Of course they're counting this a 4 day weekend to look less embarassing but there's a chance the BO will continue to fall and it'll still be in the mid 60s even when counting Juneteenth.
IN OTHER WORDS, DO YOU SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN?
gb2 Cinemaphile gay
It's Cinemaphile related
nope, bye tourist.
Black Adam's first 4 days are 71.5 million combined so it still performed in the exact same way
the flash is currently on an estimated 24.5 million from thursday previews + friday, black adam already beat it by this point
this is frickin morbius territory
Don't talk shit about Morbius.
YOU KNOW WHAT?!
MORBIUS DIDN'T EVEN COST 80 MILLION TO MAKE
IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING THIS BIG OF A FLASHFLOP
there, I was nice about your shitty movie, now get off the internet, eat some real food and stop looking like an anorexic greyhound, Jared
Morbius would've been profitable if Tom Rothman's boomer brain didn't interpret internet memes mocking the movie as "Hey, maybe this movie is actually popular" and added more screens for it long after it dropped off the radar.
frick you are right i kept thinking those movie all have more or less the same budget but it turns out some producers have more in touch with reality
morbius posting was clearly weaponized as a shill campaign. it actually gave them free ads by the "journalists" who made articles about it but they didn't considered people don't want to waste their time and money watching a bad movie.
This doesn't bode well for James Gunns Superman reboot.
More specifically Andy's Batman movie.
Dwayne sits in the back of empty showings and smiles.
"THIS IS GOOD NEWS FOR BLACK ADAM'S FUTURE IN THE MULTIVERSE!"
The fricking Snickers thieving loon thinks he's really Black Adam just like the way Robert Remus is Sergeant Slaughter.
>Snickers
Explain further
After Black Adam bombed Dwayne tried to win back his fans by showing he was a real nice and humble guy. He did that by going to a store and buying all their Snicker's bars to pay back for all the ones he stole as a kid
internet homies be remembering the stupidest shit.
It was just months ago.
Showed a picture of the aftermath of him "destroying" his own gate with his own "raw physical strength" because the slow gate inconvenienced him.
Flash: DC
Baby: The Flash
>Second place at 4,035 is Disney/Pixar’s Elemental with $11M today, a 3-day of $33M, and 4-day of $36M. Yikes, let’s hope it gets better.
Man, this is a bad weekend for everyone.
This has been a bad summer for the box office in general. The only saving grace so far is Spider-Verse and enough then it's not amazing (I'm actually surprised myself, I thought it could easily hit over $700M). As of now, the only movies that can prop up the numbers are Mission Impossible and Barbie.
tl;dr Hollywood is having a bad summer and the ride only seems to be getting worse.
>As of now, the only movies that can prop up the numbers are Mission Impossible
Not to worry, Scientology is already buying out whole theaters.
they better save me a seat. MI's the only reason I'd ever drag myself to a movie theater.
>The only saving grace so far is Spider-Verse
GotG Vol. 3 is on its way to $850M.
Gunn won
Gunn didn't so much win as he put the final nail on the coffin.
Why watch this movie with a crazy sex predator when it doesn't even matter?
Gunn didn't make Flash. He made GOTG3. The highest grossing capeshit of the year
And now he is in charge of DCEU
You're right, my bad. GotG 3 released so early into the summer that I forgot about it. That and 3's making less than 2, despite inflation and an increased budget so it's harder to call it a true success.
The only real massive success is Mario. Fans fell over themselves to say how amazing Spiderverse box office is compared to its budget but other animated films with the same budget have made over a billion.
Looking through the entire year, the big successes would be
>Mario (the biggest BO)
>John Wick 4 (best performing JW, shows interest is growing)
>Creed 3 (same as above but to a lesser extent)
>Scream VI (cheap, made more than V, made enough to be largely profitable)
>uuuuuhhh...
that's about it off the top of my head
3 (same as above but to a lesser extent)
That couldn't even make 300mil worldwide when Rocky IV was able to do that 40 years ago. It's a good thing Creed is cheap
honestly, I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel looking for a movie that made a profit. Hollywood is fricked and I can't say that's a bad thing
GotG technically isn't a summer film
>most everyone has realized that movies are now just 2-hour montages of the supposedly best looking people on earth reciting lines in front of a green screen
>only moviegoers are now druggies in it for the visual experience or chuds looking to lose their virginity while staring at men in tight costumes
at least there's popco-
>"that'll be 19.99 for a refillable bucket"
A bad weekend for everyone indeed...
>of the supposedly best looking people on earth reciting lines in front of a green screen
Dude, what was the last movie you watched? They only hire ugly people for movies now, to "dismantle the concept of beauty" or some shit.
>even when counting Juneteenth.
Is there a large black audience for this film or something?
Blacks would all punch Ezra if they met him.
I saw a few blacks walk into the theater
Is this 4th day Thursday? That's always included for opening weekend. Did you not know that?
No, the Thursday previews are always added to the opening day number on Friday. A 4 day opening is when the Monday after a film comes out is a holiday.
It's kinda of weird seeing Dwayne hit Rock Bottom now. He got big, his head got too big, he bullied his way into WB thinking he could take over, pissed people off, misled the stock market of WB's value what with flubbed Black Adam ticket sales, and now he's running back to Vin Diesel for Fast & Furious work.
Black Adam only did as well as it did because the audience liked Dwayne. Ezra has nothing but bad press.
>he bullied his way into WB thinking he could take over, pissed people off, misled the stock market of WB's value what with flubbed Black Adam ticket sales
You don't really believe WB's smear campaign, do you?
Smear campaign? Dude legit misled the market and tried to muscle in
>It's kinda of weird seeing Dwayne hit Rock Bottom now.
It never really felt like he really took off. I remember when he did the Tooth fairy in like 08 it felt like his career was over. I was surprised in like 2013-2017 when he was being considered a star again when I swore he was heading to DTV.
>and now he's running back to Vin Diesel for Fast & Furious work.
Mark and Dwayne's relationship is kayfabe.
How do they know what it's going to make for the whole weekend? If it's just estimated from the previews wouldn't that lead them to think it would do better than Black Adam since it made more?
it's almost like no one wants to see a movie that you announced you're going to erase from continuity
damn I just watched the trailer and everything looks like a fricking fanboy movie. I don't know if it's the CGI used or the angles of the camera. It comes off as something that people would upload to Youtube.
Shouldn't you be in a GL thread?
Neat detail I noticed. The DC films in modern settings take place in real time Flashpoint Barry has MK9 on his desktop, which was released in 2011, and Man of Steel occurs in 2013. Our Barry mentions Zod has appeared earlier than expected (2011) and Flashpoint Barry is only 18, meaning the film takes place in 2011. The Flashpoint storyline was published in 2011. I know this is a numbers thread but I think it's a detail worth pointing out.
H Y P E R T I M E
nice detail or good taste
either way, it is decent marketing
It's a good movie, not shit
It's not good and people not watching it shows that.
It's kinda funny that Flash is bombing so hard because it's probably objectively the best DC film that WB has put out thus far. Ezra Miller actually puts in a decent performance for once. Just too little too late.
>b-b-but aquaman
Tries too hard to be an MCU flick and has an absurdly goofy ending.
>b-b-but wonder woman
Is OK-ish up until the second half then it shits the bed.
>b-b-but snyder cut
...it's literally just the original Josstice League with extra filler bloat.
Gunn killed his only movie franchise with the reboot movie attempt instead of just outright rebooting it without the Flash movie.
>capeshit on the decline after a decade of oversaturation
>disney live action remakes on the decline
>pixar releasing fumble after fumble
>vidya adaptations moving up
>stepped animation kino moving up
>spiderverse btfoing everything else
I'm feeling hope for the first time in forever, all I need now is for all the MCU garbage to vanish forever, along with its fanbase.
>capeshit on the decline
top kek
since Endgame we've had
>No Way Home
>The Batman
>Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
people are still eating capeshit up and there's at least one big movie everyone loves every year
if anything GOTG3 and Flash prove the absolute failure of the DCEU and the supremacy of Gunn
>DCuck can't take the L
>deflect with the MCU instead
To the sane people reading this reply, don't get me wrong. MCU is shit too. But those shills do the same damage control every time a DC slop bombs, its so fricking tiring.
What else should they do? It’s not like these studios or companies listen to their viewers anymore. They’re doing more than MCUtards since DC fans are actually causing the slop their fed to bomb unlike the MCUtards
>"no actually this fail is a win for us!"
Yeah, can't fricking take the L for shit, pathetic. No one likes a sore loser.
MCUgays seem to be way more critical with Feige's frick ups. Didn't have mercy with Quantumania and Love live.
Can't wait to watch it on HBO Ma- I mean "Max" in a month.
I don't know why they decided to release this movie when they already announced that the DCEU was getting rebooted. What's the point? Throwing good money after bad.
Normies like continuity in their capeshit (which is why at Marvel's peak they were flocking to movies they would otherwise not give a shit about). They don't care about a dead franchise.
to be fair this was the only one that was supposed to matter since it's the last one (except not actually lol) and was meant to bridge the gap by actually doing the reboot in the film
cashflow I guess, that or people were due payments
there's a conspiracy theory that the head of WB marketing who just left promoted it with a superbowl commercial and heavy NBA promotion and so on so they'd have to commit, just to frick with management
but that is a conspiracy theory
Forced rivalries are gay. Go back to Cinemaphile.
>Forced rivalries are gay.
I reckon you liked them pretty well before it was revealed you're the bottom in this relationship. Now bite the pillow and spread you cheeks.
>do as much as possible to ruin company
>still inevitably get a golden parachute and another corporate job somewhere
I wish ritual seppuku was standard in the corporate world.
None of these frickers have any shame.
>warner bros
>verge of bankruptcy
As much as I hate WB, I fail to see that ever happening
>As much as I hate WB, I fail to see that ever happening
They literally filed bankruptcy a few years ago. That's why they were bought up.
>did some research
I stand corrected.
Feels fricking ironic. Never imagined the day would come.
David Zaslav is incompetent.
>I fail to see that ever happening
they got bought twice in the span of a decade, and they are so much in debt they had to give up on movie that were already made just so they could pay less taxes.
WB is on the verge of bankruptcy, Discovery is not.
That's what happens when you fire the only competent director you've ever had.
Hurray
>Black Adam does better than Shazam 2 despite being "the most anticipated sequel"
>Black Adam does better the Flash despite all the cameos and homages.
The Rock literally carried more weight than the entire DC portfolio of IP:s, huh?
DCUgays are fighting two wars. Against MCUgays and Snydergays. Obviously they're losing.
MCUgays would want DCucks to have good movies if they weren't such smug over-confident idiots.
Snydergay already lost their mind, so they were First.
Snydergays are a cancer. They want Marvel/Disney to die so bad and the only way to hurt their bottom like is to support Marvels/Disney's competitors instead. But they're so moronic they end up hurting themselves more by trashing the only things that can challenge the mouse
The Flush was never going to be a challenge to Marvel's dominance. Even during one of their worst years financially, the MCU is still outgrossing the DCEU easily.
>The Flush
It's not safe to reveal your exposed anus to Ezra Miller.
>end up hurting themselves
Or, more logically, they are reporting when anything is garbage, and your conspiracy is gay?
Everybody want Disney to die.

>barry gets interrupted and the movie logo phases away
SOUL
Well I just saw the movie and I need to let out my emotions so you frickfaces will have to listen.
First off, I'll start with the positives. The section of the movie with Keaton Batman and Kara and Zod was great. If the movie was a lot of that and a lot less of Miller Flash being an annoying, charismaless homosexual. The idea was generally good concept. Flash becomes his own villain trying to fix shit that he can't possibly fix. The ending bit with his mom was actual emotional, maybe I am just a homosexual who misses his mom and dad but it got me a bit.Main Miller Flash during the second half was generally the closest to Barry Allen, other than that he was like some weird Thawne autist throughout the entire movie. Seeing the other universes were neat, I suppose.
I swear the first 15 minutes with the babies almost had me walk out of the theater, shit was unbearable and unfunny, I wanted to die. The movie kept doing shit that kind of lead to other questions in my mind. Like for instances, Flash can't move people a long distance without hurting them and yet they get to Wayne manor rather quickly despite the seeming time crunch with Zod looming. Miller just isn't Barry Allen, there is no way around it.
"ONE OF THE GREATEST SUPERHERO MOVIES EVER MADE" - James Gunn
Didn't read this thread but I saw this earlier today and I'm wondering why there's no thirst threads, looks like Faora all over again, and that's a good thing, surely
I think the movie would be better if it was about me having sex with her, I think
>THE FLASH
Miller's too gay. People don't want to take their kids to gay shit anymore. Not enough boomers to care about old Batman. Cgi is '90s sims level.
This is technically a win for The Rock
The Rock always wins even when he loses
Get woke
I saw the film earlier. I thought it was fun but kinda stupid. I don't expect comicbook films to be smart.
she was hot but her whole point was literally just to look pretty, help Barry get his powers back and die. I hated when other-Barry started getting interested in her because only a little earlier he said he had a gf.
Don't cheat on your gf with superpussy.
>Don't cheat on your gf with superpussy.
Unless his gf was wonderpussy, he was right.
you can't expect his human body to resist her superpheromones
Perhaps those fan screenings in April were not the brightest of ideas.
Having one or two would have been fine but WB did like 30 of them
Kinda upset something like this is our first ever Flash film
Imagine being a Green Lantern fan...
I'm one of those too, and thought the exact same thing. Like, "Oh great, now they'll bench Flash films for a decade".
Lmao at this rate it’s possible Flash might not even make it’s 200 million dollar budget back and it needs to make at least 400 million to break even to account for marketing costs.
The baby scene at the beginning made me want to walk out, Mobius didn't even make me want to do that.
I'd like to believe keeping Ezra Miller cost them money, but I don't believe in the american population enough for that.
