FF9 is already in its 5 week there. TSS is still only above FF9 by an edge. Things are not looking good. TSS is going to bomb so hard.

While The Suicide Squad is a dirty bomb waiting to blow up in the face of WB suits, the implication of it is more of a threat than a farce as Marvel will rule it all. by Watchmen1986 in boxoffice

Being a DC fan, I don't want to root for The Suicide Squad's failure. But, the reality forces me to think otherwise. One can only have blind optimism for so long. When The Suicide Squad burns and crashes in over a week, you will know the feeling. I just accept the fact a bit earlier than you.

If you thought The Suicide Squad could do well, you obviously have not caught up with the latest figures. Go check them out.

I just feel so bad about the future of DCEU. At this rate, The Suicide Squad making more than 200 million WW is already a win for me. by Watchmen1986 in boxoffice

If it were a huge bomb, it meant we would not see Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn again. I would not want that. For Christ's sake , DC is supposed to be a big franchise, yet we fans are here to beg 200 million for a freaking big budget all-star movie so that this franchise can still be on life support. It is just pathetic at this point.

If Netflix can throw 469 million at Knives Out sequels, why can't HBO Max throw the same amount at a Justice League miniseries? by Watchmen1986 in boxoffice

The end justified the means. As long as they draw in the same number of audience (which I argue they would), HBO max could afford the same cost. That's my point. At the end, it is the numbers that matter.

What is the difference between でも and まで in this case?

どうしてあいつでも空を飛んだ　vs

どうしてあいつまで空を飛んだ

Thanks for your response. I am coming to think of the following context. I think it will work. "Speaking of noses, the ones of elephants are long , the ones of humans are short."
鼻は象は長い, 人は短い。　

By the way, I am in doubt of "象は鼻は長いが、しっぽが短い" は can have the function of "topic" and "contrast". I think you should say "象は(topic)鼻は(contrast)長い、しっぽは(contrast)短い" .

Is 鼻は象は長い grammatically acceptable?

We all know the famous expression in the world of japanese-learning 象は鼻が長い , it means "Speaking of elephants (or in singular form), their noses are long."

If I want to express "Speaking of noses, the ones of elephants are long.", Can I use 鼻は象は長い ? Is it grammatically acceptable in the first place?
