Do you want Superman solo or in a team (i.e., MOS 2 or JL 2) and why?

The second DJ started talking about helping WBD find its Kevin Feige WBD finds its Kevin Feige the Monday after BA premieres. It feels like Saslav didn’t like what DJ was saying.

It reminded me of how Ann Sarnoff ruined the ZS stans’ celebration the Monday after ZSJL was released.

Some think there’s some BTS drama between DJ and JG. It’s strange that DJ didn’t congrat JG and PS for their new WBD positions. DJ’s always looking for things to post. So why not congrat them?

JG retweeted an S!2 tweet that ZL posted., but he hasn’t tweeted anything about BA yet. It’s said that DJ doesn’t really care about the S! films. It’s kinda obvious bc he doesn’t say much about them. And he may dislike them more now that one of his bosses (PS) is also producing S!2.

WB and WBD really don’t know how to be professional. They don’t care that people know about their BTS drama.

In DJ’s defense, JG should have said something about BA first. BA’s OW numbers were known Sunday morning. The announcement of JG and PS happened on Monday. So JG started this dog fight. He won the pissing contest. His territory is marked. All two-legged dogs better stay out of his lane. lol I guess he can keep quiet if he’s not impressed with a $67 mil OW.

Both charts start with TG2 ($701/$718 mil) and end with Sonic 2 ($191 mil). BlackP2 is #7 ($360 mil).

That’s kinda low. I think it’ll do better. I don’t think the controversies (yes/no recast CB and LW’s COVID comments) will affect the BO too much. thinking

TN changed it to $460 mil. It's still low, though. The first one closed with $700,059,566.

TN: […] audience tracking of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is currently sky high, with the Marvel movie currently predicted to be the second-highest-grossing film of the year, behind Top Gun: Maverick […]

I don’t think a $67 mil OW is good either. And it doesn’t look like China will give BA’s BO a good boost either. thinking

CosmicBook: Chinese MCU fans upset over 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' not getting a China release may have turned in Pierce Brosnan.
A user on the Box Office Theory forums (via Reddit) posted that as a result of Chinese Marvel fans informing the Chinese Film Board that Pierce Brosnan is a Dalia Lama supporter, China has decided not to release Black Adam.
“Pierce Brosnan wore something related to Daila Lama in an interview – that is what I heard / read,” states user Tiger Paw. “And on Weibo, there are comments that said many Marvel fans took the chance and called in to the film board to highlight this and complained to get the film banned.”

Word is that BA may just reach $430 mil ($200 mil PB). What’s going on with DJ’s draw power? Super-Pet barely reached $200 mil ($90 mil PB) and the first two eps of Young Rock S03 only got 1.81 and 1.43 mil viewers. That’s without DVR. With 7 days DVR, the first ep got 2.39 mil viewers. S01’s first ep got 5.31 mil and 6.70 mil +7 days DVR.

It’s that easy.

No, he cant. lol But now that BA pretty much flopped, he’s singing a different tune. Now he’s saying that one year ago nobody knew about BA. Probably true. Then, what on Earth made him think that this unknown and pretty much forgettable weirdo can change the hierarchy of power in the DCU and start a new era?

The hierarchy of power in the DC universe is about to change. The new era of the DC universe has begun.

DJ really believed that BA can be above WW, SM and BM. lol Well, it looks like the huge fan base of DC’s trinity has shown him that the hierarchy of power in the DCU will remain with them. The BM fans were the ones most offended by his stupid catchphrases and BM is the one with the biggest fan base.

@Cashmere said:

The Direct: A Warner Bros. (WB) press release announced Black Adam would hit digital storefronts on November 22, just 31 days after its theatrical debut.
The digital launch marks the shortest theatrical exclusive window for any widely released DCU film.

@Cashmere said:

Fans said they’re using SM to help BA’s BO. Now… they fought for six years to bring SM back.

BA’s reshoot was planned in Feb, but it was moved to May. WH stopped SM’s cameo “earlier this year.” So… in February? May is more… mid of the year?

Saslav took over in April. HC’s cameo supposedly happened in Sep. Why did they wait till last minute to approve it? Negotiations lasted from May to Sep? Something’s fishy. thinking

DJ got Booed at SDCC, remember? If that didn’t happen, we’d have had headless SM or shadow SM in BA.

They let outlets spread rumors to get fans excited. They let their minions post on boards to watch BA if you want MOS2.

Nah. WBD had nothing to do with that. That had DJ/DG written all over it.

DJ congratulated BlackP2 and then mentioned BlackP2 again just for… the hell of it?

DJ is kissing MCU's arse. He probably wants to be hired to make their stuff suck and flop too.

DJ thinks that he’s still in that fake wrestling world. In the real world, things aren’t fixed. When you release a film, you have to wait for the BO numbers before you start barking about anything changing or anything new starting.

The BM fans were the ones most offended by his stupid catchphrases and BM is the one with the biggest fan base.

The BM fans should take a tranquilizer shot and go lay down. The whole superhero thing is ridiculous enough as it is. Now we have a grown-arse man in a batsuit with no powers. BM shouldn’t be part of the Trinity. Heck, he shouldn’t be part of JL either. At least BA has powers.

Seriously, why does the JL need BM? Brain? Money? Tech? WW, SM, Cyborg and Flash are all very smart. Do they need BM’s expensive high tech toys? Not really. They have Cyborg. He can access and control almost everything.

@Triksy said:

They forgot about SM till DJ needed him to create buzz for his BA.

Fight fifteen years to make a movie and a cameo added last minute is the most important thing to talk about. A 2-hour movie and the most important thing to talk about is the few seconds post-credit scene. laughing

Why is WBD so eager to do that to 7BP stuff? They did it to Super-Pets too. Don’t Worry Darling stayed in theaters for 45 days.

So JG and PS may not be the only ones who don’t like whatever DJ is cooking. It looks like the tension started before them. Saslav may not like whatever DJ is cooking either. thinking

THR published an article with many leaks from JG-PS’ plans. I’ll post them in several threads.

THR: Patty Jenkins’ ‘Wonder Woman 3’ Not Moving Forward as DC Movies Hit Turning Point (Exclusive)
Also unlikely is a sequel to Black Adam. Despite the hype surrounding the movie of launching a new corner of DC, a lot of it led by star Dwayne Johnson, the movie has only grossed $385 million worldwide and insiders at the studio say the movie, which cost more than $190 million to produce (two sources peg the actual cost at $230 million, not including marketing), will be lucky to break even, even considering ancillary revenue. Even if the movie does eke out a minimal profit, any follow-up’s inherent rising costs dim the prospect of a sequel.
Johnson hoped to carve out his own piece of the DC pie, but multiple sources say his playing up of a returning Cavill and his own involvement with DC may not be endearing him to the new management. Johnson and Cavill are both managed by Dany Garcia, who is also Johnson’s producing partner. The perception of Adam turning a profit or not is a conflagration now being waged in public, with Johnson tweeting the movie would net over $50 million after a Variety story said the movie would lose over $50 million theatrically.

DJ

Waited to confirm with financiers before I shared this excellent #BlackAdam news - our film will PROFIT between $52M-$72M.
Fact.
At almost $400M worldwide we are building our new franchise step by step (first Captain America did $370M) for the DC future.

https://twitter.com/TheRock/status/1600589666683846656

Is he for real? Tequila must have killed all his brain cells.

CapA1 came out in 2011. Ever heard of inflation? It also had a $140 mil PB. It made its PB 2.6x.

2011 – $370,569,776 WW gross and PB $140,000,000
2022 – $490,951,947 WW gross and PB $185,479,974 (with inflation)

BA may not even reach $400 mil. And let’s not forget that CE wasn’t “the biggest draw in the world” or the highest paid actor.

And don’t forget how Morbius is considered a huge flop by the trades and outlets while it made its $75 mil PB 2.2x ($167,460,961). After all those articles, who in their right mind would believe BA, that only made 1.9x its $200 mil PB (after seven weeks), isn’t a flop? No sane person would spend a lot of money to promote a $75 mil film. But they will spend close to a $100 mil to promote a $200 mil film.

I couldn’t believe DJ did that. I wonder if he posted that with a serious face. There’s no way BA isn’t flop. rofl

BA may not even reach $400 mil. And let’s not forget that CE wasn’t “the biggest draw in the world” or the highest paid actor.

People shouldn’t compare BA with with CapA or H&S. They should compare it with DJ’s other films. H&S is a spinoff of a billion $ franchise and DJ is the co-lead with Jason Statham, who’s also a popular actor.

BA should be compared with Rampage (2018) and San Andreas (2015). They’re not a spinoff of a billion $ franchise and DJ is the only lead.

So, let’s see how they did (+ means with inflation).

PB $110 mil (+$138,307,885) – WW $473,990,832 (+$595,969,722) – China $103,190,000 (+$129,745,369) – Russia $10,094,957 (+$12,692,837) – San Andreas (2015)
PB $120 mil (+$142,415,145) – WW $428,028,233 (+$507,980,859) – China $156,381,897 (+$185,592,922) – Russia $06,400,000 (+$07,595,474) – Rampage (2018)

China really helped those films' WorldWide gross. If BA was released there, it could have grossed another $156,381,897 on top of its current $388,873,000. That would have been $545,254897 + Russia’s $12,692,837 = $557,947,734.

That’s still not 3x its $200 mil PB to break even. Keep in mind that I used inflation numbers and the highest Chinese (Rampage) and Russian (San Andreas) gross. Rampage and San Andreas were successful, because they had a smaller PB.

So, when DJ doesn’t have a popular co-lead, he should keep the PB small.

DG is doing some sort of damage control since she said that kissing her hubby is private. Now, she’s acting all horny with him to show that they’re in love and hot for each other. lol It’s just stupid. Many people don’t like PDA. They don’t like being all over each other in public. That’s it. Nothing wrong with that. Her damage control did more damage to her image as a mature woman above childish BS.

DG isn’t the only one. Thandiwe Newton and Katie Holmes do it too. rolling_eyes

Male celebs date younger women all the time, but I haven’t seen them act like horny teenagers with their partners in public yet. Female celebs feel they must behave like that or change in whatever their younger boy toys want. lol DG was with DJ for years, but she didn’t turn into a bodybuilder. She trained and did sports, like many of us. But insert young bodybuilder partner and she’s suddenly a bodybuilder. rofl

Seriously, why does the JL need BM? Brain? Money? Tech? WW, SM, Cyborg and Flash are all very smart. Do they need BM’s expensive high tech toys? Not really. They have Cyborg. He can access and control almost everything.

The MCU got it right. Tony Stark aka IronM is BM (billionaire, smart) and Cyborg (IronM suits and other high tech toys).

Fight fifteen years to make a movie and a cameo added last minute is the most important thing to talk about. A 2-hour movie and the most important thing to talk about is the few seconds post-credit scene. laughing

DJ keeps pissing people off. Why would that idiot say HC’s SM is better than CR’s? You’re right, tequila must have killed all his brain cells. lol He should leave HC out of his childish BS.

CR was the first theatrical SM and he isn’t among the living anymore. He’s like a saint now. lol Don’t say anybody is a better SM than him. It won’t go down well.

_Also unlikely is a sequel to Black Adam.

It’s funny how DJ used to brag about how expensive his films are, but now he wishes BA was cheaper. lol

According to DJ, it’s not a flop. He’s actually trying to debunk that on his Twitter. laughing

DJ keeps thinking because he assumes something it will automatically become fact. Too much tequila made him believe his own hype about being a big draw. lol He thought BA will be a big success that he kept saying that the hierarchy of power will change and a new DCEU era will begin. Now, he posted a Deadline (on his and DG’s beck and call) article full of assumptions as fact. They don’t know how BA will do in the ancillary market. They assume it will do Jumanji numbers or better than Jumanji in that market. lol BA will hit HBOM for no extra cost the 16th(?). Will it still sell many DVD/BR’s?

BA should be compared with Rampage (2018) and San Andreas (2015). They’re not a spinoff of a billion $ franchise and DJ is the only lead.

Yeah, but Rampage and San Andreas are exciting films. BA is not.

Is too late for that. DJ has created a mess of epic proportion. Unfortunately, he pulled HC into it.

  1. DJ wanted SM in BA, but WH said no.
  2. DJ decided to use headless SM like they did in S!.
  3. It leaked that SM will be headless in BA and there was some backlash.
  4. The buzz for BA was low, so DJ asked a trade to write that HC might be at SDCC to create buzz.
  5. DJ got booed when HC didn’t appear and realized that a headless SM in BA will really backfire.
  6. Saslav had the power to overrule WH and let HC’s SM appear in BA.
  7. WBD must recover BA’s $200 mil PB + $80 mil promo, so they needed HC to say SM is back to get fans excited.

IMO, if DJ didn’t pull HC into this mess, HC wouldn’t have said that he’s back as SM.

@AnnaB said:

Maybe DG will write a tell-all book à la Demi Moore and we’ll find out what else she did to be perceived as young by her younger partner.

DJ always tries to take over. He tried to do that with F&F too. He thought that he was the big draw. If that was true, H&S would have grossed a billion $. F&F9 was released during the pandemic and it grossed more than H&S. Vin Diesel is the draw, not DJ.

Unbelievable! WBD ordered another hit piece in Variety on DJ, even after he bowed down and accepted JG is the boss with his fake post about rooting for JG. Really? Both WBD and DJ behaved extremely unprofessional throughout the whole BA promo and theatrical run. The WBD d*ck heads didn’t acknowledge BA, as far as I know. DJ didn’t bother congrat JG when he was announced as co-CEO of DC Studio. He congrat BlackP2 instead.

So WTH happened? Suddenly they’ve realized that the public is watching them? That they should behave like grown men instead of teenage candy-arse b*tches? Well, too late!

Secret Meetings, Tequila and Black Adam vs. Superman: How Dwayne Johnson’s Bid for DC Power Flamed Out

Not long after the Warner Bros. Discovery merger closed in April, Dwayne Johnson directly pitched CEO David Zaslav on a multiyear plan for Black Adam and a Cavill-led Superman in which the two properties would interweave, setting up a Superman-versus-Black Adam showdown, sources say. “Black Adam” producers Hiram Garcia, who is Johnson’s former brother-in-law, and Beau Flynn also were part of the brain trust looking to take DC down a new path. Other sources confirmed the meeting but downplayed any discussion of Black Adam’s future.

Although the move took place amid a power vacuum created as former DC head Walter Hamada and Warner Bros. film chief Toby Emmerich prepared to exit, it ruffled feathers internally, sources add. “Dwayne went around everyone, which didn’t sit well,” says one.

Eventually, new Warner Bros. film co-heads Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy approved a Cavill cameo in “Black Adam,” despite the fact that Emmerich had made the call in 2018 to find another actor to don the red cape.

But “Black Adam,” which bowed Oct. 21, fizzled with a $391 million worldwide haul against a $195 budget plus $40 million in reshoots, scuttling any plans for more outings for the lightning bolt-wielding antihero and officially ending the Cavill Superman era. Cavill parted ways with his manager, Johnson’s ex-wife Dany Garcia, this year, but a source says it was unrelated to the DC drama and she remains a strategic adviser to the actor. Meanwhile, the Johnson-Warners relationship already was wearing thin after Johnson pushed for a producing credit on the animated film “DC League of Super-Pets,” which opened in July, but did little to promote it. The actor also insisted on a tequila bar at the New York premiere of “Black Adam” featuring his Teremana brand, despite the film being rated PG-13.

“His demands increased and the returns just weren’t there,” notes another insider.

Gisele and Tom used to engage in PDA. All kinds of cute poses. Tom’s hand on her butt. All that and football was his love, not Gisele. So… PDA doesn’t mean anything. It only makes a break up more painful. . You did all that PDA BS… make yourself look ridiculous or… like you’re putting on a show and it didn’t last.

Isn’t that what managers do? Also, DJ already debunked that. What’s the point of mentioning it again? Like I said… throw everything said on chat boards but the kitchen sink in the article.

Olivia Wilde put her reputation and career on the line with her alleged horny shenanigans on the set of DWD. Lots of PDA too. Now she and Harry broke up. Harry's millions of female fans already forgave him and are glad he’s single. Some say Olivia may not recover from the “scandal”. Of course, she won't. The woman shouldn’t be forgiven.
