Justice League Projected to Lose Money for WB & DC [OUCH!!!!!]

Film might not hit 700 mil, and struggle to even reach 650 mil.

No profit movie.

reply

That seems....overly pessimistic. I can see it landing around the 750 mark thanks to the foreign markets.

reply

I was on the "it will reach 1 billion, it's Justice League after all" side. But looking at it now, it looks far and far away from it.

reply

Since as of yesterday it is at 481 MM, I've got to think it can eek out 200 MM more before the Jedi destroys it....let's settle on maybe 700 MM, although your estimate is sadly more possible than mine now.

How can WB take the JUSTICE LEAGUE and continue to miss that cash cow??

i blame it on all the coke they snork

I am thinking at least 850m.

reply

It might if it stays ok in foreign markets break 650 mil, unlikely to reach 700 mil no chance at over 800 mil

reply

Its getting closer now.

ITs getting thEre noW

How's that thinking going for ya?

+72.1%

Losing money.

reply

How many weeks did it take to make that?

reply

Can anyone say at what point it'll break even?

reply

it won't via theater release [380 mil x2 + all the money on marketing that no one knows how much it is]. They'll make the money back via their usual multiple cuts BR releases.

About a month after the sun goes supernova and all life on Earth is extinguished.


And even then it will be tight.

If one is smart, he can take a character nobody ever heard of before and make money . Like Deadpool. Who the F heard of Deadpool before last year ? Well, now thanks to a good movie we know Deadpool and people want more ( = more money)

On the other hand, if you are an idiot you can take the most famous characters (well, more than characters: these are ICONS) and lose money with them.

I know it sounds very difficult to do, and it is : but do not underestimate humanity's stupidity (especially when big money is at stakes : greed leads to hurry which leads to failure. Ah -ah ! Take that, Yoda ! This makes a lot more sense than the crap you told little Anakin, you and your "fear leads to anger" bullsh!t twisted his mind and now he is a Sith lord and you idiots are all dead, serves you right you prequel imbeciles).

Yeah I'm rambling but whatever, there is a lesson to be learned here : greedy idiots shouldn't make movies. This is the most spectacular cinematic fiasco ever. I've never seen so much incompetence at every level : and I though I had seen it all with the SW prequels....

Greed is always the culprit. And ignorance. In WB's case is both
