Budget of 200+ million, not accounting for advertising, probably 400+million at the end of it, and it might barely make that, which is considered a massive failure on the part of the movie industry.
It was explained to me the goal is 1.5 to 2x the production and ad budget, though that person could have been wrong.
Bad movies are bad, and especially with characters nobody cares about or likes.
But muh black girl magic (an actual line in the movie, btw, total cringe)
Seriously? “Black girl magic?”
Yes.
Samuel L. Jackson literally tells whichever girl is the black one to use black girl magic. It's in the trailer.
The funny thing is the line before that which is supposed to also be home clearly isn't his voice. Completely different accent.
Even if the whole thing wasn't cringe, it's a bad sign when you have to insert lines from completely different people
"Monica, you need to fly right now!"
"But I... uh..."
"BLACKGIRLMAGIC!!!"
That's so fucking retarded. And it's really condescending. That'd be like having a Hispanic superhero shouting "latinx justice" as he beat up the bad guys. Although I can't rule out the possibility that happened in Blue Beetle. Hollywood sucks.
Tacos.
There wasn't much advertising for this movie. For the movie to make profit, the typical calculation is: claimed budget multiplied by 2.5. x2 to cover budget + advertising expenditure, and x0.5 for the profit margin.
If this movie makes less than $300 mil, it's a hardcore flop.
