But they test screened Batgirl and Coyote vs ACME, both which received very positive reviews at those screenings, and shelved them both. Fantastic business... Gee, I wonder why...

So IIRC, Batgirl tested pretty poorly. But yeah, Coyote vs ACME tested really well but still got wrote off.

Disappointed to see it not live it to the original.
Just means I save myself a few bucks and few hours.

This thread is the first I've heard of The Wild Robot. I'll have to check that out.

Since Batgirl's cancellation, the only DC movie released that might have reached the break even line was Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom thanks to foreign markets. A note, Blue Beetle shouldn't really count because it was destroyed by the strikes and nobody being able to promote it, it's apparently been a big streaming hit, and was really f***ing good. Batgirl cost $90 million to make, it would not have lost as much as any of the other movies.

It really is rich that they said Batgirl would tarnish the DC brand but they're on a six movie flop streak now between Black Adam, Shazam 2, The Flash, Blue Beetle, Aquaman, and this. And it's not like it's sunshine and rainbows before that either; The Batman was a hit but the movies before it were Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman 1984, the Snyder Cut, and The Suicide Squad which all also lost a ton of money and only The Suicide Squad was particularly liked of those..

Movie did $10.5 million for Saturday compared to the $13 million day-of on Friday, when ordinarily Saturday does better than day-of Friday does. Movie's now looking like it'll do around $37-$38 million for the weekend.
For those keeping track Morbius did $39 million, so once again, Morbius wins.

I enjoyed Birds of Prey. But I am absolutely baffled why they gave it a stupid name and didn't just call it "Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey" Harley was the draw. Nobody went to see that to see The Huntress or Black Canary

Imagine being a Joker movie that will earn far less and be more embarrassing than the movie that had the Jared Leto Joker. That's like being told by Zack Snyder to show some restraint and lighten up in your storytelling.
Honestly, I'm almost impressed that Phillips essentially made a film for no one. The movie (either through intention or sheer incompetence) comes off as spiteful towards those that liked the original Joker so that crowd isn't interested, people who didn't like the 2019 release have nothing to draw them in, audiences not fond of musicals are turned off by the songs, those who like musicals have heard the singing bits aren't that well done, and for Gaga fans, there's been complaints she's not in it enough.
If you told me this film was part of complicated WBD scheme to give the executives an excuse to cancel projects and shuffle money around, I'd honestly believe it given how utterly financially doomed this movie seemed designed to be.

Granted he did want to do that to Batman so not too many points there.

Nobody went to see that to see The Huntress or Black Canary Yeah, I enjoyed Birds of Prey. Margot Robbie nailed it which was no shock, Mary Elizabeth Winstead's Huntress was good and she had rage issues, and Ewan as Black Mask should be more remembered among fantastic comic villains in movies. I've rewatched it multiple times and haven't regretted it.

I don't understand how you can fumble the bag like this. It's not just the director, everyone else had to sign off on this as well.
