Or killing a child with his heat vision!
Cringed reading that thread title. Bravo
I'd say this is mostly incorrect. Superheroes are the exception where origin stories are needed to explain skill/power sets, especially for relatively unknown characters. Origin stories are why Science Bros can be a thing in Avengers. Why it's Capt parachuting down to help IM vs Thor. Why Cap's shield can deflect some obviously strong dude with lightning hammer strike. Why everyone is afraid of an unassuming Science Bro getting angry.
I'm confident there will be more pay off like that in Civil War. But sure, origin stories are not for a select few A List heroes who've had their origins told on the big screen multiple times already.

I really love Injustice...
Harley Quinn steals the show in that book for me though. "Ballerina Cars"... Really impressive for a story created just to help market a dumb fighting game.

Savage thread title!!!!
Zootopia grossed $1.40M on Monday. Down 70% from last Monday. Everything is crashing back down to earth now that spring break is over.
The $1.40M still holds up pretty well to Inside Out at the same point in its run ($1.58M) though. And Inside Out had summer weekdays working in its favour.

There are those who said this day would never come. What are they to say now?

Of course it will
I'm not really sure what Slayven meant by that. Amazing Spider-man 2's gross will easily be topped.

Looking like a 79% drop from last week for BvS. I don't even...
Easter Monday is a pseudo-holiday, plus spring break.
As I said above, even Zootopia is down 70%.
Dropping 78% from Sunday is pretty bad though.

Oh word, I thought we had the actuals already for Monday? Guess not

Yep. It's essentially the same drop as Spider-Man 3 got on its second Monday. And what I noticed is that its even a steeper drop than Zootopia, which means there's still a Spring Break factor (otherwise Zootopia should have dropped over 80%) so Friday increases will end up still being a bit muted. I would guess it is gearing up for at most a $22M weekend.
The race between BvS and Zootopia for first to $300M is going to be pretty close. I have Zootopia at ~$295M after this weekend. It's starting to look like BvS will have trouble matching/surpassing that.
If Zootopia can keep a $2M lead by Sunday, the race will drag out until the Apr 15th weekend, and who knows how that will play out with Jungle Book and two other major openers launching.

But what if, would be like living in an Elseword

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
We got Monday's results yet?
There's a growing chance that the first onscreen appearance of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman together in a single film will fail to top Guardians of the Galaxy domestically.

I thought it was on track for $900m or so?
It won't hit $900m, but he was talking domestic.
Kswis is talking about the US gross.

He's talking domestic. Which has been a boring stat post-Cameron movies tbh
It will crawl to 900 world wide which is pretty good but likely quite disappointing for WB
They prolly saw this as a 1.3-1.5 billion movie a year ago

Ah yeah, you're right. Completely tuned out the domestic part.
WB has 6 days to do something about Justice League before it starts shooting.
The clock is ticking.
I don't see BvS squeezing out another $220M WW to be honest

What if we see Civil War and Tony goes "UNDEROOS" and it's Superman

Superman destroys all of Germany and Cap gives up, agrees to Sokovia Accords
What a Twist.
And Cavill Superman turns out to be Bizarro

And then they reveal that Superman is actually Ultraman who's actually Sentry.

Would be cool if they just split up the universe. With batman/suicide squad as the bat verse and superman doing his own thing etc. The batman side of things looks the most salvageable anyways. The pieces are there for affleck to make the best comic movie in years
Fans would riot tho.

Or they do this one arc from Hickmann Avengers where the Illuminati destroyed the Fake Justice League

That only works if you use a classical Justice League and not Snyder's "DARKNESS!!! NO/BAD PARENTS!!!" interpretation...
Announcing 10 films off the strength of Man of Steel was always a dumb move from a fan backlash perspective.
Marvel/Disney at least made sure their stuff was profitable before going all out with announcements of 4+ years worth of future films.
Eh, by the time Deadpool 2 actually comes out, Batman v Superman is going to be a bit of a footnote. Supposedly we'll have had a Justice League movie by that point!
Lots of jokes about cinematic universes as a concept, though.
You know it'd be ballsy if WB threw in a quick self-deprecating jab in the Lego Batman Movie. I loved that the whole "darkness song" was a hilarious lampoon of the deathly serious Batman origin.
