underperforming

It's not even coming out on HBO MAX international either right? That really is bad.

While I certainly admit Its very hard to judge any films box office during this pandemic and call it a FLOP or under performing..

But, In WW1984's case Its certainly under performing even by Pandemic standards

I remember saving a post a few years back when I was Abusing Queen shorty after WW1 and Black Panther came out where I predicted both WW2 and BP2 would make less than Their predecessors because BOTH films got Massive BUMPS in box office from Their Cultural Impacts, Women in WWs case and from African Americans in BBs case....I felt very confident neither films sequel would be able to make as much as Their predecessors ...I saved the convo of course because Queen Laughed and thought it was just beyond crazy that WW2 would make less than WW1

So my point for bringing this up is....I always felt WW2 would make Less than WW1 even in a pre-covid world

a pre-covid prediction for me would have something like----

OW---$120 to 135 M

Total domestic---315 to 340 Million

WW----700 to 750 Million


Looking at the way Tenet and Mulan performed in China during this Pandemic.....WW84 is just badly under performing

WBs decision to release WW84 on X-Mas on HBO Max I would think surely has something to do with it Under Performing this badly....It just doesnt make sense to go see this in theaters if you can watch it on TV basically for 1/5 of the price.....I mean, The Majority of WW84s box office is going to be from Families taking their kids to see this over the holidays...

If your a Family of 4 or more....WB basically Gave you EVERY reason NOT to go see this in theaters

Why would Parents pay 40 to 50 dollars for their whole family to go see WW84 in theaters when they can literally sit at home and Order HBO Max for month for 15 dollars and end up paying 1/5 of what its costs to go to theaters

Why would parents take the risk of their child getting Covid to see WW84 in theaters when they can watch it at home at the same time and be 100% safe

WB just shit the bed here

How can the 'performance' of a movie be judged this year?

It opened in 35 international markets, but we don't know which of those have lock downs. It should play at least a month, so grandma should be vaccinated and her kids don't have to worry about killing her. People under 30 are least at risk but they can spread it.

Not to worry, they will be blaming white men anyway.

You can't say underperforming without knowing the future of movies.
