Batman v. Superman is legit good, people hate on it too much because of a few pretty bad moments.  admittedly I fell into the hate trap when I first saw it but it's really grown on me (doomsday fight still sucks though)

 

I just can't with the third act. The title fight really isn't even any good, and Doomsday is the icing on top. The first two acts were intriguing enough for me but when the payoff is botched, it's already hard for me to give it much more than a passing grade at best (for its uber commitment to being the most Zack Snyder'y comic book film yet)

 

B...bb....but Batman fighting like Arkham games in the warehouse!

Glad to see Warner did not attempt an egregious fudge job to get the $100m headlines today. 

Just a lil fudge to get it above 95

You saw JL?

Didn't it suck?

[YM!]

I might rewatch the extended cut of BVS.

[WrathOfHan]

lmao, my grandma saw Wonder last night and had no grasp about it on Friday when talking to my mom  My mom said "Oh that's the one with Julia Roberts!" and my grandma was saying it wasn't  

[Ethan Hunt]

yeah BvS is two pretty solid acts and then a disaster of a third act

[CoolioD1]

me when the bvs quotes start.

my whole thing with bvs vs justice league is "say what you want about the tenets of zack snyder, dude, at least it's an ethos".

 

Goddammit, I said literally the same thing to @kowhite and @Jay Hollywood on the escalator last night -- except I was talking too fast and fucked up the quote.

Is there anywhere that breaks out US and Canada box office separately?  

 

Not exactly. But playbackonline.ca (I searched "Canadian box office") gives the top ten at the Canadian box office, but it posts results for the entire week not just the weekend and you have to wait about until the following Tuesday to see the results for the previous week ending Thursday.

 

So the results for JL's first week from Nov. 17-23 will be posted on about the 28th.

[YM!]

The third act ruined BVS for me.

Even with Tele's DC bias I didn't expect him to like JL at all after I saw it.  seems like something not even he can forgive.

So Rth was pretty close with his estimates. 

 

185m OS opening with Thor's legs gets it to 450-460m OS in the end (counting Japan). I doubt it has Thor's legs though because we have already seen more frontloadedness than Thor this weekend

 

Which means it must do 240-250 dom if it wants to cross 700m. That would require 2.5x-2.6x legs. Will be difficult but lets see how it does over thanksgiving. 

 

700 still in danger at this point

Over/under IT worldwide is the real question now! 

[Chewy]

The VERY FIRST TV SPOT for BvS was just that scene where Batfleck and Cavill shake hands and Eisenberg trolls them. The internet was so mad but I was beyond thrilled

Being on here a lot it's easy to forget that box office is a very niche area of expertise.

Is she with you? 

I thought she was with you.

 

..which weirdly makes no sense in the movie. (It's a funny line in the trailer).
