Why not just wait till you've watched the film itself? You've most likely waited this long. Wait a while more?

Who in charge of Budgeting? Because that's insane.
I mean Batman Begins did well at 350mil. I know times are different, but I expected 600 mil to be a success story for Suicide Squad.

Right?! That's what I was thinking even before reviews. Someone at WB needs to be held on a leash budgeting wise. That probably includes marketing but still
Yeah, that isn't right. A new IP like SS shouldn't have to make that much to just break even. WB isn't budgeting these films correctly. I hope it breaks even, but what kind of business are you running where a movie has to make 800 million to make money? How much revenue do they expect SS to generate?
The financials behind these blockbusters is just mind boggling to me. Maybe Lucas and Spielberg were right when they said a crash was imminent.
Yea it's not just this movie either. Ghostbusters is going to struggle to make its money back.
Oh. My. God.
What the hell am I reading... did they really just do the same thing again? How terrible is WB at their jobs that he feel they made the best edit? Clearly and unequivocally proven wrong by the Ultimate Cut. I get it's their money on the line, but this is embarassing to read

4 hours and 45 minutes!
WB needs to get these budgets under control. SS shouldn't need to be on GoTG level in order to break even.

Wow, I came pretty close with my 31% RT prediction. Kudos to me.

Nice, my midnight screening is stacked. 310 out of 350 seats taken (no one wants those shitts seats in the front row, especially with IMAX 3D). Love it. The atmosphere with BvS and all the hardcore fans there was brilliant. Especially the moment Wonder Woman showed up 
I live for these moments.

I wonder why no one digs out these numbers when Marvel releases a film. No one was talking about numbers when Thor 2 was out, or even Ant-Man.
Just a set up for a future. It was nice nod but ehh.. like the rest of the movie, just "okay"

There isn't a moment of spontaneous fun or humor in this long, turgid movie, the latest letdown for DC Comics fans who've been waiting for someone to pick up the baton Christopher Nolan left behind.

See, I don't get these 'reviews'. Nolan movies weren't exactly 'FUN' or 'HUMOROUS'. They were well-crafted films as a whole. Not sure why these assholes bring up these terms at all in their reviews and then mention Nolan as well on the side.

Probably because those movies weren't killed by reviewers and ended up making what they expected them to make.
Where? I wanna see
Ghostbusters won't make its money back at all. It was an outright failure and the media won't even mention it cuz nobody cares about Ghostbusters. I still don't get how that movie ended up costing 150 million dollars and that's without marketing.
I wish I knew more about how these movies get made so I can wrap my head around it. Like why do horror films cost so much less?

To be fair I think bar Johns not many DC people have really been involved with MoS and SS so far. So WB execs being to blame sounds believable.
I remember when the current CEO took over I think he was vocal about a DCEU but it sounds more like it was a DCEU by committee.
Man, fuck WB
Because going by that THR article
This: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLLQK9la6Go
Was the original tone of the movie for sure.
FUCK.

Maybe because his movies were good enough that nobody noticed that they weren humorous beside Alfreds dry humor and Jokers puns.
Johns still has to answer to WB ultimately though.

Still my favorite trailer. I'm holding out hope that it's still there though. I won't know for sure until I see the movie.
Some critics have said the movie is still dark and humorless so....who the fuck knows?

Mayimbe is such a tool.
Also, looking at some old threads I saw that Alienous and Dennis are banned. What happened?

Guys, am I reading this wrong or does the article say that Trailer Park cut the Comic Con First Look, or are they talking about the first official trailer ?
Yea those movies were just great movies. I have to wonder what definition of "fun" they mean?
The official trailer.
Mayimbe swears the Johns era starts with WW and that the days of executive meddling are over, here's to hoping.
It says teaser so I'm assuming it's the Comic Con stuff.

They are talking about the Bohemian Rhapsody trailer
Well, Faraci!!!!! said WW looking good.
Much like BvS
killed off Superman
Every day that passes without a Superman solo announcement I die a little inside. WB casts a perfect Superman, doesn't use him. It's like some mean joke.

WW in 10 months, JL in a few more. Whatever they've been doing hasn't worked, not the least following favorable response to the ultimate cut. At least there's time to get those in a good place.
Maybe we will get another cut of Suicide Squad on home video after all this.

I think more panic will rise and the studio will interfere even more...
I did the same thing. Though I'm in the States, so it was only like 25 bucks. I can't believe the 3D version wasn't the UC. They pimp it so much that I just expected it to be. Like how the 4K version is actually the UC.
Collider posted their written review by Matt Goldberg

I took my entire family to the IMAX screening, went to watch it 3 times more, and bought the digital version because I couldn't wait the 3 weeks for the UC... then bought it against on Blu Ray. (and no I don't do that ever... the hype/thirst levels on BvS were unreal)
Yikes.
