WB to announce Superman/Batman & JLA movies

And your Ironman example would have been believable a couple weeks ago. After GOTG that doesnt fly anymore. Marvel took some unknown F-listers and made a good movie that is doing great so far at the box office. Made almost as much as transformers did opening weekend. A movie franchise that had 3 previous movies to build an established fanbase and was ridiculously more known than GOTG.
Winter Soldier also did great without Ironman.

Yeah, I never said it was impossible, I said Cap has little chance, which he does.

As for the reviews, I think that's not really an issue, because even IF the move is crap, people will still flock to see Batman and Superman on the big screen together for the first time.

And seeing as the script is very good by some reports, I think it will be an improvement over MOS, script wise. WB wants Terrio to write the JL, which is the total opposite from Will Beall who was reported to write the JL a few years ago.

That would be TWICE what winter soldier made. come on.

lolololololol.. will repeat what i said in the other batman v superman thread

Captain America 3 will be powered up by Age of Ultron, will be seen given the fact that Winter Soldier opened up to $95 million, will be powered by the fact that Chris Evans might be last time we see him as Cap, so one can reasonably assume that Captain America 3 will open up too $120 million plus and tap out at $1 billion plus...

It has happened before with movies and how sequels have made more than/slightly the original, here is an example Batman Begins made $374 million WW, The Dark Knight made a little over $ 1 billion WW,, The Dark Knight Rises made almost $1.1 billion.. Cap 1 made 370 million WW, Winter Soldier tapped out at $713 million WW, i do believe , Iron Man made $585 million WW, Iron Man 2 made $623 million WW.. Iron Man 3 made 1.2 billion WW.. I can give more examples of how sequels can/have made nearly or double of the predecessor.. but i am too damn m'fing tired to look so I hope you get what i am saying, if not nothing i can do about it.. In fact (Im not gonna look) but didn;t golgo say in this very thread that Batman v. Superman would make $ 1 billion dollars AND NEVER EVER OFFERED ANY TYPE OF PROOF just he didn;t when i asked him earlier..

Lol. Stop embarrassing yourself, bruce.

perhaps you need to grow on up.. Once again offer some sort of proof and back up your claim that Batman V. Superman would have destroyed Cap 3 had they stayed on the same date or simply STFU and GTFO, I'm sure you understand what those acronyms mean

Wishful thinking, Bruce. 🙂

I'll put you down for Cap 3 outgrossing BVS OW.

I have no doubt that cap will do well. it will, which is why I even said it was less of a risk than SVB.

1.5 billion is just not a small number, is all.

B V S has to cross the Billion Mark. I mean the last 2 Batman movies each crossed 1 Billion WW, and it's not like Superman's a Lightweight to add to the mix. So even if it's just a decent movie, B V S is pretty much guaranteed to cross the Billion mark.

If it's a really good film, B V S can reach Avenger numbers.

Cap 3 has the potential to do a Billion, but it would have to be as good as the first.

So the only way I see Cap 3 beating B V S is if BVS is just MEH, and if CAP 3 Rocks again, and is again given that push from Avengers. Now let's face it, that scenario isn't out of the question. It could happen. The Russo brothers are back for Cap 3, continuing the whole Spy Thriller thing. Whilst WB/DC are really still in the Hit and Miss phase.

That is a big number and something that is clearly attainable ..

Yeah, I just don't see it. It's a small possibility, but Cap isn't beating 2 of the biggest heroes on the big screen.

Gotta disagree I thought watchmen was one of the best movies DC ever released and the best movie Snyder has ever done.

Well yeah he shouldn't be..

But then who would have thought that a completely unknown property like Guardians of the Galaxy would have a bigger opening weekend than the Spider-Man or the X-Men movies out in the same year?!

And who would of thought Iron Man 3 could be so bad yet not be too far off from Avengers in World Wide Box Office?

But like I said... Cap shouldn't be beating B v S. In fact it really shouldn't be close, but who knows considering it's proved itself as an awesome franchise as well as a box office beast, and is connected to the ever more popular MCU.

So B v S really does need to rock to put the DCU back in the game.

It's the Avengers. The MCU is basically like a film series of its own, with all these different "episodes" focusing on different characters.

GOTG, even as good as it might be, was never going to have the opening it's had without the Avengers name being plastered all over it, and being marketed the way it was.

GOTG was a breath of fresh air. And was compared to things like Star Wars, so it was no surprise that it did so well. It was one of my most anticipated movies this year and I was glad I was right.

Spider-man was an abomination. Something I hope batman V superman is not. Hehe.

Still, it's going to be a novelty that will pay off big and the start of DCs cinematic universe. It's going to be huge.

It will make them more money though, so how is it not a smart decision?

I'm not going to say that they should have moved, but I think it's ludicrous to pretend they'd somehow be more successful if they stayed where they were.

======

Really, the whole "dc won't do anything but superman and batman" nonsense in this thread again?

It's the start of the shared universe. that's all. or do people really think we would have gotten thor and cap movies rather than the absolutely massive pile of wolverine and spider-man movies that marvel would have made if they'd had the rights?

come on, now.

It was never a smart move for they to pick the same date as a studio that makes only super hero movies. They had set it for 2015 but decided to move it back. And decided it was going to be on the exact date Marvel had schedule their movie. WB knew full well this was going to be solo Marvel movie likely and knew it was going to eat into their profits. They still decided to announce this date. Then when Marvel reveal it was Cap 3, they still said they wouldn't move knowing cannabalism was going to occur. The instigated this and wanted a game of chicken. They then back down, but it seems like a lot of DC fans are dismissing this as a smart move. Come know. DC picked this chicken fight and backed down after GOTG was released.

Smart would have been not to pick a fight with Marvel in the first place.

Its all about press. And iirc Silveman said it wouldn't be smart for 2 blockbusters opening on the same day and they had no plan on moving at this time, which if you really read into it, Wb was going to move anyway.

Gotta agree. Watchmen is one of the only comic book movies that I can re watch over and over. Even more so than Nolan batman. Dawn of the Dead also belongs as one of his best.

Lol, this thread.....

DC moved. I think it was a "smart decision" but I also think there is some credence to them "Blinking" in the game of chicken.... But who cares??

Both movies are going to make a ton of money. I'd say the billion dollar mark is not a far shot for either movie imo. Let's hope they're BOTH good.

Yup. WB's idea to move in March was ingenious. There is no competition for a few months and what this year has shown us is that the biggest films that have made money were in non blockbuster months. (Feb, Aug, and April). This will allow batman v superman to breathe and not shove it in with the rest of the blockbusters.

First of all, it's WB, not DC.

They shouldn't have picked the date in the first place, sure, but that doesn't mean moving is a bad decision.

It will make them more money. FACT. How is that NOT a good decision?

they should have chosen march in the first place though. Stupid WB...

Exactly.

Then we would have all been calling them really smart. Just wish they would think before they act sometimes.
