Heck, it's even similar from 1 to 2

Films apparently aren't allowed to make $200-299M domestic this year.
There's always a chance for a surprise upset performance, but I think we will remain without a $200M film until November. I think at least one of Fantastic Beasts, Doctor Strange, and Moana ends up in that range.

Dwayne Johnson isn't the best paid actor in the business for no reason, buddy.
I was decidedly unimpressed by this flick... gave it a 4.5/10.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Couldn't have asked for a better partner!

I'll pop in to vote for Kubo... although I suspect Hell or High Water may wind up topping it. It doesn't arrive in my neck of the woods until Friday.
I won't be able to vote for worst summer movie because I wisely passed on paying money for Suicide Squad.

No Matt, stay! We haven't talked about Divergent yet!
Well thank goodness for small miracles.

It's basically as if Joseph Gordon-Levitt is doing a spot on impression of Edward Snowden, but nobody had the sense to tell him to pull it back just a tad bit.

so Johns runs DCfilms and is the CCO of DC entertainment? and he dabbles in the CW shit too? dude gonna be burned out
Superhero Fatigue Here Brehs
Actually, I'd say Berlanti runs CWTV. Johns works more as an overseer rather than being directly involved. And most of his focus is on the DC Films right now.so johns runs DCfilms and DC entertainemnt? and CWTV? dude gonna be burned out

Forget Snyder and all that other DC capeshit, Johns need to save arrow from felicity.

Suicide Squad was the itch in DC's crotch, Thor 2 was the turd in Marvel's blossom.

Man, I know I haven't watched it but this is a bold statement.
We live in a world where abominable Michael Bay-directed Transformers films exist. How can something be worse than those?
It's not.

SS is easily the worst made high profile movie I've seen when going by plot structure and pacing.
But the 15 minutes of Transformers 3 I saw on cable made me want to slam my head in a car door.

Warcraft tho. It's full of exposition and I still had no idea what was going on.

i enjoyed warcraft more than suicide squad, and last year's comic movies too honestly.
it's pretty silly though.

I didn't think Warcraft was awful but yeah this. I was waiting for the moment where it all made sense and then it just ended.

Just came in to say that I think Matt is right. Half the gross and double the budget is very reasonable and a good general rule of thumb for big budget films.
The rule just ignores all other income from home video, merchandising etc. which makes a big difference.
However, when people say that it has already broken even at the box office, which I believe is rare, then about 4x budget is about right.
A film can be a financial success without breaking even at the box office though.

I'm not a fantasy guy in general to be fair. Or a sci fi guy. So those have to work doubly hard. And when I'm playing "spot the bad edit" it ain't cricket

i don't know but they managed to do it.
Thor 2 is not a good movie but it's faaar better than SS.
Think it will out gross the Assange movie?
It's really not.
I'm not saying that to be a contrarian, I hated Thor 2 from release on. Years before SS came out.
I'm not using that title. It's racist against elves

I just know it's pretty decent action flick. Saw it last Friday.
Worst film in the last 50 years. I have seen the GAF polls that proves this.
I haven't seen Suicide Squad but their are a lot of bad movies in the $600M+ range. I doubt it's in its own class.
I could go under. Ant-man was $180M afterall. I do think it's a likely candidate for the $200M range though.

I'm looking for it because i'm rooting for Mel to be back and do well with this film, but apparently is very low key despite good critics reception.
Felicity isn't even really the problem. At worst, Felicity is a symptom.

Mel was awesome. It was a very apologetic movie though. Mel really underlined how sorry he is. It was a bit meh to witness, but if you don't let that throw you off, it's a nice action movie.

Ironically right after Ghostbomba... :\
I'm sure no MRA would ever use this as a reason to- oh wait, there it is. I fucking hate Youtube recommendations sometimes.
SS versus Bayformers though, oooof, that's a tough one. I think the editing in SS was so borderline incomprehensible that I'm going to say it is in fact worse than the Bay Transformers movies, even if almost everything about them repulses me.

Audiences seem to be aware that this one actually exists so that should help out some.
Also Snowdon isn't personally attacking/ leaking this film so it's got that going for it.

Sausage party has been doing quite well
Put in a preorder for Star Trek Beyond on Amazon. I got an email today saying that it would come out September 20th, then another one a few hours later basically saying "never mind, we don't know when it's coming out." Clerical error or is Paramount fast tracking that Blu-ray release?
