Browsing Fandango this evening, to get an idea on how my local megaplex is doing.
It has Civil War playing on 12 (out of 23) screens, in various formats. Most showings are selling out 15-30 minutes prior to showtime. This theater had few earlly sellouts for BvS. Some for Deadpool.

This thread is already making me go for the whiskey and ibuprofen, and it's only 4pm Friday.

Yeah I know, I'm just pointing out the use of word of Avenger in the poster.
Only one country (Germany) is using "The First Avenger" or any variation of Avenger on the poster.

Hope you don't see this as spamming, but I really do think those interested in the MCU, and it's behind-the-scene's aspects will find this entertaining:

I was ofc exaggerating with the 2B to make my point how far some ppl will go here to make their argument win
But they would invent another number just to trash it.So your argument is:
DC's largest film ever is beating second tier Marvel films
DC's largest film ever losing to TDK and TDKR means nothing because both those films have excuses for crossing 1B
DC's largest film ever under-performing compared to studio expectations is meaningless
DC's largest film ever making only 900m is ok because the success line was 1b instead of 2b.
Am I getting you wrong anywhere?

How am I lying if I'm stating facts?
If BvS passed 1B ppl like you would set another bar saying "Oh, it didn't pass 2B - it's a flop"If BvS passed 1b, it would have been at the very least a moderate success. But it didn't, which is why we are discussing it's disappointment.
Suggesting we would consider 2b, a bar only 3 films have ever passed, to be a benchmark of success, is ludicrous. In fact, I now feel stupider for having retyped your suggestion. Thank you.

Will BvS make $800-$900 million WW? Yes.
Is that a lot of money? Yes
Should BvS have made much more? Yes
DC's top three characters will make less money than the last two solo Batman films.
BvS defenders, try to put a positive spin on that.

I think it crossed 700 million today so.....
That's adorable. Talk to me when it ends it's run below 900m when Warner Bros needed it to cross 1b.

I think the reviews are definitely responsible for these numbers. Colleagues of mine mentioned they were definitely interested in seeing the movie, but not in the cinema because they read it was a bad movie..
Bad movie = bad reviews = people won't see it.
Is this breaking news to anyone?

Exactly. DCU started off strongly box office wise with mediocre movies. They will gain dominance once they produce quality films. SS can easily do GotG numbers and JLA will possibly improve over BvS hitting 1 billion. Also have a juggernaut on the horizon with a solo Batman film. Marvel really need Spidey to return to form in order to compete with DCU after the Infinity War double.
So you're telling me that Marvel, who has been immensely successful in launching franchise after franchise, should be worried about competing in the future with DC, whose biggest film is turning into a disappointment?
Logic checks out.

I was a fan of Chloe with the first Kick-Ass, but she hasn't done much since outside of Let Me In. I'm looking forward to seeing how she does in Neighbors 2 though.

If any of you guys are interested, I made a video detailing the critical and commercial shortcomings of BvS, and what it could mean for the future of DC films:

The movie will likely make 100-200 million less because of critics reviews but it will make more than 800 because it's better than 5/10
And Warner Bros most certainly were expecting that extra 100-200 million.

This is a weekend film. Teens and young adults give it an A rating.
Where'd you get that rating from?

Yeah.... breaking your own in-house records might be good for morale, but once you compare it to expectations and competition, it becomes meaningless.
Biggest WB OW outside of Summer
I'll give you that
Biggest OW All Time in Brazil and other countries
And legs will drop like a rock there also
Biggest Global OW
Because Marvel films have staged releases, UK/Europe one week earlier than America, and China later. If Marvel had a global release weekend like BvS for the Avengers films, you do the math. I'm not saying the overall number isn't impressive, because it is, but with the amount of territories having the film that opening weekend.... it should have been higher for the event Warner Bros wanted it to be.
Is it enough to you or you want more?

This has to be considered a (minor) failure for Warner Bros. Yes, it will still be profitable, but consider the marketing campaign. I don't care about the costs, just the sheer scale of it:
3 full Comic-Cons basically dedicated just to this,
2 years of social marketing, with the Batman/Batmobile and other teases happening as early as May 2014,
A full year of marketing, with an almost unprecedented four full trailers,
All of the partners they had spreading the good word, and boy there were plenty. BvS was all over the place.
And the appeal of having DC's main three heroes in a single film for the first time,
... for the film to be (potentially) sinking like a rock, after that front-loaded first 48 hours, is awful.
Maybe Warner Bros was banking on China. Well, I heard it busted over there.
Zack Snyder needs to be removed.

Regarding the Deadpool PG-13/R box office potential... Much of the appeal of the film is how it's blatantly hard R. If it was PG-13, sure you open up the potential audience, but you sacrifice the movie's core appeal, which I think in the case of Deadpool would hurt the film in the box office.
