Nah. I've seen that article before. It's based off this When To Stream article that came out on the 1st.

https://www.whentostream.com/news/blue-beetle-digital-release-date-con
firmed


That site looks sketch to me.

They're the ones who first announced the September 19th release date, but if you look now you'll see other articles based off of just as dubious sources that say it was moved back a week to the 26th.

Game rant also said "Despite the initial disappointment, Blue Beetle’s box office is on track to surpass Shazam 2: Fury Of The Gods", which is something I've been arguing that it probably isn't going to do. The only thing that can save it from losing that near-pointless battle is the Australian and New Zealand box offices.

And Game Rant also says that it made its production budget back. This is also not true. The Production Budget was $120 Million. Not $104 Million.

https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Blue-Beetle#tab=summary

It will finally make its production budget back whenever Bruce updates the international numbers today, so it didn't make the budget back until day 30 or day 31.



The Direct (?) says that it was moved to the 26th, and based it off of a youtube video that is no longer available.

Who knows?

I can't imagine that anybody is going to care about that movie. I wonder how big the budget was.

It's not the 19th yet, so what are those?

Bootlegs, or did somebody leak it illegally?

When I asked if somebody leaked it illegally, I mean did somebody from the studio or a movie theater leak it illegally?

The answer appears to be, "yes".

https://archive.ph/Rp7eR

RRNN92: "Woop woop"
Murky_Ad6343: "Nice, thanks!"
darthyogi: "No way really?"
-experfailist: "you're surprised?"
--darthyogi: "Yeah i guess things don't usually leak this early."
Beldub: "Restorethesnyderverse :)"



Wow. Warner Bros. can't be happy about that.

I know it's going to be taken down immediately, but the full movie has been uploaded to YouTube only 4 hours ago.


Thanks for that, actually.

I can't believe that we wouldn't have been reading about this leak soon, unless WB tried to cover up the leak and just go forward with releasing it online tomorrow instead of the 26th and deleting the reddit and YouTube thread.

But you heard it here first, folks!



Somebody is probably going to prison. Hope it was worth it. I got my entertainment for the day.

Welp... Stick a fork in 'er, she's done.

Any extra money Blue Beetle might have made from the better than I expected Domestic box office last week was lost and then some with the Australia/New Zealand numbers that came out for opening weekend. $717,019 in Australia, $182,245 in New Zealand... about half of what Shazam II did.

It doesn't look like much international reporting has come out for this movie over the weekend too. It's been a real bad weekend all around for international reporting so far.

We're at $120,418,050 Worldwide right now. It may have cracked $122 Million once the numbers do come in.

It still needs $11.7 Million to beat Shazam II. And with the news of an illegal leak of the movie going online yesterday, I doubt very much that's going to happen.

The only hope that it's got is that there are a lot of international receipts out there that haven't been counted yet. If you saw my update to the Disney thread late last night, Disney just got about $28 Million in international receipts for half a dozen movies that have been out of theaters anywhere from a week to 6 months this weekend. It could be that Blue Beetle gets a few extra million long after it's out of theaters to get enough it would need to not be Warner Bros. least successful Superhero movie in the box office.

The first person deserving arrest and imprisonment is the screenplay writer of Blue Beetle.

One place to download Blue Beetle from a bittorrent:

A review says:

Childish as Teletubbies meets Henry Danger

This is the worst thing I have ever seen.

The stereotypical Latino family thing that reminds me of a Fast and Furious surrogate scenario but with clowns instead of braindead glorified criminals.

My eight year old was bored like hell. She is way smarter that the guys who thought this was a good idea. The portrayal of the Latin community showed here isn't very serious.

Stop posting illegal links to shit here, idiot. Just because it's woke crap nonsense doesn't make it alright.

Blue Beetle BOM archive 9/22 morning: https://archive.ph/SUWfv
Blue Beetle the-numbers 9/22 morning: https://archive.ph/JvdGa

Still behind on international reporting for this one too, but the Domestic numbers are all up-to-date at least. Looks like 34% drop across the board over the last 7 days in the states.

From what we can see of the few internationals updated and the bad performance in Australia and New Zealand, it doesn't look good for Blue Beetle in the race to be the 2nd worst performing DC comic book movie.

The last possible saving grace for this movie now is how long it takes Bruce to get international numbers sorted on movies. I don't see $10 Million hiding anywhere like one of the Disney films that has long been retired, especially since unlike Sound of Freedom and Talk To Me, Bruce actually has more money reported so far than BoxOfficeMojo does, but it could happen.


Blue Beetle loses only 433 theaters this week and still remains in an almost inexplicable 1,953 theaters, when it just barely cracked $100 per theater on Cheap Seat Tuesday and made $57 per theater yesterday.

I say almost inexplicable, because nobody goes to the movies this time of year and it doesn't really matter what they're showing. Barbie was still in 3,012 theaters last night and only made $315k. Expend4bles just had a pathetic $750k preview night and couldn't even beat The Nun II's third Thursday $925k.

But looking back on the other Expendables movies, low preview nights seem to be a thing. The first one only got $870k on preview night and still grossed nearly $35 Million. Returns were diminishing from there though, and Expendables 3 only grossed $16 Million with $875,000k on preview Thursday.

I think it's going to beat The Nun II this weekend, but probably not by all that much. It has been 9 years since the last movie though (wow)... Maybe people are hungry for more with all that time in between.
