The only way they are reassuring investors is by cutting out movies that aren't part of the DCCU and doubling down on the latter. |
You do realise that if some Disneys investors consider 800M+ profit a failure that theres no way in hell any Warner investor consider BvS a sucess at all right ? Also everything is relative, the Disney execs probably whanted the same or more money than Avengers 1, but the movie wasn't that great, it was just an OK movie, and that cost some money. So we had a possible 1.6B+ BO movie doing 1.4B. BvS case is that to the 10th scale, we have a possible 1.5+B movie doing less than 1B (aparently its tracking to low 900M now with the Friday BO results and the predictions for this weekend) and bringing the studio less money than a movie they considered wasnt a good return (Man of Steel) for an investment that is much biger than both Man of Steel and even Avengers Age of Ultron.
However it seens the majority of execs at disney liked the return and the direction of the MCU, since the fallout of this situation was them firing the producer that wanted to reduce the Marvel movies budget and letting Feige get even more money than initialy planed for Civil War. If they didnt like the returns Marvel was giving they wouldnt be raising the budgets.
Again put things in eprspective if Disney considers 1.4 B BO from a 220M budget movie "underperforming", what do you think Warner is feeling about a 250M budget film that is probably gona end its BO run on the low 900M range.
