With Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, has Warner Bros. finally turned a corner?
After an abysmal run of expensive underperformers including Jupiter Ascending, Pan and In the Heart of the Sea, the studio launched its effort at a Marvel-style film universe with the DC Comics movie that had been touted as proof the regime installed in 2013 and headed by chairman and CEO Kevin Tsujihara was getting on track. But a dizzying 69 percent plunge that followed its March-record $166.1 million domestic opening ($422.5 million worldwide) means Batman is not a clear win.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Dinner with the Parents Review: It's a family comedy series following the Langers, who often turn their family dinners into a disruptively chaotic affair.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
it's pretty disappointing that when a movie makes as much money as this one has can be deemed to be a disappointment in the eyes of studio execs.
If this was a fun, action adventure movie, like Jurassic World, it prolly woulda made billions. I would be able to forgive the inconsistencies and face palmingly bad motivations for each character, but it was total snooze fest with no redeeming qualities. All the good stuff was given away in the trailers.
Warner Bros should just focus on DC films since they're more successful
let's call a spade a spade here. jupiter ascending was a flaming pile of garbage. simple as that. i just don't understand why in the heart of the sea didn't do better. it was a great movie and Pan just didn't look all that interesting to me or anyone else for that matter. maybe the marketing team is at fault? i don't know what the answer is.
what i do know is the early screener preview comments of bvs were incredibly positive. then the "media" had their chance to dig in and it suddenly turned into a dogs breakfast. i honestly see the mainstream media people as part of the issue. most of them don't understand the characters. one mainstream media person where i am was talking about movie releases that day and was like "ugghhh.. this just looks horrendous. I wouldn't see this if you paid me." no kidding.
i really liked the movie and hope to see it again sooner than later. i also think that the dceu is going to be awesome.
Maybe they should consider getting a better writer, Goyer is not that good for a comic book movie.
