And your point is?

That the film's generous length isn't necessarily detrimental to it's commercial success...

I tend to agree, while 2049's pacing is much slower than those movies, I think the biggest reason for it's middling commercial success is that it is a philosophical hard(ish) sci-fi movie... That's never going to be very popular...

Probably could have edited 25 minutes out without too much difficulty, and gotten the run-time down to 2:15 or so. That probably would have helped with the middling commercial success.

Great and important movie, but given the nature and fanbase...not for everyone.

None of those were a flop except for BvS.

[–] bozo_500 (13390) 7 years ago

BvS made almost 900m lol

[–] Bubbathegut (18242) 7 years ago

So you are saying BvS was not a flop?

[–] bozo_500 (13390) 7 years ago

it would've been had it cost about 500m to make. but it didn't

[–] Bubbathegut (18242) 7 years ago

BvS is still a flop considering it had Batman and Superman. BvS only made 52 million more than Wonder Woman. Its pretty much a flop.

[–] ArmadilloKnight (456) 7 years ago

I consider BvS a flop, even if mathematically it didn't flop. TDKR, a solo Bat movie, managed to make over 1 billion. Next you have a movie that features three of the most iconic heroes, yet it's not capable of reaching 1B.

[–] Bubbathegut (18242) 7 years ago

Everyone knows it flopped.

[–] ArmadilloKnight (456) 7 years ago

Exactly, how the hell is Avatar a flop?

[–] StarWarsRey (566) 7 years ago

Yeah, none of these is a flop...
