>Domestic BO: $282
>Worldwide B.O.: $635 million

How did a movie about Captain Boomerang and a cartoon character make this much money without China, the second biggest movie market in the entire world?

Winter Soldier had Marvel inertia and it only topped $700 million thanks to China, and SS has already beaten it domestically.
>>
>>85855565
If there was more captain boomerang and less headshot I think I would've liked this movie better. He was the only silly silver age style villain they had and yet squandered his potential
>>
>>85855565
Imagine how much BvS and SS would've made if they were actually good and not chopped up on the WB's cutting table. They just scream WASTED POTENTIAL. They could easily make a billion, but they decided to go the Transformers route and just be happy about any income.

God, DCEU is so fucked
>>
It seems the trend is that these movies will make a shit ton of money no matter what because of hype and it's probably gonna stay that way til the consumer decides the fad is over, which I hope is soon
>>
>>85855819
It has failed, it's not even making money yet

175mn$ budget + 250mn$ marketing (it rivaled CW's and BvS's) + unknown reshoot costs = not profitable until it's over at least 850mn $ worldwide BO.

Remember, the studio takes home very little of the international BO, which is why domestic BO is so important.

CW is probably the only profitable capeflick this year.

It's always funny when people who know jackshit start spouting numbers as a fact.

If this makes studios realise that they can do fine without China, then it's all the better.

Think about it, this movie is esging on Guardians of the Galaxy without making any money from the chinks. That's tremendous!

Like, this genuinly puts Marvel to shame.

You'll be proven wrong when WB reports huge losses at the end of the year/early next year. The DCCEU is a financial distaster when both BvS and SS are huge, expensive flops for them.

Marvel/Disney is apperently the only ones who can make capefilm.
>>
>>85855847
>Remember, the studio takes home very little of the international BO, which is why domestic BO is so important.

You know that SS made more money than both Thors, Hulk, Ant-Man, Captain America, Winter Soldier, and every single X-Men movie besides Deadpool domestically, right? Are you calling those flops?

Furthermore, do you think that Marvel didn't advertise Captain America or Winter Soldier? Because you're sorely mistaken.

Plus Suicide Squad was more heavily merchandised than movies like GotG, which as we all know, draws in a ton of money.

>Fine, fanboys, you win—for now.Suicide Squadopened to a record-breaking $131.5 million at the domestic box office, besting the previous record-holder for biggest August opening weekend of all time,Guardians Of The Galaxy,by more than $40 million. What’s more, the film received an average B+ CinemaScore from viewers overall and an A- from female viewers, confusing the hell out of publications (likeThe A.V. Club) that spent the last week furiously pounding out essays about how gross it is that Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn spends most of the movie in spangled short-shorts and a jacket that says “Property of the Joker” on the back.


Reminder that this is how mad people are about this movie not flopping.

It's basically become the comic book movie equivalent of this. Which I suppose is appropriate, because, as we all know, Suicide Squad is the Donald Trump of films. The media said so!
>>
>>85856187

They know it's impossible to keep the charade much longer. Even Transformers movies made less money with every new movie, how can internet """"reviewers"""" antagonize the audience when every DCEU movie is more profitable than the last? People want to see more of these characters and they go to the theaters even when critics say the movie is worse than having bone cancer, they see the movies and the realize it wasn't that bad. Not great but not bad either, then they go see Ghostbusters or the Age of Ultron and they see the flick for what it is: pure shit, much worse than anything in the DCEU. Who loses this game? The reviewers credibility, that's why people are so fucking salty about this movie being a success, because the gig is up and everything from now on is just embarrasing for them

There is no doubt this movie has been a financial success. But looking at the future, all of the success was based on the fantastic marketing campaign which the movie did NOT deliver on. The movie was a critical bomb and the general reaction from the public has been disappointment.

Civil War had a fucking media blitz behind it, 12 movies to advertise it, and reviews calling it the beat movie ever made, and it only had .035 times the staying power of a movie that had the entire press against it.

This.

Gotta say while SS was entertaining, it was also really dumb. There wasn't an ounce of characterization beside "the badass one" and "the badass one who makes occasional jokes" and no narrative flow. It was simply scenes cut together in a willful fashion. Felt like a music video or a bunch of trailers cut together. I did like that they didn't bother with origin stuff in the beginning though, just throw you right in and expect you to get it. More cape movies should do that. (Although they then went and ruined it by randomly throwing in the origin stuff throughout the movie)

We have. We did for years. All the stuff about "x killed my childhood" directly refers to the backlash from Bayformers, particularly when they put fucking flames on Optimus.

He never stopped making them.

Contrary to popular belief you can't give a movie a negative view, so no amount of not going to see the movie can counterbalance the billion chinks that go see them.

Tomatometer and rating are different figures. Say you and I are critics, we both see movie A. You think it's good, give it a 6, I think it's shit, give it a 2. The tomatometer for it will be 50%, since it's gotten one good review and one bad one, but the rating will be 4.

Now, the 19% figure is the tomatometer for top critics, with a rating of 4.7. So from all the top critics, 19% thought it was a good movie, while the average rating from all the top critics was a 4.7.

For what it's worth, it's sitting on a 26% for all critics with a 4.7 as well. Current audience is at 68% with a 3.7/5. Audience scores are always bloated as fuck though cause they account for the "want to see" value movies have before release

>How much did SS cost to advertise? How much did CW or WS cost to advertise?
It's generally taken as a figure between 50% to 100% of the production budget, leaning closer to the higher end. According to http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/08/movies/making-suicide-squad-a-smash-despite-withering-reviews.html, it cost 325m to produce and market, giving a marketing figure of 150m on a 175m budget.

Civil War cost 250m to produce, with an estimated 180m marketing budget (http://deadline.com/2016/05/captain-america-civil-war-opening-weekend-box-office-summer-records-1201750394/), Winter Soldier cost 170m to produce, I can't find shit on a marketing budget, but this http://deadline.com/2015/03/captain-america-winter-soldier-profit-box-office-2014-1201390799/ is estimating it at about 170m based on their final figures

>Unknown reshoot costs (http://www.cosmicbooknews.com/content/chris-evans-battered-and-bruised-captain-america-civil-war-reshoots)

Without reshoots it needed to make OVER $500 million to even cover its production budget. Using your metric for determining reshoot costs, that means CW would not be profitable at all until it made $1.1 billion dollars.

It literally JUST broke even. It was a flop in the same way Ghostbusters was.

You do know critics job isn't just to agree with the general mob? R-right?

I mean, they don't need to change their opinion just because it's become an unpopular opinion. It's kind of funny that you think that they should, as though critical reviews are supposed to be some sort of democratic representation.

Their job isn't just to agree with what most people think. They literally give subjective opinions about art for a living.

You are like a posterchild for someone who doesn't quite get how anarchy and freethought are supposed to work.

I'm a DC fan and I'm happy. WB is on a learning curve with this, BvS also made fuckton of money and they panicked anyways, because they want a Dark Knight and not some marvel quipfest made to dumb the masses and prevent the proletariat revolution. A new Dark Knight is bound to happen (it'll probably be Batfleck)

No one ever expected SS to not make money, but just like BvS, it's underperforming badly. Yes, DCEU is doing alright, but where Marvel keeps pushing out movies that break 1 billion worldwide, DC couldn't come close to that number. And keep in mind that BvS and SS are their big team up movies. It doesn't get any bigger than that. Justice Leage will be their last chance.

I unironically believe that Batman was the best character in Suicide Squad. I always said that I would love it and would forgive Harley's annoying attitude if Batman punched Harley.

I loved the contrast of new Batman and edge Batman. In place of the bat brand, he takes out handcuffs to hand Deadshot over to the police. I don't know if that was intentional, but I love the parallel nonetheless.

Yeah, because DC has blown their load with their big team up movies before doing any solo movies besides MoS. BvS is the biggest DC team up movie they will ever make when it comes to pure hype and name recognition and yet as you yourself admit, it did slightly better than Marvel's phase 1 solo movies.

Nah, that anon just can't explain things for shit
He saw someone else say it in another thread and assumed he knew what they meant.

Typically a studio considers a movie to be a flop if it doesn't make back at least twice it's cost. SS's production budget was $175m. It's marketing budget is assumed to be somewhere between $ 200m-300m (which isn't unusual for a big movie)

SS has made back it's costs - the studio didn't fail - but hasn't yet achieved a number that WB would consider a success.

All in all, given the negative publicity it received early on and with their previous track record, WB should be pretty damned happy with this result. It's a marked improvement over previous films and didn't lose them money. It will have good merchandise which is important.
>>

It's been rapidly changing within the last few years. The 70% rule was valid as of 2010

In this case you're right however; SS's marketing budget totalled in at roughly $150m, making the total cost $325m
>>
I'd originally read they wanted about $700-800 million for it to be a huge success, so ended up about $650 mill isn't too far short of that.

Wikipedia lists the total budget include marketing at about $325 million, though I can't figure out where they got that number.

Looking at about a $300+ domestic take, which is at least a moderate success on a $175 million budget for a first time property.

Not really. You're forgetting these are WB's tentpole movies. So these keep up their other failures, which there have been a lot of. God knows Pan shouldn't haven't made it into production. Add up costs of other movies, and you can see why WB were disappointed on BvS hitting 900m and blowing up on merchandising

I'm pretty glad it is making a decent amount of money. it's pretty integral to the continuation of the franchise and so far, I have liked it

gotta say though that SS was the weakest of the three movies we got so far even though it was a nice watch in my eyes. solely the first third felt a bit weird considering the "this is x, this is y, this is z....." approach to character introduction

flagg and harley were also pretty annoying in my eyes, enchantress was actually a positive surprise and croc and diablo were just the best. too bad we won't be seeing more of el dios azteca

BvS is just a bad movie. I swear I understand that liking something is subjective, but come on it isn't even editted or written in a way that makes it good. I say this even with an extreme amount of happiness of seeing parademons on screen.

Suicide Squad was at least a coherent movie, but lack a lot of heart that was intergral to its quality. I didn't walk away loving or liking any of the characters. This can be contrasted to a movie like guardians of the galaxy where you walk away with a great deal of affection for the cast.

Internationally, they have to negotiate with international distributors, who take a bigger cut and don't give a shit if the studio loses money.

Warner Brothers will make bank with Fantastic Beast. WB is the second more successful studio right now, the only reason Buena Vista (Disney) is ahead by over $750M is due to (a) Force Awaken money, (b) Civil War money and (c) having the top four movies of the year world-wide (Zootopia, Jungle Book, CW, and Finding Dory).

While WB only has Fantastic Beast as a sure bet this year, they also have Lego Batman next year, which should make as much if not more than Deadpool world-wide at the same release date.

People will tell you you're wrong but you aren't. It's not just a problem that Suicide Squad is having, it's systemic to the whole summer blockbuster model and why people are saying that the industry is teetering towards a huge crash.

Despite the fact that almost every year some new film comes along, makes over a billion at the box office and breaks existing sales records almost all the major studios have been suffering huge losses. The issue is that there are too many expensive films getting pushed out, there isn't enough room in the yearly schedule for them all.

He's not wrong but he isn't right either. Do you guys know what the MCU and DCEU really are? They're the Transformers and He-Man cartons from the 80's. They exist to sell merchandise. Obviously the studios want them to be good and to sell but this isn't where the real money is. Other production companies are fucked because they don't have the ability to push merch like Disney and WB can

What I get from this so far is DC knows how to market their movies, resulting huge opening weekend. But unfortunately, it didn't have great legs for long run. BvS could've easily passed $1 billion if it was better received, and so did SS, because those movies featuring iconic DC character.

Captain America is widely known by the world thanks to Marvel, but still not as big as Batman or Superman. If it wasn't for great character introduction, no one will see a captain america movie.

>Turns out that normal people *actually go to the movies to be entertained* rather than depressed and bored. They go for fun.
Disgusting. Normies don't deserve cinema.

Again, reminder that Civil War lost out to Angry Birds by week 3.

This is what bothers me about Hollywood accounting in general. If large film studios claim movies like Harry Potter and Star Wars didn't make profit, and in fact, they claim to lost money on filming it, then why do they continue producing it?

Anyone would have figured out that these studios are obviously lying and are making tons of money off it, only to report otherwise on their tax report, otherwise they wouldn't be making more of it. I'm honestly surprised that the government just tolerates this completely obvious scam.

>>85873609
Neither did the other movies.

They have good Jewish accountants who know all kinds of loopholes to pay the least amount of taxes they can. There's a reason why everything films outside of the US these days whenever they can. It's way cheaper and they get tax breaks.

>>85873681
the government tolerates it because the rich bank and megacorp owners funding these movies also throw shitloads of campaign money around when Election season is here, as a way to basically buy the policies they want the government to implement when they get into power

I wouldn't be so annoyed over this if the ones committing this hypocritical illegal act wasn't fucking Hollywood. There's so many films and Hollywood-funded related media that condemns capitalism and corrupt business industries like real estate, yet here they are commiting fraud and getting away with billions that should be properly tax. Don't fucking lecture me about the disease if you're part of the symptom, Hollywood, you hypocritical shill.

What, you don't like Harvey Weinstein talking about how all guns need to be banned, then going on to make a movie with dank action sequences with the hero mowing down bad guys with a gun?

And BvS lost to that fatty in third week. Angry Birds has broader audiences, so it was understandable

By not being safe, homogenized garbage like what D*sney's MCU has trained everyone to expect.

>BvS had to compete with big fat greek wedding 2, gods not dead 2, 3 weeks old zootopia, and the boss
>CW had to compete with angry birds, x-men apocalypse, Jungle book, and other blockbuster releases
LMAO

>>85874460
So what you're saying is that CW wasn't able to dominate the movies it competed with
>>
>>85855847
Ayer already went on twitter and thanked people for making it a success. I don't think he would tweet that if the film wasn't deemed a profitable success.
>>
>>85874460
>x-men apocalypse, Jungle book

wut

Jungle Book was already long out and Apocalypse came out like 3 week after Civil War. That's not competition. Competition is something that comes out within a week or two of each other as that's when the bulk of your box office is made.
