A Wancut on Netflix would be interesting.

As someone who spends a lot of time on the box office reddit I know that means nothing.  It is full of people making "crazy" predictions like that.  They make hordes of them, so when one comes true they can post a link to it saying everybody should believe them more.  This ignores they also said things like The Marvels will outgross the first one, Wish would crush Migration, Mario would bomb, and that Shazam 2 would make 800M worldwide.

The great screen writer William Goldman said it best when talking about the film business in general. Nobody Knows Nothing.

Now at $396.2M

 

Officially the highest grossing DCEU movie since Aquaman 1 in 2018.

If WB had given this the Flash treatment instead of unceremoniously dumping it...it might have broke even or even eked out a few bucks for them.

 

It's clear now that audiences respond to water.

At least it’s not going to end up anywhere near the biggest flops of 2023.

Is 450 or 500 million possible?

450 is highly pushing it, but it is possible.  It is incredibly unlikely, but I remember when word here was 200M was impossible.  Then it was 300M was impossible.  Then 350M was impossible.  Then 400M was impossible.  

 

Honestly at this stage it making 20 trillion dollars would no longer surprise me.

The DOM/OS split will have to be like 10/90 from now to hit 450

There was so much lost potential in this film. Even overseas. I saw it with a practically empty cinema first weekend in the UK. That split is money left on the table.

Everyone knows that DCEU is dead. Didn't help that 2023 was THE YEAR general audiences decided to just give up on superhero films, with 2 exceptions.

True but there were definent signs of it in 2022 with the MCU films underperforming.
