if it does from the first
monday
it's down to the film itself.
Why did you say that
daaaaaay
?
It also turns out, as a belated congrats, that Allblacks was spot on about Suicide Squad's performance. I suspect if BvS hadn't been such a deadening experience, people wouldn't have contorted themselves into shapes to try and be charitable to Suicide Squad in comparison, despite, arguably, being as bad, if not worse.

Edit: finally got around to watch the movie and **** me hold tight is it a glorious mess!
The cast is good, there are some nice ideas - visually. But tone, editing, characters having, well, - characters - everything save for purely technical credits (not CGI though. CGI sometimes screamed "reshoots") is off. Quite amazing really. I only got to see "directors cut" of BvS and it was only marginally better than this (not having to juggle an ensemble and having the luxury to introduce new Batman/Wayne as "ah, fck it - here's new Batman/Wayne. You know the dude). Can only wonder wtf happened it theatrical release of BvS -

If you were judging on sheer can't-even-be-bothered-to-pretend-to-come-up-with-anything-new in the belated sequels stakes, Jason Bourne would be a clear winner. Even the marketing was directly copied from Goldeneye. It's the Cannonball Run 2 of the franchise - just a trip to the bank for all concerned.

Would say non existent, at least that an extremely cheap marketing, none
I imagine they will do some burst when the trailer's will start to roll out, I would guess around Magnificent 7 release and Pratt world press tour for it. -

What the F were they thinking?
Sell it as a mix of fast and furious and guardian of the galaxy ? If that is the case, and you want do attract a broader audience than the geek image of the series will tend to do (or take those fans for granted) you want to distance yourself from the franchise legacy, not talk about it and associate yourself too much with it and a 50th year anniversary.
Not a bad bet to do necessarily, but when you half commit it is hard to achieve something. -

And 'Mad Max'. Marketing pitch: 'Cause those movies were rad, yo'.

Yup. It was a neither here nor there approach. The marketing made it seem dumb and non-appealing for casual audiences and by distancing itself from the Trek fanbase, it didn't rally its home crowd as well.
