Superman Fixes DC: Already Passing Last 5 DCEU Films At The Box Office

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode #62, recorded Monday July 17th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:3:45 Daniel Taylor - In almost every film I've seen this year, there have been people blatantly using their phones during the movie. Some of the more popular movies even had entire rows of people on their phones. Do you think it's time for Drive-in theaters to return in order to combat this problem? Because the understaffed theaters in my area don't seem to be capable.7:21 Optimus TheGamer - Hey John, when do you think the new trailer for Jurassic World 2 will pop up? Don't you think it was a little rush since it took 4 months only?10:58 Noot - Greetings john my question is since Warner brothers owns all the dc characters why did it take so long to create a shared universe? i mean marvel with all their obstacles were able to create a shared universe with its heroes. was it a lack of vision? or innovation? you would think dc/WB would have done this years ago, would love to hear your thoughts.15:44 Tampa Movie Guy - Been following you since Man of Steel review in 2013. My question is, what do you think of the recent Netflix movies War Machine and Okja? While these get talked about a lot when they are announced due to the talent involved, I feel like upon release on Netflix, they get no where near the attention that theater-released movies get. No one is talking about them. Does that mean no one is seeing them?19:00 Tim Duplisea - Hey John love the new podcast. You have mentioned many times how much you like Batman V Superman and I am total agreement with you. I also know that we are in the minority. If the infamous " Martha" scene never happened do you think it would have been more widely accepted? To me it is the only part of the film where I found myself rolling my eyes. Anyways keep up the great work25:21 Jeff Steinbeck - Hello John, big fan. Since we have four films in the DCEU, how would you rank them so far? Thanks for taking my question and keep up the great work. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Many theaters had showings all night to fill demand, and could not do much more than they did for TFA. What is the max opening weekend you think is physically possible if demand were not an issue?9:25 Matt Varney - With the Sony / Marvel partnership details still blurry at best, has there been any confirmation on which members of Spider-man's rogues gallery Marvel has access to? Clearly Venom, Black Cat & Silver Sable are off limits, but has there been any deal made for Marvel to have 1st draft on the other villains and of so, who?11:00 Flemming Jensen - Hi there, I'm a great fan of your channel. I have a question about the Valerian movie. When not many movie viewers know about the french graphic novels it was based on, do you think the audiens will see it as a copy of Star Wars, Guardians of the galaxy, Avatar etc. when its the other way around? And do you think it could influence the success of the movie?13:01 Tristan El - With Disney recently announcing that they have yet to cast the lead role in their live action release what do you think are the chances of them casting Dev Patel? I personally have been advocating for he and Freida Pinto in the lead roles way before Disney announced a live action release in a "what if.." scenario having a Slumdog reunion.

Love the podcast! My question to you is 'What is the latest on a Matthew Vaughn directed Man of Steel sequel? He is my first choice for this and I hope he is still in the running. If he doesn't get the gig, however, who would you like to see come in and direct it? My second choice is JA Bayona who has publicly stated what a fan of the character he is'16:42 Bryan Kruse - Dunkirks run time was just officially revealed to be only 107 minutes. Does that sound way to short for a war movie and a Nolan movie? I was thinking 2 and a half hours at least.18:39 Bomb Squad - Hey John, with San Diego Comic-Con just around the corner, do you think that Marvel will drop any Infinity War footage? Last year, all the chatter was about DC, with Justice League and Wonder Woman. Does Marvel drop Infinity War, Thor, or Black Panther?21:51 Thomas Stimpson - Hello John, my name is Thomas and I was wondering what your feelings on 'The Wire' are? I heard Josh Macuga say you had started watching it a little while ago. I believe it's the best show ever made and the people I know who have seen it all agree. How would you compare it to 'Breaking Bad'? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 59 recorded Tuesday July 11th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions: 2:11 Jake Cleveland - Hey John I have a questions about property rights, I was recently watching the first Spiderman movie and I noticed Aunt May told Peter he's not Superman. I was just wondering how a Spiderman movie that is made by Sony could reference a DC superhero owned by Warner Brothers? Would love to hear your opinion or am I just over complicating this?3:57 Jim Casey - It seems after watching the movie that Marvel really wove Spider-man into the MCU. What happens if after Homecoming 2 Sony and Marvel decide not to continue the deal? For Marvel it seems easy, they just don't put him in anymore MCU movies. For Sony how would they unravel Spider-man out of the MCU without having to do yet another reboot? Thanks for your time and love the new podcast!8:11 Daniel Fitzpatrick - Hi John loving the new resurgence of the channel lately. My question is about why studios release certain movies a lot later in some countries. For example Cars 3 is only opening here in Ireland this forthcoming weekend whilst it opened in the US a few weeks ago. 11:14 Joshua Langston - Hey John! Here's one I hope you can talk about! Do you think we'll see any more movies set in Middle Earth? I understand that New Line Cinema has just the rights to the Hobbit and the Lord of the Ring and not the Silmarillion unfortunately. Do you envision a return to this world someday on the big screen?13:24 Chris Debord - It's obvious that DC is trying to have the same success the MCU has had. Do you ever think that DC will be as successful and intricate as Marvel has been able to be? With a lot of projects they are working on seemingly being stuck in development hell, I just don't see the DCEU lasting much longer than Justice League 2.19:11 Hardybuck14 - Thoughts on the Borg vs Mcenroe trailer? And do you think Shia Labeouf is a capable oscar winner? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 58 recorded Monday July 10th 2017) John takes the following viewers questions:0:48 Sebastián Lerda - Hi John, love your podcast, watch it daily. My question to you is, what is your take on the Dark Tower movie? Do you think it'll be far different from the books? Do you think it'll be a trilogy and series?5:40 Julia Vermoothe - Just saw Spider-Man Homecoming and I absolutely loved it! It might be my favorite movie of the year. My question is: Is this the best Spider-Man movie ever? How would you rank the existing Spider-Man films? Thank you and bring on the filthy! 9:16 Rory Hogan - Hi John, my question for you is: Do you think all films can be considered art, or do you think that many blockbuster franchises such as Transformers are merely made to sell tickets and have no artistic intentions whatsoever? Thanks!14:30 Bradley Davis - Bradley Davis- Hello John. I think we might be in for a down year when it comes to animated films. The only great one I can think of right now is The Lego Batman movie. So with that in mind, what are the chances that The Lego Batman gets nominated for best animated film?17:58 Callum Morrison - After seeing the news of Daniel Day Lewis' retirement I am curious to know who do you believe can take up the mantle of, or is the best working actor today?23:02 Humphrey Rogers - Superhero films are big. While I love them to death, do you believe they are indirectly to blame for Hollywood's reliance on brand-name (franchise) filmmaking? Many 'original' films have to be auteur driven while a film like Battleship gets greenlit instantly. What are your thoughts, John. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 57, recorded Saturday July 8th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:1:19 Miljan Tanić - We've just got Peter Parker as Spider-Man in the MCU but, many people have been clamoring for years, wanting to see a movie-version of Miles Morales. Now since Sony is making their own Spider-verse, and since I really can't imagine Spider-Man villains in their own movies without any trace of Spider-Man (it would be bonkers)... is it feasible that Sony makes their own Spider-Man with Miles Morales?6:34 Philip Jacobsen - Loving the "new" channel and content. My question is regarding the comedy genre. Is the pure comedy genre dead? I remember back in the 90's and the early 00's feeling like there was a stream of gut-busting comedies released every year. Now I struggle to name a handful of comedies from the last 7-10 years that have come close to the comedies of the 90's and early 00's.9:50 Rondale Williams - Do you think Spiderman: Homecoming will out earn Wonder Woman at the box office this weekend? Why or why not?13:35 Ryan Clarke - Ready Player One has been done filming since late last year and is currently in a heavy post production stage. With the film slated for a March 2018 release date, when do you think we will get our first footage from the film?15:42 Hampton Sipper - Hey John! I've been following you for a while and thoroughly enjoy listening to your insight. I wanted to ask your thoughts on the TV show, The Office. I've never heard you talk about it and just wanted to hear your thoughts. Thanks man and God bless!19:38 Kenny Drew - I have a question about who will get directing credit for the both Justice League and the Young Han Solo movies, as they seem to be similar situations. Will both Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon receive directing credit on Justice League? And will Ron Howard and Lord/Miller share credit on Han Solo? Learn more about your ad choices.

What are your thoughts on Uthaug's directing ability, and the movie's potential to infuse the video game movie genre?3:04 Trey Davis - Comic Con is coming up later this month. DC only has two movies with official release dates coming out, Justice League in November and Aquaman next December. Assuming DC will be there, do you think they will focus their time on those two movies, or will they also announce future movie and tell us about movies like Batman, Batgirl, and Flash? 9:04 Bryan Kruse - In a recent podcast you mentioned your wife is an exec at hasbro. Im curious, does she get a little offended at you and your former Collider colleagues bashing of the Transformers movies?12:54 Jenny Dunn - I read on Deadline that Spider-Man Homecoming is tracking for around a $100 million domestic opening weekend. That can’t be right can it? I thought it would be closer to $180 million or something like that.16:19 William Bento - How much is/should the message of a movie be considered when talking about oscar consideration? For example an amazing movie that happens to be nazi propaganda.20:11 Pardis Jesudasen - Do you think the reason that Disney/lucasfilm didn't show anything about Han Solo at celebration due to the behind scenes?

Since it’s being directed by one of the John Wick directors, what do you think the chances are that we see Charlize visit a Continental hotel while in Berlin.3:20 Charleston Thomas - I recently heard RDJ interviewed and he said he wants to hang up the iron Man suit before it gets embarrassing. Do you think RDJ wants to leave the MCU? Or that he simply wants smaller roles in the MCU, like he does in Spider-Man Homecoming?6:18 Kishawn Lewis - Ghost in the shell was no "Movie of the Year", but I don't think people actually realize how successful this film is being a live action anime adaptation coming out of hollywood. I've also observed the unsatisfactory reception of most movie critics, but as a fan of the series do you think these responses could hinder a possible sequel, and is Paramount and Rupert even in talks to continue?8:43 Anthony Perez - My question is regarding this facebook post Sylvester Stallone recently put up implying that the sequel to CREED will involve Adonis fighting the son of Ivan Drago, or even Drago himself. while this idea is all kinds of awesome, it does raise a question...... is Stallone writing and directing CREED 2 himself?12:13 Micah Delgado - Alien: Covenant stands as my favorite film of the year thus far, and Ridley Scott has stated that he plans to make at least 2 more films in this Alien Prequel series. However, the film overall was a box office disappointment, and the critical reception was about the same as Prometheus. With the disappointing returns of Covenant, and Ridley Scott coming up on 80 this year, will we see another Ridley Scott Alien film?15:12 Chris Clough - With Universal releasing the Director's cut of Fast & Furious 8 exclusive to digital, is the studio signalling blu-ray is dying?
