I kinda love how we're still beating down the same BVS / CW arguments again and again, just as another comic book movie is opening. Ah BOT never change. 

At least they're not talking about MOS's devestation.

I dont think numbers have come out for India yet. Where do you get the doing good part in india from?

I saw some people talking about sold out shows in India. Could just be that area though.

I'm trying to think of one that equals this and I'm drawing a blank

AOU was a big let down at the time.

 

Maybe Snakes on a Plane?

The only place it's doing really good is I think in Brazil and India. 

China is also doing well.

AoU > Avengers

Man if this number holds I could see the hardcore DC fans making a gif of a certain scene from this movie and replacing a face with the RT logo. They are going to be even more furious with critics and completely blame them for this.

I never thought a 93m opening could be so underwhelming.

[Hilts]

Ya if you told me this was opening below GOTG last week... good on you because that is crazy but that is what's happening! This is turning out quite similar to POTC Stranger Tides. I would have thought Thor's hold would have been stronger too considering the lower opening for JL but they must be cannibalising each other from opening so close.

 

Truly great numbers for Wonder, Lady Bird and Three Billboards which are looking at pretty tidy runs for the rest of the year

 

Unless there are any other successful OS territories like Brazil I think JL may only do $650-700M WW which is unbelievable for the line-up on-screen

 

Is it now possible this may miss $200M DOM???!!!

I am not sure if people agree with this but I find Civil War is likely marvels most divisive film lately?

 

 

Ask friends and family randomly... to it was stupid, to its marvels best really. 

 

Well it's the only thing that explains the legs.  Critics liked it more then auds.

[HenryjRhetorics]

I'm an MCU fan but boy, below 100 is just nuts.

 

The argument last summer was if it'll cross the 150m especially after Guardian's 146 OW and WW great leggy run.

 

Well, so much for that.

How did Bruce get back to Gotham?

If we're going by past superhero films then Superman Returns & Iron Man 2 (huge expectations), were both considered disappoints opening weekend. Those seem almost quaint now compared to Justice League though.

I predicted AOU's final total within like 20 million, its drop was expected based on history

 

This is... unexpected

 

And Snakes on a Plane was a meme not a movie

WB did itself in 2 ways. 

 

1: the godawful shitty marketing for JL. Part of the reason I was sitting in the theatre during previews thinking "please don't suck please don't suck please don't suck" was because the trailers, while fine (I guess) on their own, made it look like the movie would, well, suck. No hook other than "team-up!" which is becoming a "been there done that". A few good lines from Ezra Miller ain't gonna sell your movie, sorry WB.

 

2: Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman had something of their own; they looked like their own movies. This didn't feel like DCEU's "Justice League", this looked like BvS 2. And yea, BvS may not be the steaming pile of shit people say. It's bad, but it's not The Room or anything. And people aren't going to want to check out a part 2 for something that left a bad taste the last time. Unless there was a hook, and I guess there wasn't good enough of one.

 

 

Honestly, I hope this can save some face until Star Wars. Having this open the week before thanksgiving makes me pretty confident that this could do close to a 2.5 multiplier. 220-240M is where it should end up... I hope.

[eXtacy]

The most disappointing thing this weekend is Justice League may bring Thor 3 below a 300m domestic finish. That would suck.

[titanic2187]

i never thought JL could only be marginally higher than Logan.....

Yeah and the funny thing is no comic book movie has beaten it WW since...

 

 

 AOU

[Darth Lehnsherr]

Not sure what defense fanboys can muster for this disaster of an opening. Maybe they'll say Marvel has brainwashed audiences or they're too dumb to understand DC Films. 

[DAJK]

Also Wonder was fucking great. Loved it. Go see it really, this is Tremblay's rise to stardom beyond the inner movie fan circle who saw Room. This thing is gonna gross 120-150M domestic mark my words.

[Noctis]

If it does $90m-$93m...I'm expecting no more than $225m at best. I think $210m is where it'll land.

 

This movie is gonna end up doing no more than $650m worldwide. It won't crack the top 100 worldwide. Let that sink in for a moment.
