For sure. Could hit 400M.

That is a lock really. Even if it decreases on Sat a bit which won't happen OS, it would still hit 400m.

I'm joking

 

I know, I know.

 

Btw, WB's highest grossing film, WW-wise.....is still Harry Potter: DH2. Looks like it's gonna take a mega blockbuster in the future from WB to top Potter.

If the franchises start at a high mark it makes sense, but Divergent was never a box office behemoth, making the split decision more stupid.

[grey ghost]

Top 3 Zack Snyder flicks...

 

1) Dawn of the Dead

2) 300

3) MOS (I guess)

 

I haven't seen BvS or the owl movie.

 

[kayumanggi]

Wait, 89 M on Friday alone?

What other Snyder movie with owls?

 

Legends of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'hoole is the only one.

Watchmen? Old and new Night Owl? ;o)

lol That 300 M worldwide opening figure some sites kept mentioning looks laughable now.

So basically, this will most likely end up with around 370M Domestic, which isn't a bad start I suppose, but for being WB's version of The AVENGERS, It's a pretty lackluster start to their franchise and certainly not MARVEL.. One would have to imagine of George Miller Directed this movie, then did JUSTICE LEAGUE, how that would've fared compared to Zack Snyder???

 

After the awful reviews it's had, WB will take any good news at the moment.

More times than not (actually most) it's more profitable to shoot two movies as one & then just reap the profits for these big blockbusters agree?

We all know when that's gonna happen 

 

[grey ghost]

An artistic George Miller Justice League movie would probably get 10 Oscars.

 

But it would frighten the masses and make only 750 m WW.

Oh.....that one character, eh?

[Lordmandeep]

1 billion was going to happen I think it could challenge tdkr ww to based on legs overseas.

 

 

Undoubtedly as I expected both supporter and detractors of the films have things to get from the film to support arguments.

 

Will be source of a ton of flame wars for sure this summer ...

FOX was smart with The Maze Runner franchise. Lionsgate should have followed the FOX route. I still think they did this on purpose. They sabotaged their own franchise. Moved forward with the two part finale (changing the titles instead lol), took out 3D, released it one week before BvS and made a really bad marketing campaign. All this after Insurgent had decreased DOM even with the 3D.

 

And you don't know the best thing yet: Allegiant

Spoiler

covers the whole book. There is nothing left to adapt. But the cliffhanger is there lol, the next one if it ever gets made it will be all made up lmao.

Divergent 3 proved studios can't always double their money splitting the finale in two.

It is a flop. Snyder will get fired. Burn DC to the ground  

 

Now seriously, if this reaches 1B WW Snyder will become DC's Michael Bay. 

Are you serious ? Warner wasn't happy with the almost 700 million $ that MOS made and they will be dancing because a movie with batman, superman, WW and more will make a billion ? Snyder is nowhere near Michael bay and BvS won't be considered a huge hit, just like MOS .

For mega blockbusters it's really a no brainer.

 

Deathly Hallows 1&2     2,3 billion WW

Breaking Dawn 1&2      1,5 b.

Mockingjay 1&2            1,4 b.

 

But for smaller stuff it can backfire big time

But in this case they didn't shoot them back to back. They spent 110M in Allegiant. Ascendant was meant to be filmed this Summer.
