>>88732286>>88732694The problem is Warner Bros. They've spent a good portion of the 90s and 00s professionally losing buckets of money on bad movies, mostly cape, action, and historical epics.
90s
>Bonfire of the Vanities (1990), 5 Razzie nominations>Nothing But Trouble (1991), 6 Razzie nominations, 1 win>Batman and Robin (1997), of course, 11 Razzie nominations, 1 win>Kevin Costner's The Postman (1997), 6 Razzie nominations and 5 wins, also notable for losing WB $71 million>The Avengers (1998, the British TV series adaptation), 9 Razzie nominations, 1 win>Wild Wild West (1999), which despite being an absolute masterpiece, got 9 Razzie nominations and 5 winsI know it's from /tv/ but if anyone here has screencaps of the story about why there's a giant spider in Wild Wild West, it's an amazingly retarded story
00s
>Battlefield Earth (2000), 8 Razzie nominations, 7 wins>Red Planet (2000), which lost a pretty impressive $63 million2002 brought us two absolute WB masterpieces
>The Adventures of Pluto Nash (with Eddie Murphy) somehow got a big enough budget to lose $96 million>Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever also somehow lost $70 million>Gods and Generals (2003)>Alexander (2004) lost $71 million, and blessed us with that hilarious Rosario Dawson sex scene>Catwoman (2004) of course, 7 Razzie nominations and 4 wins>Poseidon (2006), 1 Razzie nomination, lost $69 millionWB had been a pretty dysfunctional studio for a decade while Marvel properties (albeit through Fox and Sony) got huge, and Marvel Studios planned the MCU, it's no wonder they couldn't get their shit together. They were about as bad a film studio then as Sony Pictures or Lionsgate is today.
I'd say they've arguably improved now because they're actually making a shared universe but Tsujihara and Deborah Snyder are still making decisions
