Serious question in light of Joker 2's release... is anybody else wondering how bad Batgirl must have been for WB to can it?

Not really... but I do wonder why WB gave up on releasing Salem's Lot into theaters... there's a chance that might have cut into the Joker.

Baseball playoffs and college football probably had a bigger effect than SALOT, even that's very litle.

Missed opportunity. King's fanbase is still big... also Batgirl cost $90M, Joker 2 cost $200M... (more inside)

You don't writeoff the sequel to an Oscar winner. TPHIL has made WB millions and has more clout than the Batgirl directing duo.

Fair point. Their tracking could have been off for similar reasons. Also maybe showing it at Venice backfired and early mixed WOM hurt it.

TPHIL was also one of Zaslav's first post-takeover Hollywood filmmaker friends, I think EmpireCity had a point about TPHIL though...

Further proof that the standing ovation length watch is completely meaningless.

Brendan Fraiser as Firefly, Keaton doing more Batman stuff, J.K. Simmons back as Gordon...there's no way this was anything lower than 7.5/10
