I know it was a terrible movie. Not sure what Sony was thinking.

[–] PresidentAckbar (1289) 7 years ago

GB16 was a complete failure.

reply

[–] Bubbathegut (18049) 7 years ago

So was Thor 3, it should have made a billion by now.

reply

[–] TwistedAcrobat (1725) 7 years ago

Although I did say it could do a 1.2 billion given the hype and actors cast for it, the reality is that we're talking about Thor. It already did a lot of money for a Thor [who?] movie.

reply

[–] Bubbathegut (18049) 7 years ago

Thor has been in 5 movies so obviously nobody knows who he is.

reply

[–] TwistedAcrobat (1725) 7 years ago

compared to Batman, Superman and WonderWoman; who is Thor?

reply

[–] Bubbathegut (18049) 7 years ago

Batman - 2 cameos, 1 movie
Superman - 2 movies, 1 cameo
WW - 2 movies
Flash - 1 movie
Cyborg - 1 movie

--------------------------------------------------

Thor - 5 movies, 1 cameo

You realize it has no chance of crossing 1 billion right? Even under the best circumstances. It would be one thing if it made that money while still having a bunch of international markets left, but since it tried to front load its BO it has no chance.

reply

[–] Bubbathegut (18049) 7 years ago

Thor 3 was released in 51 foreign countries while JL was only released in 33 foreign markets.

I would say that Thor was more front loaded than JL according to the facts.

reply

[–] lordbishop34 (1442) 7 years ago

First front loading means opening in a majority of its markets including China on opening weekend which JL did, multiple sources say it opened to 60+ markets doubling what Thor originally opened up too. Also Thor opened over multiple weeks and not China in its first week. If you added up the markets JL opened in and compared them to Thor openings in the same markets you would see it has outperformed JLs opening.

But either way it’s running behind BvS which if you recall, Did not make it to a billion nor did the far more popular and DC domestic champ WW.

reply

[–] PresidentAckbar (1289) 7 years ago

Thor 3 was also massively front loaded as well, in fact all CBM movies these days are front loaded.

reply

[–] lordbishop34 (1442) 7 years ago

Except it wasn't, it opened in about 30+ markets and it did not open in the largest at the time China, that came later. By the time it opened in the US the film quality was largely known not strategically hidden by opening all at once basically.

Thor had multiple markets still opening for a few weeks. JL has few if any large markets left to open in. The largest it has already opened in and that was China and it under performed compared to BvS and Thor 3.

The gross internationally for JL isn't really bad like the US but its not as good as it seems because of how wide it opened.

reply

[–] ChuckFindlay (392) 7 years ago

You got that round the wrong way bro beans. Thor opened in only 33 markets.

You do see those dates are staggered right?

reply

[–] PresidentAckbar (1289) 7 years ago

Today is 11/24/17. The movie HAS been released in those countries which total 51. How do you get 33?

reply

[–] ChuckFindlay (392) 7 years ago

How do you not know what initial release date is? 33 initial not total.

reply

[–] lordbishop34 (1442) 7 years ago

your dates are over two separate weeks and most importantly opened initially on the 10/24 and where as it hit the US 11/3, thats over a week.

JL opened 11/15 and on the largest markets on the 17th..including the US. Box Office mojo doesn't even have the full listing yet.

you really don't see how different that is?

reply

[–] ishmu (6) 7 years ago

In foreign totals, Thor 3 made 109 million in its first weekend, and then rose to 153 million its second weekend. Unless the majority of people coincidentally decided to wait until the second weekend to watch the movie, that's not front-loading.

reply

[–] PresidentAckbar (1289) 7 years ago

This is not a trap! The Ackbars have concluded that it is 51 countries.

Justice League was slated to make a billion, but they lost that coveted Alderaan market they were counting on.
