Although this is not a female superhero movie, I think Mulan is going to end up flopping due to rising anti-China sentiment because of COVID-19 and the box office in China will be lackluster since the majority will still be quarantined. That will be two female led movies back to back that will have cratered enabling the hordes of haters coming out.
They'll say nice things about Alita Battle Angel too. (So they could claim they weren't misogynists for disliking Captain Marvel.)
That was really the big marketing mistake that BoP did. If it had been named Harley Quinn: #MeToo it'd have been an open challenge against the Internet hate mob, but it would also have meant all their outrage would have turned into effective marketing for the movie.

I still think saying you'll laugh if they go ahead with the stated plan is weird...
I know we need to work about BoP's box office but I just can't imagine them not making GCS...unless they can't use Catwoman because of The Batman. A movie with Harley, Catwoman and Poison Ivy was always going to make more money than BoP no matter how much money BoP made. Just make it PG-13.
Something interesting that I haven't thought is that for the past 4 years, the largest WB blockbuster has been a DC films; BvS, WW, AM, and Joker. With WW2, were likely going to increase this streak to 5. This is what I mean when I say that the only reason people can't recognize the success of the DCEU because the MCU is just larger.

Well, BOP isn't a total flop. Should do around 200 million WW (still a disappointment). But it'll at least break even and make some profit due to merchandise.
