The recent cancellation of Batgirl surprised everyone, but it seems that the reasons that Warner Bros. revealed are not the real ones. All the info In this note!
The most surprising cancellation in recent days is that of the film batgirlannounced through the social networks of Warner Bros Discovery. To the surprise of many, we will not be able to see the project live action with Leslie Grace like the superheroine, brendan fraser as his villain and Michael Keaton What Batman one more time. But the most surprising thing about the announcement is that the film had already been recorded in its entirety and a few $90 million in her.
After much speculation and rumors about the reason for the cancellation, Warner Bros. I inform the reason for the cancellation. As they explained, batgirl It wouldn’t make it to theaters or hbo max because the film had a very different tone than the rest of the films in the DCEU. Among the rumors that emerged after this statement, there was talk that the film had a very simple story for a theatrical release, but could not reach the cinema screen. hbo max because Warner Bros he spent much more on the film than on other projects for the platform.
Other rumors claimed that the film did poorly in the test screening and that if Warner Bros. decided to take the film out would probably affect the rest of the DCEU. But these rumors seem to be wrong, since the medium THR revealed that in the only test projection batgirl did not have poor results.
The film was shown to an audience that knew the visual effects weren’t finished, yet it still scored a 60. It may not be a very high number, but it is the same value that the first projection of it in 2017. If we take that into account, probably the batgirl it would have raised money worldwide although it may not have raised the 701 million it got Item.
But something very interesting is that batgirl got the same score as Shazam! fury of the gods, movie that Warner Bros. He did not cancel and will even hit the movies this year. batgirl is not the only original film of hbo max who received his full write-off this week, Scooby! Holiday Haunting it was also filed somewhere in Warner Bros Discovery.
Although the not so good reaction of the public is a reason why many films are cancelled, batgirl It’s from the superhero genre. Within the genre, there are many films that should not have been released due to their low test screening scores. Some well-known examples are Green Lantern and the version of 2016 of suicide squad. Another great example is Morbiusthe film that received the lowest rating in the superhero genre in recent 20 years. Considering that many movies that are probably worse than batgirl saw the light, it is very bad news for the world of cinema.
