WB's marketing team can turn shit into gold.


Not one money-loser last year. Not one. They are tapped into the cultural zeitgeist BIG TIME.

I have full confidence this will be another hit...especially with it's responsible 80 million budget.

Disney makes better quality films but WHAT the HELL is going on there in Burbank? Take Marvel away and they are having one of the worst, most expensive losing streaks in Hollywood history. They need to poach WBs marketing team.

Only $80M? Wow, Warner Bros. is finally putting a cap on their superhero movies' budgets.

reply

Well...Wonder Woman's budget was 149 million so that one wasn't out of control either.

But will SHAZAM! outpace Wonder Woman and or Aquaman? Will Shazam! need to be a BIG hit to maintain the upward trajectory of WB and will the performance of Shazam impact the overall comic book to movie universe of WB?

Are these all stand alone movies with no hint of crossover and how will WB get to a team up movie or is that off the table?

Birds of Prey
Blackhawks
Joker
WW84
DC Super Pets
The Batman
Suicide Squad

Looks like the Financial Entertainment Model is smaller, stand-alone and targeted towards two markets, some adult and mostly young adults and kids.

If every one of their standalones hit it outta the park financially like they have been lately it doesn't matter.

Are you still Uber-Confident that WB is on the right Marketing path given the Monster-Verse position on the financial success ladder? Is the trajectory for the Monster-Verse up or down for either WB and Legendary?

reply

actually thought the marketing was kind of weak compared to the movie. it was much better than I expected from the trailer.

Are you sure about that? WB's marketing hasn't done squat in 2019.
