More commercially viable directly against Justice League? Edge of Seventeen all over again.

Counter-programming against future DC Comics films could be economically viable, as we've learned DC doesn't scream "quality."

If they wanted to be ballsy, they'd open it up against Wonder Woman.

Wonder vs. Wonder Woman. How Wonderful.

Nice, like Inferno / Into the Inferno

November basically seems to be tentpoles and counterprogramming. Thor/Bad Moms 2, Daddys Home 2, JL/Wonder, Coco/Orient express.

Oh wow. Women LOVE Thor! I "wonder" how many will forego seeing Hemsworth's biceps to see Mila Kunis be a bad mother! I'm intrigued!

Based on the box office of previous Thor movies, it seems like a lot of fandom is more tumblr oriented than anything in the Bad Moms demo.

I'm genuinely not sure what that means. Thor has men, women, young, old, fanboys, MCU, Disney, sci-fi, fantasy, rom-com, etc. fanbases.

and Doctor Strange. And probably a couple other surprises we haven't heard of yet.

Not sure about anyone else, everytime there's news on this, I always think of Wonder Woman...

Is it just me: or does it seem "Wonder Woman's" buzz is beginning to slide? It'll be a hit--but can't be much bigger than SUPE2 or SUICD.

No, it's just you.

In all seriousness, if SUICD can gross $283M (by delist), I'd think Wonder Woman could too even with the summer competition

Which admittedly, SUICD did not have.

LEAVY, THBDY, and BGUIL are not competition for WONDR. TRWRC made $100M so there's an audience for MTDTR.

TRWRC had Apatow. This has Goldie Hawn's plastic face. LEAVY, THBDY, and BGUIL are female-driven counter programming to the "male gaze."

They would have zero effect on WONDR's opening weekend.

Who's talking about just OW...? I'm talking the full 4 wks till delist. Isn't that what we're all trading for in the post-OW adjust HSX era?

Stiffer competition can take hold if DC Comics's films have not improved their critical quality (including WONDR) by then.

and little effect by WONDR's third and fourth weekend.

Warner Bros. would be thrilled if it's that "disappointing"

Warner Bros., so far, has treated DC like a spoiled child: big box office, but they've not been happy at all with the films or fan backlash.
