lol

It didn't even make $34 Million, which was the lowest of the lowered predictions that was made after Friday night.

Anybody remember when they were saying this was going to crack $100 Million over the weekend?

Womp womp.

I hear they're blaming the Coronavirus, especially in the Asian markets.

Me Chinese. Me play joke. Me put Coronavirus in your Coke.

Since the beginning of Hollywood, more than 50% of movies are failures. 6ix, I am beginning to think you don’t understand that has nothing to do with being "woke":

Birds of Prey – Production Budget: $75,000,000 (worldwide box office is 1.1 times production budget)

Dolittle – Production Budget: $175,000,000 (worldwide box office is 0.9 times production budget)

The woke turds are a near 100% failure rate in the last four years, so that throws your theory right out the window, white knight.

How many comic book movies have been failures in the last decade, other than this one? What's the percentage there? Even just the DC Universe, which is known for putting out pretty mediocre properties outside of Batman movies. Not very high, is it?

The point, which Hollywood seems pretty slow to figure out for some reason, is that being woke almost assures that it will fail in the Box Office.

They should probably drop the propaganda and at least give their movies a fair shake if everything is just a coin toss. (Which a comic book movie in 2020 should never actually be).

Go ahead and show everybody how it's made its production budget back (and hardly scraped the marketing budget). That's cool. But the people who put up money for these things are interested in making money. Not just hoping that they'll make their initial investment back.

Here's a list of the top 50 comic book movies by total gross:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_superhero_films

Number 50 on that list?

The terrible X2, from 2003.
https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/X-Men-2-(2003)#tab=summary

Domestic Box Office: $214,949,694 ($324,741,574 adjusted for inflation)
International Box Office: $191,925,842 ($318,963,475 adjusted for inflation)
Worldwide Box Office: $406,875,536 ($676,190,520 adjusted for inflation)

Even if you don't count inflation, Birds of Prey isn't going to come anywhere near the revenue of the 50th placed Comic Book movie that was released 17 years ago when money was worth more.

X2 was awful, and it made that much. If you account for inflation, it made nearly $700 Million in today's dollars, and would move up to number 33 on that list.

X2 proves that you can make a terrible comic book movie and it will still sell a lot of tickets. But Birds of Prey is just more proof that when you add "woke" agendas to it, it's dead before it even hits the theaters.

I enjoy Margo well enough, but she's not a box office draw for me..if she's in a movie..fine, but I'm not pulling the wallet out, or even my time to watch, just cause she's in it...and for all the movies Marvel franchise has tossed out there, and all the times they've shown DC side how to make a super hero movie, DC folks just can't seem to get it right..or even close... I've watched Suicide Squad 3 times...of the various DC flicks.. it's one of their betters...anything batman/superman post Christian Bale doesn't even play well, tedious, boring fight scenes, etc...so, no...not heading to the theater to see Birds..and if it's a boring night, I might pull it up on itunes come the day...and that'll be even later when it's rental, not buy.
as for Woke... I can't even figure out where to stay in the lines when I color on a Woke coloring book...so I could care less what qualifies as being a sensitive cosmo Beta-boy... I'm just a confessed old school alpha I guess with an incredible wife, 3 daughters and 7 grandaughters who experience support from me, for sports, archery, firearms, musicianship, leadership, science, etc...my world of women have been "woke" , supported, enabled, admired, free, long before "woke" was a thang...

Hey all...

You remember that ridiculous woke title I referenced in the OP?

Shame on you. WB doesn't want you to remember.

https://www.ign.com/articles/birds-of-prey-title-change-harley-quinn

The new movie title is "Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey"

It's new and improved! It's a whole new movie, we swear!

lol

Nice try, fuckers. Nobody wants to see your shit movie no matter what you call it. Maybe whoever hires McGregor for his third flop movie in a row will put a muzzle on his hypocritical whorish mouth.

Keep trying to blame the Coronavirus for the horrible numbers you're pulling in, you dumb woke cucks, despite the fact it never got a release in China in the first place. Nobody is buying that, just like nobody is buying tickets to your movie.

Have a nice day.

Four days...

Monday's numbers:

$2,160,176 total gross
$510 per theater

To put that in perspective, it took Episode 9 three weeks to drop that low for the per theater average and a full twenty five days to make that small a daily gross.

It took Joker twenty five days to drop that low for both the per theater average and the daily gross.

And there was zero competition this week other than movies that have already been out for three weeks, unless you include Gretel and Hansel that nobody is going to see either.

Looking forward to a big laugh when Sonic the Hedgehog destroys Birds of Prey next week.

I'm not interested in a Sonic movie myself, but I've got to give the people involved in the creation of the movie a lot of credit for listening to the fans and making the redesign. I know that Jim Carrey has been pretty woke in the past, and undoubtedly still is, but due to the nature of this movie it doesn't seem like he's got any reason or even the opportunity to say stupid stuff that will ruin the good will generated after the production team did such extensive redesigns to the titular character.

Seriously though... what were they thinking with that first one. It looks like something out of one of my sleep paralysis nightmares.

I don’t know jack about pikachu , but I still bothered to go watch the movie.
No interest in Sonic. Glad they fixed the animation.

Wow. You went to see Pikachu? Were you taking kids with you or something, or just really bored that day?

I couldn't tell you a single thing about Pokemon other than all of those kids who had seizures on Japan from watching it before they fixed it when it was brought to the states, and that there were about 100 games made based off of it. Even though the cartoon was really just an advertising vehicle, I'm sure they built up enough "lore" to make some actual movies out of them.

I didn't grow up with a Genesis, but I had a few friends who did and we played a lot of Sonic. There wasn't much story back then with the games, but they've been making Sonic games (that don't get very good reviews) long after we got to the systems where you can make something much more in depth... so maybe there's a lot more to go off of than there was back in the 90's.

Sometimes it's good to have nothing at all to go off of though. People seem to have finally started to come around to Super Mario Bros. the movie and it's developed a cult following. I've always loved that flick, and after the internet came out it was fascinating to learn what a train wreck the production was.

If you get a chance, you should watch this video.

I wonder what the movie would have been like if they straddled that R-Rating line, didn't get cold feet, and went with the original script that Bob Hoskins and others had signed on for.

I wonder if this is true.

I waited for and then didn't see Birds of Prey. I won't see it.

I have no interest in seeing Sonic. I'm indifferent as to how it does but I do appreciate the effort the studio put to making changes after the initial trailer was panned harshly, for good reason, and then making good w/ the fans.

I hope the fans enjoy their movie.
