Warner Bros. Discovery’s “Blue Beetle” arrives in cinemas this weekend and is expected to tally between $22 million and $32 million domestically.
Marvel Studios was able to to introduce obscure comic book characters like the Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man and Moon Knight into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and turn them into fan favorites.
"We're in limbo now," said Shawn Robbins, chief analyst at BoxOffice.com."In a world where superheroes aren't really novelties anymore, that's going to be a tough sell for a lot of people." "Blue Beetle" still falls into some of the old trappings of past superhero movies, including chaotic, repetitive CGI fight sequences, but some say as DC course corrects in the next few years, it should look to keep Mariduena and Blue Beetle on its roster.
Similar concerns abound for"Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom," which is scheduled for a December release. The sequel has a budget of around $205 million, but has goneas well as endured pandemic production costs. While many blockbusters will turn to reshoots to punch up dialogue or insert scenes to clarify beats within the film, few require this many rounds of additional photography.
