Not reading this thread to see if anyones already said this because it means reading your 1 note annoying DC hate posts, but a simple reason is marketing it right, the Flashpoint cartoon *I haven't read the comic* had a major point being the war between Atlantis and the Amazons, Wonder Woman is a hit so if Aquaman is even a modest hit that's the selling point there, Aquaman Vs. Wonder Woman with Flash being the only one able to stop it with Batman, Cyborg & Superman involved as supporting roles.
Also are you mathematically challenged? BVS did $850m or so, JL looks to do $650-700m that means at worst less than 25% of the BVS audience left, they still have a HUGE fanbase who turn out for the films, and given JL did appeal to most fans it's unlikely they'll boycott Flashpoint, then as I said you set up a war beteen Aquamans people & Wonder Woman's people and it's an easy sell.
What does the cartoon have to do with anything? That's not selling the film. Wonder Woman didn't sell Justice League, unless you're saying it would have done much worse, so why would she sell Flashpoint? Aquaman and Flash aren't draws yet obviously so good luck I guess.
650-700 for a film that should have made 200% of that and which made 25% less than it's previous entry is pathetic. The question is if you are mathematically challenged?
"most fans" lol. You mean not counting the ones who didn't show up right? ;-) I love how "most" 51% is acceptable. If you can't see the problem with such a large number not liking it, I don't know what to tell you.
God your an idiot.
The plot of the animated film was when Flash alters time the new timeline has Atlantis at war with the Amazons, so given Wonder Womans success and if Aquaman is even a modest hit then selling Flashpoint on that, as the war between the Amazons & Atlanteans would get a lot of attention, you than add Flash as the pivotal character who can set things right and sprinkle in the other JL members for a fuller universe and it's an easy sell.
The whole JL should have made $1.5b is stupid that's not what it should have made but what it COULD have made, Batman Begins made less than $400m Dark Knight made over $1b, Rises made over $1b also does that mean Begins should have made $1b also and is a failure for not doing so because clearly Batman is capable of making over $1b per film...No because that's not what it should have made but could have if the circumstances were right, circumstances for JL sure as fuck weren't right so why do you think it should have made max BO? that's just fucking stupid.
