During its opening weekend, it grossed an underwhelming $55 million at the domestic box office. In its second weekend, that dropped 72% to a mere $15.3 million, with some pundits already predicting this will be a box office bomb.
According to Luiz Fernando, the film is estimated to earn $280-310 million globally in its theatrical run. When pitted against The Flash’s $200-220 million production budget, $150 million in marketing, and the fact that studios don’t take all of their box office haul, the movie may lose $200 million for Warner Bros.
Fernando believes they may have lost less money by releasing it on Max or not releasing it at all.
please let this be the one that kills capeshit movies again, i pray to a silent, unheeding god
I think Spiderverse movies show that capeshit still has juice
Animated capeshit for sure.
that's it that's the future an animated multiverse movie but instead of being a movie you see in the cinema we produce the movie in the form of cheap printed magazines and ship all the movies out in special shops for them
Spiderverse and Guardians 3 as opposed to Ant Man and Flash show that the audience's at least want their capeshit to be good. That's their bare minimum now.
I don't think capeshit movies will die until Marvel movies start tanking this bad. DC movies are generally expected not to be good (and I say this as a DC Comics fan), and this one has been in development hell since 2017.
Marvel has had critical failures and movies that didn't meet box office expectations, but not like this
Right, that's what I mean by "this bad". Like, Morbius and Eternals are a stumble, this is a pratfall.
Morbius wasn't marvel though it was Sony using a marvel character wasn't it
