Adding to the "Why Supergirl flopped" conversation: I was 100% planning on going opening weekend, but before I got around to it, the early reviews had a clear patern that killed my excitement. I instead spent last weekend catching up on animated DC movies for free on HBO Max (Injustice, JL Aquaman, and Justice League Dark: Apakolypse). I enjoyed all 3 films for the same time investment as a trip to the movies, and picked up "Woman of Tommorow" at my local comic book store for about the same price as a movie ticket, saving myself the cost of snacks and parking/ubers. It basically boiled down to "The juice isn't worth the squeeze". Taking my girlfriend to the movies as a date can cost upwards of $100, and that's a lot of money to force her to see a movie I'm only kind of interested in. Being a decent, or even great, movie is no longer good enough; a movie has to be a bona fide experience to be worth it For example, I saw Superman and Jurassic World 4 as a double feature last year. I was excited enough for Superman to rush out and JW4 got a ticket sale from me because it came out the week before. I did not see Fantastic 4 because it came out 2 weeks later. Chances are I won't see the Odyssey unless I decide I want to see Spider-Man Double features split the fixed costs of ubers/parking and concessions between two films, and it changes the psychology from "Seeing this movie isn't worth the hastle" to "I've set aside this day for a special outing". Would Supergirl and Clayface both sell more tickets if they were released the same weekend? What percentage of either audience do you think plans on seeing Dunesday as a double feature? Why can't Marvel and DC play nice so I can see Supergirl and Spider-Man in the same day?

The Sheep Detectives instantly became one of, if not my favorite movie of the year. It just hit everything perfectly. Plus it made me cry
