Looking like 4 million tonight. That's a very bad start to the weekend.

I saw it last night and it was great. They really took on toxic masculinity head on and stomped on the throat of misogynists. This is an important movie in the me too era and is very empowering to the feminist movement. I plan to go see it a couple more times and highly recommend you go and support it as well.

Grace Randolph being mad that it doesn’t cater to Alphabet people or go SJW mode makes me very eager to see this movie. Her pouting is a ringing endorsement for the movie.


They’ve started saying this kind of stuff as a ruse to get your type of moviegoer into the theater. I’m sure it still has plenty of SJW

I just saw Jeremy Jahn's review of it and he confirmed my worst fears: it's basically a movie that shits on men for two hours.

I didn't get this at all. In fact, I can't think of a single instance of "male bashing" in the film. Except for the literal kind.

#BirdsOfPrey debuted on THU night with $4M from pre-shows, a good #boxoffice start for an R-rated film in FEB. Scores on Rotten Tomatoes are very high at 85% with critics and 88% with audiences so WB expects many fans to keep coming out thru the wknd.


I disagree that it's a 'good' box office. That's actually a pretty bad start.

I love this interview with Ewan McGregor where explains it clearly. This movie and its female cast really destroy misogyny in such a strong and powerful way. This was a 4 star movie.

Ewan McGregor Misogyny

quote:

It's "peppered with that sort of everyday misogyny that women have to put up with" from men, he noted. "It's a good message to put out there to remind guys that those days are over."

Only 4 million on Thursday is terrible. Going to be at best 40 million for the weekend. Give it a 3x multiplier for decent reviews and we are only at 120.

It is opening pretty low all over and with no business in China right now. This might struggle to break even. 85 budget + 120 million marketing guess

Just saw the updates at low 30s. This movie won't do 100 domestic... That has to sting for WB.

Hopefully this is simply a phase that will pass like 3-D in the early-2010s. This SJW crap needs to end and I'm happy to see it doing so poorly.

I get it. Margot Robbie is hot. I hope you're still enjoying yourself in the bathroom or wherever it is you do it.

But some of us don't like agenda-driven films that preach to men that they are evil.

Amen, also there is not a single evil woman out there all of the bad guys are men. Also unrealistically, all of the police precient, the SAME precient under Gordon , all the men who work with Batman, tolerate dog piling on the lone WOMAN detective? Come on bruah.... Thats not an agenda right there?
