Audience scores can't be trusted for this. DC fanboys are giving 6 stars and Marvel trolls are giving it the lowest rating.

Audience Score on RT is the lowest Ive seen for an atticipated big budget comic book movie on the day of release. 

My friend who manages a theater in my area said that there were two reactions to the film:

1). It's not as bad as the critics said it was.

2). Disappointment because the movie didn't live up to expectations. 

The average score for the film was a 6.5/10 in their survey. 

I think the biggest issue for the film is that it's been so hyped up for so long so when a person views it and it doesn't live up to their expectations then it's suddenly a terrible film. 

Lastly sales at his theater are equivalent to a $22M preview night. But he expects it to open up with more than that in terms of previews. He has it at $29M. He thinks Saturday and Sunday there will be significant drops.

Law of large numbers make this less relevant over the weekend.

In $AUD AOU opened to ~ $17m  w/e and JW$ 16m.  FF7 opened to 14.5. Deadpool to $14.84

Approx an 11 AUS to US ratio for AOU, 13 for JW,  and 10 for FF7 and 9 for DP

 

If BvS does $13-14.5m then  with the following ratios:

 

DP: $117 - $130.5

FF7: $130-145m

AOU: $143-$159m

JW:  $169-188.5m

what they are saying that BVS will have a higher weekend in australia than either AOU or JW did last year and a higher total than age of ultron guarenteed what is your point here

This is an agonizing wait for numbers.

These scores tend to be heavily biased for fanboy driven and fanboy hated films. Do we even know those people have really watched the film? The same thing with IMDB. And I say this for both sides. There will be those who will grade it 10/10 and those who will give it a 1/10. Sometimes I wonder, would the audience score be the same if there weren't any critic scores? I have seen some people who had given it a high score and eventually lowered it down a bit. Why? Because they saw the critics' score? They are shy that they loved a movie that is rotten on RT? I don't understand these people. They don't have a mind of their own. If you love it, you love it. If you are not sure what grade to give, then give yourself time to digest things first instead of going gaga over it and changing your score later on.

1.067m opening day in Hong Kong. #3 opening day of all time...only the 3rd film to gross more than 1m on opening day and it did it with ease against Zootopia opening and Kung Fu Panda 3's 2nd weekend.

WB and DC are going to make a shitload of money through merchandising. BO seems to matter to us more than them . They will be fine either way.

Deadline said the opening day was higher but DeeCee is saying his projection is 13-14.5 AUS $ which would not be higher - I gather because it's OD is the start of a holiday w/e so is somewhat inflated -  and those are the numbers I used in my ratio projections/comparisons.

yes it seems DCU will become the next TF Series, Low critic scores, polarized  reactions but make a ton of money.

I understand your logic. I do. But how come when a Marvel movie comes out, it's audience score doesn't drop either? They're all really high. Wouldn't DC trolls give those movies the lowest rating?

Instead of spend the whole day checking audience score and creating fake accounts to help lower it, go to the cinema and check the real reactions from audiences yourself, everybody is loving the movie.
