Justice League Justice League Box Office Prediction - Part 7

[Vaibow]

It's quite simple, there is indeed a toy line aimed at kids - not all kids will see the movie but they sure will see the cool trailer on tv and want the toys - even if they don't see the movie, they will still see cool toys in the store. Plus, it's also advertising the movie.

Then there is a pricier, more - let's say 'articulate' toy line (see what i did there) which appeals to the adult collectors, the kids old enough to appreciate a better quality toy/character and stocking fillers when parents are wondering what to get - it's all about choice.
No average parent will be looking to get their kids the complete movie masters set, maybe one or two as a special gift - the kid may specifically ask for them and that's where the toy biz make their money.
A lot of kids after say 10 years old, like looking at cooler, more detailed toys and have them on display as well as gentle playing.

Tell that to Baywatch. I love him though.

Not exactly. The Rock is a massive B.O. draw and he deserves it but Jumangi only proves that a good movie featuring the rock makes buck while a bad one (baywatch) flops like any other movie.

I've never been exactly right in my entire life. In fact, our theories about how the universe works, while helpful, aren't exact....oh, but I digress....

Yeah.... I don't think you can point to any actor who hasn't been involved in a movie that didn't do well at the box office. The question is whether or not that actor helped at the box office and by how much. I wonder how Baywatch would have done without him......prolly wouldn't have been made....unless they had David Hasselhoff waiting in the wings....

Bottom line is that Dwayne is getting paid because he's making people money and not the other way around.

EDIT: Yet another example of how I'm never exactly right.

I think the point being made is that there were all sorts of marketing materials made for Batman v Superman to appeal to kids and younger audiences. Warner Bros. was definitely making material for the film for it to appeal to broader demographic.

As for the Netflix shows, yeah kids can buy the Pops and Marvel Legends toys. However, Marvel Legends figures are generally aimed at the older collector market. I know kids probably like Pops, but Pops have a huge older collector demographic as well

I think the phrase 'limping to the finish line' doesn't even begin to cover this....

 

[FunkMiller]

I think the phrase 'limping to the finish line' doesn't even begin to cover this....

Yes. And in any sensible reality this performance would be enough to kill off a cinematic universe stone dead.

I think the phrase 'limping to the finish line' doesn't even begin to cover this....

Yes, going out with a whimper for sure. Ragnarok is now beating its JL's daily numbers, and remains in more theaters, despite being released 2 weeks earlier. T:R will probably still be playing 2-3 weeks after JL is totally gone.

It will hobble past "Hancock" on the superhero domestic list when it finishes with $229M, in 28th place all-time, unadjusted.

 

[Timebomb]

To bad WB is not sensible. Or at least they haven't proven that they are.

I do feel bad for Aquaman. My anticipation for JL was meh. My anticipation for Aquaman is whatever is below meh.

To overcome LOGAN's domestic cume by a mere $3m is hilariously poetic, and actually overdeserving for JL.

I do feel bad for Aquaman. My anticipation for JL was meh. My anticipation for Aquaman is whatever is below meh.

My anticipation for Aquaman is now almost non-existent after JL.

You, me, a vast majority of the movie going audience, who don’t post on forums and aren’t loyal fans of one comic book brand or another...

Aquaman is potentially in a lot of trouble.

Let’s hope they can do a good job with the marketing, because it isn’t going to get the same cultural zeitgeist WW got. This is just another superhero movie starring a buff dude. Selling it after JL is going to be a *****.

Agreed, especially since JL did not build the hype for him at all. At least from what I see.
It will be some of the underwater footage that makes or breaks this movie. That is a lot of pressure

 

[Johnglen]

Jumanji passed justice league worldwide and deservingly so.

That is the double edged sword of the WB method of introducing characters. The interest in a character's spin-off movie is going to depend on how they are received in their ensemble or supporting appearance, which sometimes works (Wonder Woman and Black Panther) but just as often doesn't pan out (remember Sony's plans for all those spin-offs that got tabled when Amazing Spider-Man 2 underperformed?)

Wonder Woman had a crazy level of hype as well as being widely considered as one of the few bright spots of Batman v. Superman, but I'm not sure if Aquaman was as well received in Justice League.

 

[Playco Armboy]

Does Justice League even have a shot at $660m anymore?

 

[ImSGirl95]

So, um ... The Jumanji movie already passed JL worldwide ....

 

[Micromind]

I guess I have to prepare myself to hear how some low key action movie or some Marvel movie has made more money than Justice League for the rest of my life.

 

[Mandon Knight]

Does Justice League even have a shot at $660m anymore?

no, not by my maths, it'll be out of theatre's in the next two weeks and has about $3 million to find and there is no way it'll gather that much up in that time at the daily rate it's currently making.

Does it really bother you that much? haha

 

[FunkMiller]

but I'm not sure if Aquaman was as well received in Justice League.

Aquaman was about as well received in Justice League, as Psylocke was in X-Men Apocalypse. That's about the right comparison.

And therein lies the problem...

So, um ... The Jumanji movie already passed JL worldwide ....

Wow. Okay. Yeah. I mean, just... wow.

Thank you WB and Zack Snyder.

Such a misunderstood visionary genius... t:

[JOE]

Three strikes and you're out I guess... I wonder what his directing future will be like.

 

[MbJ]

He'll land on his feet. I mean, look at how many big movies he's been given despite a pretty middling to bad box office track record after 300. He's supposedly a really nice and personable guy in person, and that can go a long way in an industry built on who you know.

It must go a long way considering it kept him employed with WB for 4 years after MOS was released. The guy must be a living saint.

 

[ultradog]

Does Justice League even have a shot at $660m anymore?

No, it's at $654.4M, has roughly $2M left, will end up at $656M and change.
