that's to far. I would say the reboot Spider-man more likely -- nm - Remlik Apr 20, 14:00 20
- It's akin to Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Man of Steel, both of which are huge failures no matter how they're perceived. -- nm - David Apr 20, 14:05 19
  - 700 Mill and $668 Mill for each. -- nm - Remlik Apr 20, 14:12 18
    - See above. Comparing simple numbers vs. budget isn't the way to do this. -- nm - David Apr 20, 14:20 7
      - I know and I understand. I really do, but it is also about perception. When/if BVS hits a Billion internationally WB will trumpet that. -- nm - Remlik Apr 20, 14:26 6
        
        they conned a lot of fanboys into turning out on opening weekend and then it fell off a cliff - dj fingerblast Apr 20, 14:28
        
        It won't, though. It'll be lucky to get to $900 million. -- nm - Inigo Apr 20, 14:28
        
        Given it's rate of growth, I don't think they can make a legitimate case to get there. - Will Hunting Apr 20, 14:28
        
        It's like the next VW commercial you see. They can talk about their great cars, but reality isn't their friend. -- nm - David Apr 20, 14:27 2
        
        I agree with this. However, if Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman are well-received/big hits that changes the game for Justice League. -- nm - Inigo Apr 20, 14:31 1
        
        I completely agree. I've been saying for a year now that Suicide Squad is their most important movie this year. - David Apr 20, 14:36
    - And killed the Spidey franchise for Sony ... and necessitated a quick jump to the Justice League for a recovery (that isn't coming). -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 20, 14:18 9
      - that *IS* coming. WHy do you think WB is adjusting the course of Justice League with a new producer that will help Snyder..and Wonder Woman.... - Remlik Apr 20, 14:24 8
        
        Wonder Woman might be the best part of BvS, but BvS has tarnished DC fims that she'll diminished by that. WB's bringing in help becuase they realize - Will Hunting Apr 20, 14:30 7
        
        OF course they are in course correction mode, but WW and SS are good starts. And Afflecks Batman is a damn smart move as well. The problem with BVS... - Remlik Apr 20, 14:40
        
        I think you are underestimating the WW movie and it's potential. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 20, 14:31 5
        
        I might be...but it's also one of those "vacuum" possibilities that before BvS, she was poised to be X ... after that disappointment, she's poised to - Will Hunting Apr 20, 14:40 4
        
        is there was one thing that came out of BvS that was a WOW moment, - groiny Apr 20, 14:45 1
        
        I don't disagree...and I can't 'prove' a hypothetical, but there will be some stink for her movie becuase it's involved in BvS - Will Hunting Apr 20, 14:52
        
        This is the underlying triumph of Batman Begins. -- nm - David's iPad Apr 20, 14:45 1
        
        Yeah, Nolan nailed it (outside of Katie Holmes). Dark Knight was a certainty to blow up afterwards - Will Hunting Apr 20, 14:46
Well, creatively it was a disaster. I'm asking about $$. nm - Dignan Apr 20, 13:58
anyone making a movie to be their Avengers, is making a big mistake. -- nm - groiny Apr 20, 13:58
