I don't think they can when Disney projects dominate most of the key annual dates.Blame the audience for Shazam's performance then. And they should worry about making their own money and not challenge Marvel.

Fantastic Beasts was a disappointment, so was Shazam, Lego movie 2 and Pokemon. Godzilla not looking too hot. All films which would normally do big business for WB. All they got left this year is IT2 and Joker both of which are one offs.This is kind of ridiculous considering the amount of success Warners had as a whole last year. If anything, that would/should show that the company can work around Disney.
Show me all the box office success Gunn has had outside the MCU.
Ticket prices need to come down or something. I truly believe that most people are not willing to watch more than one movie a month, and 9/10 times it's going to be a Disney movie.Fantastic Beasts was a disappointment, so was Shazam, Lego movie 2 and Pokemon.

Next couple years are strong I grant you but the fact that so many their franchises are underperforming should be of concern.
That's one of the reasons theater attendance is going down, soon enough Disney will have at least one big movie in theaters per month.Ticket prices need to come down or something. I truly believe that most people are not willing to watch more than one movie a month, and 9/10 times it's going to be a Disney movie.
Yeah that's entirely my point. Disney have become the go to family theatre experience and they have enough strong franchises to starve out competition so that a lot of other films are underperforming. Hence my original point that WB needs to step up its game with DC.Ticket prices need to come down or something. I truly believe that most people are not willing to watch more than one movie a month, and 9/10 times it's going to be a Disney movie.
WB announced like 50 DC movies. You want them to make even more announcements? Besides WB has like a movie coming out for each month until 2022. Pokemon is already getting a sequel, Godzilla is this month, It comes out september, joker october.Not necessarily. Marvel have peaked with Endgame for a while but are already taking the initiative with announcing phase 4 projects. Now is the time for Warners to start gearing up in response.
Shazam should have done a lot better and deserved to. They can't rely on a series of unconnected films if they want to start challenging Disney. With the underperformance of brands like Harry Potter and Pokemon, WB need to double down on DC.

Because you cant extrapolate a director/actors popularity in the MCU and think it translates into box office outside of it.Why should we discount what he did in the MCU? With material which will have many things in common with it? He's not going to make Slither here.
It's not like the Suicide Squad brand is going to him, either.

I'm not saying it wont be a success but to think James Gunn is a draw is a stretch for me. It's that type of thinking that has led to Chris Hemsworth starring in flop after flop and the entire Joss Whedon debacle with Justice League.
James Gunn has yet to prove he can succeed outside the MCU machine. That's all I'm saying.
He has been pretty credible in the past, but yeah, I need more info.Yeah I'm not believing it till I see it. Cryptic tweets deserve threads now.
Didn't this happen to Wonder Woman as well? The script leaked and everyone trashed it? Lol.
IIRC it was more of someone has seen WW and was giving the plot, but yes.Didn't this happen to Wonder Woman as well? The script leaked and everyone trashed it? Lol.
At this point the only thing that would satisfy those people is if WB stopped making DC movies outrightIt's DC though, that's all that counts for some to get on their usual "DCEU is a mess, cancel it" routine.
WB should sell DC to Marvel.At this point the only thing that would satisfy those people is if WB stopped making DC movies outright
Okay i wanted more rumors, but didn't say anything. I swear....it's not my fault
Be careful what you wish for!Okay i wanted more rumors, but didn't say anything. I swear....it's not my fault
It's the shit show I was hoping for.
Also it being in the script doesn't mean it was shot. Could have been cut in filming if they felt it was vibing with the rest of the film.I remember having a discussion here because it was revealed that there were huge script changes minutes before shooting the scene. I assume the script this person read is an older one. Of course, OT wouldn't care about that
Looks at the people in this thread who asked for more DC rumors.
Honestly, yes, if only to have it proven wrong again like what happened with the 1st film.Looks at the people in this thread who asked for more DC rumors.
Looks at the Joker rumors thread.
Sure you want to wish for that?
I don't think you'd get many people with WW again unless it was something truly special.Honestly, yes, if only to have it proven wrong again like what happened with the 1st film.

That would require Disney purchasing the entirety of WB from AT&T. I know a lot of people would cheer for that merger but I don't think that would be a good idea.
It's always amusing seeing the same users always rush into any perceived negative news about DC to spew their regurgitated posts.
