All of that -- no matter how well staged -- gets pretty boring when I don't care about the characters. I didn't love the first one but at least it had the puppy angle. 

I felt that the world building was pretty interesting. Very graphic novel-like. And the sheer beating that Keanu Reeves takes made me root for him. I know he's invincible, but it didn't feel like it at times.

Although I dont see it missing 1b and 400 dom but it isnt beyond the realm of possibility that this misses out on those numbers if the reviews are bad again. JL will also face competition from Thor and late competition from TLJ, something which BVS didnt have to face. 

Thor should be more concerned with JL as its Two weeks before.

I really hated the world-verse. And I disliked the fact he had so much help. I've got hope for the third movie, since that's no longer the case.

Morpheus is gonna help Neo take on Smith in the next one though.

Back to WW, I saw Shawn tweeted that it's the first CBM in the modern era to have a majority of women for OW. 52% to 48%. Another feather in its cap.

Pretty remarkable. I think that kind of even split is a good sign for legs. Definitely has cross demo appeal and makes for a nice consensus date movie.

I'll say this for JL it won't have to face a Melissa McCarthy opener like BvS did 

Yes but it is facing this WONDER.

Wayy to miss the point kudos!!!!

BvS had no competition 2 weeks before much less a direct competition with 100m OW. But no you are right it will not affect JL even 1%

The setup for the third movie is so good. More 1v1 assassin fights sounds great.

The first thing JL has to be is a good movie and coherent movie.  But there are some positives right now. WW is a huge positive. Affleck's Batman was pretty well liked.  The Flash could be a minor draw. Aquaman is the "hot guy" everything I read about that movie is ladies going wild for him.  If this is a well made movie, paced well etc..  I think it can cross the billion mark. 

 

But remember,  it'll need about $1.5B to be profitable. 

 

Putting a lot of pressure on Whedon aren't you?

Although in fairness we want a big male share in a movie like this. Young boys need to be able to look up to strong women as role models as Emma Watson so often says.

Sure, but in terms of numbers more women saw GOTG2 opening weekend

50-50 sounds pretty desirable to me.

Coming from someone who liked Power Rangers move than JW2...kinda lose all credibility on the character front...

I think there's a chance the percentage skews back male in the next couple weeks. And as Jayhawk said, bodes well for being a date movie. 

[DAR]

Really JL should be able to hang around longer than BvS did.  Until TLJ comes around its only competion should be Coco

Oh, the PR characters were much better developed than JW, which basically relies on Keanu for 100% development.

My point is though the average CBM is obviously male skewed. We want it to get to the point where a female lead doesn't change the skew one way or another.
