James Gunn after announcing that no trailer was ever officially confirmed for next week...

 

[Sawyer]

Fingers crossed.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Conjuring had a test screening this week. Supes must be under more lock and key.

 

[dhandler01]

I hold to the axom that I don't trust reports on test screenings.

They are finally ending the original Fox X-Men. Hopefully they will do them justice. I think it’s obvious they will die in the Doomsday movie.

It is 2014 and I’m watching the Fox X-Men’s final send off...

It is 2017 and I’m watching the Fox X-Men’s final send off...

It is 2024 and I'm watching the Fox X-Men’s final send off...

It is 2026 and I'm watching the Fox X-Men’s final send off...

But we are still watching!

Veterans such as us should know better lol. Gunn would really have to fumble Superman pretty hard. Givin' how he does know how to speak to audiences, I just don't see that happening as a big picture. Personal taste is a completely different barometer.

 

[Adrian Chase]

But we are still watching!

Honestly?
My interest is never been lower.
I'm tired of these soulless and programmatic operations.

Whenever I want to rewatch a good multiverse-themed X-Men movie, I always know where to look.

Fair, but most are still watching haha!

So what?
Luckily I still have a functioning brain and can think for myself.

ViewerAnon was on reddit and referred to the test screening. "Just to keep expectations in check, the response I heard directly from Warner Brothers was decidedly less glowing than Daniel's post. Not to say it went terribly, but it's a divisive film with a particularly silly tone. Some people click with it, some people seem to bounce right off."

He then revealed a spoiler sublot pointing towards the tone.

You can't put much stock in any of these reports but I wouldn't be surprised we hear contradicting reports all the way to the film's release.

What was your opinion of the subplot?

 

[STARMAN]

What was your opinion of the subplot?

The subplot involved the secondary characters and probably is a minor one. I couldn't really make anything of it. He actually said that particular subplot was great but used it as an example of the tone. We're going to hear a million more of these test reaction rumors but at least ViewerAnon usually has good intentions. We might have to start being careful of actual plot leaks now.

This was the exact word that stuck out to me immediately. Now I'm going to have nightmares. Thanks, BN.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

Divisive is a usually good sign there's actual creativity involved. The last thing the media landscape needs right now is anymore safe blandness. Just sounds like James Gunn made a James Gunn movie. Which is what the focus should be first and foremost, not the crushing pressure of this being a perfect representation of Superman that'll save WB and DC on film yadda yadda yadda. I don't know if I'll like that tone in a Superman movie but you hired James Gunn to make it, I don't want him to write Clark like Star Lord but I also have no interest in him turning off his style.

It ended with Logan and DOFP for me.

 

[emielaen]

We really getting weird over a film being labeled divisive 4 months before it comes out lol how does all of his work have this supposedly audience-splitting humor yet he mostly gets praise from critics and audiences alike? It's gonna be the flavor of a Gunn film. You like it or you don't.

[AverageMan]

People on Twitter saying the sub plot leak is now out there.
Just an FYI in case anyone accidently comes across it.

I think the same goes for anyone who grew up with these movies and really loved these characters.

 

[DCDAVE]

Now all of sudden we hear overwhelmingly positive rumors about the movie and of course somebody goes to Reddit to say not so fast…… July 11th can’t get here quick enough.

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

I still just don’t know if Gunn’s style is the right fit for Superman. TBH, I haven’t really enjoyed any of Gunn’s DC projects so far. Peacemaker was the best of the bunch but a lot of the humor was too sexual or just didn’t hit for me. I enjoyed all of his Marvel work thoroughly though.

I hope that audiences respond to this positively but I think there’s a very real chance this movie makes 400-600 million, and the DCU gets scrapped and DC or even WB itself is sold to Amazon or Netflix or Disney or something.

 

[GreenKToo]

I don't think so. But I don't think we are looking at a billion either.
Gunn is his own biggest critic. He will tweak it, and tweak it again until he's satisfied.
And he won't let just yes men or women screen it. He wants honest opinions.

As of now. I think anywhere from 670 million to 750 million.
I may go up, or down, with my estimate.
It really depends on the trailer, and the reaction the public has to it, ie, positive or negative.
