A lot of movies came to this year's SDCC, but which of them received the most buzz online? The results are in, and depending on how much stock you put in these things, Comic-Con now has a winner...
If a studio pays big money for time in Hall H, you'd best believe that they want to leave the event knowing that the movies they've teased have generated a lot of buzz online. With very few studios outside of Marvel Studios and Warner Bros. making their presence felt this time, it was very much Marvel vs. DC this past weekend, and social media numbers point to there being a clear winner!
According to data compiled by ListenFirst Media (via Variety), Suicide Squad came out on top with a 548k score. The company uses metrics from social media, seach traffic, and Wikipedia views to come up with these numbers, checking them before the event in order to gauge the increase in interest.
The full list of results can be found by clicking below, but rounding out the top ten were movies like Wonder Woman (366k), Justice League (295k), Kong: Skull Island (109k), Doctor Strange (87k), and Spider-Man: Homecoming (79k). There's a big gap there between DC and Marvel, but on the TV side of things, Luke Cage had a 90k score while there was no mention of shows like The Flash! Game of Thrones meanwhile was way out in front with 163k followed closely behind by Mr. Robot with 152k.
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?
