Because MoS beat both IM1 and 2 WW with 668 to both their 585 and 623. And considering that IM1 and 2 were incredibly close to one another as far as DOM, I'm not sure how you got IM2. Please read Alfred's quote in the post I quoted by Jessie and I'll even provide a screenshot of it for you too. "BvS is already a hit. Why failing to reach 350m or 1 billion considered a disappointment? Marvel's highest grossing film before TA was IM2." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Wow you guys, I just had to look at this page to figure out that this thread is just as awful as the yesterday one. WTF? Is the need to say the same shit again and again really that strong? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 14 minutes ago, redfirebird2008 said: Iron Man 2 (the movie Alfred was actually talking about) cost $200m to make and grossed $624m. That's a huge ass budget for a movie that wasn't exactly pushing a billion dollar gross. BvS will make $900m on the low end and cost $250m. In other words it had the better ratio of box office to budget: 3.6 at least for BvS compared to 3.12 for IM2. Yes but it wasted the novelty of bringing them together. How much more interest can JL create with the inevitably not so great WOM and after already having their big dogs in one movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackzack Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 8 minutes ago, FilmBuff said: Superhero fatigue is the biggest fallacy in Hollywood. Wish people would shaddup about it. And no, DCCU will NEVER catch up to the MCU. A better apt comparison of BvS is AOU, and AOU will outgross it by roughly 40%. This isn't even a discussion. BvS is barely TA1, how can it be compared to TA2? BvS is more like TA0.5 But seriously, if Warner/DC just sticks to Batman's conflict with Superman as the only plot, the movie will have more streamlined storyline and hence better reception. This race to beat the other guy, ironically the plot of the movie, actually kills the massive momentum set up by the teaser last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only point in responding to Jessie is that I have no problem with people piling on BvS, but let's stick to the facts. IM2 most certainly did have a huge budget and it was not as profitable as BvS will be. It's not as profitable as it could be if it was a much better movie, but it's still very profitable for WB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriel Sales Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Someone agrees that BvS will be the highest grossing film of DC? I see no other film of DC (Justice League 1 and 2, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, etc.) doing more than BvS. In short, the chance that DC had to make a film that has scooped more than 1 billion was wasted. In my opinion, if BvS was a good movie make easy 1.5 billion. Congratulations Zack Snyder! You should be arrested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumos Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Saw this film last night, and I'm pretty sure this is the worst superhero movie I have ever seen. I hope this film crashes and burns. Really rooting for a Deadpool>BvS DOM Total 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is whether they really want their DC Universe to be a superhero version of the Transformers franchise. I can't help but think they would rather see it play out in a different manner. It's within their power to produce better movies. Hopefully they will learn something from this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don'haven'tk comparing the two movies but not mentioning the significant difference in their Monday drops isn't misleading, I don't really know what to say. No need to say anything.

BvS will be one of WB's biggest films in history, it's a success for them. It's a sequel to MOS and a Batman reboot, 900 m to 1 billion is a win for WB. Bravo. A voice of reason.
