Dr Strange box office still below SS? - Doctor Strange (2016) Discussion

[–] sinjun-84844 8 years ago

meaning WB threw out their best villain.. the Joker

pulled out Will Smith arguably a strong actor

and still only managed a little less than 100 million worldwide over Dr Strange who was a virtual unknown but people knew Benedict Cumberbatch it's not over yet too so the lead'll get closer. plus with the reshoot costs and extra marketing Dr Strange probably is still more profitable

I think today I will change the game , as this is what dceu fans do, and compare SS to a fairer comparison which is a similar most recently released sort of team up movie in captain America civil war, it crushed suicide squad at the box office, can we now close this thread and have no more of this dceu V marvel nonsense , it's clear to everyone marvel won a long time ago , you can't compare marvel to dceu films as dceu is a lower league and lower quality .

They aren't even remotely similar films "lol!" One is a group of separate comic characters coming together to form a team out of Batman's rogue gallery. Sony's unmade Sinister six would have been a better comparison! Lol!

If you keep latching on to this very unrelated film that is not a solo film I'll have to keep pointing out how much better Frozen did to Suicide Squad. By this logic Frozen would count as a valid comparison.

So what's the excuse for Doctor Strange coming very close to beating DC's solo film about Man of Steel? That's a more valid comparison since they're both solo character.

[–] gav3eb 8 years ago

No Marvel fans thought that. I and many Marvel fans thought it would do Ant Man money of 550 million or above and it did exceed that by a long shot. That's what a solo D list Marvel character does which is amazing.

Sorry you feel the need to troll trying to compare a DC team up movie releases in the summer with marketing heavy on Harley, Joker, and Batman to make yourself feel good. Unfortunately you're a DC fanatic loser troll so there's only so much happiness you'll get in life.

*Twitch.*

I am getting tired of Marvel N00bs calling Doctor strange D list.

He's far from D list. Marvel has over 3000 characters. You need to take a look at their ACTUAL D list. Doctor Strange has appeared in every animated Marvel series since the 60s. The only one he didn't appear in was X-Men (1990s) but he did appear in Spider-Man which was set in the same universe. Doctor Strange was so popular in the 90s that Fox Kids shelled out the money to get Tony Jay to voice Mordo. Tony Jay is Frollo in Disney's Hunchback of NotreDame and getting him to voice anything immediately after that cost a lot.

You're talking about a character who has appeared on album covers for Pink Floyd (you know, one of the biggest bands of the 70s.). A character that Vincent Price liked (Because he was obviously the basis for his appearance) and is the source of Dr. Orpheus in Venture Brothers. You don't parody something unless it's something people will recognize. Never have I seen Doctor Strange called D list until this message board. I kind of understand having never read a comic book in your entire lives (Doctor Strange was a major character in at least six titles of Marvel in the 1990s alone) but this is ridiculous. For God's sake, he's in two Disney XD Halloween specials. Search on Amazon for vintage Doctor Strange action figures and you'll find toys of him dating back to the 80s. Actual Marvel D listers don't have toys.

A list - Goes without saying

Spiderman, Superman, Batman

B list - most people know them, but they are/were not hugely popular amongst the masses

X-men, Fantastic 4, Wonder woman, Hulk

C list - Some people know of them, though not all, they are considered outdated

Captain America, The Flash

D list - only comicbook readers know them

eg. Doctor Strange

And to be clear, I'm talking about the state of play before any of these characters were popularised by recent movies or TV series.

If you have a different way of categorizing, them explain your system.

[–] CountVladDracula 8 years ago

But that's not even remotely true. There are characters who have literally never transitioned outside of comics. Doctor Strange has been in every cartoon series, two Halloween specials, had two previous live action movie attempts, one animated movie, repeated action figures made of him, and even appeared on a Pink Floyd album cover.

And I was not talking about recently.

He's parodied on Scooby Doo. The original version of Vincent Van Ghoul was poking fun of the fact that Doctor Strange was obviously modeled after Vincent Price so they got Vincent Price to voice the parody. The newer version is more like Peter Vincent from 1985's Fright Night, who was a combo parody of Peter Cushing and Vincent Price.

And he is also parodied in Venture Brothers. The character Doctor Orpheus is based on Doctor Strange.

You don't parody something people won't recognize.

[–] A-to-ZZZ 8 years ago

An animated movie that a few thousand people have seen has little relevance to how the general public perceive a character. 99% of people watching the movie will never have heard of Doctor STrange, which for all intents and purposes is the same as 100%.

I can guarantee you that I know more about Marvel characters than at least 95% of the population, and I have never heard of these parodies you are talking about. NOt that some obscure episode of Scooby Doo that has a character who is supposedly a parody of Doctor STrange would have any influence either way.

I sincerely doubt that 95% claim based on your own statement...

There are people who consider me a moderate fan of the comics.

Also Umm... It wans't some obscure episode...

You never heard of The 13 Ghosts of Schooby Doo? Vincent Van Ghoul was in EVERY episode of the 1980s Scooby Doo.

He even narrates the opening scene of every episode.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRV5raXCDkA

or Doctor Orpheus on Venture Brothers?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6leisjxacQ

I'm honestly surprised.

You can get a Doctor Orpheus doll in Hot Topic of all places.

In fact I just now found out he's getting a retro style one in a few weeks.

https://www.amazon.com/Bang-Pow-Venture-Action-Orpheus/dp/B005H2M04A

And A Funko of him.

As for Vincent Van Ghoul, the character was so popular that when they made What's New Scooby Doo they actually paid Vincent Price's state to gain permission to use Price's likeness for the character again. They hired Maurice LaMarche (Brain in Pinky and the Brain) to do the voice since he's the only person in Hollywood (besides Dan Castonella) who can do a passable Vincent Price impersonation.

[–] A-to-ZZZ 8 years ago

Ugh...this post is mind boggling. Maybe if they wanted to make a vincent price bio, or even a vincent van ghoul film that would be relevant. Nobody is going to go and see a Doctor STrange film because they associate him with Vincent Van Ghoul. Get real man.

reply

[–] CountVladDracula 8 years ago

I didn't say the reason people would see the movie is because of Vincent Van Ghoul. Don't twist my words.

I was merely pointing out that there were well known parodies of Doctor Strange. In fact Vincent Van Ghoul was a parody within a homage. Vincent Price knew Doctor strange was modeled after him and so when the character of Vincent Van Ghoul was created he was both a homage to Vincent Price but a parody of the character inspired by him.

My point was the character was known well enough for that to have happened.

Not to mention Dr. Orpheus is a fairly regular appearing character of Venture Brothers on Adult Swim and most viewers DO know who and what he is a parody of.

There was also a 1978 Doctor Strange TV movie. And the attempted movie in the 1990s that became Doctor Mordrid.

And also Doctor Strange's appearances in The Incredible Hulk (1980s and 1990s animated series), X-men, Spider-Man (1990s animated series), Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends (1980s series), later Ultimate Spider-Man, Avengers Assemble, and Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.

He had at least three action figures before this movie...

The Halloween specials Ultimate Spider-man: Strange Little Halloween. and Hulk: Where Monsters Dwell.

He's a playable character in Marvel Heroes MMOPRG, Avengers Alliance, Avengers Academy, Superhero Squad Online, ect...

He appeared in the 2010 animated film Planet Hulk and The 2007 animated Doctor Strange movie.

The band Pink Floyd (Ever hear of 'em??!?) were fans of Doctor Strange and inserted panel art from his comics on one of their album covers and mentions him in song.

Also I'm actually a woman. I'm sorry to disappoint but I'm not actually Count Dracula either.

I've heard of Moon Knight because I read that Netflix might be doing a Moon knight series. I've heard of Man Thing because his name sounds kind of like Swamp Thing.

That's it.

reply

[–] CountVladDracula 8 years ago

Man-Thing is a bit of a knock-off of Swamp Thing. The biggest difference is he can sense emotions. His touch burns those who feel fear and he's mute. Or he was. I read that he may talk in the new comic book they're giving him written by R. L. Stine. He's never had his own TV show. His only movie adaptation was a Scifi Channel Original. And his only cartoon appearances are in Ultimate Spider-Man animated series and Hulk and the agents of S.M.A.S.H for Halloween specials. And the recent Halloween special, Hulk: Where Monsters Dwell. He's only had one action figure, a Marvel Legends figure from 2006.

Moon Knight was a character introduced in the Werewolf by Night comics. He's the first mentally ill Superhero, actually diagnosed as schizophrenic and a loose parody of Batman. He was originally introduced as a werewolf hunter (hence the moon themed weapons made of silver). When he realized he had been tricked into hunting Jack (a good guy werewolf) he switched sides. He fast grew into a character in his own right. His real name is Marc Spector and though mentally ill he managed to win the favor of the Egyptian God of Vengeance. But he's still mostly just rich crazy guy with weapons. He's never appeared in any cartoon but he is a playable character in Avenges Alliance, Superhero Squad Online, and Marvel Heroes MMORPG. I happen to love Werewolf by Night and I sadly fear the original source for Moon Knight will be forgotten for any Netflix incarnation.

Officially these two characters are below Doctor Strange in regard to public awareness according to Marvel. There's actually a considerably long list of characters even behind them.

That's not to say he's an unimportant character in the Marvel Universe. He's just not at the same popularity level as Iron Man, Captain America or Thor, and never has been.

How I list it:

A list - Has had high budget movie adaptations, cartoons and repeated action figures. Their comic book titles have never gone out of print and they appear in all (if not nearly all) Marvel compilation video games like Avengers Alliance, Superhero Squad online, and Marvel Heroes MMORPG.

B list - Has had less film adaptations or low budget film adaptions. Never had their own cartoon series but appeared repeatedly in the cartoons of other characters. Perhaps a direct to video movie or two. Action figures. And appear in all (if not nearly all) Marvel team up video games such as Avengers Alliance, Superhero Squad online, and Marvel Heroes MMORPG.

D list - Maybe has appeared in cartoons but perhaps only as seasonal or rarely. i.e. characters they only dust off for Halloween like Werewolf by Night. And who maybe only had one action figure in the last forty years. Man-Thing comes to mind.

E list - Never appeared in a cartoon but known by comic book fans, might have an action figure or two.

F list - Obscure even to some comic book readers. i.e. The Spot and most recently Krampus.

Another did say that he was happy that the DCEU was attempting to create a more distinct visual style for their films with something like Suicide Squad, but that was the only thing he liked about the film.

Do you know why this is a stupid comment?

14 James Bond movies all feature James Bond. You can be pretty sure that people want to see James Bond when they go to see them. He's the brand and the brand is him.

Same thing is true when you go to the fourth Die Hard film: you're there for John McClane.

Star Wars movies all have certain elements that people have come to expect of the series.

There aren't many brands that work the way the Marvel brand works. Basically Pixar and Disney Animation have ever had the sort of success with a production brand that Marvel has: they're not tied to a specific character or genre.

Last year, Pixar released its highest-grossing (domestic) original film in Inside Out.

It also released its lowest-grossing film ever in The Good Dinosaur.

So is Pixar a success, or a failure? Its 15th release was a smash hit, but its sixteenth barely made back its budget.

Of Marvel's 14 films to date, 7 were either sequels or event films (Avengers), and 7 were original characters/groups. Of those latter 7, Doctor Strange ranks second, behind only Guardians of the Galaxy and ahead of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, Ant-Man and The Incredible Hulk. It's also ahead of two sequels, Iron Man 2 and Thor: The Dark World.

How "much better" should it have done?

I am not anti Marvel or DC. I just like pointing out what hypocrites you all are. The problem is you are judging movies based on your opinion and ratings. Scenario A: If you think a movie is terrible and and terrible ratings but makes lots of money it is still terrible. Scenario B: If you like a movie and has great ratings and makes lots of money it is a great movie. I will prove my theory below. Tell me which movie is better. I rounded numbers up slightly to make it harder to figure what movies they are.

Movie A:

Movie B:

Bingo, that is exactly the point I am trying to convey. The problem is that people judge movies based on their opinion. I think Twilight is stupid but then again that is just my opinion. If I were a 12 yr old girl then I would probably love it. Twilight breaking dawn part 2 made $830 million so I have recourse in saying it is a bad movie.

The two movies were Twilight breaking dawn part 2 and The Amazing Spider-Man. Even though Spider Man has better ratings and was also released in China, Twilight ended up making more money. Based on those facts Twilight is a better movie than Spiderman despite your opinion of both movies. I surely hope you are seeing the point of all this.
