DC movies seriously needs to build their overseas reputation. Most big hollywood blockbusters do pretty damn well internationally, I'm not saying WW isn't doing well but it could do alot better.

 

Wonder Woman was released between POTC5 and The Mummy. It turned out fine domestically, but being so close to two blockbusters (especially Pirates, but Tom Cruise did extremely well in a few major countries) hurt its numbers overseas.

I hope they take the release date into consideration for the sequel so it can fully maximize it's international box office and there aren't any major blockbusters releasing around it overseas during that time.

$32M for Mummy is actually pretty good considering the weak pre-sales/buzz, horrible reviews, and strong competition from Wonder Woman. I hope it passes $100M domestic and end up just like I hoped: bad enough to not do any harm to WW, but good enough to not get the Dark Universe cancelled, because it's a very interesting concept. 

You do know that Warners has almost exactly the same concept with it's Kong/Toho franchise?

Except a secret scientific organization fighting monsters works a lot better with King Kong, The Big G, and company then it does for Frankenstein, Wolfman, Drac, etc.

 

32M for a movie meant to launch a multi franchise universe is Not Good.

Really great holds so far, WOM is pretty solid.

Captain Marvel or Batgirl (which should be officially announced soon).

Currently scheduled to be Captain Marvel, but I won't be surprised if it is closely either preceded or followed by one of Silver Sable/Black Cat, Gotham City Sirens or Batgirl. We may see 3 female superhero movies in 2019.

Expected Weekend, no surprises. I honestly wish the Mummy did under 30 though 

 

How about the unexpected 45% ease for Wonder Woman. i.e. the big headline? 

[GiantCALBears]

Brie Larson is ready to be a BO star, excited for that one.

"I had six films in my Marvel contract, so I could have said after the third Avengers I was done, but they wanted to make the third and fourth Avengers films as a two-parter.  They said they had so many other characters to fit in – Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, Ant Man – and couldn’t get them all into one movie.  [I agreed] because it made sense. It’s going to wrap everything up."

That Avengers 2nd weekend hold is still something else, maybe as impressive as the OW.

Those 2 are more ensemble movies and should be compared to more Avengers movies and the like. If we look at Man of Steel and WW then it should be compared more to solo origin films such as GoTG 1, Ant-Man, Iron Man, Doc Strange etc...

Yeah, but even then both MoS and WW have very specific reasons for their box office performances. MoS made $63mil in China, which is decent considering that country has no background with Superman unlike places like the US who were exposed to things like the Donner movies. And as for WW and China, as I said earlier it's completely due to the female lead.

 

When MoS came out in 2013 there were four comic book movies - MoS, IM3, T:TDW and The Wolverine. The only one that MoS didn't outpreform in China was IM3. The DCEU movies tend to preform fine worldwide and tend to overpreform in Spanish and Portugese speaking countries. It's really just China, where they've preformed just decently instead of having a breakout.
