I'll catch it in-flight somewhere.
I don't think DC can do the basics anymore.
And I'm a lifelong DC fan as so take from that what you will.
Evrything I have read is that test audience reactions have been very positive indeed. It looks like they may own the Christmas holiday season.
shareHey queen, Just wanted to give some Box office updates for you because several things happened this weekend that none which will make you happy.
First, Ready Player One, in every way came in Lower than you expected...
*1st, you were off by a Stunning(Yet Usual) Massive amount on its Opening Weekend, You horrifically Picked 85 M, instead RPO opened to 53 M(and only a 41 million 3 day weekend)Keep in mind, 41 million is what Power Rangers opened to, lol...ultimately you were off by a Whopping 32 M.
*2nd, you were positive RPO would be over 200 M by this weekend, Instead RPO is at 180 M WW
*3rd, You hilariously made up a complete lie saying RPO was going to make 250 M in China alone, Instead it made 61 M, A good result, but Will get nowhere close to 250 M
*4th, all hope is gone for your 700 M global box office prediction as box office analysts are already predicting a final gross between 500 to 600(which is exactly where I predicted)

@GiteshPandya
1h1 hour ago
Massive $61.7M opening wknd for #ReadyPlayerOne in China - biggest ever for WB there. $128M total intl opening wknd putting global debut at huge $181.2M. Germany and Japan still to open. $500-600M worldwide run possible."
5th, RPO is all but guaranteed to LOSE WB A Massive amount of money now....and thats based on YOUR OWN Scale...If you'll remember, You made a post where you claimed because SOLO cost 300 Million to make, It would need to gross at least 800 Million to break even....Well, it was just reported, Ready Player One cost WB between 300-325 Million total...Which of course means RPO needs to make as you said "800 M to Break Even"...also keep in mind Justice League cost at least 300 Million, and made 657 M and we now know JL LOST WB at least 60 M...
So, WB is just in a terrible position With RPO, due to it costing SO MUCH MONEY...even though its having decent results, WB is gonna Lose probably at least 100 M + on it, If it tops out at 600 M WW...

"Here’s an amazing, original ode to virtual reality and everything that’s Spielberg based on Ernest Cline’s bestselling YA novel, and for weeks tracking had this pic in the scary range of $38M-$42M over 4-days which would be a truly atrocious start for this movie which cost all in between production and P&A $300M-$325M (Village Roadshow is co-shouldering production costs)."
^Here proof of RPOs Massive budget
Next just wanted to update you on another Film you tried Defending but has now taken A turn for the worst...Pacific Rim 2 had a Horrible Opening Weekend, but like usual you got desperate and tried to claim because it was A "Crowd Pleaser" it would "Leg out"
lol instead, PR 2 had An HISTORICALLY awful 70% drop in its second weekend which was by far the worst drop of the weekend...
"Exhibitor Relations
@ERCboxoffice
It was an amazing 2nd weekend for Universal's PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING--April Fools! Their robot jockey flick had the worst hold in the Top 10 dropping nearly 70% w/ $9M, $45M total."
lol RP2 wont even make 70 M Domestically now....talk about "Legging out"...nice call queen
Last just wanted to Update you on Another recent WB BOMB...Tomb Raider...it just barely crossed 50 Million domestically this weekend, and its Crawling to a stop around 250 M WW...Easily A Massive LOSS for WW
any ways thats it....just wanted to post all this awful news and all these things you were wrong about...
PS...just wanted to thank you again, for that SOLO thread you created where you claimed it needed to break 800 Million to Break even...
that thread has been a God Send to me and total nightmare for you...its officially Proved BY YOUR OWN SCALE that Justice League is a flop....Pirates 5 is a HUGE hit and Now Will Ultimately Prove Ready Player is A Huge FLOP, which will lose WB tons of money.
Thank you for that thread...It is officially on my top 3 biggest Backfires
"*3rd, You hilariously made up a complete lie saying RPO was going to make 250 M in China alone, Instead it made 61 M, A good result, but Will get nowhere close to 250 M"
Are you really this dumb or are you just trying to provoke me?
The 250 million in China was for it's entire run, numbnuts.

^^^OMG
You literally just tried to Insult by calling me DUMB.....YET it was you who misread by post and didnt understand it...
lol my statement was pointing out, RPO Opened to 61 Million..and I SPECIFICALLY said It Will get nowhere close to 250 M...
I 1000% knew you meant 250 Million for its entire run, thats why I specifically Pointed out RPOs opening weekend Then said "IT WILL" no where near 250 M WW...
If I thought you meant 250 M on opening Weekend as Your embarrassingly are suggesting, I would have said "IT GOT" nowhere near 250 Million...
you literally misread simply English...My statement was specifically quoted for the FUTURE, Not the Present....
I noted RPO's 61 m opening said "IT WILL get no where near 250 M WW...now maybe I could have been even more specific and said "With An opening Weekend of 61 M, RPO Will get nowhere near the 250 M in china you predicted"....But I just didnt think I needed to Baby you that much, I thought it was pretty clear, I under estimated your Stupidity....
But just to Put the final Nail in the coffin, just so you 100% know for sure I knew you were predicting 250 M as A Total Gross in China....heres another post from just 5 days ago where, I Specifically go into to detail that based on RPOs estimated 64 Million dollar opening weekend in china, It has to chance to make the 250 Million you predicted for its total....
[–] billbrown7071 (752)
Overseas? WOM in China is so good that some are speculating it will end up with 250 million in that market alone
^
ok you clearly just 100% made this up, considering China box office is nearly identical to Black Panther at around an estimated 64 M OW for RPO
Black Panther made a little over 100 M in China, RPO does seem to have better WOM, It wouldnt surprise if RPO made 150 M in China but Not 250 M

lol
ONLY you could fail this badly queen
ONLY you could call a person DUMB and suggest they didnt understand something, Yet It WAS YOU who didnt understand it!
lol you just didnt understand the simplest forms of English....The Specific quote of "IT WILL" instead of "IT GOT" literally flew directly over your head
lol and the best part and part that makes this and even bigger FAIL is, lol I have a another Post where its perfectly clear I knew your 250 M dollar prediction was a TOTAL China prediction...
queen, You know one of my favorite things to do is ABUSE by how much you MISS on Opening Weekends....I get great joy repeatedly bring up you MISSED by 81 M on BPs OW, MISSED by 71 M on The Last Jedi's OW, MISSED by 56 Million on JLs OW and Will get great future Joy repeatedly ABUSING with your 32 Million dollar MISS On RPOs OW....
dont you think If I actually thought you were predicting 250 Million on OW for China and Thought you MISSED by 189 Million dollars...I would literally be Posting in EVERY THREAD!
lol If I truly was "Dumb" like your suggesting, I thought you meant RPO was going to make 250 Million On OW....I would have literally Went crazy, relentlessly abusing you with MISSING by 189 M
instead, You never heard a Peep out of me, Not one mention of it....Why? Because I clearly knew your prediction was A TOTAL china Prediction
Instead of Pointing out you MISSED by 189 M dollars..I pointed out Based on RPOs 61 M dollar opening Weekend, It Will get nowhere close to 250 M that you predicted....
You truly just didnt understand, Which is ok, nothing wrong with missing a point....EXCEPT if you HILARIOUSLY call the other person out for Being DUMB and Missing the point when it was in fact YOU who were DUMB and completely MISSED the point....
Judging Epic Fails on a scale from 1 to 10.....This is a 9.5
It's YOUR reading comprehension that is clearly lacking. I made what is called a PREDICTION about China.
How can that be a "lie"?
Lol...embarrassing indeed.
Anyone reading this "lie" comment would assume you were accusing me of claiming it HAD ALREADY MADE THAT.
It's YOUR reading comprehension that is clearly lacking. I made what is called a PREDICTION about China.
How can that be a "lie"?
^^^
you claimed "some are speculating it will end up with 250 million in that market alone"
you didnt make a prediction, You Literally made a LIE to make it sound like RPO was going to do good...
show me 1 Box office analyst or person who understands box office that was predicting or speculating that RPO was going to make 250 M in China 5 days ago....
had you simply said, "I think RPO is going to make 250 M in China"....I would not have said you were lying, I would have just made fun of YOU for another awful prediction...
but instead you tried to claim, OTHER people were claiming/predicting a 250 M dollar gross, and its clear why you did this, You knew 250 M was impossible, You knew it was absurd, So you wanted to put someone else on the prediction, You wanted to make it seem like "Others" NOT YOU are predicting 250 M
but the facts are, no credible person predicted a 250 M gross in China...Maybe, MAYBE on the random thread or site you saw someone with literally no credibility say "Wow, with WOM like this, a 250 M gross is possible"...but when you say "some are speculating it will end up with 250 million in that market alone"...the "Some" you are referring to NEEDS to be some credible, someone with some kind of box office knowledge or history...
I suspect, its just a complete lie...I suspect, there is no "Some" or "Someone"...I think you just wanted to make it seem like RPO was going to do better in the long run, so you made up a complete lie suggesting RRO could make 250 M in China...
If you can show 1 credible person that 5 days actually said 250 M is a likely out cume for RPO in China....I will apologize for saying you LIED, I will not take back my stance though, as 250 M in China is impossible, I will simply say whomever you quoted must have been HIGH(If in fact he/she is credible)
again I dont expect you to actually post anyone credible as I believe you just made it up, But I am giving you the chance to prove me wrong, show where a box office analyst or some credible person predicting a 250 M dollar gross china gross 5 days ago...and I'll apologize for calling you a lier...key word here though is "credible"...NOt some random fan on a site, it has to be someone who has box office knowledge, I go by the same standards, I never quote any box office predictions unless they are made by proven box office analysts or sites

Good lord. billybrown7071 you are an obnoxious twat. There is something very wrong with you and It's disturbing. If your behavior on here is any inclination of the real-world little billy brown god help us.
^^
Block me...
If I found someone as "Obnoxious" as you find me, I'd simply Block me so I didnt have to see this "Obnoxious" poster or posts again....
it seems more likely I said something that bothered you and your just trying to get back at me...
I've been a regular on the IMDB and now here for 8 years...I too have found posters "Obnoxious" or found posters behavior so Odd I dont care to see them anymore...But when this happens I just immediately block them so I dont have to see them anymore.
I dont do it often, because most times, posters like queen who are Immature Trolls, I enjoy responding to and making thier life hell...but there are times as you said, some is just "Obnoxious" and you have no need to see anything they say....
I just block them, I dont write them some message telling them how "Obnoxious" they are and how I dont care about anything they and how "God needs to help us"....theres no need I can make them go away with 1 click...
again, if I really was "Obnoxious" as you say, I'd simply maybe get this one message from you and then you block me and Id never hear from you...but I suspect, you'll continue to message me and tell me how "Obnoxious" and pretend like you dont care what I say...
but I suggest YOU PROVE you dont care, PROVE I really am "Obnoxious" and just block me now and never have to see me or my "Obnoxious" posts again!
[deleted]
I wont continue to message you and in fact upon reflecting on me calling you out as "an obnoxious twat" I realize it isn't my place to be dishing out insults.
^^
thank you for not messaging me anymore.
also there is no "Their"....Its just queen.
Queen Is one of the top 5 trolls I've came across in my 8 years on forums...I find his obsession/hatred for Disney to be extremely odd...
Queen has chosen for some ODD Reason to troll on Disney....the problem is though, Disney is so successful right now, Disney is basically troll proof, this results in queen having to create weird Scales and Criteria to try and Troll on Disney
I then get great Joy taking whatever Scale or criteria Queen comes up with to troll on Disney, and Flipping it on him and applying to movies he loves...
Example...a few months ago Queen created a troll thread where he claimed "SOLO" was going to flop...He then went on in the thread to explain, because SOLO was heavily reshot with a production budget over 300 M and marketing over 100 M, he Claimed SOLO would need to at least make 800 M to break even, which he claimed was unlikely.
the funny part about this is....this thread, The SCALE queen created to troll on Disney....DOOMED a film he had just spent 3 months defending
Justice League a film made by Warner Brother, came out in November to awful box office results, Queen spent over 3 months defending it , claiming it was doing great and would dominate
the thing queen didnt realize was when he made he "SOLO" troll thread was...He just Perfectly Described Justice League TOO....As Justice League had the exact same Budget as SOLO....Justice League had a budget over 300 million due to being heavily reshot and marketing costs between 100 to 150 M...literally IDENTICAL to SOLO
The Problem for queen is....Justice League ONLY made 657 M total.....Which is 143 Million dollars less than The "BREAKING EVEN" point set by Queen himself
Queen created a Troll thread to troll on Solo and Disney, but instead accidentally DOOMED A Film he spent 3 months defending...Queens exact same Scale when applied to Justice League proves JL is a FLOP and Lost Money
Example 2...In a desperate attempt to troll on Disney queen created a thread where he claimed Disneys got to be disappointed about "A Wrinkle in Time Flopping" and Devouring much of the profit they made from Black Panther.....queen knew Black Panthers box office was so successful he couldnt troll on it, So he tried to find a different way to troll, Claim much of the profit made was lost....again just a weird and desperate Scale he created...
I then took that exact same scale and Applied it to WB( a studio queen loves and defends)...
I point out if Disney is disappointed by Wrinkle Flopping and devouring some of Black Panthers Profits, Then WB has to be on Suicide Watch after having 5 Massive Flops in King Arthur,Geostorm, Blade Runner and Justice League that Surely DEVOURED every cent of Profit made on Wonder Woman...
I pointed out that if according to queen Disney is "disappointed" with a Year where they made 5 films that grossed over 1 Billion dollars and 3 that groseds over 800 Million and had a ratio of 10 to 1 when it comes to hits to flops
then again all hope must be lost for WB coming off a year when they had no Billion dollar Films(none in the last 5 years) and Had 4 Massive Flops that All lost HUNDREDS of millions of dollars, A year where WB went about 5-4 when it comes to hits to flops
these are just 2 examples of Queens failures....
Queen is my only target no one else, I even admit my behavior is immature, but I just dont care, Queen is an ODD troll, and an AWFUL troll, as long as he trolls, I'll be there to point out the problems with his trolling and Flip his trolling on him...
Queen is also the single worst predictor of box office I've ever come across in 8 years on these boards, I've never seen anyone fail as badly as queen does on a near 100% basis....queen has made hundreds of box office predictions in the last 6 months for 6 movies(JL,Thor 3,TLJ,BP,RPO and TR)...Not 1 has came true, He MISSES by near 70 Million dollars when predicting Opening Weekend for films...
simply put, If queen continues making box office predictions, I find it my duty to brutal make fun of him for his disastrously awful predictions...
just wanted to clarify my stance on queen ....since you wont be replying to me anymore, Goodbye
Hey Bill "Master of the English Language" Brown...please don't try to edit out your embarrassing misuse of the word "lie".
Also, for the millionth time, the contraction for "you are" is "you're" NOT "your".
"You're" welcome.
"*3rd, You hilariously made up a complete lie saying RPO was going to make 250 M in China alone, Instead it made 61 M, A good result, but Will get nowhere close to 250 M"
Here's another tip, Bill...after accsuing me of telling a "lie" which implies that I said the 250 million HAS ALREADY HAPPENED, you then go on to say 'Instead it made 61M". Remember...a "prediction" cannot be a "lie". You said my 250 million prediction was a "LIE"...and then said "INSTEAD it made 61M".
Yes...I understand you then say it will get nowhere close but wow...that is some kooky sentence construction and line of thinking.
P.S. If you think 250 million is impossible coming out of a 62 million opening in China when WOM is on fire, then you truly don't understand China box office.
This paragraph here is key:
While the positive screening comes as an early relief, fans should keep in mind that Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad and Justice League were all well-received at their test screenings as well, only to be critically-panned.
DC really messed up doing this the opposite way of Marvel. By doing the 'combined universe' films first then going back and doing the stand alone. Batman V Superman, Suicide Squad, and Justice League had too much work to do in basically forcing the characters together. Marvel, despite the varying quality of individual films, spent years teasing the cinematic universe with just little bits in dedicated individual films.
I guess I get that DC may have been worried about getting criticized for "just copying" Marvel if they repeated their formula, but Marvel's way obvious worked just so much better. Now basically anything in the Marvel Universe is a guaranteed success. Besides that, Marvel films just have way more fun to them. DC films are too dark and 'brooding', which is fine for the people that want it, but I think MORE people like lighter and fun movies like Guardians of the Galaxy. Not that just because more people like something is any reflection of quality, I admit.
Actually, the strategy itself is a perfectly good idea on paper. Start with Batman, Superman, and Justice League, the most popular and "pre-sold" properties on hand, and use them to introduce characters who don't have such a large fan base as Bats. Obviously the problem with that strategy was the quality of the films, not the order in which they were released.
But I'll probably see "Aquaman" in the theaters anyway, even though I've hated all the fun-free DC films and think they all sucked except "Wonder Woman". Two hours of forgetting my troubles in the company of the hottest man on Earth is worth ten bucks.
I LOVE keyboard battles - and it seems like the superhero film boxoffice threads have the biggest battles of all - it's like a nuclear war here.
