Looks like The Crow and Madame Web have competition for The Razzies Honestly while this'll probably get some meme nods I'd imagine Borderlands will sweep them.

It was tracking to make $60-75 million as recently as Wednesday.
Word of mouth wiped out almost half its projected ticket sales in four days.

It bares noting that that $40 million number is pretty much definitely an overestimation and the final number will be lower. Incredibly unlikely with the legs it's had so far that this thing makes $10 million on a Sunday after only making that much on a Saturday.
Though it is apparently having decent legs in Europe so far.

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.. The Suicide Squad also came out during COVID and was also immediately released on HBO Max, so it's tricky to actually see it's box office. It was one of the most streamed movies on Max however... and speaking of the Bros are blaming James Gunn for this... even though Todd Phillips said that James Gunn had no part in this movie.

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 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 definitely have to agree about Margot Robbie. For all the shitty mistakes made in regards to DC movies over the last decade or so, hiring her was not one of them. She's probably the only reason I'd consider sitting through the first Suicide Squad movie again, because of how damn good she was as Harley.

Birds of Prey was a fun movie failed by absolutely atrocious marketing. Also wasn't helped at all by COVID destroying its international box office.

If she was in better movies and more successful movies as her, her performance with Harley would be up there along Hugh Jackson as just ideal casting for the character. I think she's fantastic. As it is, she is tarred with the brush of original Suicide Squad being naff, and Birds of Prey kinda being forgotten.

The thing with Harley is that the journey is just as important as the destination. Robbie could have done justice to a strong movie about Harley breaking away from the Joker and forming a friendship with the likes of Ivy but we never really got that as the DCU was such a mess all the critical parts of her development were skipped over to get to the merch friendly anti-hero without ever really earning that. People liked her as the character, but I'd argue audiences never really got the chance to be deeply invested in her especially with the questionable marketing of Birds of Prey and the overestimated value of the Suicide Squad as a brand after the 2016 film.

Yeah, that's some absolute fudging just to ensure it gets a 4-number news headline, as opposed to an even worse 3-number. And the associated embarrassment if that was lower than Morbius's $39 million. The European opening is better, but it's still not great and won't be enough. Watching the legs for this one is going to be fascinating.

NOBODY was in my theater. Actually no, this one couple walked in about a third into it (which is roughly about how long it takes for stuff to actually start happening) and they left halfway through maybe one of the trial scenes . But aside from them, me and the organ conductor who plays jingles before the screenings, empty.
