Studio Warner bros makes desperate efforts to save the film “Birds of Prey: A Stunning Harley Quinn Story“which set the anti-record of the cinema universe DC on fees. The tape debuted in the United States on February 7, and the company hoped to raise $ 45 million or more for the first weekend exclusively in the home market.
However, in reality, the project earned only 33.3 million dollars. The total world fees amounted to 81.2 million dollars, while the budget of the tape is about 85 million.
Given these numbers, the tape still has a chance of payback. And the leadership of Warner Bros. in a panic, trying to recapture costs by taking a rather absurd step.
The fact is that the film directed by Katy Yan was … renamed. Now it’s called not “Birds of Prey: A Stunning Harley Quinn Story“(Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), a “Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey“(Harley quinn: birds of prey)
The company clearly wants to focus on the main advantage of the project, which remains itself Harley quinn performed by Margot Robbie. It is not yet clear whether such a maneuver will affect all markets, but in the United States, some cinema chains have already changed signboards.
At the same time, one cannot help but recall another absurd story that happened with the film “Cats“, which was crushed by critics and failed miserably at the box office. Already after the premiere, cinemas received a” patched “version of the tape with slightly improved CGI graphics.
