Flop incoming


Being released on HBO Max and Theatres on the 25th Dec, Jesus wept, what an awful decision, add this to the list of DCEU bombs.

reply

I'm not sure it's such a bad decision. Lots of people are not going to party this year on christmas. They most likely will watch tv and they'll want something new.

reply

People watch xmas movies on Christmas day , not shitty DECU movies , this is going to flop

reply

It will flop either way tbh, there's no way out of this.

reply

they need to save it for summer 2021, cinema is going to blow up once all this covid is over....

reply

Not saying it's not going to flop on the big scale but a lot of people, me included, don't give a damn about christmas movies. They'll be happy to have a new potential blockbuster to watch. It'll take their mind away from the shitty christmas of this year.

Really?

Waaaay back when the first Charlie's Angels movie came out, my family watched it on Christmas day. It was pretty much the only time we've ever gone to a theater on the day, but it happens.

reply

Also, The Exorcist opened a december 26th and it was a huge success. So it's not a guaranteed fail for a movie to open during the holidays.

reply

I think you're right. Families will watch it at home of Christmas Day afternoon/evening and others will save it for a Boxing Day outing. At the very least it's a bold strategy for these odd times.

reply

Yep. I agree with you. It's a year like no other before so now is probably the best time to experiment and hope for the best.

reply

Horrible decision. Should've released theaters first then HBO Max 2 weeks later. I guess sitting on the movie is making them lose money because they gotta pay back their investors else it incurs interest on the debt. It'll probably do better than Mulan though most likely.

reply

Local theater opened a month ago. Too bad they can't seat many.

reply

Ours opened but our gov shut them back down. That gov also laid out rules about no big gatherings and how many you are allowed to be around on Thanksgiving. Then that same gov was caught throwing a party.

Champagne Socialism incoming.

I expect WW2 to be a 5/10 movie weighed down with political shit.

reply

didn't you guys say that about the first?

reply

Not me. (you guys?) I liked the first WW. The end sucked but it was the first good DCEU movie. I only really like it and Shazam.

reply

people, mostly conservatives claiming that the first WW was just SJW, feminist nonsense that would bomb made the same arguement

reply

That is a subset of what is actually a mix of conservative and non-political people who overreact to little shit. Not some emblem of conservatism. Most people don't realize how many Christians are Democrats and how many Republicans are atheists. Many. It doesn't sum up the variety but it is an example of it.

reply

so you are saying a sizeable chunk of those screaming about this being SJW, feminist nonsense were democrats? no ones arguing there arent perfect mutually exclusive categorizations of political ideology and parties. there are self described conservatives who are democrats. but its undoubtedly true the cries of forced diversity," pushing feminism on us" and "SJW agenda!" almsot exclusively comes from republicans and conservatives. seriously come back to reality.... Im not saying NONE were but a noticeable chunk? you are in la land

reply

Calm down and reread this quote from me: "a mix of conservative and non-political people"

reply

You can rent out the whole theater for a reasonable price at some places. Just need 10 or 12 friends/family to make it economical.

reply

I'm going to watch it at the theater.

reply

It's been a while since there's been a big superhero movie. The MCU is pretty much done and tired. Jenkins and Gadot knocked it out of the park with the first WW movie. This one should be even better, plus it's in the 80s.

reply

What u mean marvel is done, dr strange 2, black pather 2 , spiderman3 , gotg 3, the eternals and let's not forget xmen

reply

If it plays at my local drive-in I'll go see it otherwise I'm watching it at home.
