So far, Warner Bros.’ film entries in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) have come up a bit short of expectations, with both critics and audiences alike disappointed in the studio’s most recent offerings, Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad.

After these movies were critically panned and audiences were less than thrilled, fans and those involved in the filmmaking process were quick to defend the respective films citing that they wasn’t made for critics. An easy argument to make, especially when films like these get completely railroaded by critics. To be fair, the two did make a decent amount of cash at the box office, but they both also saw huge drops in their respective second week — Batman v Superman fell 69% in its second week, just a few percentage points more than Suicide Squad‘s 67%.

In the past few weeks, Warner Bros.’ DCEU has been receiving a wave of negative publicity fueled by the widespread critical panning of both Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and David Ayer’s Suicide Squad. Even before their respective releases, reports coming out did not cast a good reflection on the DCEU or its future. These reports ranged from multiple writers signing on for competing scripts to studio interfering with the Suicide Squad editing process. Recently, an “open letter” written by an ‘angry” former WB employee who wrote under the name “Gracie Law” to WB CEO Kevin Tsujihara said Wonder Woman is a mess, and that the studio was trying to hide it “behind the great trailer.”

But a lot of these criticisms don’t come without their counter arguments, as we have seen from the cast of Suicide Squad and now Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins, who is responding to that open letter that claims Wonder Woman is “a mess.” More on the story below.

There are plenty of reasons why Warner Bros. should be happy with Suicide Squad‘s box office performance last week, but also plenty of reasons why they should be worried. Despite a $135 million weekend opening, the film saw a 40% drop off on Saturday and another 20% drop on Sunday. Experts are saying that while David Ayer‘s film will probably get the number one spot again, it most likely stands to see a 60% – 65% drop from last week, according to THR. As the numbers continue to decline at such an alarming rate, more reports are coming out about how studio interference may have done more harm than good and how some of the actors were displeased with the lack of screen time they got despite how much footage was shot.

It’s not something we haven’t seen before, especially when it comes to WB trying to figure out what to do with the DCEU. But as more and more reports come out, a scathing open letter written to CEO Kevin Tsujihara reveals that the future of the DCEU is in more trouble than we’d like to think. More on the story below.
