Justice League Justice League Box Office Prediction - Part 7

[Reel-Man]

Deservedly so.

 

[Mandon Knight]

Final global box office of $657.9 million.

Overseas - $428,900,000
Domestic - $229,024,295

 

[FunkMiller]

Utterly and comprehensively pathetic. The culmination of five years of awful mismanagement and poor decision making.

@ERCboxoffice delivers one final shot to the crotch:

Last week, JUSTICE LEAGUE tapped out domestically with $229M, barely squeezing past Will Smith's drunk, homeless and unknown superhero, HANCOCK, which delivered $227M back in 2008, or $291M when adjusted for inflation.

 

[Bruce Malone]

Final global box office of $657.9 million.

Overseas - $428,900,000
Domestic - $229,024,295

Taking inflation into account I wonder which film was more or less profitable this or Superman Returns?

Domestically, at least, Superman Returns did much better with an adjusted $280 million.

 

[FunkMiller]

On adjusted grosses, Justice League only made $15 million dollars more than Batman And Robin.

That's still a whole lotta people grossed.

 

[The Batman]

Final global box office of $657.9 million.

Overseas - $428,900,000
Domestic - $229,024,295

What a fitting end to the utterly underwhelming Snyder era of DCEU films.

One question, when you say "taking inflation into account", in what ways would you say that would affect that movie's profitability?

Just want to make sure there isn't some massive misunderstanding going on here. Everyone here understands that taking inflation into account could also make the older movie's "profits" go down, right? And that ticket price inflation must be completely ignored when talking about profitability?

I don’t see that option in the poll.

Yeah, if Inflation is taken into account, then it affects not just the amount of money earned at Box Office but also production budget, marketing budget and tickets costs.

So, everything has to be adjusted.

Eh? We all know everything was greatness until Whedon ruined it.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.

Well, you could do it by adjusting every single revenue stream for CPI inflation(no ticket price inflation though, just adjust the studio's share of the ticket price for CPI inflation), but that would be a lot of unnecessary work. It would be much easier to just completely ignore inflation while calculating its profits at the time. Then the net profits number would be the only number you have to adjust, and you would get the exact same result. You would just take the net profits number and adjust it for CPI inflation to see how much money you would need to have the same amount of purchasing power today.

Ticket price inflation would be completely irrelevant to the calculation.

I guess where at the last stage- acceptance, but somehow i cant get passed denial.

 

[Lookhowfunnyiam]

Sadly, it's just the level of expectation levelled at JL to do £1B+ or be regarded as 'failing', which is BS frankly.

Frankly untrue, not at the cost of production. Spider-Man Homecoming cost $170 million to make whereas Spider-Man 3 was almost 300 million dollars. Homecoming did well, but it didn’t have to do AS well for people to be cool with the numbers. A movie making twice it’s production budget in box office before marketing is a failure to literally 100% of people with basic industry knowledge. That’s why Superman Returns didn’t get a sequel - yeah on paper you can say “it made more than its budget” but after theater cuts, marketing, everything, it wasn’t near profitable to want to risk hundreds of millions to more to hopefully make what amounts to loose change by comparison. If you’re spending and risking hundreds of millions of dollars, you want hundreds of millions in profit, you don’t want a couple mil. Otherwise you could have just made a bunch of lower-budget movies. That’s why there’s so many horror movies - one can make 35 million and be a big success because it only cost $4 million to make. Whereas Justice League can make 650 million and ABSOLUTELY be a failure because it cost 300 mil.

Whedon's reshoots destroyed the DCeU. Not MOS, BvS and most of JL.

I think Snyder fans are low key hoping the cut never gets released... Then they won't be able to use Whedon as a scapegoat. #ReleaseTheSnyderCut

It’s Official: Justice League is the Lowest-Grossing DCEU Movie

https://www.cbr.com/justice-league-lowest-grossing-dceu-movie/

Making headlines everywhere..

 

[The Joker]

^ How embarrassing. This was their stab at The Avengers of the DCEU. But given how sloppily the franchise has been handled, it was not hard to see this coming.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Pray for DC fans.

"We were talking about how to, kinda, go forward with Batm.. eh... Superman, like, what to do with him. Like, you know, what should he fight next? [sic] We talked about Brainiac and a couple of other guys, and I think we had this conversation about... maybe it's Batman?"

Is that a Snyder quote?

This was extremely telling about the perception of the franchise right now. The ultimate culmination of everything the franchise had been building to, and moviegoers collectively said pass.
