Oh my...just 68 million worldwide opening


...on a 200 million dollar budget.

Looking to be the biggest money-loser in Pixar's 26 year history.

Seems like Bob Iger bowed out right when he knew Disney was about to crash into the rocks.

Poor Bob Chapek has a rough year ahead to say the least.

It’s called coronavirus you clown

Really?

It didn't seem to affect the holdover movies like The Invisible Man which had an excellent(for a horror film) 46% decline.

reply

That came out before Onward and you will see the effect going forward.

reply

True. But that's what happens when the pandemic struck upon its release.

I'm surprised that the Sonic the Hedgehog movie and even Birds of Prey survived those odds the way they did.

reply

Because they are more interesting movies... not necessarily better, just more interesting.

reply

You supposed that could be another factor besides the coronavirus scare?

reply

This film was tracking to underperform, but the virus has been a blessing for some of these bombs. Now they can just use the virus as an excuse, plus digital views don’t count against anything either.

I really think you underestimate the box-office draw of the DCEU. There is nothing to indicate that JL will not be the box-office smash that BvS, Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman were. Also, early indications are that it will also be more favorably received by critics than B'S and SS.

No way that this doesn't make major bank. I will be shocked if JL doesn't outgross TR(especially domestically).

^^^^

LOLOLOL no need to list the half dozen fails here.....

although I must admit, one might on the surface think the biggest fail here is Queen's Proclamations that JL Will easily top Thor 3's(and course JL got brutally destroyed by Thor 3 in every way)

Hell one may even think Queens Epic fail on Guaranteeing "JL will make Major Bank" is the biggest fail when we now Know JL Not ONLY did NOT Make Major bank, But Instead LOST WB 60 M+...

but for Me, The biggest fail here is Queen's Hilariously Claims of "The DCEU's drawing Power"

I just find that to be an unimaginably Horrific fail Looking back now after the DCEU is dead,Most of the movies have been REBOOTED and actors recast and the ONLY DC films that are having any success are films that have no ties to The DCEU or very little, and The Films that were directly marketed and sold as "The DCEU" flopped,under-performed and are on a Drastic down hill collapses in Box office finishing With The "DCEU's" Shazam and BOPs Pathetic New LOWS in box office for The DCEU

lol
