DC Films is quickly becoming the new envy of Hollywood.

reply

Sigh , another shill post by queen, why are they becoming the new envy of hollywood? They have released 2 movies this year , one flopped and the other, a stand alone movie , is no doubt a success, its took them years to get to this point, its been a complete mess until the last 12 months, but if you look around the envy of Hollywood is Marvel, unless you have your head up your ass which sometimes i think you do.

I actually belive BOP will disappoint, Aquaman 1 was meh so i dont think 2 will perform aswell, these movies wont compete with Marvels slate thats for sure, sorry qyeen this is another desperate post that will come back to haunt you.

Hows Harriet doing ? You kniw that gem thst you predicted woukd have legs??? Haha duuur

reply

Ahhh...yes...Black Widow and Eternals will surely set the box office on fire.

One thing is almost a certainty...huge 200 million production budgets.

reply

Im sure they will , queen we have been down this road many times, remember youre black panther prediction? Captain marvel ?

reply

did Black Panther teach you nothing?

reply

That it was a cultural phenomenon and "first"? That it was setting up and integral to the final Avengers film?

Why...yes.

Now...just how does that apply to Black Widow and Eternals?

reply

You had no foresight then and that probably hasn’t changed.

Your emotional attachment to DC will forever cloud your judgement.

reply

Bingo, rockfly gets it, eternals will be huge, solid cast, great characters, young odin, young thanos included, i predict big numbers.

reply

HAHAHAHAHA

reply

Are you telling me the eternals wont be big at the box office ?

reply

You're the one who brought up Black Panther. Are you saying Eternals will do those kinds of numbers?

reply

I belive it has the potential to

reply

Well then we clearly disagree.

reply

Of course you do, being anti marvel and pro dc i expected nothing else

reply

Not expecting Black Panthar numbers for Black Widow or Eternals does not make me "anti-marvel" or "pro-DC" it just makes me sane.

reply

Black Widow has Scarlett Johansson it will be a box office hit.

reply

ScarJo's a box-office draw?

Who woulda thunk it?

lol

reply

She is not the highest paid actress for nothing.

reply

Lol...okay.

reply

See, none of those sound interesting to me. I think if DC wants to make a mark, they should shoot for more story-first, sequel-later ideas like Joker (sequel wasn't in the machinery until after this one did gangbusters). They should focus less on franchises and extended universes and more on unique ideas.

reply

I absolutely agree but I am just commenting on commercial reality.

reply

Oh, yes, commercially speaking, I'm sure those are all gangbusters. Wonder Woman '84, in particular, I think, will make bank, the first one being so popular.

reply

lol Nice the DC Troll

reply

Don't forget Black Adam. That one is gonna be a monster.

reply

Thank you!

Forgot about that one!

Will the production budget for Black Adam be south of $100 Million in order for the studio to be called the Envy of Hollywood?

reply

Honestly it sounds like Black Adam is gonna be real expensive. If reports are accurate, the JSA is supposed to be introduced and it has been confirmed Black Adam will fight Hawkman.

reply

If it is as expensive as most Marvel films(I.e. 150 million and up), I'd bet a Black Adam movie with Dwayne Johnson will have a much better chance at recouping that cost than say...a Black Widow film.

reply

Black Adam does look like a box office hit due to the rock.
Love him or hate him but he us box office draw one of the very left in Hollywood

reply

You forgot about juggernaut that will be Suicide Squad 2.

As DC is heading up i would expect big numbers for these movies - So what's your predictions for them?

reply

How did I forget that?!?!?!

And with James Gunn!!!!

reply

gonna be yuge!

reply

Please explain why the two follow-ups to Suicide Squad will be financial successes.

reply

The first one was?

reply

The first one was a dud with both critics and fans. It made money in the first few weeks off an awesome trailer but once people began realizing how crappy the movie was, it dropped quickly which is why James Gunn's SS is a reboot and the other follow-up is a Harley vehicle that removes all other characters from the previous film, including the Joker since Jared Leto's version of the character had been endlessly mocked. Why would people be interested in revisiting the franchise?

reply

Perhaps a James Gunn version will renew people's interest in revisiting that franchise?

reply

It might. Queenie likes to lowball any and all Marvel movies, including trying to convince people that Endgame was losing popularity. I wanted to see why she thought a James Gunn Suicide Squad movie would be a success if James Gunn is mostly famous for his Marvel movies.

reply

I always find it peculiar how she claims to love all things Disney, but antagonizes the MCU a lot and any box office performance of a Disney owned movie. Queenie's entire credibility with The Lion King remake just reeks of horseshit.

reply

Queen is a dc super fan who won’t quite come all the way out and admit. He Uses passive aggressive troll techniques that I myself used to use on sports message boards. So I’m familiar.

reply

At least he admits that SS sucks a few times.

reply

aaaannnnnd now we can add The Flash to this slate...lol.

An embarrassment of riches in store for DC Films in the next decade.

reply

The flash? Really? Nobody cares about the flash.

reply

I believe they said the same thing about Aquaman.

How'd that turn out?

reply

No. No they didn’t. Aquaman had Jason momoa attached. It was hyped and everyone was excited because of him.

Who’s playing the flash? Serious question

DC Films is quickly becoming the new envy of Hollywood.
As the 2019 Film season comes to a close and we head into 2020, You've staked your claim and laid down a marker via this post that DC Films is, in your words, "an absolute Box-Office Supernova" Marvel had 3 movies in 2018 for ($4.04 Billion WW) and 2 movies released in 2019 for ($3.93 Billion WW). No one knows if you consider those numbers Super-Nova-ish or not but let's just say they are not according to "your gut".

DC Films will be releasing the following:
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) release date: Jun 05, 2020
Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020) release date: Feb 07, 2020
The Batman (2021) release date: Jun 25, 2021
The Suicide Squad (2021) release date: Aug 06, 2021
DC Super Pets (2022) release date: May 20, 2022
The Batman (2021) release date: Jun 25, 2021
So you are proclaiming the DC Films box office to not only be substantially higher than Marvel's Box office but also higher than the two preceding years of 2018 and 2019? What defines Supernova?

You are also predicting that the financial fortunes of DC Films will continue to exceed those of Marvel Studios for subsequent years and that DC Fims is quickly becoming the envy of Hollywood, also according to your gutsy prognostications. 🤔😎

The Box Office performance by Marvel for 2019 will NOT be eclipsed by DC Films in 2020. DC Films will have a nice Box Office but you're suggesting and hoping that your go-to Anti-Disney financials rant is your safety-net. What makes you think that Black Widow's production budget will be substantially higher or outsized from WW84? BW and the Eternals will match dollar for dollar with WW84 and BOP in terms of Box Office. I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that The Eternals will exceed the Box Office take of BOP both Worldwide and Domestic.

reply

Okay...The Eternals MAY exceed the box office of BOP...MAYBE..but I'm sure the budget will be INFINITELY higher than BOP'S 75 milion. I also will go "out on a limb" and say that WW84 will be the biggest CBM grosser of 2020 and it just gets bigger for DC Films in the years that follow with Batman , James Gunn's Suicide Squad, etc.

Joker 2 and Aquaman 2 anybody?


Lol

Not really aqua man was meh

It was routinely expected that your Goto rebuttal would be "But what about production budgets"?. Rather reluctantly you understand that The Eternals is a much bigger IP for Marvel than Birds Of Prey is for DC. I only threw IP into your mix because it is a concept that you turned to in order to attempt to denigrate Disney's or Marvel's financial potential of their characters and properties.😎 Marvel is willing to invest in The Eternals in order to grow those characters into a valued franchise and new,fresh story-lines. It remains to be seen if Warner/DC has that kind of faith in BOP (besides Harley Quinn/Margot Robbie) to establish future potential. You're hoping for a Joker-esque type of bravura performance for HQ and BOP and it may very well happen, (I personally don't think it will be more than an average character study, and you are instead seriously downplaying The Eternals and Marvel.)

I don't disagree that DC and their slate of films have nowhere to go but UP but Box Office performance will only seem to be remarkable because of the very poor performance of JL and BvS.

Lol
Looks like we are going to have to break this down piece by piece just to analyze just WTFH!!! Do you honestly still hold your statement with any bit of conviction that BOP May exceed the Box Office of Marvel's Eternals? It MAY be possible that the opening weekend of Marvel's Eternals will exceed the entire theatrical run of BOP. Allow me to repeat myself. Marvel's Eternals Opening Weekend may very well exceed the entire theatrical run of BOP. Do I really think that will happen? No, not really. But it is fun teasing you with that fake fun fact. 🤣

Yes, the budget for Marvel's Eternals will be higher (not INFINITELY nor EXPONENTIALLY higher) than BOP's budget and the difference will be that Marvel's budget will be better spent. Marvel as a studio will make better decisions on their investment in a new IP.

I continue to look quizzically at your stance in believing that Warner/DC had righted their studio ship to the point that "Great Things" are guaranteed on the horizon. You're real position is in your narrative that you feel that Marvel/Disney are done, toast, Kaput, washed-up and is now a "Has-Been" of a studio and company. What you proclaim to be a Half-Empty glass many others see as Marvel/DC filling a whole new glass next to the existing full glass-set.

If you'd stop wishing that Marvel/Disney were doomed and started focusing just on Warner/DC you wouldn't make such egregiously wrong posts. I thought that BOP would have a solid theatrical run but at no time did I think it would be a Billion Dollar or even a Half-Billion dollar movie. If BOP musters up $350 Million WW it could still be in good shape financial shape.

Oh I forgot:

Congratulations to Joker and Phoenix for their Oscar nominations and the win. That is indeed a feather in the caps of Warner and DC. Even with the starts and stops of their financial efforts they manage to produce something they can hang their hats on.
