You forgot the 200m marketing budget and 2 year long marketing campaign. Also copyingg uardians of the Galaxy and Deadpool.

Throwing money around is not genius. Deadpool had genius marketing, because it was viral marketing that cost virtually nothing. Spending 200m on marketing is not genius.

I think maybe BvS spend about 250m. Suicide Squad was only 200m. And MoS less.

I don't agree with people who say MOS failed because it did not make a billion. Here is why:
1.) It was only the second Superman film in more than 25 years.
2.) It was following Superman Returns (2006), which while not anywhere near a hated movie, did not generate much excitement.
3.) It was about a character who many thought "outdated" and "boring."
4.) It was competing with "Monsters University" and "World War Z" in its second weekend,
5.) It was a reboot and the starting point of an extended universe, which would be competing against the already very popular Marvel universe.
Even though I thought SS sucked, saying it failed financially is ridiculous. -

Yeah. And the rest of the weekends, it fell behind
The Heat (2013)
and never recovered.

Shouldn’t this have been on the Suicide Squad board?
Edit: Nevermind, it is, but then what’s the purpose of it on here??
