Months ago I was just hoping for a Man of Steel level of quality decent movie. Now Iron Man and Winter Soldier comparisons have me pumped.

Eh doesn't feel like either of those movies at all imo. It sorta feels like it's own thing. Closest I would compare it to is Cap 1 but even still feels a lot different than that.
But yeah it's great
Any day now.
Holy shit.

Prolly drank the Kool-Aid concerning the "production troubles" (combined with the abysmal quality of WW's forerunners) and thought it was vulnerable to counter programming.

It was probably Fox's decision. Everything DreamWorks Animation releases after Captain Underpants will be distributed by Universal from here on out.

I think WW playing surprisingly well to families hurt Captain Underpants pretty bad.
That's pretty likely. The showing I went to had a lot of moms bringing their daughters with them, and the film isn't so violent that it would be that upsetting to younger kids.

Until something comes along and changes the mindset of the population at large clamoring for something new, Hollywood wants to keep churning it out
Hell soon Marvel movies will be going through a reboot of sorts after Phase 4 starts
No clue what could make it big as source material, maybe Disney uses that Marvel and Star Wars magic and creates like a video game universe type of thing using gaming industry icons as it's setups

I think I've ran out of things to say about WW so, uh, I'll go with: yay!
Also, there's a Churchill movie starring Brian Cox? And it's bad? Aw...

It doesn't share that much in common with The Winter Soldier.
Expect a likeable pair of leads, a good mix of humor, and Man of Steel style feats of superhero strength/action.

WW was amazingggg, can not wait to see it again,glad it's really breaking out as a word of mouth "you must see this" type of deal
also I want to point out here Underpants was made for literal pennies; budget is only 38 million. Seems like a great opening for it imho. I cant wait to see it soon tbh, loved the books as a kid

The only place i worry about is China. While wonder woman will do good in Europe and fine in Japan, she isn't that well known in China. Regardless, I can see this movie hitting at least $300 to $450 mil in the US alone.

It won't be.
(Thankfully. Pirates 5 was great and 6 will bring back the original cast in full.)
Suicide Squad would last 30 seconds. They neutralized and/or killed the only members with any power in the first film. What happens in the other 140 minutes?
They team up against Darkseid.
I mean I think Katana's got as good a chance against Darkseid as anyone else. What with her sword and all.

Patty Jenkins is getting a 250m + budget for the next one. Let the queen take her time. Let her make what she wants to make.
She'd still solo the SS.
I hope they don't do that.
Before people start predicting $1B+ for a sequel, look at Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

Green Arrow could solo the movie version of the Squad.

Waller could dig up more powerful baddies to take on JL. Metallo, Cheetah, Killer Frost, Grundy, etc.
I'd feel bad for Captain Underpants if it's budget wasn't so small. $38 million dollars is mad cheap.
"We need a team that can take out a Superman level threat."
"Regular human with the guns, Regular human with the baseball bat, and Regular human with the boomerangs, you're all up!"
Considering that lame joke has been used like 30 times over the past few days, it's for the best.
To be fair, if you gave DCEU Deadshot a sniper rifle with a Kryptonite bullet, Supes would be dead pretty quickly.

$300 off of a 100 opener isn't impossible but it will have to have some good legs by Comic book standards.
400+ there is almost 0 chance that happens

What happened with Guardians 2?
Or do you mean the quality of the franchise will go down? Which, I agree, Guardians 2 was a let down.
She's done some TV work, but I think it has a lot more to do with Hollywood not giving women directors much to work with.
Nah, I want to see Matt Reeves' Batman and Wan's Aquaman.
He's just saying that some people expected it to hit $1b. Nothing about the quality.
(Which was fantastic!)
You can probably go ahead and say that $400M is impossible off of a $100-103M start.
The last time a major superhero opening managed a 4x Opening weekend multiplier off of a Friday start was Batman 1989.

Hey, Deadshot showed he had impeccable aim. And if the action wasn't so rubbish, him fending off the putty patrol could've been impressive. I was hard to tell.
