I don't think they can when Disney projects dominate most of the key annual dates.
When you consider that most families go to the cinema around 5-6 times a year Disney is eating everyone's lunch with (normally) 1x Star Wars, 3x Marvel, 1x Live Action, 1x Pixar every year.
WB has been smarter in its approach with DC in recent years and I genuinely looking forward to their projects but the performance of Shazam is a big warning light IMO. They've gone cheap and smart this year but they won't clear up. They need to create some energy.
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.
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.
Next couple years are strong I grant you but the fact that so many their franchises are underperforming should be of concern.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Because you cant extrapolate a director/actors popularity in the MCU and think it translates into box office outside of it.
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.

That thread's going to be fun.

He has been pretty credible in the past, but yeah, I need more info.
It's always amusing seeing the same users always rush into any perceived negative news about DC to spew their regurgitated posts.

Didn't this happen to Wonder Woman as well? The script leaked and everyone trashed it? Lol.
True. Thankfully that turned out to be bullshit, the DCEU has been getting in better shape since Wonder Woman.
It's DC though, that's all that counts for some to get on their usual "DCEU is a mess, cancel it" routine.
IIRC it was more of someone has seen WW and was giving the plot, but yes.
The WW script that was leaked was an unproduced one from the dark ages of the early 2000's, not one that was used in the actual movie .
Still, script are always changing even during a shoot, some of everyone favorite movies were reading awfully if you look at the shooting script , so this alone is no reason to panic ,

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 faultWho asked for more rumors?
Basically that joker thread is people being upset that he would do something the joker would do. And from that one scene, it makes the movie bad.
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.
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?
Honestly, yes, if only to have it proven wrong again like what happened with the 1st film.
I don't think you'd get many people with WW again unless it was something truly special.
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.
Disney reinstalls Snyder as the architect of the DCEU stating they liked his vision but he didn't have studio support. However, Disney is there to support him.

Ignore Thread works wonders for stuff like that. Just do that and you'll never have to think about it again.
