battle between the two.

Danny Huston who everyone thought was Ares is just some general. Elena Anaya who everybody thought was Circe is just some scarred woman. Robin Wright will probably turn out to be the villain.

Ares was never confirmed. He was assumed to be in it because he's Wonder Woman's go-to introductory villain and there was a split second of him in that "The DCEU will be great, you guys!" TV special.

But so far we've heard nothing about it, and there were rumors, way early into production, the villain would be evil Amazons.

Maybe that's still what's happening: maybe he was acting so retarded because Lex's mind didn't overwite the clone's brain entirely or something. Maybe during the brain transfer Darkseid-related shenanigans unexpectedly interfered with the process leaving him fucked up (and explaining the fact that he's apparently getting prophecies and shit).

At least if I was the lucky writer being handed this steaming pile to fix it that's what I'd pitch.

Marvel knew it just wanted to play it safe
>>

Super Skrulls encroach on the Fantastic Four abilities. Gunn says the Skrulls however are co-owned, so I imagine it's a Quicksilver thing where Fox and Marvel can use them due to how fluid the concept gets past introduction.

>As the saying goes, nobody knows anything in Hollywood. The film industry is in flux, and ticket sales alone don't drive revenue. There’s merchandising, VOD sales, foreign sales and a plethora of other distribution channels that can help filmmakers, producers and studios turn a profit.

Look, I'm not saying suicide squad will be the smashing hit that will break profits records for years to come. It's pretty likely it won't.

My point is that looking only at tickets numbers and figuring how succesful is is plainly wrong. Is much more complex than that, and given the merchandise you can find on every other e-shop, I think there's a fair chance ss will break even.

I think the DCEU's problem is that it relies entirely on the fame of characters and makes 0 effort to get characterization right.

Killer Croc, I think? I think we saw him before Waller narration.

I don't get people who praise Smith's performance. I'll forgive that he's almost nothing like Deadshot, but the nigga is phoning this movie in. Everytime he said Flagg's name you could tell he wasn't taking the role seriously.
>>
>>85248019
The script was fluid enough to work him in. Not as a Defender, but someone who guest stars to help out here and there.
>>

People like when he turns on the bad boyz/men in black/independence day persona. It's what people pay to see when they hear a will smith movie is coming out.

Fuck you

I don't get people who praise RDJs Tony, he's nothing like Tony. What do RDJ and Will have in common? They're both charismatic actors phoning it in for their paycheck.

So you admit you have a bias. You hate the DCEU and want it to die, therefore you'll pretty much hate and overly critique every movie that comes out of it. If Wonder Woman turns out to be good you'll hate anyways it because its in a universe you don't like.

This makes me sad. First Wolverine: Oranges, now this dreck, Danny is one of my favorite character actors. He plays a great mean bastard.

So-so movies. Some great, others bad. DOFP beats anything in the MCU or DCEU so far though.

I really don't understand what people see in the X-Men films by Singer. They're so workmanlike and safe. Even the quippiest, most template adhering Marvel flick is more memorable than the twink-master's stuff.

>>
>>85253627
>somehow
not somehow. executive meddling anon. they have a timetable. So the script gets written in weeks instead of months, so it's shit. Then, when the film is shot, they have marketing and focus group testing that say the film isn't as beloved as they want it, despite hiring a director that was always divisive and giving him a half assed script. So then they take the edit away from him and his team so they can make sure it's "better", despite the fact they don't know how to edit a film and he does. And your schedule also means that you don't have enough time for the effects studio to do more design planning and render passes. So now that looks like shit too.

So now your script is fucked, your special effects are fucked, and your edit is fucked. Are you really surprised no one liked these last two movies as much as MoS?

How can it have such a huge drop but still do 40 mil more than Guardians did?
>>
>>85254014
Its not a huge drop, most capeshit movies drop like hammers after the first weekend.
>>
>>85254014
because those trailers look really good but the movie itself is shit.

Guardians made the money it did through good word of mouth, not through it's first week gross.
>>
>>85254014
The huge drop was due to how much they made initially, it's a matter of ratio
>>
>>85254014
>How can it have such a huge drop but still do 40 mil more than Guardians did?
There was enough good things that was left behind that it was acceptable to general audiences. But that just makes it infuriating to realise it means we could have had a VERY GOOD film if they hadn't hacked at it with a chainsaw in the final months of production.
>>
>>85248261
that's the problem with these DC Failures. Sure they make money and the general public hails it as (air quote) "Good" (and end air quote) but the reality is for the actors, directors and producers it looks bad if they are attached to failures and bombs. Especially when they try to shop their name to other studios.

I mean no actor aspires to be Hayden Christensen or Jessica Alba. Most actors and actresses aspire to be Brad Pitt or Scarlett Johansson. Also yes both had top billing in movies in big franchise but in the end there career went nowhere
>>
>>85254142
What are you on about nigger, SS is still on the first weekend.

He's obviously referring to the friday to saturday drop, which was huge even for a frontloaded movie.

I wonder how much a movie could make if every theater sold out in it's showings first weekend
>>
>>85244839

>"The NEXT DC movie will be good!"
>>
>>85253046

I think DOFP captured the pure despair and hopelessness the mutants were facing and honestly went to dark places that made sense in the context of the film that neither the DCEU, nor the MCU has gone. The movie had an ultimately hopeful end that felt earned, there was humor but it didn't overwhelm the script like it did in AoU, and the emotional moments where characters died were really hard hitting.

Well of course it will. Doesn't mean we don't have another 10 years of this though
>>
>>85254157
It's not really that bad.
>>
>>85254653
But none of that mattered since they reversed time anyway. Everybody came back like at the end of a DBZ arc.
>>
>>85254476
Well SS will come close, because I know Thursday and Friday all 5 screens showing it in my town sold out every showing.
>>
>>85254937
Dude, SS isn't even the biggest opening this year
>>
>>85247654
>Guardians dropped 55% after the first weekend
>first weekend
And SS has already dropped to 40% after 2 days. In comparison Gurdians only dropped 18% at the same timeframe. And giving SS WOM is nowhere near as positive as Guardians its going to drop hard next week.

So when does Sundays take get counted? Seems like they will do that 145mil they projected.
>>
>>85255532
It's already being counted as an estimate ($31,040,000). We will know for certain tomorrow technically, but as it looks now it won't reach 140million dollaroos, as expected after the drop
>>
>>85255532
Well, Sunday has to end first.

But yeah as >>85255646 said there are estimates, these are based on what key theaters are reporting and are largely accurate - but because they're not all based on the same theaters, different companies will give differing estimates - another one going around is $31,680,000 for Sunday. Not much in it, of course.

That would leave it on $135m for the weekend, but that's not true either - it's more like $113m because the Thursday previews were so high. It seems Warner Bros. are basically sneaking in an extra day of showings every time now - not what previews are for at all - but it doesn't seem like that's doing anything other than making their first weekends look great and their legs look stubby.

It does also mean that the 40% drop Friday to Saturday is actually not drop - which is sort of good - while the 17% drop predicted for Sunday stays the same. Meanwhile the bad reviews keep coming in and the audience abuse keeps coming out - it's not a movie for non-fans, it's not a movie for critics - which is actually pretty off-putting for general audiences as they like to think of themselves as being open-minded enough to get a Dirty Dozen ripoff about superheroes.

It's a better opener than Guardians of the Galaxy (the popular Marvel movie about super-criminals banding... you know what), worse than BvS (though GotG and BvS ended on the same gross domestically, because BvS tailed off so heavily) and about identical to Deadpool and, indeed, Man of Steel, which made $70m less than Deadpool domestically.

Man of Steel numbers are probably the high estimate for final gross here. It's also worth noting that SS opened in more theaters than any non-WB movie I've mentioned - hundreds more, so it's paying less back to the studio because it's renting more screens. WB's flop-level may be just that much lower than another studio in the same position.
>>
>>85256514
>WB's flop-level

the point at which they decide it's a flop; actually it would be at a higher gross

fuck it's late
the level at which they decide it's a flop
