| crissindahouse said: I was in the pre-release of the movie, paid for the most expensive seats in a very expensive cinema. It's not as if my wish was to see a movie I and many others wouldn't like so that word-of-mouth would cost it hundreds of millions in revenue. The movie will be profitable but it will make a whole lot less as almost everyone would have guessed. Or do you think there is a guy at Warner who really thought a year ago "hey, BvsS, this won't reach $1bn". So, the movie will make less as everyone would have guessed, many didn't like that movie much and most critics seem to hate it. This is simply not a success in my eyes, profitable or not. And when people try to defend it with "hey, but only 24 movies made $1bn before" I just have to laugh since we all know that the market is now a totally different as even 5 years ago with China and compared to 10+ years it's totally different because of different markets and ticket price inflation. That one of the biggest movies of all time won't reach the top 30 is already not that great but that it wouldn't even be in the top 100 or something like that if other movies would have released in 2016 and not in the past with worse circumstances is just bad. Even Deadpool could maybe beat it with a release in Japan and China. Deadpool beating Batman and Superman almost released at the same time. There is really not much positive you can say about BvsS's "success" (sure, Deadpool was a huge surprise but still) Revenue of DVD/Blu-Ray and so on will be also lower because of the dissatisfaction of so many. |
Sounds like a last ditch bitter attempt at criticism to me.
