I know I'm mad late, I didn't know there was a Green Lantern movie. I'm watching it for the first time as we speak

Stop watching.

 

[raider5]

I didn't mind the first two acts of GL. The scenes on Oa were fire. That third act though with Parallax...unforgivable

 

[Master Zik]

The entire movie and that approach to Hal was trash.

He's not my fav GL but I got a good idea of him as a hero and it is not Ryan Reynolds.

 

[Grine]

Dang it's that bad? Movie just started

There's a reason you don't remember it coming out

probably one of those movies you wished you didnt find

 

[jays25]

Green Lantern is a trainwreck from beginning to end. It's not the fault of any of the actors. It's just a badly written film. They had no idea what they were doing or what actual fans of the characters wanted to see. Terrible, just terrible. Only saving grace is that I never paid money to see it.

 

[law3001]

It's had the same budget as Star Wars TFA. The SAME BUDGET

 

[Master Zik]

It's had the same budget as Star Wars TFA. The SAME BUDGET

Oh wow, this is probably the most damaging negative.

Think of all the money they wasted on that cgi suit and storm cloud

They had TFA money and produced a turd.

 

[law3001]

Im convinced they got ganked for millions how could they spend all that money so terrible cgi.

 

[Grine]

I couldn't even make it past the training part, I fell asleep

I'll try to finish it tonight...

 

[noblekane]

–  A PROFIT

One of the biggest points of contention surrounding Suicide Squad  is how much it had to make in order to be considered profitable. Its production budget is said to be around $175 million, but that does not include the marketing costs, which were most likely very high. Some have said that the film needed to gross about $800 million worldwide to “break even,” but that figure is most likely false. Batman V Superman  with is $250 million production budget (and marketing tacked on) needed to cross that threshold to be considered profitable, but Squad‘s magic number was lower. A more realistic total for David Ayer’s film is $600 million, which would cover all the filming and advertising costs, including those pesky publicized reshoots.

A quick look at Suicide Squad‘s current numbers show that the film has brought in $643.3 million globally, which ekes it over that profitability point. It’s also expected that it will end its run with a worldwide haul in excess of $700 million, meaning that Suicide Squad  should be in the black by more than $100 million, a nice turn of events for a comic book adaptation that featured several characters general audiences were unfamiliar with up until recently. It’s worth pointing out that Guardians of the Galaxy  made $773.3 million globally on a $170 million budget, and it’s considered one of the most successful Marvel movies to date.

^ It's not a comfortable profit margin, that's for sure.

If you think of films in terms of private equity, you'd want a healthy 10-15% IRR (internal rate of return).

Nah. Mark Strong as Sinestro was the least horrible/best part of the movie. The practical effects and make-up were on point too. Only downside was the terrible CG GL uniform with the glowing veins on it.

Facts. Ryan Reynolds isn't a bad actor and I enjoy most of his work.

For what suicide squad was and it coming off the backlash of BVS, the 100+ million it will make for the studio is considered a win. Also that's about around what they had projected

Also that Guardians number is way off. GOTG was over the 170 budget and cost 232 million. So if Disney considers that movie a success at 770 globally, suicide squad at 175 mill with BO 700+ with no China has to be a win

 

[law3001]

People thinking Suicide wasn't a hit is just looking for reasons to hate at this point. People can have their opinions about the quality but the movie has been a major hit without China and a Japan opening looming.

Also until the actual books are opened up and release after taxes and rebate no one knows how much the movie is making, all these articles are pure speculation. But if people think these studios aren't making major cake off these movies they are

I'm curious to see how well WW does. SS showed that women and people of color will go to these movies if the characters are there. Funny how even CBM are quickly starting to reflect the America of today by way of public pressure.

I can see Wonder Woman doing 400-500 million. The budget is only $100 million so they likely aren't expecting it to do major numbers

WW may be more popular as a brand than SS, but suicide squad had will smith and the joker. Ain't nobody care about Gal Gadot

 

[mikeeeeey]

Even though I know you're talking about a big budget movie still hearing "only 100 million" makes my chest hurt lol

@ Shia LeBeouf originally being in this movie and WB shooting it down.
