Not making $100+ million like they wanted.
DC said they wanted a $100+ million OW for Wonder Woman?
There are also people that say that Queen Elizabeth II. is a lizard person.
Who said that? Nobody sane would think that.
Yeah it's super unfair to blame that when it's really people turned off by DC, which is the reason I'm not seeing it. Fool me three times my butt is swore as fuck.
Why would you go three times?
It's different things. I don't care much for Iron Man 2, didn't care much for Doctor Strange (I still saw them though so I could have an opinion on it), yet I'm wanting to see Guardians of the Galaxy 2 as I like Rocket & Groot.
I'm seeing Wonder Woman as I have an interest in several things of her in previous stories and I want to know what they do with her first film. It's previews have all looked good to me so far from what I've seen too.

What a shit headline to feed trolls. Those numbers are on par with majority of Marvel movies.

Yup.
Can't just go out to see movies like that so I gotta choose carefully. Shit ends up being 30$ a head.

Uh no. If it makes those numbers, its OW would be lower than 10 out of 14 MCU movies and total gross would be lower than 9.

Movies are so expensive, I'm out unless the word of mouth is godly.

that would actually be better than I thought, assuming the division is 50/50 with foreign. However, I doubt that's the case (more US focus of WW, so 60-40 I'd say), so 400-500 at the end of its run seems within reason if this checks out.
Which really is better than I had honestly expected, but not a terrible amount either I suppose. We'll see what happens. I'm more interested in the drop after, considering how big the BvS one was, and that the weeks around that (Pirates and others) are fucking insane.
you mean like, actual creative vision? In a modern Hollywood blockbuster? Sir, I henceforth declare thee mad.

Pirates is really gonna bite a chunk out of it regardless of how good word of mouth is. It's foreign take is gonna be hit hard by that movie I think
500 is a solid number for this one tho. If they get that or more it's something that shouldn't be scoffed at for a wonder woman movie at all.

Anyone who says something along the lines of "WB is waiting to see how JL performs before moving forward with the DCEU" doesn't know what they're talking about.
The DCEU isn't going anywhere. There is no way WB execs are giving up replicating MCU's success.
At worst, the DCEU will become even more Batman-centric (like the DCAU is), and we'll have combined movies for other characters (not unlike Thor 3 with Hulk) instead of solo outings.

It sucks that it'll have the label of lowest opening DCEU film and all if this is true, but those estimates really aren't that bad in the grand scheme of things.

The worst thing about this movie potentially not making cash will be viewed by executives as 'female superheroes don't sell', especially after Ghost in the Shell did poorly even though the real reason will be that audiences have lost faith in DC's offerings.

I wonder if it can beat Maleficent...
I know! Thy heart, be still.

I'm looking at the IMAX calendar and PotC is the week before in the US and Mummy afterwards. If the movie sucks it won't be the friendly empty schedule like BvS or SS.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IMAX_DMR_films#2016
BvS: week before Divergent sequel, 3 weeks later Jungle Book
SS: week before Bourne, 4 weeks later Sully
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IMAX_DMR_films#2017
May 9th-May 16th will be Mummy and May 23rd will be Transformers. Literally zero room for error. They need PotC and Mummy to bomba because Transformers will clean up.
The most popular female superhero of all time, is shooting for Dr.Strange numbers......what a world.

$100m seems awfully low. That's lower than Ant-Man's budget. It certainly doesn't look cheap.

100 mil is pretty cheap for a superhero movie too, it looks gud

$100 mil opening I think would be pretty good for the movie if it ends up being a critical success.
A $105 - $115m OW would be pretty damn good actually.
Above that. And 105m/115m for a female superhero movie would be really great.
It would be one of the cheapest superhero movies of the past decade (and easily the cheapest of the MCU/DCEU movies). I think it's not unreasonable to assume the budget is underreported.
Heck, even that awful King Arthur movie supposedly has a $175m budget.
Here we go again
Says less about Wonder Woman's relative popularity and more about how the different universes have been received. Doctor Strange got a bump from the fact that people trust Marvel to deliver an entertaining movie.
Really hoping Wonder Woman starts to turn things around for DC, but more importantly for female heroes in general.

This is true, amazing how fuckery can quickly erode damn near a century of brand awareness

Watch Carol track higher
She's a well recognized brand but I wouldn't go so far as to call her "popular". At least not on the level of Batman, Spider-Man or Superman popular.
Watch Carol track higher
If Crappy Carol blows Wonder Woman out, I will laugh the saddest laugh ever.
Turns out Screenrant is full of shit. Official Studio projections are $65M, as per Deadline

Yeah, exactly. A 100+ million dollar domestic opening for WW would be a huge win no matter what.
Edit: lol at the post above. Nevermind my comments then.
I mean, no other heroes are really on that level either. She's certainly a hell of a lot more popular than any of the Avengers were before their solo movies.
In the middle of the comic book movie gold rush, and looking for numbers that was good 10 years ago?
Goddamn shame
Weird, The Wrap ran with the 100 million one as article notes

Sure, let's hope people don't go and see a new movie by a different director and different actors only because two other related films were "garbage movies".
They should go and see the 103# same Marvel movie instead. Cinematographic art of the highest order the whole lot.
Anyways, placing this against Pirates 5 is a guaranteed suicide. Good luck WB, you geniouses.
