Sure. No denying Joker was a huge hit. But you keep comparing DC to Marvel saying DC has a stronger slate, which they don't.

Posted by: FabioParme on Feb 08, 07:45 in response to VictorY's post "Joker" made a billion of a 55+ million budget,...

And as long as you are blind to it, there's also no point in trying to argue. Others tried in the past with no success. And even after the Birds of Prey flop, you can't admit you were wrong.

Pretty sure you will come back in a few months when Wonder Woman 2 is a hit (which nobody says it won't) to brag about DC again.

Birds of Prey may be PC (which really sucks). Early fan reviews have it as "all men bad, only women good" which was on my PC checklist. VictorY Feb 08, 07:14

I had so much faith in this, but alas, the film may be going the "Charlie Angels" route, instead of "Deadpool." (sad face) {nm} VictorY Feb 08, 07:21

Weren't you the one bragging about DC having a better and stronger slate of movies going forward than Marvel? {nm} FabioParme Feb 08, 07:30

Well -- they were. This is going to be a setback though. Its also a huge hit to the industry as a whole wanting fresh faces. VictorY Feb 08, 07:32

DC already had a huge franchise miss. It's called Justice League. FabioParme Feb 08, 07:39

"Joker" made a billion of a 55+ million budget, which was incredible. Alas, the films needed to keep being good, not PC {nm} VictorY Feb 08, 07:41

Good chance none of Marvel's future titles beat "Joker"s total worldwide haul.. WW2 will be huge (I picked it earlier as 2020's biggest) {nm} VictorY Feb 08, 07:54

I had faith in BOP (sue me) but if it turns out to be PC, its a huge letdown (I'll see the film on Feb. 18).. {nm} VictorY Feb 08, 07:55

You have no credible track record to base your prediction on after your Captain Marvel and now Birds of Prey big swing-and-misses. {nm} HurricaneKid Feb 08, 08:09

I never made a Captain Marvel prediction.. {nm} VictorY Feb 08, 08:11

I beg to differ: HurricaneKid Feb 08, 08:13

Those are warnings of what could happen. I never made a number call on CM. Remember, CM's numbers had to rebound late in Summer. {nm} VictorY Feb 08, 08:16

"CM is not beating WW's domestic take, won't even get close" is a prediction. A failed one at that. Own up to it. {nm} HurricaneKid Feb 08, 08:19

That was based on CM's numbers at the time.. Remember, it had to rebound late in Summer. {nm} VictorY Feb 08, 08:20

Cool story bro {nm} HurricaneKid Feb 08, 08:22

Oh, and that late summer rebound is complete BS. $416m of the $426m domestic total came before Endgame at end of April. You sir, are a liar. {nm} HurricaneKid Feb 08, 08:26

Dude, last year you repeated CM wouldn't beat WW and how big of a disappointment CM was. {nm} jamesbik333 Feb 08, 08:22

A quarter of board posts is arguments with himself. {nm} TerenceHill Feb 08, 18:01

Geeks & Gamers said Birds of Prey:Not Really Woke (Surprisingly)...they are all about woke videos. You are a DC fanboy & haven't seen it. {nm} jamesbik333 Feb 08, 07:59

I posted my checklist earlier, and BOP seems to have 2 items already off it. I also was excited for the new "Charlies Angels", also bad. {nm} VictorY Feb 08, 08:02

I think the general moviegoer has no interest in a BOP movie just like CA. Nobody under 30 cares about Charlie Angels, that's why it bombed {nm} jamesbik333 Feb 08, 08:06

I don’t think that’s the only reason it bombed. A big part of the target audience for Charlie’s Angels was horny guys. RogerMore Feb 08, 09:14

Maybe in 2000 but in 2020 if you are a honry guy you don't need to go to a movie, lol. One click on the old internet will solve that problem {nm} jamesbik333 Feb 08, 09:51

No one ever “needed” to go to a movie to solve that problem, but they still did. And like I said, it’s easy to find people who went to see RogerMore Feb 08, 10:21

Ahh..... I was wondering when you would start with the excuses.... Mr. I'm thinking a 200+. {nm} HurricaneKid Feb 08, 08:07

I didn't make the film, trust me.. I'm really wishing I had. All I have is the concept and characters to look at. {nm} VictorY Feb 08, 08:10
