Well I would be lying to say I wouldn't laugh if Disney did this with Episode 8 and the WB changed the date again.
But yeah, it would be stupid to move it like that, while some competition is fine, doing that would be bad business.

If Disney moved dates then Justice League would just move to counter it. We saw how DC bowed out when it realised that BvS was going to have the same release date as Civil War. I do think that Justice League will have great marketing behind it, as marketing is something that WB is really good at, sadly they are much better at marketing than they are at producing a constant stream of good movies.

Lies. He said that they will have more lightness and could be improved. He didn't say anywhere that they were awful. Most audiences liked BVS. The DCEU is doing just fine in terms of financial and audience success. Stop spreading lies.

You're retarded. Most audiences were gravely disappointed with BvS.
Why the fk do you think it had a 69% drop off follow up weekend with NO competition? Lol
It had historic box office drop offs and hardly anyone I know really liked it. Who woulda thought that Deadpool would beat it domestically? -

I find it interesting that when BvS did really big numbers WW its opening weekend, some people would say, "But hey, it's opening all around the world at the same time, so that doesn't count." But then when it has a bigger drop off the following weekend, some people conveniently ignore the same effect, that the release wasn't staggered, and therefore it would make sense that it would have a larger drop off.

It had the freakshow appeal of Batman and Superman and Wonder Woman all on-screen for the first time in history. It was always gonna do well opening weekend.
If you can't defend a movie without bashing another, you will be put on ignore. No exceptions. -

Lets not forget months of advance sales.

He was speaking to current and potential investors so it's likely he was using euphemisms to describe how he really thought. Afterall, he doesn't want to discourage them into leaving. Im glad he's being self aware of the criticism that massive amount of people have had towards the DCEU. This whole marvel vs dc feud makes fanboys on both sides blind.

And apparently the DCEU is losing a ton of money as well.
