The Bigger Box Office Bomb: Justice League or Solo?
Still too early to tell (which is why I allowed fir re-votes in the poll). But the topic is still fun nonetheless, so which one is the bigger bomb?

Re: The Bigger Box Office Bomb: Justice League or Solo?
Solo took a much bigger drop from Rogue One than Justice league from BvS, so I’m gonna go with that one.

Re: The Bigger Box Office Bomb: Justice League or Solo?
Good question. I'll also go with Solo even though in terms of universe killers JL is a bigger mess of the two.

Definitely Solo. Cost more, and will gross significantly less.

Re: The Bigger Box Office Bomb: Justice League or Solo?
Didn't JL cost almost the same? Plus I think it's P&A might be bigger than Solo. Then again JL made $400m+ OS which Solo won't even come close.

Definitely Solo. JL might have had a similar budget, but at least it got some traction OS.

Justice League, It still should have been a fresh franchise and equaled within stinking distance of the at least A:AOU. Everyone was predicting doom for Solo, and get ready SW fans Episode 9 is going to disappoint as well.

Re: The Bigger Box Office Bomb: Justice League or Solo?
I thought we were talking about BO and expectations wise. JL is the clear winner franchise-wise and that would hardly be a question.

Re: The Bigger Box Office Bomb: Justice League or Solo?
Certainly JL - it should have been the crown jewel of the DC universe - nobody expected SOLO to be the crown jewel of the Star Wars universe...

Re: The Bigger Box Office Bomb: Justice League or Solo?
anyone that says Justice League is being biased.
Justice League still at least doubled its budget. It was a money loser but it still had countries where it did well
Solo is apparently heading for sub 200m overseas. 400m worldwide might be a struggle. All this on a massive 300m budget. Solo isn't just a money loser it's going to be one of the biggest bombs of recent years

Re: The Bigger Box Office Bomb: Justice League or Solo?
Solo is bigger disappointment since everyone saw JL fail coming, but a Justice League movie making that little is more embarrasing

Winner is whichever one has the bigger budget. Tag Solo, you’re it!

Re: The Bigger Box Office Bomb: Justice League or Solo?
The only thing that matters is worldwide box office, and Solo takes this by a country mile. It will be a total embarrassment and has broken the force field surrounding the Star Wars brand as infallible, which will have bigger repercussions later on.

Re: The Bigger Box Office Bomb: Justice League or Solo?
Ok. Is that what it means? I thought it was simply referred to marketing budget. I'll use marketing budget instead from here on.
Edit : Just googled and found that it also means publicity and advertising so I'll just continue using this term.

This isn't even arguable from a box office perspective. From a consequences for the franchise perspective, that's a different question.

Re: The Bigger Box Office Bomb: Justice League or Solo?
Nah I don't want to use that term in particular. I saw it on Deadline and somehow caught it but since its confusing I can go ahead and use ROW marketing instead.

JL
Because I think it counts more that, that was supposed to be a tent pole whereas Solo is just a side film.

Star Wars side film released at the end of May, that cost $300m. But a side film. Sure.

While I agree on this to certain extent but look at the decrease from original in terms of BO. Solo will drop from $532m of RO (and that's the lowest of the recent SW movies) to $230m well below half of that movie (might be even lesser than that if its as frontloaded as regular SW movie). JL was dropping off from BvS i.e. $330m to $230m.
