‘Ballerina’ May Have Been A Box Office Miss, But It Drove A Big Quarterly Library Gain For Lionsgate

I think they're a little optimistic about the eventual world total. But good news all around.

I'd be very surprised if it reached 670 million but the legs have been good to soon push past 600.

Lotta emphasis on that specific number for some reason.

We know how much you'll appreciate it.

Snyder fans are starting to sweat. Which makes it all worthwhile.

Nope

Fantastic four did $4.5 million on Friday - whatever the general audience wants to pay for - it ain't this.

Not at all. But this is the utter hypocrisy of certain people who claimed box office comparisons were not (fill in the excuse), yet constantly refer to box office as some measure of the Gunn movie's value against MoS. Yeah...whoopsy. Such is the nature of the desperate who appear incapable of living up to their oft-spewed claim to "just" want to enjoy this film, yet cannot stop punching walls about a film over a decade old.

Amusing.

> Audiences clamoring for a proper MCU F4 for years
> Hire four of the most uninspired actors with zero chemistry to play beloved characters
> Change gender of Silver Surfer just because
> Introduce Franklin Richards in first reboot
> Make freaking Galactus a one-time weak-ass villain just like Kang and Ronan the Accuser
> Kill off Invisible Woman and bring her back to life just like the F4 from 2007
> Surprise-Pikachu-Face.jpg when movie bombs.

WTF happened to Marvel? No really, this crash and burn must be studied thoroughly. Upper Management cannot be this fucking incompetent.

Amusing.

Because the same "over a decade old film" is still fresh in people's memories, lots of dialogue still get quoted to this day, scenes from the movie are memed and were copied in the Flash more than a decade later.
The new movie despite being called a box office win is basically out of the general audience memories within a month.
Anti-Snyder fans cannot accept that.

Man, you really like to type up long posts about things you have no clue about.

I was waiting for a snow flake to have a problem with this.

Disney is the red button guy.

They like making money. Put another way: they really don't like losing money.

But they like being woke more.

Certain folks have spent two years pissing on Gunn and his Superman movie at every single opportunity. So, yes there is a certain amount of giddy from the folks who decided to wait and give the film a chance and getting to see it perform well. Not because they dislike Man of Steel, but because they dislike the folks who are its most ardent supporters.

This isn't hard. I personally don't see it getting to $625 million, but it would be tasty if it hits that $670 million mark without robust international numbers.

 

[BillJ]

But they like being woke more.

Because they have made a shit ton of money doing it. If it wasn't profitable, people would have lost their jobs and been replaced with people putting the money into socially more conservative fare.

 

[Set Harth]

There's that number again!

Why does everyone seem to care about that number so much...
