R-rated comedy filmBirds of Prey: The Fascinating Story of Harley Quinn“could be one of the main failures of 2023, but the pandemic that broke out in the spring somewhat blurred the effect.
The project managed to set an anti-record MCU, raising in the first weekend in the North American market only 45-50 million dollars. Before that I was trailing in the tail “Shazam!“, which earned 53 million dollars over the same period.
It is especially funny that after the start of the rental studio Warner Bros. panicked, changed the title of the tape – from “Birds of Prey: The Fantastic Story of Harley Quinn” (Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) on “Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey“(Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey).
