Yaaaayyy this is good news for me because of a work project, wooooo!

I'm sad that BoP is such a failure because I really want a Huntress based spinoff. MEW was easily best in show as the crossbow killer Huntress.

Everyone other than you is saying Black Canary was the standout.

Which I agree with.

Huntress was okay but that was the writing.

I wouldn't call it a flop just yet. It has good reviews, audience scores and word of mouth. It's not a hit, sure, but it might be enough to give it legs and a sequel.

Totally. BoP would like to be excluded from this narrative. The global box office is $160M right now. People keep acting like InCels staying home means the movie isn't good and that's nonsense. It rules!

Sonic was surprisingly VERY GOOD. I genuinely laughed throughout the whole movie and Jim Carrey is cast perfectly. James Marsden needs to be recognized for his acting skills because he was basically acting with a puppet most of the movie and I believed Sonic existed.

I'm here for a Sonic franchise. I would watch all of them.

how tf did Birds of Prey bomb that hard

A lot of people didn’t like the advertising and presentations of the film before it got released. Almost everyone here hated the styling and trailers. Then there’s also the misogynists dudebros dead set against this doing well.

Also some people didn’t like Suicide Squad and by association wouldn’t go see BOP even though it wasn’t the same creative team behind it.

I'm assuming the R rating also didn't help out its case (besides everything else that the user above me commented with)

oh damn I didn't even realize that, what a huge mistake

[alienjive]

Same I’m weeping lmao
