“The Flash” Is Projected To Be A Box Office Bomb After Opening With $55 Million
Warner Bros. threw a Hail Mary by deciding not to shelve their long-stalled film The Flash, as its lead, Ezra Miller, collected a cornucopia of allegations which includes but is not limited to assault, harassment, and child grooming- and now, after the superhero flick was finally released in theaters in North America on June 16 and internationally on June 14, the verdict is in! We’re looking at a big, fat box office flop! With a measly debut of $55 million- may this put to rest the idea that audiences are impartial to watching abusive dipsticks?? I’m lookin at you, Kevin Spacey!
Ezra Miller Made An Appearance At “The Flash” Premiere
Monday night Warner Bros. took a step toward closing the chapter on the production hellhole that was The Flash after holding a premiere at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood for their long overdue superhero flick they’re counting on to save their assess after a brutal year of shelving projects and box office bombs. And what better way to ensure the success of this film than by having alleged harasser, assaulter, burglar, and child groomer Ezra Miller make an appearance to remind us all that you can be above the law as long as you have Warner Bros. banking on you?
“The Suicide Squad” Is Considered A Box-Office Flop Despite Opening At #1
The Suicide Squad is the sequel to 2016’s critical-flop but commercially successful, Suicide Squad. See, they added the “The” at the beginning so as not to cause confusion. But I guess that people were still confused and they thought that DC Comics released the same shitty movie in theatres again and didn’t go–because The Suicide Squad is being called a box-office flop, with a measly $72 million global premiere on a budget of $185 million. Oh well, at least when it comes to flops Idris Elba has taken harder hits before. Remember, he was in Cats!
James Gunn Loves Martin Scorsese, But Thinks He Trashes Marvel Movies To Get Press
If Martin Scorsese made a list of things he loves, it might include: making movies, a film soundtrack with at least two songs by The Rolling Stones, the word “fuck,” Robert De Niro, mob culture, a good eyebrow grooming kit, and talking shit about Marvel movies. James Gunn, Scorsese fan and superhero franchise director, would kindly like him to knock it off with the last one.
Lots Of “Avengers” Rushed To Defend Chris Pratt’s Honor Against The Implication That He’s The Worst Chris
For several years, Chris Pratt has been included in what I’ll call the Four Chris Men of the Hunkpocalypse. Four hunky Chrises (Evans, Hemsworth, Pine, and Pratt) that all appear in superhero films and, let’s be honest, are kind of interchangeable. Except there was one Chris that the internet decided didn’t really fit in with the rest of the Chrises, and that was Chris Pratt. This was officially decided on Twitter over the weekend, after a “One’s Gotta Go” meme format featuring the Four Chrises went a little viral. What started as a light-hearted internet joke has turned into a full-blown, “Avengers, ASSEMBLE” situation. Tons of famous types have swooped in to rescue Chris Pratt from his online haters by swearing he’s a super-good guy worthy of the Four Chrises Club.
Marvel Movies Aren’t Cinema, According To Martin Scorcese
In an interview with Empire (via The Guardian), venerable director Martin Scorcese decried Marvel movies as not being “cinema.” Scorcese has the résumé to be snotty about movies but he obviously missed the deep symbolism in movies like Ant-Man. Past and present Marvel directors like Joss Whedon and James Gunn were unhappy with Marty’s pissing on their work. Impeachment inquiry what?
