You don't need the more or less: they're straight up not DCEU films.

True. Batman's been bigger than the rest of the DC brand for many decades.
Rebooted Wonder Woman is the only character I'm at all concerned about at the box office.
They’ll find one. I remember the outcry from many folks when she was picked.
Gadot wasn't the highlight of the movie for me. The writing and directing were. The actor could easily have been someone else.
She's closely identified.
Box office means absolutely nothing about the quality of a movie, there have been tons of movies over the decades that absolutely bombed at the box office, and took off thanks to home video or TV and are now considered all time classics. And for recent movies like those, I'd say looking at the review both the professional ones and the fan ones are a much just better way to judge the quality of a movie rather than the box office. All the box office tells you is how many people went to see a movie, it doesn't necessarily tell you if they liked it.
For me it's the size of the screen, not the communal experience that draws me to the theater for some movies. I'm not a fan of people, so the communal experience is the worst part of the movies for me, but there are some movies that really need to be seen on the big screen at least once.
I go to movies all the time, and I've almost never had people yell or cheer or anything like that. The only time I can remember that happening is one person cheer once during Superman, but that was it.
She was great in the role, but we've already had a lot of other great Wonder Women over the years, so I'm sure the next actress will be at least as good.
Gadot may be generational as Diana; replacing her is a little like replacing Christopher Reeve would have been for a Superman film if he'd been available and willing.
Of course, one aspect of that is that has no strong public identity as a actor; she's not known for much of anything else that's super popular. Momoa, OTOH, is becoming as ubiquitous as Pedro Pascal.

That's not bad, but it's still not quite the same as a theater screen.I've got a 65" screen and a comfortable couch.
The comfortable couch is my biggest draw.I've got a 65" screen and a comfortable couch.
The comfortable couch, my more than adequately sized television screen, the affordable food, the ability to pause when I have to use the tinkletorium, the complete total and utter lack of other people...
Yeah, it's hard to drag me to a movie theater.

Agree completely. Plus, I've already paid the streaming service that will air it in a few months anyway.
The device used to display captions for the Deaf is such a kludge. It doesn't show the captions on the movie screen, you have to look at the device to read them. It resides in your cup holder so you have to hold your drink or hope the other seat isn't occupied.
This link describes the frustration movie theater caption devices cause me to have.
What's so hard about making movies accessible?
Jurors walked out of a festival film due to a lack of open captions. What are they and why do they matter?

Or I can read the captions on my TV...at home.
If they really wanted my money, they'd make captions easily accessible. But they won't.
It's all so tiresome.
As I said, it's all very tiresome.
Those movies didn't make money but similar movies in the same category did in the same timeframe.
Which, obviously, means those movies didn't click with the moviegoing audience.
Deadpool and Wolverine would love to say hi.
I personally didn't like the new Jurassic World, Superman or the Avatar movies but I can't deny that they definitely clicked with the audiences and hence they were hits.
How is that worldview hurting anyone?
And who the bloody fuck do you think you are to determine what worldview I should have or not?
Movies that don't make enough money = movie didn't click with general audiences = movie is 'bad'. Simple as.
All your dancing around the subject of box office isn't gonna change that.
WAT.
Weirdly Equalizer 3 on netflix does not have the hardcoded Italian subtitles it should have - rendering large sections of the film incomprehensible for non-italian speakers unless you use CC which is not the intent of the film.
