Not sure but given BvS made $95M, I'd say $60-80M probably.

I'm sticking to my $16m previews and $54m OD predictions, but I love the film and I hope it has enough gas to make more domestically than Batman v Superman. Do I know how much the audiences will eat it up? Not sure, but I do love it and I want it to do well.

Not getting a CHina release. Thats going to affect OS numbers. What are the predictions now for that?

Still 500m+. France, South Korea, Russia, Sweden (the only ones we have ACTUAL number for till now) opened way above BvS and CW (the only exception is South Korea, where it outopened BvS by far, but is behind CW because that being a phenomenon). Australia and NZ apparently had the 2nd biggest OD of the year, behind only BvS.

DCU grades:

 

1. Man of Steel

2. Batman vs. Superman

3. Suicide Squad

 

 

The trend does not look good for Wonder Woman

Same as mine.

MoS was far and away better than BvS, imo. I didn't like it before but it's certainly grown on me.

 

I think you just lowered your expectations after BvS.

[Krissykins]

Looking forward to seeing Suicide Squad tonight. 

[James]

So how many hours till we get preview numbers?

Yup

Haven't seen Squad (might skip it in theaters. Not really feeling any hype) but yeah I'll take MoS over BvS every single time

[FlashMaster659]

Flixster score is at 74%. BvS started at 86%.

MOS is more a traditional superhero movie I can see why people prefer it, they only got bold with the ending which turned some people off. With BVS God Snyder gone all fanboy and made a dream movie for any DC fan. Suicide Squad is a mess, but I believe Ayer tried to make a crowd-pleasing movie while WB had another idea of how to please audiences and those conflicting ideas resulted in that mess, I hope to see the director's cut. It's not hard to make a movie that everyone will enjoy, you don't need an experienced director and Patty Jenkins can definitely pull it off. Will it be a remarkable or a forgettable movie, though?

How so?  You're saying a 16M preview would be low?  In what world.?

[a2k]

Without China 700M WW is a big win imo - 250 dom /450 os/700 ww (ie. keeping in mind increase in buzz in last month or two. else would have been happy with 600-650M WW). With China would have expected 250 dom/500 os/750 ww.

 

It is the wonderful marketing that turned things around. Otherwise in the beginning of the year the expectations were not that high.

 

On a 175M budget  - slightly below the budget of movies like APOC, TREK 3, TARZAN - the bar for success is lower than BVS or CW with their 250M odd budget and A-list expectations from the very beginning.

A 54M OD is pathetic Baumer, didn't you know? Especially for an original superhero movie about characters the GA doesn't know besides Harley and Joker.
