Now picture how hard it is to get a D.I didn't think that movie would be rated so high, given how low it typically is when compared to other MCU movies.

History has been made:
Seems pretty on-brand for a guy like Zaslav, to be honest. Can't wait until the shareholders get tired of losing money and finally get rid of him.Is there anything more Zaslav than not releasing Batgirl because he thinks it's not good enough and then spend $200 million on a Joker sequel which gets the lowest CinemaScore for a comic book film ever?
Unfortunately, it might be too late and the only way out would be to sell to Universal or something. Zaslav is killing the studio.Seems pretty on-brand for a guy like Zaslav, to be honest. Can't wait until the shareholders get tired of losing money and finally get rid of him.

I bet it's because the average joe wasn't expecting it to be a musical
Movies with deceptive marketing tend to score terribly on CS
I think Wicked is more clear it's a musical. At least Wicked has a reputation for being a musical to the general public, so that's easier for people to understand. It'd be like if you make a new version of Rent or Phantom of the Opera, you know what to expect. This one I agree it wasn't clear in the trailers.Question for Hollywood as a whole. Why the hell do you keep making musicals if you’re afraid to let people know that they are musicals? I guess with Joker 2, it kinda makes sense to hide it in the marketing because you don’t know whether people are going to vibe with that. But I also keep seeing the trailers for WICKED and it’s not even clear that it’s a musical. They play one of the big songs throughout but if you aren’t familiar with the show, you might not even realize that it’s actually sung during the movie. There are no shots of people in the film actually singing (just a lot of crashing through windows and magic stuff). I’m just like… if making musicals today is such a huge risk that you feel the need to try and fool the audience into thinking these movies aren’t musicals… maybe you just shouldn’t make musicals?!

Yes there is more. Like giving a third rate wrestling company $150 million a year.Is there anything more Zaslav than not releasing Batgirl because he thinks it's not good enough and then spend $200 million on a Joker sequel which gets the lowest CinemaScore for a comic book film ever?
South Korea has the right idea with that golden egg, rotten egg, fresh egg compared to this tomato nonsense.

Yeah, I can imagine a whole ton of people doing a simultaneous WTF when that started. (haven’t seen, just imagining). Although it sounds like film is **** regardless of that.I bet it's because the average joe wasn't expecting it to be a musical

Cinemascores are usually very generous-sounding compared to how letter grades are often used. A B/B- is not good. A D I’ve never even heard of, can’t even remember when I saw a C. This is a truly crazy reaction.I didn't think that movie would be rated so high, given how low it typically is when compared to other MCU movies.
Zaslav is the worst. But to be a tiny bit fair, this movie was greenlit under the last regime. Though it was completely made under this one.Unfortunately, it might be too late and the only way out would be to sell to Universal or something. Zaslav is killing the studio.
