Kalbear Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 It has a potential win in that it is one of the first hispanic heroes on the screen of any real note. I don't think it's going to appeal the same way that Black Panther did in that I don't think it's centered on that as part of the hero part - it's more that that's his background and family - but that may help it get a bigger audience than folks are thinking.

Yea this is the one wildcard, I have no idea how much this will factor in. Aquaman 2? Who the fuck knows. By rights it should flop as well, but why on earth did the first one make so much? Critics didn’t care for it, Aquaman had a rushed introduction in a terrible Justice League film. Still baffled by that one, so all bets are off for the sequel.

Corvinus85 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Blue Beetle doesn't look very expensive to me. Its effects are not top end. So if it is a flop, it might not be that big of a flop. George Lopez and the the lead actor who's also in Cobra Kai may attract a crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 2 hours ago, DaveSumm said: Any guesses on how well Blue Beetle does? It’s lumbered with the same problems as Flash (except one glaring one), doesn’t have Batman Flash or Supergirl, and features a superhero nobody had heard of until now. This could flop really, really hard. I’m not optimistic for any of the CBM’s yet to be released this year. the question with Blue Beetle and Aquaman 2 is what kind of marketing spend are they going to see? I know the former comes out in 1.5 months and aside from a very generic trailer, I’m not seeing much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be right, and I'd considered this [in the vein of Kamala Khan et fam] but I don't know. Obviously, if it's actually pretty decent and gets good word of mouth it might do alright, but I'm sensing another comparative flop. --- Wonder if Gunn is secretly relieved Flash panned. I'm also very curious about his Superman: Legacy script. Hope he has it in him. Edited June 29, 2023 by JGP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartofice Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I actually want Blue Beetle to do really well and make the most money of any DC movie, because it would make zero sense and confuse everyone so much they would have no idea what movies to make in the future.

I have never in my life heard of the blue beetle. I saw a poster at the theater and thought it was some mummy type of thing. Then saw a preview. If it is able to lean in on the humor it may be ok, if not it's screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, but I'm not getting a date for GotG vol 3 either, when I checked my pre order for that and I think that's suppose to release next week.

And knowing Hollywood, they'll interpret the movie's failure as a sign that people don't want hispanic heroes... Because the (predicted) failure can't be related to movie released in a canceled franchise and/or just poor story/movie, right? JGP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment Hollywood has more pressing issues to deal with; the writers strike and the likely SAG strike, are basically going to shut the entire industry down.

Corvinus85 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 The Flash has become the biggest superhero flop in US box office history with an expected loss of $200 mil. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/flash-now-worst-box-office-050739648.html It's also saying something that the previous record holder came out this year, too.
