Birds of Prey Reactions

Because it wasted a good heroine team and never tried to put them as center of the stage.

Imagine a Justice League movie where all the members have to lower their presence for the Joker.

That's what sequels are for.

Wrong example, as Harley is a "hero" in this movie. In the last Justice League movie there were members who did lose out to popular characters like Batman and Wonder Woman, which was everyone else on the roster.

Why would we need a sequel? It's like saying Superman movie can setup Superman for the sequel instead of bringing him as the center of the stage.

Yeah the JL movie lost but at least it tried, BoP didn't even try. So we can make a JL movie that tone down all the other heroes then make the joker a hero and main character?

You mean the justice league movie there every other member could have gone home after Superman returned?

WB is changing the R rating certification in some countries. Not sure it will help. The movie has run its course.

We've been over this.

Why are you comparing Harley with Joker, it's not like she's the villain in the movie.

You need to learn to let go, the movie built the threads for a Birds centred movie to take flight, all we need is to wait until WB tries again.

Birds of Prey going PG for Japan release. Not shocking as it's pretty standard for Asian markets to get edited version of films due to rules and regulations that their countries have. This probably means that it'll get a China release as well but I don't expect more than 20 additional million to be added to the BO because of the coronavirus in those areas.

Coronavirus still has almost all theaters in China shut down. Don't expect any foreign movie to get released there until that's taken care of.

Yeah it'll be interesting on how long theaters will be shut down. Additionally, once theaters open we'll see 1 of 2 things. Either they'll be an influx of people going to the theater because of being stuck at home or they'll be extremely slow because of fear of the virus spreading still. Will be interesting which outcome we'll see.

Harley is not a major member of BoP, that's the point.

Yeah, BoP is now tainted. If they had treated them seriously, this was a chance to establish them well just like Wonder Woman. Now we have to wait for years.

Yes, and it's part of the reason it got criticized.

We do not have to wait years. The fact that it did well critically and will more than likely have a good following will probably get it a sequel. WB isn't going to abandon the potential of this franchise because of a small hiccup especially if DC films continue to do better. It will be a lesson learned in regards to the R rating as well as the marketing. Additionally, the real first BoP film will get a lower budget maybe equivalent to jw2 or joker and be pg 13 to shoulder less risk.

Wake up, this is a flop with the lowest DC box office since DCEU. It's not even getting good reviews outside of RT. No sequel for box office flop, even Superman got put on shelf.

Calm down. Step back and breath, by your standards then Captain America 1 and thor 1 shouldn't have been given sequels either because with the math they technically couldn't have broken even with their budgets. Studios look at a lot of things when greenlighting future projects and truthfully BoP hasn't done bad it just didn't live up to cbm expectations but at the end of the day its doing okay for an R rated film. Heck even Forbes and cbr admitted such recently. Like I said the sequel will get a lower budget and be pg13 to reduce risk. Additionally, you will most likely see the BoP from the comics you are wanting to see because it will be less risk associated with it and they will try to appeal more to fans to ensure costs are covered.

RT is an aggregate site, they try to take everyone and the barrier to be a RT critic is super low these days.

They can easily put a spinoff on HBO Max now if they want one.

Sigh, you need to wake up. There is no sequel, those 2 are not bombs especially the domestic box office was quite good and the Avengers was a huge success.
