There were no Summer Olympics in 2010. It was 2008 and then 2012

Ahh you are correct. It was actually the World Cup.  Threw me for a loop because that was the first time I think we saw the World Cup actually have a big impact on the domestic BO.

This is definitely a strong opening all things considered (the poor reviews, the polarizing reception to Man of Steel, introducing a new Batman without a proper origin story less than half a decade after the most iconic version of the character said farewell), but yeah, I get the feeling WB wanted more.

It sounds like an excuse but what WB probably wants from this movie goes beyond its own box office numbers. We'll only know if BVS was really successful next year with Wonder Woman and Justice League.

[Chewy]

Do people think Justice League will increase from this? I'd be curious to hear some reasoning. Can't really think of a reason it would. I suppose if it were excellent...

I want to say it had around 20 million plus viewers so probably sizable not sure it should have been that big of an impact to estimates since the game aired pretty early

I hope Wonder Woman does great and Justice League drops big from BvS. That would send the correct message to WB IMHO.

If SS and WW are very well received it will boost JL a lot.

SS is like GotG. Not a lot of connections right now.

 

I hope WW gets good reviews and an epic mkt campaign. I feel that it can beat MoS in America.

[Sam]

Lol, so I guess it'll be too far to fudge it over 170M. Or maybe the  WB people just does not have the skills of Paramount.

 

Oh well, they got their record headlines all over yesterday so that should be enough.

[Jordanstine]

WB stocks went up this morning from the this weekend's news that BvS became their biggest opener of all time. This was before the actuals were announced. #WhyTheFudgingHappens

[Noctis]

 

Tough luck, Batman and Superman!

Needs to move I think, that summer is a clusterfuck

[MrPink]

Justice League could do better only if there's a significant turnaround in quality. Otherwise I could easily see flat or small drop

[filmlover]

A part of me actually wants Snyder to stay on Justice League just to see how it would all turn out. For certain, we would hear reports of some boos if he showed up at Comic-Con or wherever.

I can't imagine anybody looking forward to Justice League. How many times can WB/DC pull the same wool over people's eyes?

Green Lantern - fool me once, shame on you

MOS - fool me twice, shame on me

BvS - three strikes, you're out

Justice League - FOAD

 

Seriously, who would look forward to Justice League after those three attempted failures to start the DCEU? (With GL being so bad that they even retconned it out of the DCEU.)

 

They really think people are stupid enough to buy tickets to Justice League? Seriously, fuck off and die WB.

Slow down there Chief

[Dementeleus]

I'll see it (theoretically at least). It's just a movie.

Lmao, I hope that happens. I would laugh pretty hard.

Nope, right now that's probably getting 130/300 as long as BVS doesn't collapse.

No way in hell is WW opening anywhere near 165. Not a snowball's chance.
