      I saw the first one on an airplane. Figured I could either stare at the back of the seat or finally watch it. I should have chosen the seat.

      Why are you assuming this is a flop? The first one is one of the highest grossing movies ever.

        Wonder Woman also did amazing numbers before WW84 made the lowest opener for DC

        Since the first movie, there’s no trust left in DC, the DCEU is already r making this movie a zombie, and WB hasn’t yet learnt from Ezra fiasco sheen they decided to persist with Amber.

        The only real question is if this will be buffet flop then The Flash or The Blue Beetle?

      It’s going to be fighting upstream for sure, audiences appear to be losing interest in yet-another-superhero movie. Jason Momoa has alot of star draw, so I’m not sure if that will even out. There actually hasn’t been much of a media campaign at all for this release, so thats not a great sign, it means the studio isn’t confident and is hedging its bets by not wasting money on media.

      The casting controversy probably will hurt it too, but maybe enough people will be interested in it that it works as advertising and drawing in more people.

      Overall I’d say the expectations are cautious right now
