Suicide Squad cleared #4 on the most profitable movie this summer. Can we have a thread about the little movie that could?
Who do you want in a sequel? What were your favorite elements? What bits would you like to see translated over to the comics? Personally I'm a big fan of Dirtwitch Enchantress and Katana, and would love for both to become the standards in the comics.
Bring back Slipknot with his movie design and a more low-key and realistic abusive relationship between Harley and the Joker for the comics. For a sequel, more black ops and political stuff.
Charles Foster
I thought it needed to make a billion just to cover reshoots
Jeremiah James
More like trillion
For as much memeing as Slipknot gets he did have a really cool design in the movie, and "professional climber/hangman" is a pretty cool street level criminal niche.
Jaxon Carter
...
Jaxon Evans
I really have no idea what is going on with that outfit. It's like 70s club wear for gay men.
His movie design was top-notch and pulled off the tacticool look without being overbearing.
Hunter Fisher
Shouldn't Sausage Party be on there?
Jeremiah Ross
I think it's past the summer blockbuster season.
Bentley Reyes
>we never got to see Adam Beach beat someone up with rope And after all that training he did...
Logan Torres
>Who do you want in a sequel? A competently made film.
Hunter Ortiz
No. It didn't do that well. It beat Suicide Squad on its opening night, but that's it.
>It's only made 100 mil worldwide. ...on a 19 million dollar budget
Carter Taylor
Yeah but that's because dude slavery lmao
Mason Lee
Poor Adam Beach, he doesn't deserve the career he has.
Dominic Anderson
I want a good movie
Michael Russell
Suicide Squad 2, Diablo, Slipknot, and Baby Eastwood ride out of Mexican Hell.
Kayden Thompson
>...on a 19 million dollar budget The Number 10 film on that chart, Lights Out, made $137mil on a 4.9mil budget for Warners.
Aaron Johnson
Mexican hell is just regular hell except they put chile powder on things that don't need chili powder.
Joshua Morris

Captain America cleared #2 on the most profitable movie this summer. Can we have a thread about the little movie that could? Who do you want in a sequel? What were your favorite elements? What bits would you like to see translated over to the comics? Personally I'm a big fan of Bucky and Falcon, and would love for both to become the standards in the comics
Owen Gray
>The Numbers >clickbait
Okay, maybe a little but they a solid resource for the industry side of Hollywood.
Dominic White
And?
Nathaniel Fisher
I wouldn't mind an update to Falcon's costume. The Captain Falcon costume isn't that great and his normal costume is bland. The guns, micromissiles, and using the wings as body armor were pretty great additions too.
Connor Watson
>Where's Sausage Party on that list?! >It's a chart about the most profitable movies for the summer. The Number 10 movie on that list cost even less and made even more money than Sausage Party. >Yeah but where's Sausage Party?! Are you dumb as fuck?

So just mexico

Disniggers can't read. That's why nobody buys Marvel comics.

Caleb Reyes
Considering how more or less everything else was offensively bad it's not like it had much competition. People didn't even care that this was just as godawful, they just saw Batman's rogues and they were sold.
Ethan White
No, he needs to be the villain for a Plastic Man movie.
Gabriel Hernandez
>the most famous kite-related person in history!
nah, Granite Lady.
Isaiah Mitchell
It revived the weird crush I've had on Captain Boomerang since the '90s, so that was nice.
Gavin Perez
this was an awful summer for movies
Dylan Nelson
But I thought SS was a flop?
Wyatt Robinson
Yes...a critical flop.
Adam Johnson
From the same critics that gave Ghostbusters good reviews?
Josiah Flores
Yes it was that bad.
Brody Garcia
That just shows how bad Suicide Squad was.
Wyatt Martin
Ghostbusters was an incredible movie that failed because mysoginists were afraid of females in movies.
Suicide Squad was rapey and played to manbabies and should have failed
Eli Jones
Since the Bat-Universe was able to make this thing float, I expect reshoots on WW and this going forward.
Kevin Jackson
Or it shows that critics have bad taste in movies this year.
Ryan Davis
If they did then Suicide Squad would have been critically acclaimed.
Alexander Robinson
What's the correlation between SS being a shit movie and Ghostbusters 2016?
Jordan Richardson
Didn't see it, no intention of seeing it, and judging from its IMDB rating, along with the fact that they apparently turned the Squad into a family of lovable rogues or some shit, it may actually not be that good, but I'm glad it did well; it's difficult not to see this film as some sort of underdog, or as the "little movie that could" as OP put it. The freakout from the critics was worth it, and given their overblown reaction towards its financial success, quality of the movie aside, and the exaggeratedly low RT rating it received, it's hard not to believe that many of them don't have an axe to grind against DC. Success of the film means that people may be starting to think for themselves while putting pro critics on less of a pedestal. I'm glad others saw it for me, just for that.
Andrew Miller
This.
Jaxson Jackson
critics like marlel movies. They have objectively shit taste
Adam Myers
They seemed to love this movie, hilariously bad writing and all.
Andrew Barnes
Why do people seem to be believe that people wasting their money to see a bad movie is somehow refreshing and not just a retread of the shit we endured for years in regards to Summer Blockbuster?
Angel Gomez
>ITT: marveldrones about to enter depression stage
If Denial was calling it a flop at release, and bargaining was the meme math, then in a couple weeks maybe they'll finally accept that SS was a good movie.
Josiah Rodriguez
In fact Superman Returns, V for Vendetta, the Nolan Trilogy, all these films got positive reviews on WB's aggregate site.
David Thompson
Because critics are the root of all evil after giving a mediocre all female reboot of a franchise nobody gives a shit about anymore a pass but trashed a poorly edited, poorly scripted, poorly acted music video featuring the Joker for 7 minutes. So now this "underdog" $325 million dollar movie is sticking it to critics somehow by being frontloaded like every DCEU flick.
Isaac Price
>the little movie that could >likely cost around 250 million before marketing given they reshot around 25% of the movie >implying this even means anything when this summer has been full of high profile flops lol
James Garcia
If it puts an end to the 3 years plus of Snyder defense thread, I'll even agree that it's a STELLAR MOVIE 10/10.
Anything to stop the flow of bitch tears and Goyer-rationalization.
Liam Baker
Time for Justice League to play out like a music video and redesign the heroes so they can market it to the Hot Topic crowd.
Ian Wright
Old ass films. People will be bringing up the Nolan Trilogy twenty years from now, even though expectations towards cape movies were very different, and loyalty towards the MCU brand non-existent.
Jeremiah Harris
>Suicide Squad cleared #4 on the most profitable movie this summer. NO IT'S STILL A FLOP
STOP TROGGERING ME
Adrian Williams
>and loyalty towards the MCU brand non-existent. Yeah just look at Days of Future Past and Deadpool. Maybe WB just need to stop making shit movies.
Luke Morris
I thought he would get one bit of action before his death.
Lucas Rivera
There were a couple of articles saying that Suicide Squad negated the "progress" of Ghostbusters. It's all very weird.
Jason Peterson
>Old ass films.
Rises came out the same year as The Avengers, 2012.
What are you, 12?
Josiah Moore
>literally half of some talking animal movie >DCucks will call this a win
Adrian Allen
What a time we live in.
Zachary Howard
>likely cost around 250 million before marketing given they reshot around 25% of the movie
friendly reminder that Guardians of the Galaxy outright lied about their budget to make it seem more successful, and probably came in at far more than reported.
Friendly reminder that Civil War reportedly cost $250 million before marking, and considering Disney has a proven track record of lying probably came in at far more.
Friendly reminder that making up numbers and tacking them onto the budget doesn't change reality, and the reality was that Suicide Squad was a huge hit.
Brody Price
>No one really cares >I-I'll be butt-flustered for them, y-yeah!
Camden Lewis
Friendly reminder that this is a stale copypasta
Dominic Jackson
I was gonna argue but you're right. It isn't that good.
Angel Harris
>and the reality was that Suicide Squad was a huge hit. Must be nice being delusional
Ayden Barnes
You would think e sjws would be praising it. Its an mostly female team lead by a strong independent black women where the racist bogan gets the complete short end of the stick at the end.
Eli Nguyen
Not just Suicide Squad
Under the Critics everything released this summer not Ghostbusters or Civil War was awful.
Thomas Turner
t-this wasnt supposed to happen
DELETE THIS
Charles Phillips
>Under the Critics everything released this summer not Ghostbusters or Civil War was awful. Finding Dory, Sausage Party, Kubo, Lights Out, etc. were all well received.
Blake Nguyen
Fox isn't seen as the rival sports team, like DC is, or associated with the like of Snyder. Say what you will about his excesses but they hate that guy to a seemingly personal degree.
Alexander Adams
They dont have bad taste to have problems with suicide squad it was a heavily flawed film it is fun to watch in spite of that.
Connor Hill
>fun to watch in spite of that. Only if you're retarded
Noah Scott
Apologize!
Easton Wright
But they gave it average reviews.
Nathan Gomez
see
Bentley Turner
So was both the new Mel Gibson movies, the new Star Trek and Don't Breathe, but DCucks only care about their capekino meme.
>Guardians of the Galaxy >333 Million domestic after 25 weeks >773 Million worldwide after 25 weeks >Budget: Reported at $170, later revealed to be $232
>Domestic Gross at 4 weeks: $284 million >Chinese box office: $96 million >Worldwide box office without China: $667 million >Mexican box office: $19 million >Suicide Squad >301 Million domestic after 4.9 weeks >679 Million worldwide after 4.9 weeks >Budget: $175 million
>Domestic Gross at 4 weeks: $287 million >Did not open in China, the second-largest move market in the world >Due to a contract conflict, Suicide Squad had distribution issues in Mexico, yet made $26 million dollars there >Opens in Japan tomorrow, projected to add $10 million
reminder that Guardians is literally only successful because Marvel panders to China.
Daniel Price
>he isn't black
YOU HAD ONE JOB
David Campbell
>facts I don't like >b...better call it copypasta! That immediately makes it untrue!
the numbers are right here, cuckboi Where are your numbers?
Jackson Phillips
Totally not a samefag DCuck
Parker Reyes
>Guardians of the Galaxy > 4,080 theaters
>Suicide Squad >4,255 theaters
Lucas Mitchell
>skwad has 32 million domestic to go to beat Guardians, and Guardians reached those numbers in 20 weeks more than Skwad
>Skwad will at minimum make 700 million at the end, meaning that 23 million of Guardians' 96 million of chink money goes towards tying with SS
A movie with six years of marketing by the world's biggest media conglomerate was outpaced by a movie about Captain Boomerang and Harley Quinn's ass that the entire media got on their hands and knees and begged people around the clock for over a year not to go see.
Not bad for the "Donald Trump of movies"
Jose Campbell
N-no one cares! That's why there were so many butthurt MCUcks posting meme math!
Right. Keep telling yourself that.
Brayden Butler
>the entire media got on their hands and knees and begged people around the clock for over a year not to go see. >mfw they did just that, without any shame and they are downplaying how much of a success SS is even now.
Matthew Morgan
>67% drop second week This triggers the DCCuck
Dominic Nelson
So skwad was front-loaded and made as much because DC floaded it into all markets on releash while Guardians had strong legs and actually exceeded expectations and skwad will still not beat it domestically or internationally at this point. Sounds about right.
>outpaced by a movie about Captain Boomerang and Harley Quinn's ass You know this doesn't work when the adverts highlighted Joker and Batman's cameos not anything you described meanwhile didn't see Iron Man or Cap in Guardians.
So now Suicide Squad will share the san=me mantle as Bayformers, be considered flavor of the month trash and be instantly forgotten as shit.
Asher Scott
>Civil War: 59.3% drop second week >Meanwhile Ghostbusters had a 53% drop
You do understand that the reason all superhero movies have massive drops their second week due to their built-in audiences all going the first week, right? This has been true since Batman '89.
Movies that a lot of people go see in their first week show drops for the second week because everybody has already seen them.
Alexander Bennett
Does BvS count as summer since it was released in March?
Matthew Reyes
>B-b-b-but Marvel
Hook line and sinker
Christian Peterson
Except those are both normal drops DCuck. Getting over 60% following week isn't normal not even Bayformers get those kinds of drops hence why people made about deal about the percentage drop of both. >Movies that a lot of people go see in their first week show drops for the second week because everybody has already seen them. And at most they drop in 50 percentile, if the movie was poorly received they drop even more due to bad word of the mouth.
