Unfriendly reminder that the third film in the MCU made less than the third film in the DCEU and cost more too make too boot.
Iron Man 2
Budget $200 million[2][3][4]
Box office $623.9 million[3]
Suicide Squad
Budget $175 million[2]
Box office $681.3 million[3]
Holy shit
Marlel BTFO
Suicide squad sucked fucking giant cock
So did Iron Man 2
...
Nah it was just kind of bad
I liked it.
Iron man in the cultural mindset was a C list character at a time when superhero movies weren't that big.
Sucide Squad was half Batman stuff, a A list character and still managed to fuck it up. Plus marketing probaly put it way over Iron Man 2
>one movie is bad and I say it's bad
>other movie is bad but I like it so it's good
>was half Batman stuff
Are you fucking retarded?
Batman had less than 4 minutes of screentime.
How was Iron Man 2 200mil?
I enjoyed Iron Man 2 a lot.
I don't get the hate, honestly.
Much better than the trash that was IM3.
I probably enjoyed it more than the first even.
I'm glad SS did well and audiences seemed to have enjoyed it.
Maybe we will finally see the critics's burgeoning hold on public opinion weaken.
Find one ad without Harley Quinn or the Joker.
Was is the Joker
What is Harley Quinn.
Dead shot
Etc
So you're saying Marvel was really retarded for giving a C lister this much of a production budget? Come on then guys explain to me how Suicide Squad is a flop but Iron Man 2 isn't
>Harley Quinn or the Joker.
>Was is the Joker
>What is Harley Quinn.
>Dead shot
Those characters are not the character called "Batman".
including marketing, that's accurate
no matter where you run, inflation will never be a meme
inflation owns you, user
This isn't including Marketing though
This says nothing about SS flopping though?
Lot of autism for a tangential point, my man.
>Reminder that Iron Man3 made $1,215,439,994
>Reminder that Civil War made $1,152,721,930
>Reminder that no MCU movie without Iron Man has ever made over 800mil
>Reminder that The rest of the MCU is holding Iron Man back
>I'm too young to remember the Writers Guild strike
>that invalidates hard numbers
laffing@u
Always an excuse.
No it really really didn't.
Being more of the same doesn't make it bad.
Revenge of the Fallen was also hit by the Writer's Guild Strike
All the Iron Man movies have been pure shit.
>Being more of the same
>implying Iron Man 2 had anything even close to the same level as IM1
Favreau got cucked by big daddy Disney out of doing Demon in A Bottle.
Yes, it really really did
That makes it a missed opportunity not a bad film on its own.
>not a bad film on its own.
Watch the fucking movie. It's bad.
They butchered the villain so bad that Rourke disowned is and swore to never work with Marvel again.
They didn't butcher anything he is still a perfectly rounded and validly motivated villain with fun tics and characteristics.
ok kiddo
...
Iron man 2 was a shit movie.
>Budget $175 million[2]
Its $325 million with marketing and reshoots added. Of course DCucks will never admit this yet they're the first to bring up Guardians exceeding its budget.
>Its $325 million
Even if it was, it made over twice that. There's no meem math in the world that could say it didn't make money.
At least it had good quips
Not "scent of death"-tier lines
This is like those articles that say BvS was the best selling movie of that particular week in that particular month when the lunar cycle was just passing into its waning phase.
>The Shitcide Shit budget was twice as much as the reported budget!
>Iron Man 2's budget is exactly what Marvel said it was though lol.
No this is just hard numbers
>Even if it was, it made over twice that.
You do realize foreign gross only make up a fraction of the actual income right?
Because WB would never lie about the budget of its movie right?
>Its $325 million with marketing and reshoots added.
And you think Iron man 2 had free marketing?
He's not saying that. He's saying you're a fool for believing Marvels budgets are what they report them as
;
Iron Man 2 (2010) $623,561,331 worldwide, $312,433,331 domestic, $128,122,480 domestic opening weekend;
Suicide Squad (2016) $678,697,853 worldwide, $303,197,853 domestic, $133,682,248 domestic opening weekend
Looks right, right? Wrong.
CPI inflation 2008-2016 11.8% ($1 in 2008 is equivalent to $1.12 in 2016)
CPI inflation 2010-2016 10.4% ($1 in 2010 is equivalent to $1.10 in 2016)
Therefore accounting for basic consumer price inflation:
Iron Man 2 (2010, adjusted to 2016 CPI) $685,917,464 worldwide, $343,676,664 domestic, $140,934,728 domestic opening weekend
NATO (National Association of Theater Owners) record of average ticket prices tells a different story; ticket prices have risen above consumer inflation.
In 2008 the national average was $7.18, in 2010 it was $7.89, in 2016 (Q1 $8.58, Q2 $8.73, Q3 not yet available) it's $8.66 so far as we know.
Therefore domestic admissions averaged:
Iron Man 2: 39,598,648 (16,238,591 opening weekend)
Suicide Squad: 35,011,299 (15,436,749 opening weekend)
At this stage most movies won't make more than 5% of their existing gross on top of what they already have; so Suicide Squad should end around $318,357,746 - nowhere near the actual value of the 2008 or 2010 Iron Man movies, but symbolically higher, if you don't know what inflation is. A moral victory for people who like murderous clown movies, if you will.
On top of this:
If we gave Iron Man 2 the same $8.66 ticket price as Suicide Squad, they would finish domestically on $384,277,402 and $342,924,292 respectively; if Q3 has been higher, obviously the SS audience figures would be lower.
>DCucks
>ever winning
>B-b-b-b-but MARVEL
Everytime
It's a thread directly comparing the films you fucking moron
>guy talks about Batman stuff
>other guy thinks this means Batman the character
These characters are Batman characters dumb-dumb.
> pre supers-hype
> less tickets
You don't say?
Bayformers was never good. Quit deluding yourself.
>> pre supers-hype
>2010
end thyself
This is the saddest thread I've seen in awhile.
Why is it that everytime a DC movie is released, Sup Forums spends MONTHS defending these movies with the dumbest reasoning?
>"w-well it made a lot of money so it's good"
>"w-well at least it's better than marvel"
You can like a movie without everybody conforming to your opinion on it.
>You can like a movie without everybody conforming to your opinion on it.
Ssh, Sup Forums doesn't know that.
>Suicide Squad is sitting at $303 million domestically.
>BVS adjusted for inflation is $330 million.
>Iron Man 3 domestic total with inflation is at $340 million.
>Before Avengers, Marvel was still a baby movie studio and didn't have all those overseas markets open to them, but a major Studio like WB would.
BTFO Dcucks!
>Before Avengers
but DC hasn't done JL yet
Who cares, Iron Man 2 is a masterpiece comprared to anything DCEU
...
You're missing the point. Marvel needed the success of The Avengers and Disney to make them a major force in the entertainment business. WB has been a major studio for years now. Marvel only makes comic book movies, while WB doesn't need Batman, Superman, or even the Justice League to make money.
Friendly reminder that Guradians, the movie SS ripped off, made more.
But the first film was a massive box office and critical success.
>One of the absolute worst MCU movies is as bad as the least bad DCEU movie so far
Congratulations, I guess.
>least bad DCEU movie so far
>Congratulations, I guess.
shit taste
BvS>MoS>SS
All three are good though.
Hey, our favourite company's newest movie is total shit, but look how much money it made!!!!1!
>people have taste
Why are you comparing a movie that was released when the superhero boom was just starting to one that was released now?
>superhero boom was just starting
>2010
retard alert
>TDK
>SM2
>X2
>Iron Man
>Batman
>Superman
Those are more iconic than anything now, an were already out when IM2 came out.
nothing wrong with that image, everyone and their grandmother know that BvS is the turd of the century
before release
>it will make trillions
>it will have 300% rt score
>it will win oscars
after release
>rt doesn't matter, let's make a petition to close it
>800m on a 400m budget is still good, trust me ,my uncle works in hollywood
It still doesn't compare to how things are now. Marvel was releasing a movie per year, now they've cranked it up to 2-3 with TV shows all over the place.
>400m budget
fucking lol
>implying 1.jpg wasn't a false flag
Even if 1.jpg was a falseflag, all the dc retards that flocked in his threads weren't
>Including marketing.
LMAO Marvelfags going full meme accounting today.
>implying that the new star wars isn't waaay better than BvS
That was the implication, yes.
Which was worse?
Jonah Hex (2010): Budget $47 million, Box Office $10.9m RT 12%
vs
Punisher War Zone (2008): Budget $35 million, Box Office $10.1m RT 27%
Also, it's worth mentioning that WB abandoned two attempts to start a wider franchise universe with Superman Returns and Green Lantern.
...
complain loudly to the mods, maybe we will get plush new digs like /qst/.
We won't be as salty tho.
