Explain my hyperbole. Look up the extended cut that is possibly coming to theaters that is primarily slated for the Blu Ray (possibly gaining it an R rating). Secondly, It was common knowledge that this movie has to gain a billion to be considered generally profitable because of the larger budget outside of the actual movie development itself.
"Well according to Peter Bart at Deadline, you're talking pretty close to a billion dollars; he estimates that it will likely break even in and around the $800 million mark, which is an insane number. But the studio will be looking at the film as a catalyst for a series that will ultimately create a new universe of heroes and anti-heroes - Suicide Squad drops in August, Wonder Woman is currently in production." |
No, it is not common knowledge that it needs close to a bilion. It's the claims of Marvel's irrational fans that every superhero movies should do Avengers numbers or else they're considered failures both at the BO and finacially. The fact that we know for sure is that the movie cost 250M to make. The rest is hearsay and assumptions based on nothing official. Even your quote says that a guy, with no ties to WB, gives an estimate with a number taken from his ass.
As for the extended version, this is a rumor (about having a run in theater). In fact, you base most of your arguments on rumors and hearsay and take them as facts. It's actually telling me you approach this matter with an agenda. Which is why I think it is futile to continue discussing this with you.
