The actress gets candid about her superhero film flopping: "It's not nice to be a part of something that's ripped to shreds, but I can't say that I don't understand."

“It’s so hard to get movies made, and in these big movies that get made — and it’s even starting to happen with the little ones, which is what’s really freaking me out — decisions are being made by committees, and art does not do well when it’s made by committee,” she added. “Films are made by a filmmaker and a team of artists around them. You cannot make art based on numbers and algorithms. My feeling has been for a long time that audiences are extremely smart, and executives have started to believe that they’re not. Audiences will always be able to sniff out bullshit. Even if films start to be made with AI, humans aren’t going to fucking want to see those.”

    I like that one, too! It’s no dramatic piece, like Dark Knight or Winter Soldier, but it’s a rocking good time. It knows what it’s trying to be, a silly Harley Quinn and company movie. I wish the little kid was less annoying in the movie, though lol.

      You get it.

      But I still wish it did a bit better at the box office though…

        Here is a question for you: is the income of box office so much bigger than sales/streaming income afterwards? Do actors even get money from streams/licensing/dvd sales/whatever?
