Not a great hold on a weekend where all the other holdovers stayed around 25 to 40% drops.

I took my 11 yr old grandson to see it yesterday. We both enjoyed the movie. And, of course, the popcorn.

I'd definitely take the under on that bet.....

 

[Finito]

Did you answer your own question? No, I get it, word of mouth isn't going to boost it so quickly. I'm betting it garnered a lot of viewers who finally got to see themselves be the super hero. One of the coolest things I've ever heard of a moviegoer saying was from a farmer walking out of Interstellar, saying "Hey, we got to be the heroes for once."

Nope. We aren’t gonna go see some mid movie because Hollywood tried to throw us a bone with this trash

No I haven’t seen it and I’m not going to

 

[Town Drunk]

I dont have much interest in this. Maybe I’ll give it a go when it’s on Max.

 

[Covert Rain]

I'd definitely take the under on that bet.....

I think Gunn may have the worst timing in the world. I think Comic Book fatigue is real. He may now be the captain of sinking ship. Factor in the fans dissapointment with many of his decisions? This might be a perfect storm and like I said incredibly bad timing for him.

Movie is just over 100million at this point. This is not good, Mav..... This is not good.....

 

[UncleChris]

As of today, movie is at a little over 120 million. Considering it only made 2.5 mill over the last weekend (Sept 15), it's going to be a helluva haul trying to gross the projected minimum or 140 mill.

 

[Phrazbit]

The decision to launch the tent pole of your new saga of cinematic story telling with a character that 99% of the population has never heard of and an actor that 95% of the population isn't aware of seems like a terrible call.

When you factor in that major comic book titles with A-List stars are under performing right now... it's a recipe for disaster.

DC reset, phase 4, incoming.

 

[SunsTzu]

I really wanted to like this movie. I liked the old animated series and I like the lead actor, but this thing has to be one of the most paint by numbers super hero movies ever. Just really disappointing and dull.

 

[UncleChris]

This film is going to be lucky to hit $130 (at just barely over $129m right now) and will fall way short of it's projected minimum of $140 million. It will lose more than $70 million for the studio.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Was bored

 

[UncleChris]

Glad I chose the "under" on $140 million. Finished just under $130 million.

just watched this the other day on Max I think it was.
never heard of the blue beetle before.
from that perspective I appreciated the in depth origin story. But at some point I expected the alien symbiote empowered super hero to...you know...kick someones ass...... but instead he gets the big bads henchman to explore his feelings and suicide bomb himself?? wtf?
wasnt a terrible flick though...Ill watch a sequel

I also just watched it on Max and it was not good.

You had Susan Sarandon and you did this??

Didn’t love it or hate it. It was alright.
