Originally posted by roughriderDeadline is reporting a 47% drop for 2nd weekend which is really good for a comic book movie.
Just wait for the weekend to finish and we'll see if there is a rebound. I remember Bumblebee starting out small but it eventually gained momentum.
And Bumblebee released during Christmas which is very lucrative window.

Didn't the overall number already come out?
And the domestic box office heavily rely on first 2 weeks, especially blockbusters.
It needs 250m to break even, so it's highly likely that this movie is a flop.

By Monday we will have the full domestic and international numbers.The opening weekend seemed shocking because it was four to five times less than Suicide Squad's opening. Despite BOP getting much better reviews, people remember how much Suicide Squad sucked and it looks like a backlash.
Why would you be surprised?
SS got bigger names, bigger budget, better trailer and most of the cast were good.
BoP got no big names especially after they butchered the team, the trailer sucks and most of the cast were bad or even terrible, the Woke marketing and R rating also dealt a big blow.
I seriously don't understand why would some ppl in other places disallow others to criticize this movie. Especially comic fans.
Zack Snyder at least was trying to make the characters well(maybe except Batman), even though his approach was not liked by many.
This one simply had no respect for the source material characters, they were simply brought up to support Harley Quinn rather than getting what they deserve for their characters. Only the Huntress was OK because Robbie likes the character. For this it deserves to fail otherwise we will see more beloved DC characters get ruined.
Birds of Prey is what happens when producers are given too much leeway by the studio.
Joker is also what happens when producers are given too much leeway by the studio.
WB badly needs a Feige. Someone who can tell good from bad.
Still hilarious watching them trying to blame teenage boys for this movie failing, though.
Originally posted by BruceSkywalkerI have a feeling Bloodshot will be brilliant Bruce, hopefully we will get eternal warrior, A and A, XO, Solar etc next. Now that might be an interesting Superhero Universe, Spider Aliens and all. Get Jim Shooter in as consultant.
whoever has those rights might be waiting see how vin diesel does as bloodshot

Of course, the producer has huge influence on a movie's quality. Robbie is the one to blame for this movie's failure, but remember they were never trying to do a real BoP movie from the beginning. It's not just a problem of execution, but direction as well.
Feige didn't come from nowhere as well, he had tons of experiences from other Marvel movies' successes and failures before MCU.
