[h=1]Suicide Squad Breaks August Record For Fandango Pre-Sales[/h]



The latest installment of the DC Extended Universe, David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, is right around the corner, as its theatrical release is set for this Friday, August 5. Thanks to a great marketing campaign, it has generated a substantial amount of hype, turning its relatively niche roster of characters into world famous superstars over the past few months. As a result, Suicide Squad is expected to be a rare breakout hit at the box office this summer, with some estimates going as high as $140 million just for the opening weekend.
It will be interesting to see how those projections are impacted, given that the first wave of Suicide Squad reviews are mostly negative. However, the early response is unlikely to cause any drastic shifts in the commercial prospects – at least for the first three days. Well before the review embargo lifted, many moviegoers had already determined they were going to make the trip to the theater. And if the pre-sales figures are anything to go by, Suicide Squad is going to go down as one of the all-timers.


According to The Wrap, the DCEU’s tale of the Worst. Heroes. Ever. has set a new mark for most August pre-sales on Fandango, besting Guardians of the Galaxy and Straight Outta Compton from the past couple of years. It’s the latest instance in 2016 of a mega blockbuster breaking Fandango records; both Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Captain America: Civil War reached new heights for the superhero genre as a whole in the buildup to their premieres.



This development will soften the blow of the negative reviews somewhat, since it illustrates that Suicide Squad is going to be financially successful. The larger question that now looms is how strong its legs will be once the buzz dies down, but the film is positioned in a way where it could have a lucrative run. We’re now at the tail end of the summer movie season, and Suicide Squad won’t have much in the way of direct competition (save for family film Pete’s Dragon, which is targeting a different demographic). Even if it sees a substantial drop in the 60 percent range during its second weekend, Suicide Squad will be the only tentpole in town for a while – now that Star Trek Beyond and Jason Bourne have opened.
Suicide Squad should also have no issues turning a profit, which was a bit of a problem for Batman V Superman. Warner Bros. gave Ayer a production budget of $175 million, and when international numbers are factored in, the villain team-up could make back that sum of money in a single weekend. It currently does not have a release date in China, the second-largest film market in the world, but interest is so high, that won’t have any noticeable affect. One only has to look at Deadpool, which shattered records despite being banned in the country.
It is unfortunate for moviegoers that Suicide Squad doesn’t look like it will be the film to reverse the DCEU’s fortunes from a critical perspective, but at the very least, they will make a substantial amount of money. In addition, there will more than likely be certain elements that receive high amounts of praise – similar to Batman and Wonder Woman in Dawn of Justice. Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn is seen as a highlight, so maybe the studio will be encouraged to push forward on a spinoff movie placing the fan-favorite in the center. Time will tell, but summer 2016 is going out with a bang.


Suicide Squad
is scheduled to arrive in theaters on August 5, 2016, followed by Wonder Woman on June 2, 2017; Justice League on November 17, 2017; Aquaman on July 27, 2018; an untitled DC Film on October 5, 2018; Shazam on April 5, 2019; Justice League 2 on June 14, 2019; an untitled DC film on November 1, 2019; Cyborg on April 3, 2020; and Green Lantern Corps on July 24, 2020. The Flash and Batman solo movie are currently without release dates.

[h=1]Suicide Squad Director Responds to Negative Early Reviews[/h]

You know the old saying, that the first person through the glass is the one who gets bloodied? Well, that theory may be in practice with the coming release of Suicide Squad, the film (perhaps unfairly) saddled with not only changing up the formula of the modern comic book blockbuster, but changing the conversation surrounding the DC Extended Universe as a whole. While Batman V Superman divided critics (and to a lesser extent, fans), David Ayer’s tale of ‘bad vs. evil’ was hoped to set things right.
So far, the early reviews have skewed to the negative side of the scale, with even positive reviews highlighting some aspects of the film that didn’t add up in the way the studio or director may have hoped. At this point, it’s no surprise given the critical response to the shared universe’s first films, but with some reviews proclaiming Suicide Squad to be a complete failure of storytelling, the director of the film has offered his first response.


Well, less of a response, and more of a philosophical statement in response to the already amplified-by-fans-and-trolls sentiments. They run a wide variety, too, with some claiming that Suicide Squad may be darker than the film’s energetic trailers may have implied (not surprising, given Ayer’s past films), while others feel that Jared Leto’s Joker is more strange and unimportant than groundbreaking. Without naming names, and with his maintained dedication to ‘doing right by the fans’ coloring nearly all of his statements on his hopes for the movie, Ayer offered the following not long after review embargoes broke:
Prefiero morir de pie que vivir de rodillas - Emiliano Zapata
— David Ayer (@DavidAyerMovies) August 2, 2016
For those who may not know, the above line is a rather famous quote attributed to Mexican revolutionary Emiliana Zappata, meaning “I’d prefer to die standing, than to live on my knees.” The context is clearly different here, but the sentiment being driven at by Ayer is obvious: it’s better to risk it all and be slaughtered than to play by the rules set by others.
While the line applies to his central cast of so-called ‘villains’ setting out to ask the question of whether anyone is defined by their worst decision, moment, or action, it’s clearly an early reaction from Ayer to the harsh words, or total dismissal of his attempt to break the boundaries of the modern comic book movie. In other words, be willing to take a stand in a genre that he has publicly described as stagnant or in need of something new and different, and do so knowing that fighting against the current will rub many the wrong way.





Obviously, these words won’t do much to change the opinions of those who feel the film missed the mark it set out for, not the ways in which it differs from other comic book movie fare. But that’s a conversation that will have to wait until fans, skeptics, and casual moviegoers are able to see the film and decide its failures or successes for themselves. But one thing is for sure: the cry for different comic movies coming from fans, if not critics or broad audiences, has been heard by some. Ayer made the decision to do right by fans – not critics – one of his key talking points when asked about the Squad, and some fan-focused movie sites have clearly responded to his adaptation.
It may be too soon for the conversation to shift to the subject of whether it’s worth missing the mark, if the bullseye aimed for is hoping to open up new possibilities for the genre as a whole. Or, at the very least, to simply ‘be different.’ Again, that won’t brush aside decisions made by Ayer that are worthy of criticism, but with the rampant enthusiasm and pride shown by the cast, to reports that Ayer was given “total control” by Warner Bros., his claim of being allowed to decide his own fate rings true. And with movies coming from multiple studios seeking to try something new in the comic genre, being the first to take the full brunt of the impact might be worth some respect, if nothing else.
What’s your take? Do you admire a director standing behind his vision – and being given the freedom to do so… or be forced to by the studio? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

I don't think this guy has any right to say this now, with all the re-shoots to make the movie more "fun". You can't quote a famous saying about standing your ground when you do literally the opposite thing. You laid down on your belly the moment you saw trouble when people complained about BvS being humorless. lol don't talk about standing your ground after that, that's such a Abuses will lead to ban move.

dont care what critics say
You would if the reviews were positive.

To be fair, it was confirmed that the 're-shoots' didn't add humor. They only added action, there was already enough humor in it.


Anyway, I'm surprised over this. BVS was disappointing, I thought this would be well received, since it's a 'fun' movie.Gonna watch it and see for myself. Then again i mostly enjoy movies, which aren't received by critics anyway.

I'm a big DC fan, but we have to agree that these new dc movies have problems. I just watched BvS again and it had a lot of problems I didn't see before in the cinema (probably because of the hype). This Marvel Vs DC thing doesn't make sense because DC movies existed before too. The dark knight trilogy was received by critics better than any Marvel movie at that time. Not all critics are biased, it's just that these new movies are made badly.

[h=1]Fans Petition to Shut Down Rotten Tomatoes Over DC Movie Reviews[/h]



For much of the past year, there’s been a bit of a groundswell among a small but vocal contingent of movie fans, who are angry at film critics for their perceived bias in favor of Marvel Studios’ movies over Warner Bros/DC’s. This has even manifested itself in a conspiracy theory, that movie critics are in fact being bribed by Marvel parent company Disney in order to praise Marvel films and trash DC ones.
If fans thought this groundswell would be disrupted by the release of the latest DC Extended Universe film, Suicide Squad, that appears to not be the case, considering early reviews of the film have been mostly negative. Now, certain DC fans have focused on a new target amidst the online movie culture: The website that aggregates critics’ reviews.
A petition was launched Tuesday on Change.org, just a few hours after the Suicide Squad embargo lifted, calling to “Shutdown Rotten Tomatoes.” Introduced by Abdullah Goldwater of Alexandria, Egypt, the petition states Rotten Tomatoes’ aggregation of “unjust bad reviews” for Suicide Squad and Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice have negatively impacted “people’s opinion” of these films.





The petition, as of this writing, has garnered 1,534 signatures of its current goal of 2,500 (this goal has been increased from 500 to 1,000 to 1,500 prior to the 2,500 goal). Should the petition reach its goal, it will be delivered to Rotten Tomatoes itself, which would be asked to voluntarily shut itself down. As of the first 56 reviews, Suicide Squad has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 34 percent, firmly placing it in the Rotten category.
Now, the creator of this petition is free to hold whatever views he wishes about Suicide Squad, about the relative strength of the DC and Marvel universes, and the merits of film critics. And this is true whether or not the author of the petition or any of its 1,534 signatories have yet seen the very film that they’re defending, which doesn’t arrive in theaters until Friday.
However, this petition, as well as the general idea among fans that film critics are conspiring against their favorite movies is based on a whole host of assumptions that are false: That film critics aren’t supposed to be biased; that any significant number of critics have especially strong leanings towards Marvel or DC in particular; that any movie studio would waste its money on bribes for critics; that Batman V Superman didn’t deserve its negative reviews; that critics have the power to hurt the box office performance of blockbuster movies. Additionally, though fans frustrated with the reviews of Suicide Squad and Batman V Superman may believe the shut down Rotten Tomatoes will help, it would simply eliminate the review aggregator, not the reviews themselves.
Suicide Squad is scheduled to arrive in theaters on August 5, 2016, followed by Wonder Woman on June 2, 2017; Justice League on November 17, 2017; Aquaman on July 27, 2018; an untitled DC Film on October 5, 2018; Shazam on April 5, 2019; Justice League 2 on June 14, 2019; an untitled DC film on November 1, 2019; Cyborg on April 3, 2020; and Green Lantern Corps on July 24, 2020. The Flash and Batman solo movie are currently without release dates.

Some parts were cut from the movie. Footage which were in the test screening, were removed from the movie.

Spoiler: show
Opening scene changed. Instead of June Moon in the cave finding and turning into the Enchantress it changed into the Deadshot scene that you saw in the clips (you still get the Enchantress origin scene but it happens after that).
Added two scenes between Deadshot and Flag as well as a scene where Deadshot fight the Enchantress.
The scene where Joker fight the Squad over Harley was cut. As well as him in the subway talking to them.
Took down most of the scenes where he abused Harley. Changed a scene where he pushs her from an helicopter after fighting him to her jumping herself.
Took down the scene where Boomerang comes back to help the Squad after leaving them.
Took down a little story arc between Boomerang and Harley (you see a glimpse of it in the comic con trailer).
Added the Flash cameo.
There were other changes but I want to get everything first to put on a full list.



What the fuck warner bros? Are they going to give an extended cut version of Suicide Squad now? This is a cheap and lame tactic on WB's part, and they removed all the awesome scenes. They even removed the part where Joker throws a grenade.

Also cut the part where
Spoiler: show
Harley was riding a motorbike on the set images leaked

The actual problem with dc is simple... the movies are too jam packed. They needed to make individual movies for characters 6 years ago. They were too much into the dark knight series. Marvel was pretty bad in the beginining as well with only a handful of decent movies but they picked up pace with the critics as well as at the box office as people started to accept them. Man of steel was a great movie and they should have made individual movies for all the other justice league members by now and people would have started to accept them as well(critics i mean). It takes time and effort to make every one like your tone and style. Maybe the dark style is not everyone's cup of tea but if they had more movies out there then people would have accepted them by now. Disney is a hollywood powerhouse and they are not easily bashed. Their movies are safe and work on a simple formula and they took their time to set it up. DC needs to take time as well and stop forcing their bigger universe down everyone's throat. I don't care if this movie is praised by the critics or not as it does not matter what they think... though their rants do hurt box office and this movie will make okay money, which is all that matters in the first place.

Exactly , by the time avengers came most of the characters had their individual movies no matter how good or bad they were , it created a build up , WB is poor in buildup , since post nolan the only solo movie out was man of steel before going to BVS they should have solo batman followed by wonderwoman etc then go for justice league , the whole BVS was kinda lame thing to do shuld have been done after Batman solo movie , warner chooses wrong way of introducing characters .

Marvel also has edge on tv stuff , their tv stuff is connected to their movies stuff running parallel so even if they decide to bring their Dark TV stuff to light side and making movie out of it they might use same actors , The flash movie isnt out yet still people only complain is Grant gustin shuld have been the flash in the movies also

Ive heard it doesnt have as much Joker as it was advertised. I really am not interested to watch all those other boring characters for the whole movie for a glimpse of Joker or Batman.

Marvel has played the long game and created the audience. Most people who watch marvel movies aren't even comic book fans and only got into it after the movies. DC had a great start with the dark knight series... they should have introduced superman in that universe as introducing a new universe gave them all these problems. I think the failure of the first green lantern maybe the issue for them which stopped them. They need to make simple movies, with less of a story and build characters and of course show balls to the walls jaw dropping action. Marvel didn't have anything till the russo brothers, in terms of quality but now they set to get better and better, DC is left behind trying to rush things up playing catch up. They shouldn't have been too quick to build a justice league movie. They needed 4-5 movies before that. They had only one movie and they literally tried to turn bvs into a mini justice league. Though i don't hate any movie they made, i do see the immense flaws in them and can understand people hating on them. I am just happy that they are making the movies, as i am hoping they will get better. Man of steel holds up really well after multiple viewings while bvs doesn't as much... it indeed is too cramped. The advantage of marvel is that it is disney owned, who know the formula to making money. WB is hit and miss in that aspect.
The netflix marvel series are great.. they are well made on a small budget(jessica simpson must be made on peanuts). Agents of shield is also pretty good now even though it wasn't before. DC is not really looking after its series that much, other than the flash. Arrow is a borefest... supergirl is too cheesy, martian manhunter and upcoming superman is a plus though... gotham isn't bad though... legends of tomorrow is hit and miss but fun... flash is the only one that excites me. I am a comic book fan though i have grown up with dc characters... i like marvel as well now.

So it seems like the DC tv universe has been more successful than the DCEU. Still some fanboys bash the flash tv show etc for being cheap. Awkward moment for them.
