The Real Reason Blue Beetle Bombed At The Box Office

DC had high hopes for Blue Beetle. So why did it suffer the same fate as Shazam! Fury of the Gods and bomb big time? Turns out that timing is everything. Robert: One of my turnoffs was the trailer, specifically, Batman is a fascist. Why would ANY new series even mention the only successful series of DCEU films? A character which really kickstarted the whole thing, one played by Christian Bale, Michael Keaton, and Ben Affleck? It might have been a throw-away line, but it seemed the the writers felt that by whopping the old timer that they were getting in with a new crowd. But much like Batwoman, those folks like to Tweet, but not actually watch anything. I did hear great things about the actors and storyline, but guys, do not intro someone by peaving out the people who would be most supportive of a new film.

Still shielding the studios from the real reason why these films are tanking. The DC films have been very inconsistent when it came to quality and having any connection with each other. There were a few standouts here and there, but the overall experience has been very mediocre at best.
Ever since James Gunn announced the DC reboot, it foretold the fans a lot of these movies do not matter. Now whether you love James Gunn's work or not, sure he has had success with Marvel, but he has yet to win over fans of DC with the flop of The Suicide Squad.
Ezra Miller was the main reason why The Flash movie failed. Online discussions to boycott the movie should have told the executives to pull the plug on the project, but they didn't listen.
With Aquaman 2 coming, the amount of hatred of Amber Heard over how she screwed over Johnny Depp is another telling sign that, it too will flop.
James Gunn has yet won fans over with his plan to oversee the DC cinematic universe. Most fans are upset with WB for how they disrespected and treated Henry Cavil.
Disney is still trying to win over the Star Wars and Marvel fans as the support continues to diminish. If you upset a large section of the demographic that normally supports your movies, the general audience is not enough to make these films successful on its own.

Meh. It doesn't appeal to me. Just seems to be another formulaic bargain bin comic book hero movie. What the leadership at DC Films/Studio don't understand is that most kids these days don't read comic books. Yet, for some reason, they seem to think it's a great idea to try to directly target this younger audience. It's the older generations who grew up reading comic books and know these characters and they then become the promoters of movies that the younger generation then pick up on the hype and then go out to watch it. It's not that complicated. I dread what they are going to do with Superman after they shafted Henry Cavill. What a huge ing mistake.

It's a good movie!
a classic superhero movie, contained, that does not pretend to be a commercial for other franchises. Enjoyable, funny, even moving and endearing. As a Latino I enjoyed the stereotypes because many of them are real, especially those referring to the family.
It has a lot of rhymes with other movies, but as a fan of the genre you enjoy it, and it's much more enjoyable than Thor 4 or The Flash.
It's a classic MCU Phase 1 movie.
If you enjoyed phase 1 of marvel, Ant-man 1, Shazam 1 and Spiderman homecoming, this movie is for you.

Well I never heard anyone ask for a Blue Beetle movie. but let me say I like the character the suit the look all great. But if you look at the forums or anywhere else online people have been asking for a Static Shock movie for 10 plus years! Hell I saw comments when Blue Beetles Trailer came about Static Shocks movie It s the same with Green Lantern John Stewart. time and time again WB totally ignores its fan base I mean got damn!

Meh. the real reason was a combination of WOKE fatigue and Beetleborgs. Well could be that the tone of both Shazam and Beatle seems a bit campy and we just never feel any real consequences or emotional attachment to the characters. DC seems a bit 2 dimensional.
All flash and spectacle no substance. Marvel draws you in and makes sure you CARE are invested in the characters before the big fake cgi boom booms.

Blue Beetle really didn t deserve to bomb! The good thing is, it topped the Barbie Movie at the box office and it received positive reviews and I really loved Blue Beetle. I really hope Xolo Mariduena, Bruna Marquezine, and the rest of the actors as the Reyes Family return in James Gunn s DCU

blue beetle was a good and fun movie whether youre latino or not, its just a simple superhero origin for this cool character and not some more multiverse bs, if this movies marketing was better and more people knew about it im sure the numbers would be higher in the box office.
reply

lol superhero fatigue is real. & also the storylines of DC movies don't really connect so we're less invested. The MCU is like the world's most expensive series with a couple of episodes every year. DC on the other hand is just like Hey remember us, we also make superhero stuff
reply

Maybe in money earned, it flopped but all I've heard is good things about Blue Beetle. I can't wait for the DCU to start so we leave this comparison btwn Marvel & DCEU behind. If Aquaman 2 flops, it still means that James Gunn can still save DC since that's not his movie.

Because Hollywood is over, it's dying. It had to happen at sometime. How I know. I stopped watching there shows. I just stopped. AI and the Internet change it now. You can make your own star I've seen the AI that's all knew level of stuff.

this is disingenuous when you dont mention the batman insult and the race based messaging. that hurt because from george lopez insulting batman i am out. not watching this or supporting this because that is a cardinal sin for me
reply

You know why DC comics blue beetle movie flop so many reasons: imitating Iron-man suit and blue beetle you know already copying Iron-man that's why cannot get the higher money success at the Box Office.
reply

one day warner execs will understand why every single project bombs at the box office. If you don't listen to your fanbase and give them what they want, you have to accept the consequences. it's simple.
reply

I like how people are complaining dat there is too much, or many super hero movies. But when it comes to anime, which there is a lot of and tons of u don't hear anyone complain at all smh
reply

If i want to see BB I'll just wait on streaming in a few weeks just like i saw Young Justice and DCAU shows. Plus the director told us it's not made for us so I believe what he said.
reply

it did not bomb at the box office it made about half of it budget so if it says on that path, it not going be a success please let movies make money before calling them bombs.
reply

WB is Kryptonite to DC. They repeatedly fail and keep destroying DC's IP. Forevery Dark Knight and The Batman, they have a slew of garbage like Snyder's Edge-Lord DCEU.
reply

Excuses, excuses. its just not a good movie. fun maybe but it wasnt even really about Blue Beetle as much as it was about his family and goerge lopez getting screen time.
reply

It sad superhero movies is dead and other than Spider-Man movies, superhero movies box office and tv show ratings are flopping while anime and manga are on the rise
