Well BvS is almost guaranteed a flop. Civil War will make an easy billion.

Civil war is going to go through the roof.

Jason Bourne is probably my top movie I'm looking forward too - this summer.

Outside of Civil War I'm going to have to say Suicide Squad for me. Affleck is a terrible Batman. He looks like a perfect Batman if they made a movie about Gotham Impostors. Since Fox & WB share the same business model I wonder how X:A is going to stack against BvS.

I'm very excited for suicide squad, but what's up with jocking the Wayne's world soundtrack for the trailers?? Margot Robie looks amazing as Harley Quinn, Jared Leto may be the most psychotic joker ever , he'll Jai Courntey looks decent especially if they allows him to use his natural accent and be nuts.

Jungle Book was ok - Bill Murray and Christopher Walken steal the show.
It's a good movie, I had expected better.

I kinda want to see Criminal and I saw the light - but I can wait until video.
Saw Jungle Book this weekend and Hardcore Henry....

Liked the Jungle Book and enjoyed HCH.... Both pretty good.

Next on the list, Civil War...... I like the Spidey scene
BVS was not the movie I thought it was going to be. I mean,I like it but didn't love it. Still,it's already made over $250 million in profit but it shouldn't have made much more. I'm looking forward to Civil War and Suicide Squad!!

Civil war seems to be he next big thing - I'll go see Huntsman - big Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron , Emily Blunt, and Jessica chastain fan , but I did t die for the original , but I don't care for Kristen Stewart, the only think I ever actually liked her in is Panic Room and even thier she's bratty.

Civil War contains IMAX Sequnces FYI!!!!

Naw dawg, no profit for BvS. WB is on damage control about that. Originally they needed to hit low 900 million to break even. Now they're saying 800 million. Financially, the movie flopped.

If for some stupid unforeseen reason SS flops that's going to be the nail in DC's coffin on the big screen.

How in the fuck could a movie that starring Batman,Superman and Wonder Woman be a fucking flop?!? WB should have drop Zack off the JL movie and put in either Ben Affleck or George Miller! Or if they couldn't have dropped him,make sure you have a hard-ass producer to keep him on check! Now I can't wait for Civil War and Suicide Squad!!

Rule of thumb for a movie to be considered a success aka hit the profits numbers is 2.5 the amount to make the movie plus marketing. Majority of the time marketing cost are kept a secret. Obviously with BvS they spent a fuck load of money as if Bruce Wayne really was funding this.

DC historically has some retards in control of how they do things on the small and big screen. Have you ever seen Young Justice? It was an animated series from five years ago. Great plot, great ratings, great fan base, etc. Every thing a studio would want from a tv show. It was cancelled after two seasons. Know why? Because the toys connected to the series weren't selling.

C'mon look at their track record. All they have been feeding us is a Batman or Superman movie every few years. It's like they have no faith in any other hero/villain from their line up.

Synder is a hack. Fuck him. Fuck Nolan also. Marvel laid the blueprint out on how to do a comic movie just right (even though they have their fair share of misses) yet Nolan and others are telling DC things should be done differently.

In all honesty it's not even worth getting worked up about. I think Marvel is going to oversaturate the market with films to the point even fans will get tired of it.

I acutally really like Zack Snyder, More so for his work before superman and I am a huge Nolan fan, but i think Nolan is more interested in a "one off" then creating a whole shared Cinematic universe. He likes to keep things new and fresh.

I think Sucicde Squad will be good and supposedly it's part batman movie. that's the one true DC property that has alwasy done well for the WB.

The problem with Dawn of Justice is DC is trying to duplicate marvel's Success by jumping over a few steps. they should have built the world up with seperate movies, before dawn of justice.
