Box Office: 'Blinded by the Light' Bombs, Adding to Warner Bros.' Bummer Summer

's losses will be minimal . And it's hardly alone in not working — a slew of adult-skewing, original titles have failed this summer, including Richard Linklater'sWarners' film studio is counting on a strong fall and winter to turn its fortunes around, beginning withset to hit theaters on Oct. 4, is another priority.

The edgy superhero pic, starring Joaquin Phoenix, is making its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in hopes of being a player in the awards race. Other high-profile titles on the studio's year-end calendar include"As for Warner Bros., every studio's ups and downs are slate dependent, and each has had their great years and not such great years, solid corridors and dismal ones," says Paul Dergarabedian of Comscore.

You know what their answer is.. Step 1) fire Toby Emmerich Step 2) goddam ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Let Toby Emmerich continue and this studio will be extinct in 5 years

Y'all need some better pr goddamn

ReleaseTheSnyderCut

That’s what they get!!! ReleaseTheSnyderCut and watch the 💵 roll in you mugs!!!

Not to be rude but they brought this on themselves. They pushed us all away with the treatment they meted to Mr Snyder and now they expect us to shale hands? No, rehire and reinstate him and watch your box office bloom again

Release the damn Snyder cut and we will return with our money

Hey Emmerich no WB film made as much as Snyder’s 300😂 And we will stay away until you wake up and ReleaseTheSnyderCut

If WB would have released Snyder’s cut of justice league I wouldn’t have skipped all the WB films this year But WB didn’t listen So Snyder fans stayed away from the studio this year as all their films flopped Superman and Justice league are bigger than WB will ever be

Serves them right now ReleaseTheSnyderCut and try to make up to the fans you screwed over wbpictures oh and BringBackZackSnyder

Good. Untill they ReleaseTheSnyderCut me and many other are not going to pay for their movies. SImple as that.

This is the same person that halted the DCEU and has it's core base pleading to release it's latest film which is stored in a vault. Unbelievable.

The Snyder cut would change that WBHomeEnt wbpictures ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Very very poor management. Needs to go.

warnerbros Release the SnyderCut and the curse will be lifted lol

BoycottWarnerBros

Till they ReleaseTheSnyderCut .. All their marketing campaigns will be spammed by our RSTC demands

Bombed? That’s a shame, I really liked Blinded by the light. Didn’t it only cost 15 mil to make? With such a small pb and a modest marketing campaign this film could still turn a a small profit.

Toby Emmerich is the problem. That guy is useless.

Blinded by the Light is as subtle as brick to the face and short odds to be the cheesiest, cringiest movie of the year. I mean just wow.

I don’t know how a movie about a British Pakistani boy’s obsession with Bruce Springsteen and named for a song that is arguably far more famous as a cover not sung by Springsteen didn’t connect with audiences. (I liked it though).

Toby Emmerich is in charge of warnerbros abysmal run. The man needs to leave. FireTobyEmmerich

sergioees I didn't have any idea that that movie even existed. WB is so bad at promoting their movies.

Serves their asses right. Toby Emmerich & warner choppers love to lie to fans, backstab directors, order uneccessary reshoots, chop up films & hide away directors cuts. Live in Feige's shadow u damn ass Toby🙄🖕

So many typos in this. Does nobody edit this writer?

I still need to watch it sucks I couldn't see it opening day since I was at my brother's wedding

That movie was soooo good. The previews did not do it justice. BlindedByTheLightMovie

Tbh I never saw any advertising or press push for this film, so I feel really bad but also there was a pretty large marketing issue

this and that yesterday movie by all appearances look ... sub-par

But it was such a good movie!

I could have told them that when I saw the preview.

studio is basically cursed until they release the Snyder cuts and reinstate Snyder with even more clout

Hands up who could have predicted that...
