DC Movies - To Infinity and Beyond

Holy fuck, Batman!


They really are working overtime to make people focus on everyone in the movie but the star.

if they did this and not Grant Gustin, then that makes me mad. Because #1 they had Ezra Miller in Crisis, which was a moment i actually cherred and had gained respect for Ezra Miller and his talk of Multiverse.
#2 they said it was because of budget they cut Grant.
Now if the denial of Grant being in was a fake out, I can easily forgive that.

Well that lines up with a list of cameos that was floating around and if correct there is another big one to be revealed.
 
I had originally planned on not reading about the big surprise cameo, but I gave and read the linked story in the last page and HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! I never thought we'd see that.
I wonder if they just decided to go and announce it so they didn't have to worry about it unofficially leaking when more people started to see the movie.

According to some who attended a screening, the alleged "big cameo" (depending on what you consider the "big cameo") is not in the film. Believe whatever you want about that. Further, many of the rumored cameos are not in the final cut.

This guy attended the screening, and offered his thoughts. Not to spoiler-y, but that depends on what you already know about the various cuts of The Flash--

The Flash - My Review!! - WOW!!

Yeah, I think that sort of thing is projected from advance ticket sales.

I always wonder if a lot of people do this. I'm not even 100% sure this is a thing in the Netherlands. I mean, yeah, a couple of days in advance. But I can't recall ever seeing that option.
 
It's apparently a real thing, but not a super-reliable indicator. Most big superhero movies tend to come in lower than the projections, at least lately. (Guardians Vol 3 came in significantly higher than them, though.)

And anyway, the projections for the Flash aren't actually 70 million exactly, they're a range and there are a bunch of different sources that offer different numbers. 70m is the lowest. I've also seen 75m, 115-140m and 'somewhere between 85m and 180m'. So the numbers are kind of all over the place, regardless.

My fingers are crossed for below 70m.
 
I'm kind of curious as to why they bother to do predictions. Other than to create "news" to report, why not just find out when it happens?

Or if there are legit business reasons to do it, curious as to why the normal people care.

Possibly because we live in a media-shaped culture (to a degree) where "success" and quality of a theatrical is artificially tied to dollar amount, so all earning projections are playing the "its good if it earned..." / "its not good if it earned..." game instead of strictly waiting for audience opinion.

Well, given how much importance people ascribe to opening weekends, I'd think the studios and advertisers would want as much advance warning as possible about the results, so that they can get a headstart on adjusting their ads, messaging, etc., either to tout a hit or try to do damage control for a letdown.

It's also probably about creating hype. If they can report that there's a lot of advance interest in a movie, it might convince more people that it's worth seeing.
 
Well, YouTuber Free Boredom did some video editing of various theatrical films plus CW's The Flash to create his own cinematic Justice League!
