Broken Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) One of the worst openings of all time for a 4000 theater wide release. Another BOMB for DC. The never-ending nightmare continues. Should Warner sell DC to other studio (Netflix?)? Will The Rock have another meltdown? Quote The animated superhero pic, from Warner Bros. and DC, opened on the lower end of expectations at the North American box office with an estimated $23 million. The marketing campaign certainly doesn’t lack for attention, with voice stars Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart embarking on a publicity blitz x Edited August 1, 2022 by Broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFC Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 DC's name alone is box office poison it seems But this isn't terribly unexpected, they didn't seem to know who they were marketing the movie towards and it's competing with the Minions.

rta1913 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I mean 23M domestic is not a bomb but then I just looked that the budget was 90M This won’t even break even. Honestly that’s what they get for giving too much freedom to The Rock. As if he were a big actor. I mean I know he has hits but it’s got more to do with the franchises and his co-stars and the actual quality of the film. Black Adam is probably gonna flop too, which is good. We need WBD to scrap EVERYTHING but The Batman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D_Man3379 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Every animated film has been bombing this year sans Minions. People would just rather wait to see this on streaming it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnoughSaid Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 If the budget wasn’t so high it would be good. Black Adam is going to flop too because The Rock is extremely overexposed and always serves the exact same thing in every project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveisdead9582 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 It’s not totally unexpected. It’s a movie aimed at kids on a concept that didn’t do all that well any other time something like it has been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorIce Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I am so bored of the overexposed and unfunny Kevin Hart/Dwayne Johnson dynamic. It's giving early 00's Ben Stiller/Owen Wilson crap comedy movie overload. ENOUGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
