They can't delay JL, IMO. The cast is gigantic, they just can't push the shooting 3 months back. Part of them probably would have to leave the project. 

 

I think Affleck is the only who's schedule might be a problem.  I don't see anything big on the horizon for Cavill or Gadot and with such a long shoot they can move scheduling around for actors with smaller roles.

In about an hour or less the real numbers will come out and we will spend another 10-15 pages analyzing them. And it's only Saturday morning!

Remember when people accused me of being a troll over a month ago when I was thinking a 140-160m OW because there was no way it was getting close to that low?  Lol, okay.

But the also can't afford to keep a director who will barely get them a profit for this.... there's no way the Justice League will generate the amount of buzz BvS got with Snyder in charge.

I think they have a GIANT problem on their hands.

[aliadiere29]

Anywhere between 150m to 160m is a bit of a concerning number. Over 170m would have been good.... but 155m is a bit of a disappointing number, and I just can't see it getting close to 400m if it does that number.

[Krissykins]

$160m was my prediction too.

At least its not a GIANT SLAYER problem.

[WrathOfHan]

In it's current state, I expect a more frontloaded version of MOS numbers for Justice League.

No way.  If anything, Affleck comes out of this thing clean with nearly everyone saying he was the best thing about the movie and would rather have him direct or can't wait to see him direct the stand alone version of Batman.  

 

I am glad that he took this on because Warner Bros. basically told him he can get the budget and direct a number of other projects like Live By Night whenever he wants to.  

 

Exactly, I don't feel bad for Affleck at all. At least he still has a career even if this movie tanks. The person I feel bad for is Cavill. He seems like a really nice guy and if this movie does tank what are his prospects going forward? It's not like he has projects lined up for him. Snyder did him no favors making Superman a mopey mute that barely spoke. Cavill never got a chance to show his acting chops at all. Put MOS and BvS together and you have 5 hours total that feature 5 minutes of Clark Kent? That's a damn shame.

People wants this fail so bad lol

It's amazing, isn't it? I don't read this much negativity in other superhero movies. Spiderman, iron man, avengers, Captain America, etc. 

 

I don't this hatred they have towards Superman or Batman. But it's more Superman than any other. 

 

They just can't accept or hate his powers. They consider them "bored" 

 

Or maybe it's Batman and his toys. 

 

I don't know

Note: If Weekend is around 160 million it would have sold as many tickets as Fast 7. 

 

 

Vin Diesel His power!

Without someone dying and a hit song?

 

 

This was supposed to be a joke, but I'll admit, it's in bad taste. Apols.

I find it difficult to say that Afflack was any more than decent in the movie

I don't even think it's that. I think people want something to talk about. Like with Deadpool people were just shocked at its numbers and it gave them something to talk about. Same with Zootopia. If BvS opens in its normal range it leave us with: okay predictions are correct. And since BvS doesn't look like it's going to exceed expectations people want it to hit lower so they can keep talking about what went wrong and what changes need to be made etc. 

*There are some folks who want to see it fail and have openly said that as well.

Does Cavill have any acting chops to show off?

You must not have been around when TASM2 got the same reaction as BvS and it was much deserved. 

[TalismanRing]

I love Superman and I've never found him boring.  I've enjoyed countless TV shows, animated series & movies and comics with him.  Hell, I've even enjoyed Superman fan fiction FFS.   But Snyder's version?  I dislike and find deadly dull because I don't think he likes Superman.

I'm just hoping the Saturday and Sunday drops are strong, because under 150m would be very concerning.
