even if this is a sign of superhero fatigue, WB is absolutely fricking itself into the ground spending 200 million on movies about DC characters nobody even liked to begin with
this is like if Paramount saw how badly The Phantom did in 1996 and immediately threw twice as much money into a Mandrake the Magician trilogy
People like Flash, they just poorly casted him and give him a shit movie, Flash had TV show lasted 10 years, he in popular cartoons, people buy shirts with his logo,etc. People like The Flash but anyone can tell just by looking at the poster this movie shit.
I had normie friend he like TV show (during second season when we talked, so still decent) and like him Injustice and bet he most likely hates how this movie is.
people liked Defenders of the Earth but I still wouldn't have bet hundreds of millions of dollarydoos on them going to see four hours of my shitty hot take on the characters
Oh sorry, when you said “superhero fatigue has begun”, what you actually meant was “there are still superheroes who are guaranteed to bring in money”
My mistake.
>Saw on normie site Facebook a post about Flash. >All the comments are people b***hing about how it's not the guy from the TV show.
I think you add that to long list of way it bombed.
you have it when a movie does well, you have it when it bombs.
Its part of the game, only a shill would be bothered by that. That's the biggest bomb in years, do you really expect no one to talk about it?
Spider-Man fans. They got bored of gatekeeping Ultimate and 2017 fans out of the right to an opinion. Now they gotta do the same to the DC film that had the 'audacity' to run against it, no pun intended.
>Spidermangays don’t think about DCshills at all Only in DC threads do you see people ever bring up
Do you live under a rock or are you not aware of the online gangrape of shade memes being thrown at Flash by people who didn't watch the film?
back in 2008 the DCfriends and Marvelfriends had a friendly little shitpost argument about whether The Dark Knight or Iron Man would make more money and result in more movies
by the time The Dark Knight Rises rolled around that had become a less than friendly rivalry as Watchmen, Jonah Hex and Green Lantern had all flopped while Marvel had a string of well-received hits and more on the way, so people started arguing the technical side of why things make more money and what constitutes a flop
and now it's 2023 and we're arguing about whether a wrestler from the 1990s and a violent sex pest could save the DCEU, a movie series so poorly received that even its own stars have nothing good to say about the experience once the promo tour is over, while the biggest criticisms you can lay out at the other team are a couple of lead actors out of hundreds they've hired over the years turned out not to be such nice guys after all and are now out, and some of the 30+ movies and the dozen or so tangentially related Marvel movies released in the past decade haven't been very Morb at all
basically watching WB beat itself over the head with bad decision after bad decision is our board sport: it's fun, it's actually funny to see these disasters coming a mile off and post "the bacon suit will be fixed" about them like anybody still remembers that reference
but it also attracts posters who don't get that this is purely about watching DC - and in fairness, anybody else who started making terrible, terrible comic book movies over and over, not even competently made, just frickin FOX-tier 'ping' there goes the bad guy now his render time is over stuff - it's about watching DC destroy itself
A regular non-multiverse unrelated to DCEU standard origin superhero movie with an likeable actor and solid script of The Flash would do well but DC shot themselves in the foot to many times with their other movies and tainted shit.
Rumor has it that the budget is $200M + the $65M advertising cost equaling to $265M in total when it's currently at $176M now. You think it's gonna at least make it pass it's budget.
>Ignore marketing costs >Ignore reshoot costs >Ignore the fact that theaters take half of the money per ticket >"It's not that bad bros..."
WBD is already $50 billion in debt, and interest rates are going up. They needed this film to succeed.
It wouldn't be huge, but I imagine that had Flash used the second intended ending (where Cavill Superman was still around), and not had announced that Henry Cavill was leaving and the DCEU would be completely rebooted, there may have been more people watching Flash.
Well folks, superhero fatigue has finally begun full force.
nobody likes DC
even if this is a sign of superhero fatigue, WB is absolutely fricking itself into the ground spending 200 million on movies about DC characters nobody even liked to begin with

If your normie friend likes injustice then he's your friend with bad taste.
He like The Flash in it and playing the game, I don't think he cared about the story.
Then your friend potentially hating the movie isn't the most convincing argument.
people liked Defenders of the Earth but I still wouldn't have bet hundreds of millions of dollarydoos on them going to see four hours of my shitty hot take on the characters
>people buy shirts with his logo
No, people buy shirts with Bazingaman's logo
>Superhero Fatigue only effects DC movies
Maybe your movies are just shit?
The #1 movie of this month is a superhero film…
The thing with Spider-Man is that everyone loves him and is highly recognizable, he’ll always do good in theaters regardless
Oh sorry, when you said “superhero fatigue has begun”, what you actually meant was “there are still superheroes who are guaranteed to bring in money”
My mistake.

>>All the comments are people b***hing about how it's not the guy from the TV show.
Makes sense.
>Movie about annoying guy being annoying does poorly
Who'd have thought.
I mean, say what you will about the quality, but Grant feels way more like the Flash than Ezra.
You don't get to decide that though because neither are OG Barry.
Gustin is much closer than Miller, especially in the later seasons.
Superman: Legacy will have a budget of $25 at this rate
Unless Blue Beetle and Aquaman 2 also bomb
Which they will
>low budget superhero movies
yes please
>Low budget Superman
Because that worked so well the last time
It worked well for the first two films. Just make good scripts.
Those movies had insane budgets anon.
The two first movies were not cheap at all. The budget of Superman was around 55 millions, with inflation that is around 265 millions.
unironically a great poster
Y'all forgetting how good Superman & Lois looked on 1 million per episode.
WTF is with the boxofficegayging lately?
>lately
How new are you?
you have it when a movie does well, you have it when it bombs.
Its part of the game, only a shill would be bothered by that. That's the biggest bomb in years, do you really expect no one to talk about it?
Cinemaphile tourists shitting up the board cause all the major releases this month are Cinemaphile-related
Spider-Man fans. They got bored of gatekeeping Ultimate and 2017 fans out of the right to an opinion. Now they gotta do the same to the DC film that had the 'audacity' to run against it, no pun intended.
*Ultimate and 2017 cartoons
lol Spidermangays don’t think about DCshills at all
Only in DC threads do you see people ever bring up “muh other fandom”
>Spidermangays don’t think about DCshills at all Only in DC threads do you see people ever bring up
Do you live under a rock or are you not aware of the online gangrape of shade memes being thrown at Flash by people who didn't watch the film?
*said people being Spider-Verse fans/posters
No, that just sounds like regular people to me whenever any movie flops
I don't seem to recall any Shazam 2 memes when Ant Man 3 did better lol
Shallow people have shallow conversations.
well it started with DC ironically enough
back in 2008 the DCfriends and Marvelfriends had a friendly little shitpost argument about whether The Dark Knight or Iron Man would make more money and result in more movies
by the time The Dark Knight Rises rolled around that had become a less than friendly rivalry as Watchmen, Jonah Hex and Green Lantern had all flopped while Marvel had a string of well-received hits and more on the way, so people started arguing the technical side of why things make more money and what constitutes a flop

how often do you get to say you saw it coming
Listen if you're shitposting because of that then you're a fricking loser who should be laughed at.
welcome to Cinemaphile
>best comic book movie since TDK

~30% of the production budget spent on marketing is pretty small, isn't it?

>Shazam 2 was better than Flash
Good to know box office reflects facts.
looks like the peoples interest in this movie is dropping in A FLASH
WB never listened to the fans.
Let's be honest and put Snydergays being annoying aside. Would it have saved them financially?
At the end of the day people wanted to see Batman fighting Superman and got fifteen different subplots they never asked for
It wouldn't be huge, but I imagine that had Flash used the second intended ending (where Cavill Superman was still around), and not had announced that Henry Cavill was leaving and the DCEU would be completely rebooted, there may have been more people watching Flash.
DC isn't worth shit when compared to Marvel.
We did it Elemental bros, we defeated DC
