Based on the trailers and few tv commercials I've seen it looks like BvS + Watchmen, but even less coherent. That's my true opinion.

You are free to disagree.  Based on online buzz tracking metrics, I'm sure millions of people do.

My main beef is the comparisons to Deadpool and GOTG.  Both of those were light in tone, with fun being a main selling point, which is why both exploded way past expectations.  SUICD seems to be a darker, more serious take.  Maybe it's really good and winds up like Batman Begins/Dark Knight.  Along with BvS and Man of Steel those seem like better comparative material to me.

If it does 94m like guardians it's a decent short at current price. I think it does 115ish+ {nm} Hersheybar Jul 12, 19:24

With a title like that, it's not going to have the kids/family audience of Guardians... {nm} diamondman56 Jul 12, 19:36

If they can capture 80% of the deadpool OW audience...... MattW Jul 12, 19:50

Deadpool looked like it was going to be a lot of fun based on the advertising (and it was) shadowking Jul 12, 19:56

It's a matter of opinion, so doesn't mean it's not true - just depends on what you like. {nm} JDolphin Jul 12, 22:16

its been leaked that DC has done reshoots to make the movie lighter and given direction to future films for that direction {nm} Moviesnob Jul 12, 22:21

The commercials I've seen so far haven't shown that. {nm} JDolphin Jul 12, 23:57

The trailers are dreadful. They've convinced me completely to not see the movie. I agree, it's pretty subjective. {nm} goodvibe61 Jul 13, 07:07

I'm just saying that we know thats not what they are going for and its because most people thought the trailers were fun Moviesnob Jul 13, 08:54

If this is a fan service movie, it will open 3 digits...easy. TwoMisfits Jul 12, 20:38

+1, the comparisons to GOTGX are just to clue in people who thought this would only get $60M, or thought it'd suffer another box office flop {nm} chosenone2oo5 Jul 13, 02:36
