Cool I guess. Was expecting it to bottom out at 450, WB should be happy

jared leto was born to play jesus christ

money is more important than the quality of the film, yes it keeps the movies coming out and make the actors more rich, but what shit legacy DC is letting behind, and the fanboys are eating this shit like hamburgers, disgusting

and it needed 1 billion just to break even

what a travesty

He's going to multiply it, user. Believe.

>says the MCUck who's movies pander to kiddy shit and nu-males and stupid families will bite it up because "kid-friendly" and GEEK-OUT

>shitskin aquaman that saves white people
I can't stop laughing
you actual numales are adorable

>Makes money
>3 weeks later and there's barely any discussion about it

Sounds like they really have gone full Marvel

What's up with Jared Leto, he's similar to Patrick Bateman.

You tried

Saw it last week, because there was nothing else on worth watching.

I'll skip going into detail on what an ungodly stillborn mess the film is, but the theatre was PACKED. I have never seen a showing more full in that particular cinema. Ever. They must have been sold to capacity, I didn't see a single unoccupied seat.

People are lapping this steaming excrement up in their droves, so expect this to set the tone for all future WB/DC releases.

it needed 4 billion to break even you fucking WB shill

You're a numale and authenticity to this board upsets you. You can't prove me wrong because you're an outsider

It needs to gross 1.6 Billion to break even senpai

Why does the break even point raise higher every day?

You're being memed on. It needs $550-600 million to be heading into profit, and it seems like it'll exceed that. Probably going to finish at $800 million worldwide.

What are you on bro?

I hate Whedon so fucking much.

Its like he actively sits there thinking of ways to appeal to feminists...then he writes fucking Black Widow like an incompetent piece of eye candy. Hilarious.

Its a joke.

In practice, it's likely already made a profit.

>$800m

it's going to peter out at around $650m, it only has a few markets left to open in, one being Japan and Ghostbusters just opened there this weekend to $4.5m.

Unless they get a miracle China release it's staying under $700m

I almost wish this were Reddit so I could upvote you.

This is pretty much my whole beef with the MCU fluff. It's all tongue-in-cheek, quip-heavy eye candy. The characters' motivations seem to bend to plot rather than the other way around, and it's just hard to take seriously overall. I'm not saying it has to be some grimdark nonsense for the sake of being grimdark, but don't skirt the edge of farce, either.

Lastly, they want everything to be "big". This results in too many characters, too many distractions, too many villains. You can't focus on one protagonist and care what happens to them, because there's so much other shit going on. And even if you could, you never really empathize with them because they never seem to be in a "real", relatable danger. They're not trying to stop a runaway train full of passengers or beat the clock to save their girlfriend from a room full of explosives...nope, they're fighting a faceless army of mechanized worms or robots. You never once fear for their safety--instead, you're thinking "I wonder how long that took to render?"

tldr: Watching MCU flicks is like watching someone's gameplay video on YouTube. Kinda entertaining in the moment, but you forget about it the second you move onto the next video.

all that plus the marketing budget

>authenticity to this board
>muh seekrit club
oh, sweet summer child...

>people who act like they aren't bothered by criticism

Figures he would be friends with her.

Let us know when it hits $800 million and actually turns a profit.

This would've made over $700M by now if it was showing in China.

It's because of Katana's mask and Enchantress, confirmed by Chinese people.

But they also said that WB is doing things to get SS released there.

I like this meme

lol
even star wars the force awakens didn't break even.

Good, only another 200 million before it breaks even

>not $1 gorillion
Step up senpai.

The first 30 minutes or so of that film was a mess. There's so many out of place scenes that they could have removed. But I guess they couldn't because they had them in the trailers and couldn't remove them. It got alright somewhere after the second act. Also Enchantress' brother was completely pointless, and the scene where Enchantress leaves the bedroom was incredibly confusing and made no sense. She activates her brother and could escape but doesn't and suddenly they have a bomb with Rick Flag and then she escapes. The editing was so confusing, the characters kept appearing in all over the globe, in one scene they're in the prison and suddenly in the next scene they're in a casino and it's not even a flashback. What a mess.

>even more edits

WB are terrific

has he done a cover os "Kiss Me Son Of God" yet?

You gotta do what you gotta do.

can you imagine them releasing a 10 disc collector's edition box set with all the diferrent versions?

Ayer's original cut
Pre test screening cuts
Post tests screening cuts
China cut
Meet the Joker extended edition

>China cut
>Katana with a Chinese mask
>Enchantess is an alien

>Mfw it doesn't gross more than the Secret Life of Pets

You never know until the end, brother.

Jesus Leto is so attractive.

If this opened in China it would be close to 700mil by now. Shame really

And it could've made more if it were actually a competently made action blockbuster.
The fact that these movies actually make money despite being completely terrible should be the biggest indicator that someone at WB. is doing their job wrong.

And that the marketing team needs a raise. They must be the only people at B ho aren't incompetent

Half the scenes from the trailers dissappeared in the theatrical cut.

They're absolutely great at marketing and their trailers are god-tier but shit, you can't leave the actual editing to the same company that did your trailer. You just know they're gonna butcher it.

Speaking of which, test audiences: we read tweets of people who saw the original cut back in May and it was completely different. So the changes must've been made in just three months more or less.

Skwad is 2hXc for the Chinese

>Disney makes a massive financial and critical success
>Yeah, but the movie was shit so who cares if it made money, probably all shills anyways

Then.

>Warners makes a critical failure but financial success
>SEE DCEU bros! Prayer circle worked! Obviously those bully critics couldn't brain washed our smart audience.

>i've got two personalities.png

OP didn't mention Disney or Marvel

>this is a 65yo man
>i'm 28, fat, bald & ugly and still virgin
pls God end my misery

OP made a 'take that haters it made money' thread, don't pretend it's not a Marvel v DC bait thread. Where the fuck do you think we are?

You know with all the merchandise deals and product placement Suicide Squad is already turning a profit right? Because Merchandise is where the real money is.

Have you ever applied Sup Forums math to the MCU films? I think half of them actually lost money and those that did make profit only barely cover the losses of the other films.

This is the most beautiful man I've ever seen, I feel inadequate.
Fuck, he was even attractive with all that makeup. How.

Holy shit son, I didn't even think about the MCU.

I've given up hope that normies will ever see capeshit for the trash it is. It's a fad that should've been stale 10 years ago and they keep eating it up. I can't even blame (((Hollywood))) for producing nothing but capeshit these days. It's a license to print money.

You could literally film me taking a shit and if it had some comic book ip as the title it'd make 150 million at least.

And?

If he plays Jesus, then the Holy Trinity of dedicated actors (Willem, Bale) who have also played him is complete

You can literally tack this on to any statement ever.

It was reply to OP, agree with or disagree with it. Other than that the only thing I have to say to you is

And?

No matter what DCEU puts out, Nu-male faggots like pic related are going to criticize the movie for having adult themes and not being kid friendly like Marvel

Yes but despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 6.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 3.5%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.

Compared to its closing price of one year ago, TIME WARNER CABLE INC's share price has jumped by 26.77%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Looking ahead, the stock's sharp rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.
Net operating cash flow has remained constant at $1,698.00 million with no significant change when compared to the same quarter last year. This quarter, TIME WARNER CABLE INC's cash flow growth rate has remained relatively unchanged and is slightly below the industry average.

>forgetting about the tip

They're looking at about 4.8 billion or it's a bust.

>No, we didn't get name dropped again.

It underperformed, considering it has Batman and Joker in it.

Also the Transformers movies get even shittier reviews and Rotten Tomatoes scores and yet they make make a billion each.

WB can't be pleased with this box office result, but they've done all the changes they could have done except getting rid of Kevin Tsujihara already after the failure of BvS so all they can do now is pray the rest of capeshit by some miracle are better received and make more cash.

>it's another Hollywod Accounting thread

In all seriousness though, it still hasn't made back its budget
Note that earning a profit from the film itself is not the only metric by which studios deem a project a financial success

So basically everything is a failure.

NICE TA MEECHA
MUCH QUIRK
MUCH WACK

>It's a memethod actor

DROPPED

>and yet they make make a billion each.

Because of China. And just to fact check your post. Only Dark of the moon and Age of Extinction made over a billion and Suicide Squad has made more domestically than AoE

Transformers has a higher RT score as did Dark of the Moon

This is why WB is really trying to get SS in China. Because they don't give a fuck about quality

No but the jews are good hiding their shekels.

Only the ones that have contracts loaded with net profit clauses

>In all seriousness though, it still hasn't made back its budget

Neither did more than half of the MCU films. It's all about merchandise. Sup Forums needs to stop looking at these as just movie franchises and more of the brands that they are

It's exactly the worst position the movies might be in.

They are not making the shit ton of money the studio expected, but they are still making some money

So Warner won't pull the plug, but they will also try to "improve" every movie, making them even shittier.

That's what I said
These franchises are long term investments
Man of Steel barely made more than Superman Returns when you look at domestic and adjust for inflation, yet WB were comfortable with rebooting their franchise with the former while being disappointed with the latter because they wanted to compete with Marvel and reintroduce Batman

But both films were disappointing for them

They rebooted the franchise with MoS because Superman Returns didn't make the money they wanted (Bryan Singer was going to make a sequel), and they made BvS instead of MoS 2 because it didn't make the money they wanted

Batman cereal is far superior btw.

>Why yes I do have a lifetime subscription to blacked.com

>t. cuck that eats Superman cereal's cock while Batman cereal is pounding his girlfriend's asshole into ground beef.

Sad.

I hate both DCucks and Marvelfags but Marvelfags are the most annoying so far.You guys are literal manchildren.

See, even his putdown fantasies involve interracial cuckoldry.

Mainly they tried to make 2016 suck as much as they could just because everyone forgot about Civil War in like 2 weeks. They made it their lifes mission to make people hate every DC movie.

If SS had China it'd be even better than Deadpool. Deal with it drones, DC isn't going away, the same 45% female audience for SS is getting their panties moist for Wonder Woman, the DC train has no brakes.

It wasn't even that bad it got a B+ cinemascore, and audience ratings that were good, mainly Marvel fans just screamed at the top of their lungs and along with the critics being in the tank for Disney made it seem like it was way worse than it actually was.

I watched this on Thursday finally and yes it wasn't perfect but it was pretty awesome.

>It wasn't even that bad it got a B+ cinemascore

I don't think any movie has ever gotten a score lower than B-
Audiences are just that dumb in rating movies, it's basically
>Great: A
>Bad: B

I don't know if it's Ben Hur or Kubo that's got an A but it's flopping big time.

I think it's Ben Hur.

>War Dogs has a B

Hey, that's Bateman, isn't it?

Why is everyone here so obsessed with big corporations breaking even/making profit on their movies?

To valid themselves for what corporation they aligned themselves with.

It's really sad

I only care because they are keep doing those shit movies if they turn in profit

To laugh at the other side

This. It's pathetic how grown men pick sides in MOVIES. This isn't a war, or even a sports event. Instead of watching movies made by both companies, these guys must validate themselves by picking a side nobody involved with the making of any of these movies even care.
Do you honestly think the more people that watch DC stuff means there's less people watching Marvel movies? If anything, if DC makes such shitty superhero movies people might even get turned off from watching Marvel stuff.
Is your existence so worthless you need to pick a meaningless side on which company makes a movie to make yourselves feel better?
Fucking sports team mentality.

DC > Marvel

>nobody involved with the making of any of these movies even care.

Oh God this. Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner are in a movie together and Henry Caville and Scarlet Johansson are together selling us phones. None of the actors even care

I just pick sides because it's fun.

>there's no net
what the hell are they talking about?
why didn't scott derrickson get his shekels? 150mil minus 19mil budget makes 131mil why didn't he get 5% of that? what the hell did the jews do to jew him out of his money?

Big studios add padding to the costs by paying companies they own. See the Distribution Fee in pic related

what's the source for all your pictures? i want to know more about hollywoods shady accounting now...

To be fair, this is probably how critically acclaimed films that don't make anywhere near its budget back get funded.
