I just don't understand who is delusional enough to think that this won't cross 800M worldwide (besides iJack). It's going to make $$$$$$ internationally. The only question is how much is it going to make in the North America region.
You don't have to do all of that. Just look at his face at all the premieres. They're mostly blank and empty stares. He knows it's not the best film that could have been put out there because he understands the directing process.
Exactly. $165M isn't a bad number but it's not making me fall out of my chair saying "OMG!!" But that's because I'm fully analyzing the situation that BVS is in. This isn't some low-key movie. They've been hyping this thing up for a very long time and when some tickets cost north of $20, sorry I'm not freaking out over a movie containing both Batman and Superman opening at $165M.
So after seeing Zootopia's expected drop, I was curious to see how high Deadpool's drop would be and using Deadline's numbers it would be 43%. I thought it would be in the 60s but according to Deadline nope. I just thought with all the hype surrounding BvS that it would kill the other movie in the same genre.
The latter two haven't even come out yet. For all you know they could be "fun but dumb," as well. Deadpool so far is the best in terms of critical and audience reception.
