    I think the main problem with blue beetle is that the bottom is (has?) falling out of the superhero’s films due to how oversaturated the market became with them. Even if it’s a decent film, people aren’t going to go out to watch a lower tier hero film anymore whereas back in the early days we’d watch anything superhero live action related.

      I would agree with you if the film wasn't actually good enough to have the character pop up again in the near future. DC and Warner has to stop this obsession with linking good characters/actors with box office failures. Sometimes it's not the actors, but the script and story that fails the audience.

      Recently rewatching Supernatural and watching Buffy for the first time, and I definitely agree. There's something about the more chill, laid back, 16-24 episode seasonal format that's just... nice and almost nostalgic now. It gives you a lot of time to really vibe with the characters and see a lot of different aspects to their personalities.

      But it didn't outgross it domestically and the worldwide total, which is vast is what counts. Spider Verse made almost 700 million worldwide. Elementals barely made it's budget back consider it's $200 million production budget and $150 million advertising budget. Also SpiderVerse cost HALF the price of Elementals which means that Sony turned out a healthy profit at the box office, where Disney just broke even on Elementals considering it's very high production budget and advertising. Plus don't forget that theaters take in half of a movie's profits to cover operating expenses.

    one might argue that the lack of marketing around blue beetle might have been a major contributing factor to its failure.

Honestly I kind of wish DC would just scrap their plans, take a five to ten years break from cinematic universe building and maybe start over. I love DC but it really feels like WB is just digging that franchises grave with the exception of Batman films.

    I really surprised by the international box office for Blue Beetle, I actually thought that it would actually be a bit over $30 million there. Now, it seems like this film will be lucky to cross $100 million worldwide before it runs out of steam!
    Also, those numbers for Nolan's films don't seem to be correct?! Oppenheimer might actually make more than Interstellar's total ($750ish million), but it's likely not going to pass Inception's grand total ($870ish million). There seems to be something inaccurate going on with that website (The Numbers) posting lower grosses for Nolan's films.

    I think the problem studios have with targeting Latino audiences comes from that fact that they assume the Latino people are just one big group. But in reality the Latino community is made of many countries, each with its own customs and traditions.
    So, a movie like Blue Beetle might attract Mexicans but that doesn’t mean it will necessarily attract Latino movie goers from other countries.

    I’d love to see Nolan do Bond. But I’m not sure how I’d approach it as a studio. I doubt Nolan would want to do more than a single film. Which means he’d essentially lock the next iteration of Bond into the Nolan design-ethos but then pass the reins onto different filmmakers. I think it’d make for a great one-off. But ultimately I think it’d set the next Bond up to fail long term.
    Though at the same time, I’m so down for Bond to start becoming one-off adventures again. I’m pretty sick of Hollywoods obsession with continuity as is. It worked for the Daniel Craig Bond. But I’d be fine with the next Bond giving us a series of unique adventures with their own tone and direction.

    I think, like Gunn said. He will keep Xolo as Blue Beetle for his DCU, but will probably ignore this film, similar to how the MCU are treating Daredevil. Then he’ll probably show up in a Titans movie or JL International, without getting another solo film.

      Blue Beetle
      Is connected to Peacemaker so I can see him appearing in season 2 of that show as a supporting character

    Blue Beetle needed more advertising for sure. It was your non spoiler video the thing that made me check if the movie was in my local cimena or not. I'm from southamerica so I wasn't sure and it was shocking to see that it was already out with any kind of advertisement on tv.... even Megalodon had ads everywhere!! I mean wth! So I told my brother and his girlfriend and of course they were also shock to see this movie release so unceremoniously. We went cero expectations and we love it. The room was probably 70% of it's capacity and everybody was LOL most of the time. Americans probably get from 50% to 60% of the stuff in there and that's a problem because people in south america doesn't go multiple times to a movie and in the end is that what makes money.

    I'm sorry 'Blue Beetle' didn't open well. My peeps haven't had a screen 'hero' since Zorro! ☹️
