If this is a fan service movie, it will open 3 digits...easy.

If it's as tonally wrong and terrible with iconic characters as BvS, it will disappoint and its legs will be non-existant.  

I honestly don't know which movie this will be - I don't know if the rushed reshoots right after BvS will help or hurt the overall movie and its tone and quality.  

I'm hoping it's good.  Suicide Squad is a hugely popular comic "villain" team and we haven't seen a DC/Marvel one on screen ever (or at least as long as I've watched movies) - I want to watch this one in theaters...I don't want to walk into my local comic shop and be told to not give one dime ever to the movie (like I was told for BvS - nothing like comic book store fan boys and girls literally warning folks to avoid a movie like the plague - I instantly knew how short those BvS legs would be)...

DC needs to learn you gotta make a movie the uber-fans like 1st, so they can advertise it for you...you make one they hate and you get BvS again...

If it does 94m like guardians it's a decent short at current price. I think it does 115ish+ {nm} Hersheybar Jul 12, 19:24

With a title like that, it's not going to have the kids/family audience of Guardians... {nm} diamondman56 Jul 12, 19:36

If they can capture 80% of the deadpool OW audience...... MattW Jul 12, 19:50

Deadpool looked like it was going to be a lot of fun based on the advertising (and it was) shadowking Jul 12, 19:56

That is not true re: Suicide Squad and you know that. {nm} Jay_Beezy Jul 12, 20:20

It's a matter of opinion, so doesn't mean it's not true - just depends on what you like. {nm} JDolphin Jul 12, 22:16

its been leaked that DC has done reshoots to make the movie lighter and given direction to future films for that direction {nm} Moviesnob Jul 12, 22:21

The commercials I've seen so far haven't shown that. {nm} JDolphin Jul 12, 23:57

Based on the trailers and few tv commercials I've seen it looks like BvS + Watchmen, but even less coherent. That's my true opinion. shadowking Jul 13, 05:58

The trailers are dreadful. They've convinced me completely to not see the movie. I agree, it's pretty subjective. {nm} goodvibe61 Jul 13, 07:07

I'm just saying that we know thats not what they are going for and its because most people thought the trailers were fun Moviesnob Jul 13, 08:54

+1, the comparisons to GOTGX are just to clue in people who thought this would only get $60M, or thought it'd suffer another box office flop {nm} chosenone2oo5 Jul 13, 02:36
