DC comics 3 biggest characters with a huge and successful live action history vs Marvel's former B-List characters being put on the big screen for the first time.

Disagree. Why would I compare DC's first movies to Marvel's already established universe? DCEU is just starting out.
Because you're saying each film is something new and not at all effected by the previous films? Isn't that what you've been arguing for Justice League? How we shouldn't look at BvS to judge how well JL will do?

The DC Fanboys however will go and pay to watch these crappy movies five to six times just to make sure that they make a lot of money and that ultimately screws over the true DC fans and Marvel fans like myself who actually want a good DC Universe to watch.
[b]Hey. It makes em money. Why put any more effort into it. [/B]

Hey. I feel the same way.. I don't think it will happen anytime soon though....

I blame all the furners and wimmins fer liking this crap.
Originally posted by Zack MIt's definitely not the only group that is going to watch but it's certainly the only group watching them more than once. They are shitty movies and everyone I know regretted spending money to watch them including myself. Also after suicide squad I am not watching anymore DC movies in theatres; I'll wait and rent them on Redbox.

Quite the opposite on my end. Most people I know liked suicide squad and MOS. They're not even comic book fans. A lot of people are looking forward to wonder woman, which is why its projected to make 83-100 million opening weekend. Doesn't seem people hate DC as of late.

Right I hope you both realise that neither of you knows the entire Movie audience.
But My guess would be that audiences really want good movies for these characters but so far have been disappointed. Disappointed but not completely put off.

I also go with how the audience reacted to the movie at my theater. I got a bunch of claps throughout both BVS and SS. Overall, they enjoyed it.
Btw, both BVS and SS are still doing extremely well in the home entertainment department. Read it and weep.
Numbers for week ending Jan 1st are out : Blu Ray chartSecret Life of Pets reached 50M$ on Blu Ray, the 2nd animated movie of 2016 to do so. It should pass FD in the next two weeks. Suicide Squad is one week away from becoming the 4th 2016 CBM to reach 50M$ on Blu Ray after Deadpool, BvS and CA:CW. It should end up in 2nd place behind Deadpool. Although it is still in the top 10, SW:TFA shouldn't reach any milestone for a couple months (rank 3 all time units, 150M$, rank 2 & eventually 1 in $, 158M$ and 162M$ milestones). Some of them could happen with the Blu Ray release boost of Rogue One, but it is most realistic to expect these milestones with the release of The Last Jedi.
Not much to talk about on the DVD side of things : DVD chart
While SLOP will beat FD on DVD and reach 30M$, this is not something to be proud of as it is barely above The Good Dinosaur and will end up far away from Zootopia which sits at 46M$. Looking at the past three years of DVD sales, it looks like sales have stabilized in the 30M$-45M$ range for the yearly top 10 (with the notable exception of Frozen). Just a reminder that no movie has achieved 50M$ on DVD since Inside Out released late in 2015 with Minions (49M$) and Zootopia (46M$) being the closest to the milestones since then.
On the combined side of things : combined chart
SLOP (81M$) will also beat FD (83M$) and fall short of passing Zootopia (95M$). Suicide Squad (68M$) will pass both BvS (72M$) and CA:CW (73M$) but will fall short of passing Deadpool (90M$). SW:TFA is about 2-3 weeks away from reaching 175M$. The last movie to reach this milestone is Frozen and the last live action movie is the first Avengers.
