The difference between Wonder Woman and Justice League and why the audience of one might not necessarily all be the audience of the other can be summed up in two gifs:

 

 

 

vs

 

 

 

They're pretty similar moves, but one is focused on the bad ass while the other is just focused on the ass.

 

 

I noticed that quite a few times too and it bugged me.   And I'm no SJW believe me.   I could see the female audience being turned off by all the upskirt stuff.

This opening should also put to rest this notion that throwing Wonder Woman in the mix will automatically mean something.

It must not matter at all if this opens where some are predicting.  Like...not at all.   I would expect a movie that is following bad WoM like BvS to open higher than 120m WITHOUT WW in the mix.    Also calls into question other movies where adding a character was supposed be a box office boost like Iron Man in SM:H and various characters in Captain America Civil War.    It is probably more about the audience being interested in the MOVIE...not the characters.   Every movie has a bunch of different characters.   I think we look at CBMs as if each one has a separate fan base that never overlap.   (The Avengers probably caused that)

$13m is a victory!!!!!

‘Justice League’ Powers To $13M Thursday Night – Friday AM Update

They did kill each other - Thor with only $2.4M - that's a big drop from Wednesday...

I dont wanna be a debbie downer but this doesn't seem that great for a movie of Justice League caliber

The most male gaze-y shots interestingly enough to me, were the ones where she was not in costume.

For a film that should've been an Avengers-style mega-event, the fact it's looking to make less on opening weekend than what that film made in its second weekend just goes to show how badly they botched it.

$40M Friday is what I'm expecting off that then.

 

Fri: $40M ($27M sans previews)

Sat: $34M 

Sun: $23M

 

OW: $97M

I agree with this. Let's not forget the extra hour can make a decent difference in the OD ratio

[redfirebird2008]

Down 53% from BvS preview number. Ouch. Going to be a rough Friday overall too, especially matinee shows compared to BvS. I saw BvS at 3 PM and theater was packed. Bible Belt on Good Friday = big time day at the movies.

Preview to OW multi of comparable movies and JL's OW if it has same multi. 

 

Avengers - 11 - 143

WW - 9.4 - 122

CA:TWS - 9.33 - 121

logan - 9.3 - 121

DS - 9 - 117

Gotg2 - 8.6 - 112

Thor 3 - 8.46 - 110

Gotg1 - 8.4 - 109

SMH - 7.6 - 99

CW - 7.16 - 93

AoU - 6.9 - 90

SS - 6.5 - 86

BvS - 6 - 78

 

Max I can see now is 110-112 which would be same multi as Thor 3/Gotg2. Both of these movies had lots of walk ups and had great reviews which JL doesnt. 100m or less is a possibility too

[That One Girl]

come on Lionsgate give me Wonder #'s

Justice League beating all expectations!

[YM!]

If you’d tell me that JL would be under Ragnarok I’d call you crazy.

[That One Girl]

The best comp that I have for Wonder is Miss Peregrine's 🤔

[eddyxx]

I just woke up. Holy shit. This might open sub 100m?

[MyMovieCanBeatUpYourMovie]

My immediate reaction coming out of BvS was that it was the worst superhero film of the last decade.

 

Seems some of its audience agreed with that assessment based on that JL number.

[YM!]

Where them Wonder numbers? $1M previews or bust.
