Today's the day Suicide Squad falls behind Guardians of the Galaxy in domestic box office. After starting with a huge huge lead, due to great promotion, big stars, Batman & Joker, and overall high anticipation. A lead that it could not hold. Because it's a piece of crap.
We'll find out just how far behind it fell tomorrow, but it's happening right now.
And the butthurt and excuses start to flow in 3, 2, 1...
FROM:"Save me Batman, please, save me" WB and MOS TO:"Save me Product Placement, save me" WB and BvS
And the butthurt
After two months?
Try ten days.

And that's not allowing for ticket price inflation--if you make it about ticket sales, the downslide started much sooner.
Front loaded movie, based on hype and brand name recognition, and people hoping this would be the movie to take the bad taste of BvS out of their mouths.
It didn't.
Movies that spend two months in the top ten can't relly be considered just frontloaded...
shareHey Ranma STupid:
I'm glad to see you learnt how to post emoticons. Talking about "progress".

The X-Men timeline was altered 2 times, not just one (DOFP).
FIRST CLASS was already a "divergence".
Everything is explained here:
THE X-MEN CINEMATIC TIMELINES

Cool...And?
Were there also pools for all the Marvel movies SS passed? Was there a pool for when SS passed GotG's number that didn't include China? Is this really news that should make people feel giddy enough to post a bunch of laughing emoticons? I mean, after all, this news means absolutely nothing as far as SS's success.

Plan?...There ain't no plan!!
SS would have done very small #'s in China.
And it would have definitely sold fewer tickets worldwide, even with a Chinese release.
I mean, GOTG surpassed it in number of tickets sold domestiically weeks ago.
For SS to have fallen behind, after being so far ahead (over FORTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS ahead), means that it's not a very good movie. Its very minor success was based on hype and name recognition, not how good a movie it is.
Two words--Front. Loaded.

GotG would have done small numbers in China? You probably meant SS and it would not have had to do big numbers to beat GotG. So, 'legs' for a movie shows whether it is good or not? You do know that most superhero movies do not have 'legs' like GotG. In fact, Civil War had worse 'legs' than MoS and SS.
Plan?...There ain't no plan!!
Yep, that's what I meant. You're right about that. Mental glitch.
Wrong about everything else, though.
To lose such a lead, which at one point was almost $50m, shows just how bad the movie was to the majority of the general audience.
shareIf every movie of this type was compared to GotG then the majority would be bad. GotG had better 'legs' than Civil War and Ultron. Even then, GotG didn't have what is considered to be great 'legs'.

Why is it when someone compares SS to one movie, DC turds like you try to bring up other movies?
There's nothing ridiculous about expecting a movie that was hugely anticipated, that had Batman and The Joker and Ben Affleck and Wlll Smith, and super-expensive promotion, and very little real competition for most of its run, to do better than this movie has. A LOT better.
Bad reviews, bad audience reaction, bad movie.
Period.

Same place you find your proof that it would have outgrossed GOTG if it had opened there.
The Chinese are funny about movies with supernatural elements to them. The things that made SS do as well as it did wouldn't mainly have been operative there.
If you can say it would have been a hit there, I can say--with actual arguments to back me up--that it would have flopped, and ended up costing WB more than their very small share of the box office. Meaning it would have been a LESS profitable film for them if they'd opened it there.

Suicide squad played in more theatres , china is irrelevant as SS squad wasn't released there and could of made peanuts. At the end of the day it failed to beat GOTG, and may I add GOTG was a superior film.

...That's god damn right.
Today's the day Suicide Squad falls behind Guardians of the Galaxy in domestic box office.
A lead that it could not hold.
It did not stay strong for two months.
It started falling behind after ten days.

Sure, tell yourself anything you need to hear.
shareSure, tell yourself anything you need to hear.
Sure that is an accurate translation.
But please, someone show me these "facts" you boast so highly about.
Someone show me a source about how the marketing and reshoot budget was unrealistically high.
Someone show me a source where it proves this movie actually lost money.
Someone show me the fact that demonstrates that this movie is a failure.
Please, I'll be waiting till you find it.

YOU: So to recap its stayed strong for two months, when you were declaring it would fail after two weeks.

The fact is, my butthurt friend, that neither I nor the OP nor the person you directly responded your original bitching rant mentioned the marketing and reshoots, that the movie lost money or that the movie is a failure. Not in this thread.
When Clyon proved you wrong with facts,
And now you want me to bring facts of things we haven't argued here. Why? Because you need to feel better about your desperation. Classic butthurt DC Fanboy tactic: diverting.
I know, I was talking in general.
I don't care if they weren't brought up in this particular thread. There the same arguments others like him and him have been trying to make since it became clear this film was actually succeeding.
He never did though. He just showed me a website the said that this film didn't have the same take after its first week.
It doesn't dispute my point about how well this film has been doing for the last two months.
It doesn't explain why this film is suddenly a failure.
And tell me what is all this accusing and name calling?
Classic troll tactic: trying to scare people away cause you don't want to get challenged.
Well in that case your right.
It seems I have gone off topic.
Still when there are so many treads like this, that quickly degrade into similar accusations and implausible claims, I feel a some confusion isn't unexplainable.
Now I'm not disputing that this film has fallen behind Guardians of the Galaxy. I never did.
My original point was, why is that after two months, it doing so is a sign that its a failure?
To which all I got was a page showing this film had made less money on the weeks afterwards than it did initially. Which I already knew, and didn't see as relevant.
So I dismissed it.
Then I got accused of being an obsessed fanboy, and I'll admit I probably didn't react the best to that.
Sorry if I've taken this off topic, if I did its cause I forgot what the topic of this post actually was.
But I still stand by my original statement. Namely why does it falling behind two months afterwards mean its suddenly a failure?
But I still stand by my original statement. Namely why does it falling behind two months afterwards mean its suddenly a failure?
Well in that case I've clearly missed the point of this thread from the start.
And withdraw any irrelevant previous statements.
I'm glad this could end civilly.
Suicide squad was released in more theatres aswell , well done GOTG , just goes to show how good that film was and how better it was than SS
