Having the embargo end on the 28th is so stupid, should have been the 1st to build up hype leading up to early fan screenings and then let the WOM carry especially since WB is so uber confident
Its one of if not the most beloved comic book movies and most successful domestic dc grosser among dc/batman movies, its a fair question to ask how this movie stacks up
I read that Oppenheimer at 100 mil prod budget needs to make $400 mil to turn a profit and apparently it was the same for Venom 1 (100mil budget as well) so maybe Uncharted is truly at like 450m to make a profit?
Aquaman made over 1.1 billion after the flop that was Justice League, maybe bad feelings/lack of trust affects OW a little but if this movie is all its made out to be its gonna print money and all those bad feelings will be washed away
people showing up to the theaters to watch a movie after its OW is a better sign of whether they liked it than imdb which we know gets bombed all the time, i've seen movies with great audience scores/cinemascore that have shitty legs so clearly the general public didn't care about it as much as more hardcore movie fans did
BvS opened to 166m and TDKR would have done like 190-195m OW if not for aurora so yeah the batman doesn't have that kind of hype and nor should it be expected to, Homecoming did 117m OW, doing better than that would be amazing for the 1st reeves movie
Suicide Squad made almost 750m without china and had really good multipliers in most markets, even better DOM multiplier than Civil War and BvS and only about 80m short of the former domestically iirc
The Suicide Squad was a megaflop on the other hand
