  • It is really an unknown on how it will do. The general audience barely seems to even know who Ezra Miller is, let alone their drama and why there is no media tour. The domestic audience has been burned on DCEU films and may not bother during a packed summer, especially for a franchise that is being rebooted.

    Then there are the people that will not see the movie due to the shit Ezra Miller has done. That may not seem like a lot of people, but many of these people are people who are fans of DC comics and superhero movies. As a queer person, I worry the allegations against Ezra are going to be weaponized against the community in the current political climate.

    The international audience is not as attached to the Flash character, but likes action movies, so that is a total wildcard. There are a lot of other movies to pull their money coming soon, so they may not go.

    It also seems since WB went really hard with the previews and early screenings, many people have already seen this movie, so reviews from Youtubers and critics are out. There is no rush to see it since spoilers are already out there. Since so many reviews and plot points are already out, some may just wait until it hits streaming.


  • They took a subpar deal in 2021 and avoided a strike. Many were hurting since productions were stopped due to the pandemic at the time and were just starting back up. I think they had a lot of power going into talks with the studios since the Rust accident had just happened, but the ones negotiating did not do enough to ensure safety. Long work hours have been an issue with IATSE crew, streaming rights, and I think the deal they took was not that great and barely passed.

    The deal was only for 3 years and ratified on Nov. 15, 2021 with only 52% of the members voting yes.


  • I really enjoyed it. I also liked all the behind the scenes stuff and how they had to change things on the fly.

    I know that Amazon/Freevee is hoping to enter it for awards season. It is in a grey area though since it is scripted expect for the main guy.

    The categories are much more strict now since the studios have been gaming the system so they don’t compete with their other shows by putting them in different categories. I don’t know what category Jury Duty would fit under since they have been strict this season.
