Do you think there's a sexist view against female led movies?
Vote
This after Joker became the biggest DC film to gross over 1 billion as many were expecting this movie to do the same as DC films are finally hitting its stride. Cinemascore gave the film a B+ as the exit scores are the same for Joker and Suicide Squad... This was well under the 50-55M tracking as many had hoped although WB hoped for a 45M weekend. It was never meant to be a big pic like the predecessors but the hope was that it will be a franchise starter for Harley Quinn and this follows a slew of other failed female centric movies at the box office such as Rhythm Section, Charlie's Angels, Alita; Battle Angel and Atomic Blonde) Only female led movies such as Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel found success though they already had an established property The movie will now have to rely on oversea totals or good legs to earn a decent profit on it's 100M+ production Do you think there's a sexist view on female led movies nowadays? https://i.imgur.com/yRLcEU2.jpg https://i.imgur.com/lyN6MdC.jpg --- The News Will Continue...For Now call me mrduckbear, sweater monkeys.

Female-led movies have never been controversial when the casting makes sense (ex. Romantic comedies, dramas, etc.). This recent trend of casting women in action roles hasnt gone over too well because female-led action films is just not a genre that has a lot of demand.
The type of guys that watch action films typically arent the type who are going to appreciate heavy feminist propaganda, and most women would more often than not rather watch other genres, so there isnt really an audience for these things. In the same way, do you think romantic comedies would suddenly catch on with guys if they started focusing more on the male characters than the females? Of course they wouldnt. It wouldnt draw the men in who have usually avoided that genre, and it would probably alienate the women who otherwise enjoy them. --- Xbox Live: Reborn Raisin ... Copied to Clipboard!

dc can't catch a break smh i mean... joker did REALLY well on a super low budget edit: coming back to think about it, maybe that is more what DC should be doing. stop trying to make these huge budget blockbusters to compete with marvel. it hasnt worked, and its not going to work. do something more gritty and realistic and people might be open to it. i know i personally am pretty tired of the over saturation of CGI in modern action movies. --- I am your shepherd cloaked in obscenity.

On rotten tomatoes over 80% of critics and fans said they liked it. Everybody is allowed to have their opinion but in general both critics and fans seem happy.

i mean... joker did REALLY well on a super low budgetthat is exactly what they should do. of all the dc movies, there's only four that's been widely praised, and that's the nolan batman trilogy, and joker. and all three are considered "dark and gritty". every other movie they did was trying to emulate marvel too much, and it just keeps failing for them --- Chrono Trigger is coming. ...

I plan on seeing it eventually though regardless of how good it is, but I am in the minority opinion that most of DCs IPs are much better in their animated universe than the big screen. --- Qc_Stryder 5/21/2015 6:58:09 AM posted...

The studio projected 45 million, got 33 million instead, plus another 48 million internationally. Not really a bomb, it just under performed a bit, but ya know duckbear, has to turn everything into a sexist or racist issue.
