The Hollywood Reporter journalists took an interview with the director of "Painting Birds: Awesome History Harley Queenn" Katie Yan. First of all, they were interested in the opinion of Yan about the cash collecting of the film. At the budget of $ 82 million at the present moment, the film gathered about 200 million. The result is quite average, especially for superhero film, which in recent years always shows good financial results.
According to journalists, the press was too promise to "predatory birds". His fees are ahead of the figures of such a film as "Ford against Ferrari", with a smaller budget. But since the latter is the original studio project, then he is forgiven a lot of what is criticized by the film of the film marvel. Katie Yan answered the question of double standards in the assessment of films:
The studio had very high expectations, and I, too. There were also certain expectations due to the fact that the film was shot by a director. And very disappointing the idea that, perhaps, we were not ready for this. The fact that I am a color-film director, imposed additional load of responsibility on me. And the success or failure of the film can be interpreted in different ways. Unfortunately, all very quickly came to a certain opinion regarding our film.
The low cash receipts and the coronavirus pandemic led to the fact that "birds of prey" came out in a digital form before the planned time.
