better small role in epic movie that main role in disaster. this will open doors for her carrier .

 

No it won't lol, it's a meaningless role. Also, Justice League is turning out to be a financial disaster because it's the lowest opening movie in DC history. They have already earned 70 million less than what Batman vs Superman did in the same time period. DC keeps screwing up.

It's still the number 1 movie worldwide

& made almost $300 million this weekend alone

Justice League has biggest box office opening of all time in Brazil 

But yeah it's the lowest DC movie at the American box office and kinda disaster because it's the second most expensive movie ever made & they expected a billion dollar box office movie...but now it's expected to make "only" $600/700 million

 

Her role in Wonder Woman is meaningless but her role in Justice League is relevant as Amazon ... she was the best

Doutzen nailed it!

With you writing this, I don't think you understand how financing in movie business works.

First off, the movie is falling hard behind predictions and may not even break even. The reason is that movies cost a lot more than initially reported because of the massive marketing campaign. So if a movie like JL ends up with "only" as you say, $700 mil it ends up with having a bunch of people fired. The fact that movie opened $70 mil less than BvS is incredibly worrying which means that in following weeks studio will earn even less. Bulk of money comes from first week, no comic book movie earns more per week with time, money always slowly drops with each week. On top of that, there are contracts with movie theaters which say that in first few weeks (depends on each movie) studio earns bigger percentage of ticket sales, as weeks go by that percentage goes down. Translation, it's looking really bad.

 

Also, quoting Brazil is laughable. Warner Brothers earns a lot less from foreign markets than they do from domestic. They flopped hard.

 

Read this entire quote:

Justice League - It's a very odd time in modern Hollywood when an opening of $90M+ is a disaster but here we are as Justice League, the fifth DCEU film, became the first film of the franchise to open below $100M, opening at #1 with $94M. Now if you're wondering why that is so terrible then strap in folks, we have a lot to discuss. First off is that the budget of Justice League is now tied with Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End for the second most expensive movie of all time with a reported budget of $300M, so opening with just a third of that is already terrible but then we bring in the comparisons. First in terms of the DCEU the closest preceding film in terms of story and character would be Batman v Superman, a film that struggled to also reach the heights of its expectations but still managed to domestically open $70M more than Justice League just last year ($166M). Then there's Wonder Woman, who occupies 1/5th of the marketable team in the film yet her solo film this year opened higher than the team up film ($104M). Then of course there is comparing it to other films where the failure hurts even more. This should be an opening comparable to The Avengers with the same level of major recognizable characters from the biggest comic competition Marvel has. Instead you can't even come close to the $207.4M opening of that film as this film opened worse than Iron Man ($98.6M), Thor: Rangarok ($122.7M), and opened just $3M above The Amazing Spider-man 2 ($91.6M). This opening should be competing for the best opening of all time, instead it's only the 20th best opening for a superhero film, it isn't in the top 50 best opening weekends, and it just barely made the top 10 best openings in November. Internationally the film also did not perform very well, as it was the 24th best international opening ever with $281.5 and was beaten by Twilight Breaking Dawn Parts 1 ($291.0M) and Part 2 ($340.6M), Iron Man 3 ($372.5M), and fellow DCEU film Batman v Superman ($422.5M). In China especially the film faltered, opening to $51.7M which is less than Avengers: Age of Ultron made in its second weekend in China ($54.3M). That's just $9M more than what Ant-Man opened to in China as wekk. Need I remind you that this is tied for the second most expensive film in history that reportedly needs to make $700M just to break even? If this film has the same hold as BvS then we are looking at a domestic haul under $200M, half the domestic take of Wonder Woman at twice the price. This is not bias, this is not Marvel shill talk, this is not gloating, this is not pandering, this is not a drill. This is one of the worst openings for a major franchise film ever. So what the hell happened?

 

When a disaster happens there's always someone to point the finger too, but like most problems it's more systemic than personal. Let's start with the scapegoat de jour for many fans of the franchise, Joss Whedon who took over for Zack Snyder in terms of directing duties after Snyder left for tragic family reasons. While the word at the time was Whedon was just coming in to complete Snyder's vision it's clear now that's not what happened was the film faced massive reshoots, a complete tonal shift, and Whedon even getting writing credit. Critics were definitely not a fan of the muddled tones but bad reviews didn't stop BvS or Suicide Squad from opening big. A better answer might just be general exhaustion. Three of the four DCEU films before Justice League received negative RT scores (Justice League is currently sitting with a 40% on RT) and BvS and Suicide Squad in particular were featured on many worst of the year lists in 2016. We also saw the way the audience has chosen their preferred tones, as Wonder Woman opened well but unlike previous DECU films bucked the trend and held incredibly well ending with a 4x multiplier after 5 months in theaters. There just was no passion for the brand this time, no urgency or event building that made The Avengers such a smash success. There's also the matter that the film was so rushed, with only two of the six main characters in Justice League having a solo movie beforehand and one of those characters going into the film is dead! Marvel had proven audiences going into Avengers so they knew there would likely be a payoff for that.

 

It will be interesting to watch what happens now as only Aquaman, The Batman, and Wonder Woman 2 seem to be the most likely of the myriad of project to actually reach audiences right now. WB has a big problem on their hands with series that is not working like they wanted BUT one character (Wonder Woman) that audiences love and a franchise that seemed like it would open every film over $100M. Despite my reservations on how the previous DC films held in their longtail they were undeniably profitable and now we are looking at WB possible taking its third big loss of the year on what they thought was the easiest out of the park hit they had. Even worse is just the morale loss of this, as this is supposed to be the capper film to launch a new wave of films piggybacking off a massive hit, but the audience basically gave it the most expensive shrug of all time. This is going to be a big big moment not just for WB but for the industry as a whole. We are living in an age where a $94M opening is a failure because expectations have ballooned budgets and marketing to such a degree that it's become insane. I don't know if we've reached peak blockbuster but Justice League feels like the closest we've come yet. Here is a studio that put their most famous superheroes in their first team up movie in the second most expensive movie ever made with their full studio backing during a time where these films are making the most money ever and they couldn't even top a solo movie from themselves this year that cost half as much. If that doesn't sound like the beginning of a downfall, then what the hell else does?

 

It's along read but I hope you read it to see in just how much trouble DC and WB are right now.

Last few days she's been in Thailand with Sunnery

Yesterday Sunnery left Thailand and flew to Sydney .. no idea if Doutzen joined him or perhaps she stayed or flew back to Holland

Mert & Marcus are also in Thailand right now :p hopefully she's with them and make a great shoot

Vogue Portugal covers looking great indeed but seeing Doutzen on that Vogue edition would be weird because it's one of the least important Vogue editions 

 

Within few days (December 1) we get new Hunkemöller Holiday campaign + tv commercial

And hopefully that mysterious Mert & Marcus shoot for Vogue Italia December/Vogue UK January cover ... or new Calvin Klein Reveal campaign

I have faith...

 

I hope something will come out of this shoot! I know that in fashion it takes a little longer, but we’re almost six months a long since that shoot
