The film was panned by critics
The comic book adaptations like “Batman V Superman: dawn of justice”, too bloated budgets that with mediocre quality virtually eliminates the profitability of these projects. This was told in an interview with Deadline, the actor and Director Mel Gibson.
“Look, if you spend some crazy amount, say, more than 180 million dollars, I have absolutely no idea how to recover such expenses, after you come to the tax office, and once you give at least half the movie theaters. How many they put into “Batman vs Superman”, well, at least what they are officially announced?”, he said.
After receiving the answer of the correspondent that 250 million dollars and an unknown amount of money on advertising pictures, Gibson reacted very expressive: “And they did just slag”.
According to Gibson, he is not interested in projects of this kind. “You know the difference between superheroes and real superheroes from the comics? These do not dress in spandex. So I don’t know. Apparently, spandex is too expensive,” he added.
Recall that the “Batman vs. Superman” has earned in world hire of $ 870 million, but was panned by critics.
