This Perfectly Explains Why The DCEU is AWFUL and Why There's A Backlash

Yet, that sh*t crashing is somehow paying off with Suicide Squad making money despite being awful. Go figure.
SUICIDE SQUAD hasn't made money. The press reported its break-even point as $800 million, meaning its likely to leave theatrical release still in the red, just as did BvS.
And that break-even estimate is based in part on studio-released figures that are far lower than originally reported. Back in December, it was reported that SS's budget had already gone over $250 million and that was before the uber-expensive last-minute reshoots. Then, prior to the film's opening, the studio released a much lower budget figure. This is sometimes done by studios as a means of saving face when a film is expected to underperform; Sony did it with GHOSTBUSTERS just a few months ago. If SS actually cost a lot more than is being currently reported, that break-even point could be over $1 billion.
In either case, SS hasn't made money. If the studio had reigned in the movie and kept it closer to the originally projected $44 million budget, they'd have turned a tidy profit by now. Instead, they let it become an out-of-control money-pit, one that probably won't turn a profit until it hits home video.

The hate outnumbers the love because this film is inspiring true film fans to get very angry. There were NO character motivations that made any sense. No one had any chemistry AT ALL and there was no depth to the story.
This is just a really bad movie and THAT is why everyone hates this film and why the WB needs to get this message. -
