My afternoon showing may have cracked a dozen people. I have to echo the lack of buzz, I only knew this was out and reviewing well was because of this board.
So Angry Joe was disappointed with BOP, but IIRC, he loved Suicide Squad. Lmao!
Though others have elaborated in more detail earlier in the thread, the reason why it would be a factor is the result of the demographic for Harley typically skewing younger, leaving those prospective viewers unable to attend..
I don't think it's much if a factor. R rated superhero movies don't usually do this badly, I'm just thinking of Joker, Deadpool, Logan. Can't think of anything recent that has tanked.
Thats good to know. Nonetheless, just crazy how he didn't like BOP.He took back his score in a later video. He's said he's been working on not letting hype cloud his judgment since then

He's been getting increasingly suspect in his reviews for women led films, to the point of calling TLJ's Holdo a "Admiral Gender Studies" and saying her arc was "man hating".

I've already prepared for him going full asshole
Suicide Squad is fun even if the end is formulaic nonsense.So Angry Joe was disappointed with BOP, but IIRC, he loved Suicide Squad. Lmao!
This was my biggest issue. As much as I was looking forward to the films I still felt I needed a very straight forward and normal trailer. I never got it and I feel this film needed at least one.
I said this is the DCEU thread
The movie cost 85 mil to make, they probably only spent 50 mil on marketing. At worst, they did the "double the budget" thing and spent a total of 170. How can this not make at least 200 at he box office world wide when it's all said and done? Not to mention digital and dvd sales.
The title completely put me off the movie. The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn. It just seems so pretentious and immediately soured me on the film.
I'm sure whoever came up with it thought they were the smartest person ever when they came up with it.
Gunn gets what he wants at this point
Angry Joe is not a very good movie reviewer. He's way too raw with his opinions and doesn't take the time to self reflect on what he has just seen.So Angry Joe was disappointed with BOP, but IIRC, he loved Suicide Squad. Lmao!
Harley Quinn alone isnt enough to sell the movie, specially because of the bad taste left by Suicide Squad.
You add what was probably the less "agressive" marketing from all of the latest DC movies, and the lackluster trailers, that left everyone thinking: "oh great, another suicide squad" and you have a recipe for disaster.
nice kicks
It might had. But this does happen after Suicide Squad. They reference it multiple times.Suicide Squad stink hurt this. People probably thought this was a sequel to that.
Just look at the impressions on here and Twitter –Dang I can't recall the last thread for an underwhelming debut that ended up this long, interesting
People went to Suicide Squad. Didn't like it. Aren't showing up for another film in one of the three concurrent DC film continuities.Weird as shit that people showed up in droves for Suicide Squad, but not the follow up that was based around the only good part of that garbage movie (Harley). Wonder how SS2 does after this.
