They just had an investor call a couple weeks ago talking about this stuff. So for the trades to say all that can bring out lawsuits.

i mean he's probably right, studio accounting is basically completely fraudulent and i especially wouldn't trust anything WB insiders report

that said the rock going on Twitter constantly to proclaim how not mad and not owned he is is such a bad look. leak that poo poo through an outlet like a normal person

Hollywood accounting is all a boondoggle and you should never trust what they say makes a profit or doesn't

Yo Taxi!

If Black Adam was a sign of where the DC Universe was headed, bring on the reboot. It really felt like it would have been a better Suicide Squad film, from the point of view of the Squad squaring off against Black Adam.

Squad botches a mission in Khandaq, drawing the JSA to intervene. Doc Fate accidentally disturbs Adam's slumber, etc etc etc.

Meh, I'd watch it.

Doesn't WB still insist they have no idea how much the Snyder Cut made them and stop asking

I mean, they probably don't KNOW, because it's not REALLY possible to tell who signed up for your streaming service specifically for that/who stuck around afterward simply because they forgot they signed up vs because of other stuff they saw in the catelog/etc.


But they also absolutely have a pretty good estimate, because you don't loving NEED the exact numbers of any of those things.

the fact that they haven't been blasting from the rooftops that it was a flop combined with their baseless insinuations that the whole thing was bot-drive suggest to me that it was a hit, but that they don't want to admit it

Its not an S, on my planet it means QUIPS
If that's true, and johns was also behind josstice league and ww84 then this development could actually be a smart move for WB/DC, as unlikely as that is lol

I didn't even hate ww84 like a lot ppl did - it's not good obvs, but it's certainly no worse than the average superhero cbm in terms of stupid/bad politics. Plus the sheer weirdness gives it an edge over more boring stuff like the avengers

I think Donner Superman sucks, and also think Gunn is overrated. That's why I LOL'd at this specualtive idea of the Gunn regime trying to capture Donner Superman for their new take that popped into my head. poo poo's funny to me. I think it's the worst sort of combo for WB to consider lmao, so I hope they do it.

I'm taking all the comments on that post and making up a scenario in my head where WB is still making reactionary decisions based on social media. Let me have my fun. I really don't give a poo poo about superhero movies anymore. I hope both DC and Marvel movies fade away sooner than later.

Need more Rebel Moon news or/and if anything is still happening with the Army of the Dead franchise. I'm mega hype for either.

Is the Dead stuff uh, dead? It felt like Army of Thieves came out so relatively soon after Army of the Dead.

Deepfakes specifically are a fairly recent thing (the term originated in 2017) - what Superman Returns did was to use outtakes from the Donner films and project the 2D footage onto a 3D model of Brando's head, which then had the mouth re-animated to match the archival audio they wanted to use in each shot.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow did something similar a few years earlier, and Forrest Gump met JFK back in the 90's, but Superman Returns is still a landmark in terms of creating a "new" performance for a deceased actor rather than just relying on archival footage as-is.
