Is that true? Because looking at the reactions to your post, this seems to be incorrect.

The two DCEU movies grossed 1.62 billion. The two MCU movies grossed 1.65 billion so far with one movie still in theaters.

It must be over 1.75 Billion by now.

I'm sure DC/Warner is crying over $3 Million...

I don't know why anyone gives a flying *beep*. All four movies made a profit. That's all either company cares about. Honestly Dr. Strange didn't even do all that well in the states, which is showing that Superhero fatigue is starting to set in. The Fact X-Men Apocalypse didn't do all that well either confirms this. A couple years from now there will be some other obsession, it might be UFOs or flying lizards or talking turds or something.

I don't think Wonder Woman or Guardians of the Galaxy 2 will be the big hits either company wants them to be. Justice League isn't going to cross a billion and Thor isn't popular as a stand alone character.

I liked both Suicide Squad and Civil War. neither movie was anything close to great. Neither movie was even pretty good by recent superhero standards they were both GOOD, but not excellent. Both films could have either given their minor characters better motivations or cut them. Tell me what was the reason why Ant-Man was on the side he was on in Civil War? (I don't even remember if he was Team Cap or Team Iron Man). Tell me anything about Killer Croc other than he was ugly, and don't use the comic book character, just use the movie.

Marvel movies are getting worse and DC movies aren't that good. I preferred Suicide Squad over Civil War though. At least it did something original instead of just a superheros fighting each other then team together--basically the same thing that happened in the first Avengers movie.

Also I think that you will soon realize this is my signature.

"I don't know why anyone gives a flying *beep*." That's about it. Very odd that any adult would argue over whether DC or Marvel is better or obsessing over the success they have at the box office....so much so that they go to message boards of movies they didn't like to talk them down lol....f#ckin weird.

Nope. I just thinks it's very f@cking weird and pathetic. Nobody can explain the pathetic fixation for grown adults to be arguing over DC Vs Marvel......very f@cking weird. Why is there this argument or "battle" over the two? It's fictional superheroes for christsakes LOL.

I'm not going to go into the Sport metaphor, not worth it. So, if you don't like it, just ignore it, and stop the tantrums.

Tantrums? LOL....I'm just looking for somebody to explain how grown adults are arguing over which superheroes are better...or whether Marvel Or Dc perform better at the box office. Where does that trivial sh!t come from and how the f@ck does it matter to these people?/ Nobody has an answer....LOL.

And no one can answer why rotten movies make so much money.

But why would a bad movie make more than a good movie? Twilight breaking dawn part 2 made more than Iron man 2. Doesn't that make Iron Man 2 the bad movie? If IM2 is a bad movie then that means stupid people watched it.

Man, you are really stupid. Did you even read what you wrote? It has no logic. Well, all your post are like that, just writing $hit. No surprise you like and defend this movie.

Exactamundo! There is no logic behind it other than peoples opinions of movies. Some people hate Avatar and love John Carter. I am merely talking about the perception that the same money can either mean a movie is stupid or great. I find it fascinating that a person that says the glass if half full can be totally wrong.

Comic books and superheroes....this is what you are worried about? Dc vs Marvel? You really worry about which movies make more money?.... Seriously? Grown adults......hard to believe lol

But SOME day, some day...it happened for me around 11 or 12....superheroes and comic books will no longer be that important to you guys. And you'll see the ridiculousness of worrying whether Dr Strange gets better reviews than Batman...or Suicide Squad's box office is triple it's budget..or whether Marvel or DC is more popular.....or whether Spider Man can beat up Iron Man...lol. Real life stuff will start to be more important. You know like girls, and getting that first job, getting your drivers license, going out on a date etc. - and all that trivial meaningless little kid cartoon stuff will be a thing of the past. You'll see..lol.

So a year ago? And the only reason was that you discovered masturbation.

reply

It's a pretty common thing actually. People define themselves over their associations with groups. That is simply tribalism. Since we no longer have tribes, interest groups have taken that place.

-Football fans start barfights over which team is better.
-Classical music fans think of rock fans as unwashed barabrians and rock fans consider classical music fans to be stuck up snobs.
-Comic book fans argue Marvel vs. DC

It is a history as old as time and will probably never end. Let's look at the bright side. At least they are not killing each other and taking heads as souvenirs. I guess that is progress.

In case anybody wonders, I personally like:
- Burton's Batman
- Batman Begins
- X-Men I & II
- Days of future past
- Iron Man I
- Deadpool
- Guardians of the galaxy
- the first Tobey maguire Spiderman
And think all other comic book movies as varying degrees of garbage. In other words, I stand between both sides and get roughly equal amounts of hate from everybody.

So, you just don't like the facts.

Only in your imagination. SS is a laughable mess... with some entertaining moments. Definitely not the same league as "Civil War".

reply

Oh, but you are correct. There are many still talking about BO... A bad movie, despised by critics and with a mildly acceptable box office take. Pathetic.

reply

I might agree with you or not about the quality of this movie and its BO. However, what you say about the whole DCEU is spot on.

DC movies are better. Marvel movies are just safe Kid movie. Everyone knows that.

DC movies are for kiddies too. What do you think why the have an PG-13 rating?

reply

DC movies are darker. And better. AND BVS extended cut was rated R.

reply

And still horrible movies. All rotten and detested except for the butthurt fanboys.

No there not. There hated by Marvel fans. Due to jealousy. Everyone knows that.

Doctor Strange certainly wont do SS numbers at this point, but it still did well, and I'll speculate the DS was probably a more profitable film.

DS's production budget was 10 million unders SS's.

To the best of my knowledge DS did not have near the same kind of promotion, marketing, or merchandising as SS.

I honestly have to say that I'm surprised DS even broke 600 million. DS just did not have the same star power, and DS does not have the same name recocnition as many charactets in SS.
