Justice League won't be as frontloaded as Batman v. Superman or Suicide Squad, which opened on Good Friday and an early August Friday, respectively. That being said, with where the preview-free Friday stands, there's a chance it could miss $90 million for the weekend. We'll see how today goes.

Thor and JL canibalized each other.Thor saturated the market...the audience did not want to spent their money on ANOTHER superhero movie,and one that is a follow up to BvS no less,but those who did want to go out and watch a superhero film chose the new release.

Batman V. Superman being so child unfriendly hurt Justice League.

this. I remember my aunt was annoyed because she brought her kids to watch it and the younger one was scared shitless.

This opening is the box office equivalent of ripping a loud fart in front of a large crowd.

JL has more competition than BvS did; Coco and TLJ are coming out soon. Could this have a worse multi than BvS?

If this somehow manages to go as low as 80M, 200M is in jeopardy  

Batman Begins Domestically > Justice League domestically. How about  Dunkirk > Justice League

Could JL go under 150m?

Is the $300 million budget for Justice League true?

 

That is super insane!! total budget could be close to $400 million if it's true. BvS cost $250 million. WB is overspending itself towards bankruptcy.

400m would be really small and that would make JL one of the most profitable movie of the year, big world release tentpole tend to go higher than that, Angel&Demon in 2009 total budget was almost 550m, Amazing Spider Man 2 total budget was around 580m

 

It is rare for a production budget to get has high has 50% of a movie total cost, the average is around 35%.

 

WB just had 3 really good year financially, including this one.

Yeah, also SS had the T-mobile shtick inflating the Friday. So dropped 41% on Sat. This is the first DCEU movie in November and should bit a little back loaded. (I think it will make it to low 90s ow if not more. Guessing 93-94.)

Impossible. That movie had an unheard of sub-2.0 multiplier for a $150M+ opener. Justice League at least has a holiday weekend coming up, and while WOM isn't great, it's not nearly as toxic as it was for that movie.

Worse multi than BvS is virtually impossible with the holiday season. 

 

2.4x is my guess. It can certainly go either way. But I don’t see something as bad as say 2.1/2.2

If SMH can thrive after 62% drop it's second weekend, Thor Ragnarok can survive a 65+% drop it's third weekend.

 

Especially with the holidays coming up.

 

I still think 320+ m DOM is on the table for Thor Ragnarok.

This weekend for Justice League is like the equivalent of Brazils 1-7 loss against Germany in the World Cup 2014. It just keeps getting worse and everyone laughs at it

Yeah, I previewed the movie before showing my kids and knew in the first 5 minutes with Supes going after the terrorist that it wasn't kid-friendly.

 

It doesn't really get kid-friendly until the goofy third act but by then it's far too late to retain the child audience going forward.

Ironically, Brazil is the only country where the movie is overperforming and breaking records.

[grey ghost]

Well people thought this would be a boring weekend if JL didn't either break out or flop.

 

We can confirm it won't be a boring weekend.

What?! Julia Roberts had been BO juggernaut 10+ years ago. Or you mean right now?

No one cares about star power from decades ago.
