@mattypaul87 Why make back "some" money, have another flop in a line of what you know are going to be flops when you can write it off and get all the money back without another embarrassing flop. It wasn't sold yet for distribution, the CW show was horrible and would be what people would look at coming up to it, the directors and writer had no successes to their names, etc. 61% is bad and any movie not already under distribution contracts would get this treatment. It's just rare for a movie to be that far along without those contracts. Edit: The CW show was from different owners. Zaslav ended the CW when he bought WB. You're trying to act like two different owners are the same.

@albertosillywhips7281 They didn't eat hundreds of millions. It didn't cost that to begin with and they got back what they spent in tax write offs that they could then allocate to a different project.

@franciscodanconia4324 They couldn't can those movies because they'd already been sold for distribution and were under contracts. This movie wasn't and that's why it got pulled. I have no doubt they would have loved to do the same thing to Flash, but it already had contracts attached when they purchased the studio. Birds of Prey was released before they bought it so it's a bit disingenuous to use its test screening scores in comparison with this one when it was two different owners making the decisions.
