Exactly. The fact that adults fighting over who’s characters in spandex and tights is better is ridiculous. They’re so much more films out there and way more better stuff to do in life.

I got this from an animation blog.
Which helps prove my point. CW acted like a pseudo Avengers. I still think $400M+ is happening (practically a lock), I even think IW will have a $200M+ OW but I don’t think $500M is possible, I think sub $400M is more likely due to a lower ceiling.
Look I’m sticking with my $210M/$450M/$1.3B prediction but CW which was marketed as Avengers 2.5. barely doing $400M and having to know 8 films in advance might make accessibility hard. I’m not saying it’ll happen or is even likely, I’m saying there’s a small chance. A very small chance.
The fact that audiences are going for solo movies (or smaller teamups) rather than the big ensemble team-ups (however JL was faced with a plethora of problems) and that the ceiling for Avengers movies domestically seem to be shrinking.
I am still thinking $210M/$450M but I can see a very small chance (5%) it goes under $400M.
