Yeah, DC moving to March is smart. It avoids direct competition, gives it pretty much one month to make as much coin as it can. Not to mention Easter and Spring break to help with box-office.

DC was just being smart. Why compete directly with a Marvel movie? It'll just eat into potential profits.

The Batman v Superman move by Warners obviously avoids a face-off with Marvel's increasingly seemingly unbeatable properties. It had long been assumed that either BvS or Cap 3 would move, and now we have our answer as to who blinked first.

playa1258
Yep. Smart business move by DC.

Yup, WB blinked. The fans keep saying it's not because they're chicken but about being smart. Yes it's a smart move, but they didn't want to do that. They wanted to pick a fight to show fans that their movie was so much more epic that it would force Marvel to move their movie that they had scheduled first. WB picked the same week as that of Marvel's movie knowing full well that it would take some revenue from both movies since they share the same audiences. They did anyways. But now that Guardians of the Galaxy has been a hit, WB is shaking and chickened out. They couldn't finish the fight they started and ran. DC fanboys: No! It's a smart business decision, not chicken move! LMAO

well with cap 3 being powered by age of ultron, the likelihood of chris evans' final time as Cap and Winter Soldier opening up to $95 million, one can reasonably assume that Cap 3 can and very well could have an opening weekend of $120 million ,if not more

"WB picked the same week as that of Marvel's movie knowing full well that it would take some revenue from both movies since they share the same audiences.", this is a very odd statement.

Do you really think there's a sizable amount of people (that would make a difference) who absolutely wouldn't go see Batman Vs Superman in the theater just because they previously watched Cap3?

At the end of the day a major factor is the amount of screens each cinema complex has.

Major blockbusters can have up to 4 screens showing the same feature...then you have the sessions broken into 2D & 3D screenings.

No theatre complex is going to show just 2 features (Cap3 & Supes/Bat) on all their screens for x amount of weeks.

We'll see in 2016 which film makes more money. Cap has a chance if B V S sucks, and Cap 3 rocks.

But really B V S doesn't want to compete with Cap. It (ideally) wants Avengers type business.

But a film like Cap could take B V S down a couple hundred million. And vice versa. And whilst Marvel could afford the hit with just one of it's big properties- Cap. WB can not afford to take a hit on B V S, as it's their potential biggest hit to date and is going to kick off their Shared Cinematic Universe.

Put simply B V S is far more important to WB than CAP 3 is to Marvel.

Except that it isn't just Cap. It's tied in to the Avengers and the Marvel shared universe. If Cap 3 bombs, Marvel won't take a hard hit.

WB has far more to lose if this movie bombs than Marvel/Disney does with Cap.

Should they have gone against Cap and the MCU in the first place? No, as they aren't direct competition right now, and are well behind in developing their universe. They were right to move, and I'm sure WB will have trouble consoling themselves with all the extra money they'll be making now that they're unopposed.

If you could get over your hate, you'd see that. It is just cap. It isn't an avengers film and just because marvel has built an on screen empire don't hold their success against them.

It isn't just Cap though; it's part of a franchise. A franchise that backs it up.

Batman and Superman is a sure thing and if Cap originally had the date and they moved it onto the same date as Cap and then changed it they just made themselves look like bigger jackasses.

Don't pick a fight you can't finish. They set up the date as the same weekend marvel originally slotted Cap three for then backed down showing trepidation.

Once again, the Marvel brand has asserted its dominance over DC. Warner Bros. just announed that the highly anticipated Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has been moved. The film will no longer go head to head with Marvel's Captain America 3 on May 6, 2016. Instead, the former will open March 25, way ahead of the summer rush.

The March release date will give Batman v Superman plenty of breathing room at the box office. When Warner Bros. first staked its claim on May 6, it seemed adamant about not budging. Perhaps Guardians of the Galaxy's stellar performance last weekend reiterated that even Marvel's lesser-known properties can bring in the big bucks. They're a studio that shouldn't be taken lightly.


Not my words yet another sources.

What? Cap is more a sure thing than SvB, as it has the Avengers behind it. SvB has more to lose. So they moved to a period where they'd make a shit-load more money. Struggling to see how that's a bad decision.

Marvel had it first. But it was an unknown/untitled film when WB announced B v S was moving to the same date.

I guess WB assumed it was going to be some new title like Dr. Strange or Black Panther. Still putting it on the same date as any Marvel film was silly to begin with. On that much I agree with the Troll/DC Hater.

This was a smart move for D.C. actually if the 2 had to compete at the same time im sure The D.C. movie would win out but at the same time take a huge knock on the head from cap 3 and this they do not need.

I firmly believe D.C. needs to slow down and start with one franchise at a time. They had success with MOS now work on a solo wonderwoman franchise mabey flash,GL,shazam and aquaman. Rushing things to play catch up is not a good idea. I also feel D.C. needs to stop catering to the 15- 30 year olds. Cater to everyone. Till they do this marvel will destroy them.


There are only so many teenagers and young adults out there. Catering to one age group is not a good tactic.

abhilegend
Yeah, WB has made some smart decisions. Like using marvel studio's hard work in establishing a general awareness of superhero movies to their advantage. The general public would see nearly any Superhero movie nowadays. When you look back to the earnings of Batman Begins, Cap 1, Thor 1, IM1 and to GOTG, there is a huge amount of difference. That's marvel studio's hard work and now that general awareness would help DC movies too. Bravo marvel.


What in internet terms is "Marvel left DC behind" is actually "DC is going to make huge profits without risking anything of their own movies while taking advantage of marvel's hard work."

Sure, they are behind some years but that's neither here nor there. I'm just happy to see some quality superhero movies.

WB was very smart in moving this film up. It gets basically 6 weeks to itself and should make some serious cash in that time. WB is going to market the hell out of this film(WB has arguably the best marketing in Hollywood) which will increase hype leading to a massive weekend.

This release date avoids one of the mistakes made with MOS namely, opening the week before two big openers that tore into it's audience(Monster's University,WWZ). I'm expecting this to be WB/DC's highest grossing comic film ever.

Funny thing is they actually are really taking their time but without giving us any new solo franchises. I mean Marvel got from IM1 to Avengers in 4 years. DC are going from MOS to just B v S in 3 years. So it will be at least 4 years from MOS to JL anyway LOL.

But yes, they do need some solo franchises first. But I don't think they need to make ALL of the above before JL. I mean Avengers only gave us 3 solo franchises before Avengers (well 4 if you include Hulk but that seemed to have finished after TIH).

So considering everyone knows who Batman and Superman are after decades of solo movies for them, new solo franchises for them are not really a necessity before JL. But the fact that we do have one for Superman and getting another for both of them with B v S, that will more than suffice for those 2 Pre-JL.

So really they just need 1 or 2 other solo franchises. I'd personally go for Wonder Woman and The Flash. Because there already is a GL movie- I know it was bad, but it would be suicide trying that again before gaining more popularity for the character through JL. But fact is that solo movie is out there. And I think you can introduce a couple of them (like Cyborg, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter) in the JL or in B v S. That's not too bad. Iron Man introduced us to BLack Widow and Nick Fury. Avengers will introduce us to Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch and Vision next year.

So yeah all they need to do is to give us 1 Flash movie and 1 Wonder Woman movie before JL. Which they could easily give us in the next 2-3 years before JL!

Unfortunately the fact that Wonder Woman is being introduced in B v S, and they've opted for a Flash tv series, instead of a solo movie, means that's not going to happen.

We can just hope that whatever the Rock is involved with will be at least 1 other Solo franchise Pre-JL that will be part of JL too.

Marvel had the date first from what I hear making Dc's movie dumb since they picked a fight they didn't have the balls to finish.

It is the marvel characters vs the dc characters and will always be compared as such.

Acting like the boat ton of money marvel made is dc taking advantage if pretty dumb even from you. This is why no one takes you seriously with a scan to save your life. You're a moron.

Rushing things to play catch up is not a good idea. I also feel D.C. needs to stop catering to the 15- 30 year olds. Cater to everyone. Till they do this marvel will destroy them.




But the point is everyone is used to (maybe even fed up with?) the same formula that's always been used.
The first movie always having to be the hero's Origins story followed by the multiple villain story line.

I'd honestly like to see DC go straight to the Justice League & then maybe down the track do some simple flash-backs relating to each members' Origins.
Break the formula.

Cap is an Avenger. BW is an Avenger. Nick Fury and SHIELD were the ones who put the Avengers together. And ALL those characters made up Cap2. So of course it had Avengers behind it. As did IM3 being the first direct sequel to the Avengers and starring the Avengers and MCU's poster boy.

Fact is Avengers massively increased the popularity and demand for these characters.

That being said Cap2 was an awesome movie. Thor 2- not so much. Which is why Cap 2 beat Thor 2 at the box office.

Marvel had the date first from what I hear making Dc's movie dumb since they picked a fight they didn't have the balls to finish.

It is the marvel characters vs the dc characters and will always be compared as such.

Dc backed down and they picked the fight. Dumb move.

Cap 3 is an Avengers movie. It has that backing. You pretending it doesn't, doesn't magically make it not one.

lol, so angry.

only if you're petty enough that you pick one company over the other, rather than just trying to enjoy the wide selection of movies we've been given.

they moved, and will make more money. being smart is better than being prideful.

Avengers did increase the popularity of the characters but it doesn't give every marvel property a guaranteed blockbuster.

HAHAHA You're such a dumb ass troll!

Let me explain it to you. An Icon is a Symbol, a person or thing who represents something. In the case of Marvel comics, Captain America represents the Leader of all the Superheroes. Just like Superman does in DC Comics.

Where popularity changes from time to time, an Iconic status tends to be much longer lived in status.

And btw Cap's also just proven himself to also be the 2nd Most Popular Avenger after IM. So as far as the MCU goes IM and Cap are it's 2 Icons AND also happen to be the 2 most popular superheroes in the MCU as of now.

Clearly it's a sure thing. As proven by the Ultra Mega box office success of the crap that was IM3. Simply because IM was the star and poster boy of the Avengers. Cap 2 was a far better film. Heck Thor 2 was better, but neither came close to IM3's box office.

Man of Steel Underperformed? LOL What planet are you living on? Superman Returns underperformed which is why it got the reboot. The Incredible Hulk by Marvel studios BADLY Underperformed which is why they've never attempted another Hulk movie, despite how famous and well recognized that character is.

MOS lead straight to the announcement of Batman V Superman with Superman being the MOS Superman. Proving without a doubt MOS Performed.

(Of course that should have been obvious to anyone with an ounce of common sense considering it almost tripled it's budget, made back most it's marketing costs with sponsorships and the fact that there was no guarantee of it performing after the bad taste Superman Returns left).

Lestov16
I think the fact that DC has more famous characters is what's actually hurting them. When the Mandarin's character got butchered in IM3, I recall many film reviewers saying they didn't mind it because they were not familiar with the character. Same with GoTG, where Gamora and many others are vastly underpowered compared to her comic book counterparts, and nobody in the audience really cares because the movie is fun.

But when Supes does something OOC like fight Zod in a populated area, people get up in arms because it defies what they know about the character. Marvel has more leeway to alter their characters to make the story more interesting, whereas DC's big names, such as Supes, Bats, WW, etc. must keep their characters static to the comics, which restricts the amount of plots they can use.

Because very few people care about "artistic quality" when the majority of people like/love the film. It's not just box office, look at IMDB scores and other movie fan ratings. It's not getting below 70% anywhere apart from by Critics. DVD/Blu-Ray sales are also important, because people generally only buy a movie they enjoyed. And despite IM3 having double the box office success of MOS, MOS outsold it on DVD/Blu-Ray sales. So that gives pretty good clues as to how many people enjoyed the movie.

Superman Returns was said to have great "artistic quality.." But that didn't matter because most people found the movie pretty boring.

Bardock42
Superman Returns was pretty shit, too.

Still, I don't understand why you keep bringing up that people enjoyed the movie in regards to me not enjoying the movie.....

Like I said they seem to be doing everything they can to improve on it, and make it as perfect a movie as possible. Nothing wrong with that. Especially since there's a lot riding on this. B v S will make or break the future of DC Movies.

But you seem to be making out they've had some failure which they need to learn from. That was the case with Superman Returns. But MOS was exactly what they were banking on, except for the critic reviews. But those were the same critics who gave Superman Returns great reviews and that actually was a failure they had to learn from.

Eisenberg's a great actor, so I'm not worried there. Gadot is worrying though, not actually being a proper actress. But then I guess we could have said the same thing about The Rock when he first came into the movie industry. And at least she looked good in the photo they released.

I think whether something is a sequel or a reboot has nothing to do with the length of time that has passed, it's just based on what in universe time-line is accepted. Hence Superman Returns being a (somewhat loose) sequel of Superman 2.

^ Yeah point you all seem to be missing is there's no Hulk sequel announced 6 years after the Original due to it's lack of financial success.

If Hulk did as well as the first Thor or Captain America you we would have had 2 sequels by now. 1 Minimum.

Star Wars and Bad Boys were not delayed due to financial failures of the previous films. Hulk has been delayed for exactly that reason.

That's an assumption.

From the news I've heard, Avengers 2 will be a very hulk centric movie. For all we know, a hulk solo movie could have been delayed for Avengers 2 to come first. It could all be part of Marvel's plan. Maybe Marvel had a plan, which regardless of TIHs financial success, called for a solo hulk movie much later.

Hulk is also a very hard movie to do. Maybe, Marvel is still working on the script. Trying to perfect it.

And LOL @ Trying to perfect it. That's what I said about B v S. With TIH they have to make it just work first, before they can perfect it.

But yeah because he worked well in the first Avengers and because he's getting no solo movies, they will give him a larger role in AOU.

It is an assumption, and remains an assumption until a Marvel representative officially confirms it.

The reason Marvel is waiting, imo, is because they have a plan.

And the fact that Marvel is having Hulk as a central character in the biggest and most expensive movie they have ever made in their history... That fact really discounts your notion that Marvel isn't confident in the financial efficacy of Hulk.

And before you say Avengers 2 also has Iron Man, Thor and Captain America - Marvel would still have to have high confidence in Hulk to give him the narrative focus.



Anyways, the next Hulk movie will technically be a sequel. In the MCU timeline, TIH, then Avengers, then Avengers 2, then Hulk solo movie.

Nah. I'd bet you loved it when supes went shirtless though. You swooned, didn't you?

btw, a 2 hour superman underwear commercial would've been more entertaining then shitty MoS

They have done in the past saying he's a tricky character to tackle. They only said that after TIH didn't perform.

You expect them to outright state "we're too scared to take the risk with him again.." Come on man, be real. I get your a gigantic Marvel fan, but seriously be real.

TIH failed to perform. Hulk is the only Avenger not to get a sequel. And still doesn't even have one announced.

Do the math, and don't just suck up to Marvel for the sake of it.

No because they decided after Avengers he works with a team, but still even after the Gigantic success of Avengers didn't have the confidence to give him another Solo movie yet.

They might now seeing as they've seen all the Individual Avengers have had huge box office boosts since the Avengers. And yet still no announcement or release date for another Hulk movie. I don't think TIH2 will even make it to Phase III at this rate.

Superman Returns was also in the same timeline as the Reeve Superman, but it was still essentially a reboot. But fact is they already gave us a reboot version of the Hulk (but in the same timeline) with the Avengers.

If they do ever make a Hulk solo movie again it will most likely be Mark Ruffalo's take on it.

A change of actor does not mean that something is a reboot, though.

No but changing the actors, the look and powerset of the Hulk, the tone and the general characterisation is essentially a reboot even if it is technically in the same Universe/Timeline.

LOL YES LET THE BUTTHURT FLOW THROUGH YOU!

You go on about the so called failure of MOS which was clearly a success. Whilst Marvel with Hulk, whose according to you is their biggest Icon, really did fail with TIH.

Give me a release date for TIH Sequel, or shut your fanboy trap. Marvel failed their Icon laughing out loud (Icon was your own description of him laughing out loud )

Only hope for that now is waiting 10 years after TIH for a reboot laughing out loud Yeah.

I do not hate dc I pity them.

Mos wasn't the success they originally predicted. Not all good movies are huge successes.

I don't need to shut my trap. You're upset that marvel is handing them their asses. People recognize your double standards and are calling you on them.

Make mine marvel.

Show me where it's stated what they originally predicted. Otherwise I'll assume that's another one of Quanchi's typical lies and BS. All the evidence is against you. Mos lead to the announcement of B v S. That means the studio was more than happy with it. MOS tripled it's budget and made its marketing costs back through sponsorships. After Superman Returns bombed MOS' s kind of financial success is only going to mean a very happy studio. Heck even without a previous bomb that would make any studio high on success and happiness. Mos' s high DVD/BLU-RAY Sales shows movie fans have given their thumbs up to it.

So yeah MOS was a Massive success. Show me this Insane and BS prediction figures after SR Bombed so we can all see the Quanchi jealousy and lies in action.

MOS was a frigging Awesome movie. Between MOS, B v S and JL this is going to be one bad ass DC trilogy Zack Synder's giving us but your going to hate every second of it. The jealousy will just burn you up.

IYO which film producers don't really care about. They care about the majority who showed the love for the movie at the box office first and later backed it with by buying the DVD/Blu-Ray's.

Why do you keep insisting on telling me that something is my opinion. I mean this is clear, I didn't have to do this:

That's 4 times you've said it now in the last 3 pages. Even reacting to Lestov saying it was Awesome. So don't give me that "I'm not a hater," and "Everyone's entitiled to their opinion" crap. Because clearly you are a hater, and clearly you weren't letting Lestov just sit with his opinion of MOS being awesome. And clearly you felt you needed to step in every time it was mentioned that the movie was a success and most people liked/loved it.

So yeah no hate from you... Sure buddy thumb up

I didn't deny hating Man of Steel (and the Green Lantern movie, and Amazing Spider-Man 2), I've been vocal about that. You accused me of hating DC, which is just not the case.

I'll definitely say that between the Marvel and DC films released in 2013, DC definitely had the better film. I'll take MOS over IM3 and T:TDW any day.
