Supergirl back on Track to BOMB on Opening Weekend

[00:00:00]Supergirl was going up, up, up, and now it's going down, down, down because uh the first reactions and well, a significant slow down of early ticket sales are pointing at a much less impressive opening weekend.

[00:00:15]>> [music] >> The projections for Supergirl have gone down. Just recently, we talked about the fact that they seem to be going up.

[00:00:27]Well, they're down again. Now, again, depending on different analysts and different analytics and what they're looking at, some will tell you they're still pretty high, but all around, if we just look at the majority, they're saying that things are looking pretty bleak for the opening weekend. Now, how bleak exactly? Well, that's the interesting part here. Again, some are still saying 85 million to 100, which I don't think that's possible. I'mma be real with you. I'm excited to see this film, got my tickets, can't wait, but I don't think that's happening. Um there's still, if you look at theaters, a lot of seats that are not sold. It's not guaranteeing a good outlook on the opening weekend. Now, it's probably not going to be as bad as Masters of the Universe, I don't assume.

[00:01:13]Crazier things have happened though, so who knows, but right now, we are looking at 50 to 60 million. Again, this is down from when just about a week ago, most were like, "Oh, yeah, 77, 80 to 100 looks likely." It doesn't look so likely. Now, it's going to be interesting to see if they do anything to combat this, maybe up the marketing, maybe throw more Superman in there or something. I don't really know what they could do realistically. Uh it's the fact that this film, just across the board from when I look at general reactions and what's going on and you can look at them for yourself.

[00:01:51]And again, remove the echo chambers out of it. Remove the gun fanatics and the DCEU fanatics, remove the Snyder fanatics, and just look at the general crowd that sees movie after movie that they're interested in, there's little to no interest in this from them, you know?

[00:02:09]Like, it is not hitting the way it should be, which is the exact crowd it should be hitting for. So, there's something missing here that the general population and audiences are not vibing with. And I don't know what it is. Maybe it's super fatigue. It could be it's like you just got Superman last year.

[00:02:28]Why do we need Supergirl right the gate after a Superman film? It's kind of redundant. It'd be like releasing a Batman film followed by a Batgirl film right after within a year, you know? Or doing a Captain America film and then doing a Captain Carter film. Like, what's the logic, you know? Like, I think it's a tough sell. I think they made a mistake with this one. Maybe waiting a year and putting something else in between would have helped, like a buffer project, but hey, we're almost here, so we're going to know the box office soon enough.
