Arpy 4,145 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 They're phoney representations, shadows of what they really are. Unlike the MCU, DC has had to try and jumpstart this league going on nothing more than two misses and a hit MoS, BvS and Wonder Woman. Rocky foundations to work with. I wonder how much of WW's success and word of mouth was down to the film having a strong female aspect and how much is down to it being a strong Superhero film?

But American audiences lacking interest in an ensemble of American icons is not good. It depends on who is ensembling it. Captain America: Civil War aka The Avengers 2 1/2 made more than a billion dollars, so you got nothing to worry about, Drax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLA has Batman, Superman, Wonder Bra and The Flash. Everyone knows them. Avengers 2 and Civil War have a team of nobodies. And yet they dominated.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Just to give an idea of how badly Justice League is doing: After its third weekend in American theaters, it still hasn't even gotten to the first Avengers' opening weekend gross.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I laugh at Facebook comments that insist these are great returns for the movie. They have no concept of the relation of large numbers. To the layman, $93 million on its own is a huge figure, perhaps because of their awareness that they'll never see that amount in their own bank accounts. But that figure's context, its relation to other figures (like Wonder Woman or Man of Steel's figures), and what it all means to a movie franchise's future in its present form is completely lost on them. When they hear a film like this "only made x amount", their kneejerk reaction is "but that's a lot of money!" And try explaining the intricacies of the industry and the need for revenue to hit y amount, they don't understand. Maybe they don't need to understand, but they do their own damage by spreading a lot of false info. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Well, there was a time when a $600 million box office performance used to be the mark of a bonafide hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Depends on how much investment went into production and marketing. In this case, it was gargantuan. And inflation plays its part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
