This is why Hollywood should stop doing sequel baiting

They're no longer worth it anymore

There are no more guarantees nowadays

CGI special effects have fallen in quality, they're definitely not paying to dollar for writers... so what are they spending hundreds of millions actually on?

Just lower the marketing budget. And pre plan the vfx with storyboard and have in person references, it will streamline the process

Bro you dont need to stop making superhero movies as a genre but you could try elevating them and not having to spend so much money on them it doesnt take astronomical amount of money to make a decent film (i mean movies are an expensive project) but they can be done for way less than 400 million just 100 million or even 50 million. I mean obsession had around 1 million and 2001 space odyssey was made with 10 million, the jungle book was made with 20 million, insidious was made with around 800,000k i mean come on guys.

$100 million dollars PROFIT for a company with a single film..., failing industry tho, time to sell WB again, scrap everything...

But wait, Superman 2025 was called a success, yet Man of Steel was considered as underperformed. Although Man of Steel grossed 670 mil and in today’s money it’s almost a billion.

Go figure.

Can you imagine making a 100 million and considering it a failure? It is almost a 17% return. And that is before physical and digital sales, not to mention merchandise and tie-in deals.

​@brettro8210 These are TRILLION DOLLARS COMPANIES. So no. 100 million in profits, when they had to spend 500 million, IS NOT a big deal. That's literally common sense.

Yes, it did suck. And so did the Snyderverse. I'm not a fan of James Gunn at all, but if Snyder got five years to screw up DC, Gunn should at least get until 2029 to do the same exact thing.

Superman 2025 sucked, though. It was the opposite of Man of Steel in everything except actual storytelling quality. It's like having one meal at a restaurant brought to you ice cold, and the second one burnt black.

Yeah there is no way Superman is anywhere close to being the most popular superhero
Batman and Spider-Man knocks him outta the park
Even back in the 40s he got outsold by captain marvel

Tie any flowing cloth (towel, bedsheet etc) to your back and ask any generation from boomer to gen whatever and ask who am I?. I'm sure they'll say captain marvel.

@kenzen-donowow that is actually the worst argument I’ve ever heard
So if I put horns on my head and the majority says I’m daredevil that means daredevil is the most popular superhero in the world???
I don’t even think school can help you

The whole point of making all these reboots, remakes and superhero movies is that you don't have to spend so much $$$ on marketing them because the title or the character already comes with a built-in audience just waiting for the next go round!!
