>One box office pundit summed up the reaction to Supes' international take:

>"For Superman to be one of the biggest summer blockbusters — not to mention reset an entire universe — the film needed to pack more punch in its debut. Obviously, the following weeks will tell the true box office tale, but this has to be viewed as a slightly underwhelming start for DC and WB"

>slightly underwhelming start for DC and WB"
>$500 mln box office on $425 mln combined budget
>slightly

That's a flop

fake news

>>212825602 (OP)
>inflation adjusted global gross of MoS was $922 million
Warner Brothers threw away billions with the most destructive "reboot" in history, lol.

>>212825602 (OP)
>slightly underwhelming
It’s not even gonna make its budget back kek

>>212825602 (OP)
>could
>Never mind the fact the Lanrerns show is coming out and Supergirl is getting marketing
Oh yeah, guys, it's all being canceled.

>>212825602 (OP)
>they are following this with Supergirl
Oh boy

>>212825602 (OP)
Fucking cope harder

>>212825602 (OP)
The movie is a big theraphy session for American liberals for losing the election. The rest of the world don't get the context

>>212825602 (OP)
The DCEU.
Snyder killed the brand.

>>212825602 (OP)
>g g guys it's making as much as flops

Lmao

>>212829926
Explain to me how a movie can be tied for the second biggest Monday of the
year, have the biggest Tuesday of the year and the biggest Wednesday of the year and be a flop?

>>212825676
>>212827481
I like how it’s “slightly underwhelming” when the media is behind it, but if people were rooting against it the headline would be “massive flop”

>>212825713
>>212829681

>>212830224
Oh no like someone can’t made a minor mistake and correct it just a little later oh no

>>212830224
Fake and gay

>>212830133
Because it's had massive hype and the creative vision is based off of yearslong whining from an extremely loud group about how "people want to see superman as x and y". And yet you're not massively outperforming the movie you claim has everything wrong about Superman.

>>212830393
Here's a screenshot from the website. Same numbers.

>>212829681
Double the budget for marketing.
Half the box office for the theaters take.
Yikes

>>212830393
ai is always right, must be true

>>212830750
Here's another.

>>212830805
Never seen those bullshit numbers on Box Office Mojo

>>212829926
>Superman, an A lister, is only just now passing Black Adam, a C lister's movie earnings
hmmm

>>212825676
>$425 mln combined budget
Maybe they should stop making such expensive movies. Then they would get those profits.
Why they made
$500 mln box office and it's still even? They still doing money laundering on the movie which it will reboot their cinematic universe ?

>>212827453
Why did they make Shazam 2 if the first one made only 300 mil?

>>212825676
I bet that when it makes 600m you fags are gonna start crying for a 1b.
Fucking retarded jeets...

>>212831229
humiliation ritual for Levi

>>212828566
Even better, Clayface. Who the fuck is asking for a Clayface movie?

>>212831410
Gunn said the writing script is so good he decided to green light the movie, and put it in the dcu. He is now also rewriting the script to make it better. cope harder

>>212827453
>the suicide squad is the second lowest grossing DC film
>throw the entire of the universe to give the second worst movie's director the rights to everything
I won't understand this, ever.
What could've been if they just gave 6 to 12 more months to Snyder so they just finished up Justice League.

>>212830224
Damn wb is panicking kek

>>212831797
>>the suicide squad is the second lowest grossing DC film
I mean I agree with you in general, but that was during Covid and released on HBO at the same time, of course it was going to do shit numbers.

>>212825676
It's not even going to make $500 million globally. I've ran the numbers. I have this at $315 million domestically, and $175 million internationallly.

>>212825602 (OP)
People far overestimate the importance of international markets. It's good for big numbers, but those big numbers don't translate to nearly as much of a profit as most think.

>>212830851
they came from (((wikipedia)))

We're going to watch it for the third time just to support this antisemitic superman

>>212832162
Spider-man made 2 billions during covid

>>212831229
I think Shazam 1 came out when the world was in lockdown

>oy its a fucking flop aahhhg ughh its a flop okay just because it is how dare they talk about israel and palestine gevalt this is a travesty

Holy shit it's just a fucking Superman movie. There's no reason for all of these threads. Why is this board so fixated on capeslop?

>>212834161
>There's no reason for all of these threads. Why is this board so fixated on capeslop?
It's because retards turned this into some console war shit of Snyder vs Gunn. I honestly think half the people who went to see this movie only did so to "own" Snyder

it's pretty clearly been a success for the brand

>>212827453
Snyder makes MOVIES, which is why we watch cinema. Nerds want capeshit comicslop so of course it failed

>>212825676
>$500 mln box office on $425 mln combined budget
> WSJ confirmed a $225 million budget.
Ahem. anon it is already in the pink making profit! Also CornSweat only got $750k as did Brosnahan (arguable the real star of the show!) while Gunn got $15 million, that shows that Gunn knows how to control a budget!

>>212827453
Yes, we are in a culture war; a psychological war; a war of ideas; a magical war.

Creative thoughts are pieces of the transcendental living within the mind of the dreamer. To bring these ideas to film means to manifest those living ideas (egregores) into our realm and spreading that life into the minds of others.

Snyder and Terrio sought to elevate and resonate, to remind the world of the higher ideals that are worth fighting for. Why did Snyder go so dark? Because the heroes were literally going to battle against the forces of evil. Our heroes mourn at the fragility of life and bleed so that beauty can persist another day.

Gunn's glib sociopathy seeks to descend and humiliate. Tearing down our idols and pursuing a relentless campaign of self-insistent lies. Gunn's slop represents of mockery of honesty; tedious cringe that empties the soul as well as the mind. It stands for nothing, teaches no lessons, and serves no higher purpose.

The blatant thievery of most of the plot points from MoS and BvS, especially by a Marvel-ite like Gunn, serves to further reinforce the theory that Superman (2025) is a cultural hit job and an attempt to re-write, replace, and erase what came before.

We ARE in a culture war; a war of the mind, of creativity, and of magic. And the slop, and its slop-makers, are the opponents.

>>212830765
>Double the budget for marketing.
The marketing budget is still part of the budget you dumbass

Just tell me when capeshit is dead and studios move on to the next genre to beat to death. I'll take anything at this point.

>>212831584
Gunn cannot write worth a fuck. Now that he's in charge and doesn't have Disney handlers tard-wrangling him, it's even worse.

>>212829681
With marketing and other expenses it needs conservatively half a billy to break even. It’s not getting close to that with the unbelievably shit international numbers

>>212825602 (OP)
This the beginning of the end of the Gunn's DC Universe.
