[QUOTE="Bagpuss, post: 9176975, member: 3987"] It's a DC Superhero movie not about Batman, with a star that has allegations about grooming minors of course is going to bomb. It managed $267 mil worldwide. Blue Beetle did even worse $121.5 million worldwide. I don't know exactly why but DC superhero movies don't tend to get the same audience as Marvel movies (the fact they are dark and depressing a lot of the time can't help). Marvel's recent releases are of course going to struggle to live up to Endgame, but Guardians 3 Marvel's last movie grossed $845 million, compared with 2 that grossed $863 million, there first outing was $771 million. Black Panther 2 (2022) grossed $859.2 mil. The Eternals that was generally poorly received about a group of heroes most people have never heard of still did $402 mil, Shang-Chi another pretty unknown hero $432 mil. So both nearly twice the box office of The Flash. Ant-Man Quantumania was terrible and still did $476 mil, but Ant-Man really isn't a big name in superheroes. Still look at the Spiderman movies since Endgame, Far from Home, $1.1 BILLION worldwide, No way home $1.9 Billion. Then the Spiderverse movies which considering the art style could be considered a real gamble, the first one made $384 mil worldwide, but the second made $690 million once people knew how good the first one was, hardly loosing steam there. Wonder Woman (2017), went from $822 million, compared to WW 1984 (2020) did $169 million a massive drop but to be expected with COVID still a big thing at the time. Captain Marvel grossed $1.1 billion worldwide, be really interesting to see how well The Marvels does. If it is less than the $400 million of second string Marvel movies then yeah it isn't looking that good for Marvel outside their main characters. I think Marvel have sensibly reduced the number of movies they release in 2021 they had 5 movies out, they are back to three a year now. [/QUOTE]
