BATMAN V SUPERMAN And SUICIDE SQUAD Take Over Social Media
Variety with ListenFirst Media have published the weekly results for the most talked about films on social media platforms, and DC Films seem to be taking over with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad...
Over the past few years, comic book movies have made their presence known in more ways than one. So, when a year like 2016 has about over half-dozen comic book movies set to be released, of course, these films would take over social media. According to Variety, DC Films have taken over social media as the most-anticipated and talked about movies of 2016. Variety has teamed up with ListenFirst Media to figure out which films are the most talked about. In order to get these results Variety and ListenFirst Media use Digital Audience Ratings (DAR), which measures what fans are talking about most across all major digital platforms. ListenFirst Media's DAR focuses on what films fans are talking about most through Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, YouTube and even Wikipedia.
As you can see below, Suicide Squad leads the top five, followed by Deadpool and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. There seems to be no sign of Captain America: Civil War, but that could possibly be due to the lack of noise heard from Marvel lately. Should Marvel release a trailer, it's most likely the film would take a spot amongst the top five and maybe dethrone the other CBMs. Let us know what you think in the comments section below!
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hits theaters March 25th, 2016.
Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before. Starring Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, with Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Diane Lane, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons, and Holly Hunter, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is directed by Zack Snyder, written by Chris Terrio from David S. Goyer's screenplay.
Suicide Squad hits theaters August 5, 2016.
It feels good to be bad… Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?
Suicide Squad stars Will Smith as Deadshot, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, with Raymond Olubawale as King Shark, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, and Adam Beach as Slipknot. Directed by David Ayer.
