Mnuchin told Showbiz411, “You’d be surprised how many secret Republicans there are in Hollywood!”



I have a feeling I wouldn't be.



You know, I thought about waiting for the inevitable director's cut but now I'm certain I'll just wait to steal it.

This guy is a professional liar. He's FOS, most creative types in Hollywood are liberal, the percentage that are Republican is very small. Film and TV is made up of unions--SAG, AFTRA, Actor's Equity, the Writer's Guild--those are Democratic organizations and the members are by far Democrats.



Don't be fooled by anything he says. Inside the Trump campaign they're all in a panic. Even Manafort has supposedly given up because he's realized Trump simply cannot be controlled or stay on message for more than 2 minutes. Even today at his rallies, he was supposed to hit Hillary and instead he went off message and told a huge lie about seeing a video of cash being unloaded in Iran. There is no such video. None of the campaign staff could explain what he was talking about, he's driving them nuts.



I wasn't desperate to see Suicide Squad, but now I will never spend money on it.

It's like those rumors that Angelina Jolie is a republican. I absolutely buy it. I also wouldn't doubt that's where 90 percent of her marital problems with Brad Pitt stem from.

there has been more than one op ed piece from Brad's republican mother in the local paper where she lives. So much so, that brad and angie came out years ago, and said they weren't republicans. fwiw.

I think if you include EVERYONE in the industry, it prob a nice mixture.



But for a lot of the celebrities we read about on here... Even if they don't self identify as an republican, yeah, many of them seem deeply conservative. at least in practice

Oh lord!!! As if SS couldn't get any messier press! I still wanted to see it despite the bad reviews because i prefer to come to my own conclusion but with this shit right here i would not see the film any longer if i had not already bought the ticket!

Before the reviews came out, Suicide Squad was tracking for a $140 million opening weekend. But now its Rotten Tomatoes score is at 29%. Do y'all think the negative reviews are gonna impact those numbers or do you think people are gonna see this in droves anyway?

Oh it's definitely going to be an event film. The marketing - the only thing DC seems to be good at re: their cinematic universe - is amazing.



I never believed it would hit 140$ million, that was just too far out.

I feel like all the focus on the Joker in the marketing is kind of like emblematic of how DC is approaching their cinematic universe. Joker is one of their iconic characters so they promote the HELL out of him and hope that people will go see the movie for him because most people are familiar with him as a character.



Which is good for opening weekend numbers, but it's not something to really build a universe on.

The second week drop will be most telling since it seems to be critic proof at this point, although we won't know that for sure until the final numbers for the weekend are in.

The opening weekend will still be strong -- not SUPER strong -- but pretty strong. Then it's gonna drop off dramatically in the second weekend.



It's less about critic reviews than WOM, which is not good at the moment.

105-110M at the most. The reviews are killing it amongst my friends.

Yeah like the people who wanted to see it will go see it at first, then the reviews pile up into a big pile of shit and it will interfere with the general public who would've gone to see it if the reviews came in better. So I think overall it had massive commercial potential but it's a shame it apparently sucks.



I've been waiting ages to see it and am going with friend tomorrow (got tickets prior to reviews coming out), however now after the reviews + trump connections I'd have cancelled mine but I don't want to bail on my friend lol.

i mean there are shitty people who profit off a lot of these films. i think we'd be hard pressed to find a studio that wasn't employing truly shitty people.

OOPS! But seriously this is why hollywood despite all it's tal about being liberal is still very much conservative! The old white men in charge are well basically old white men and more often than not conservatives!

I despise the myth that Hollywood is some liberal mecca, considering you can take one look at the majority of films produced, plus their casts and crews, and tell they're not as "open-minded" as people think. On top of that, Hollywood is filled with wealthy white people; the demographic that always votes conservative because they think with their pockets.

I think Perlmutter stopped overseeing Marvel studios since they had a problem with him being a racist piece of shit about Rhodey's casting. He's still Marvel but the executive producer for SS feels closer to the movie.

I don't care either way tbh. Nothing in business is ethical, might as well spend my coins for my own enjoyment.

You're talking about Ike Perlmutter who everyone in Marvel hates. You're not wrong that he's a shithead but he has nothing to do with the movies. That would be Feige and I can't find anything about him re: Trump (he's shit in other ways) so this is a false equivalency.



Perlmutter's name isn't on the recent MCU movies, this dude's is.
