I agree. Just limping over a billion considering the properties involved is somewhat disappointing. Nolan Batman by itself can get a billion. You'd think Batman and Superman together would get more.
It's not a disappointment, it's a failure.

People actually though this movie was going to bomb?
350mil domestic, 800mil worldwide is just barely meeting expectations.
Having a Batman v Superman movie essentially just run in place isn't what Warners was hoping for. They're not gonna lose their shirt on this, obviously, but the amount of noise and fury this film is spinning off while more or less just standing in the same spot Man of Steel stood? That's not good. It's not a failure. It's not disaster. But it's not really a victory, either.
Also, look at those Cloverfield holds! That's good stuff.
It's not a disappointment, it's a failure.

It's not a very positive result if it misses a billion considering the last two Batman movies both reached that milestone.
So...this means that more people attended Deadpool US opening weekend, right, seeing as though BvS did 40% of its opening gross in 3D?
We are getting dangerously close to jumping the shark in here
It's not a disappointment, it's a failure.
Try seeing a movie in the same theater where one of those shootings took place.At the theater right now to watch BvS. Starts in 15 minutes.
Is it weird that every time I go see a movie, I have a tiny panic attack ever since the Colorado theater shooting?

Agreed. I keep going back to MOS, but MOS had comp the next weekend with Monster uni 2 and WWZ. No way this does any more then 60%.
No, BvS sold about 4m more tickets than Deadpool:

(Not sure how well this is taking into account 3D vs 2D ticket prices though)
So that's it, then. We're really getting Zack Snyder's Justice League in 18 months and there's nothing we can do about it.

So is it possible the last Divergent movie just gets canceled or has filming already started?
Because they will have to slice the hell out of that budget to even have a hope of turning a profit on it. It will likely do even worse than this one
You didn't read the Age of Ultron box office threads last year? The shark has been jumped.
It did well, I'm sure WB is very relieved. That said it's not like an insanely impressive number either given what it could have been.
Snyder wasn't the problem. The writing was garbage. Terrio sucks.
Yes!!! I hope Batman v Superman ends up being superbly profitable.
I love Zack Snyder. I haven't seen Batman v Superman yet but I've loved almost all of Zack Snyder's movies. His visual style is almost unmatched (Watchmen is a 10/10 for me).
I just think it would be great for Zack Snyder to continue having a long and fruitful directing career and for this movie to just knock it out of the park in terms of sales. Just to stick it to all the people who were salivating over the potential schadenfreude regarding this movie.
"How does Zack Snyder keep getting work?"
"Could Zack Snyder be done????"
"Hah this trainwreck of the movie is simply hilarious"
"Look at that Rotten Tomato rating go!!!!"
"Fuck Zack Snyder! He killed my family, ran over my dog, he's personally funding Trump's entire campaign, and I'm pretty sure he is personally responsible for the Star War prequel trilogy!"
Attaboy WB, Zack Snyder.
I think there are plenty of directors that could take a BvS film to 1B WW. Snyder doesn't make it past JL.
So that's it, then. We're really getting Zack Snyder's Justice League in 18 months and there's nothing we can do about it.

With Batman vs Superman in the title and promise of some JL angle the actual film could have been two hours f them sitting chatting and Batman and Superman slapping each other playfully and it would have opened strong. Brand recognition and genre guaranteed strong opening and time f year guaranteed WB some records (nice to see it proven again, after Deadpool, that more of the year can be used productively that peak periods).
But... with the reviews and divisive feedback the true measure of the film is going to be 2nd weekend onwards and longer term how well next JL movie does.
Word of mouth is what is going to make or break Batman v Superman. Not reviews.
Word of mouth is reviews.
My point is that it depends where the review is coming from.
They go crazy over anything.See you guys after comic con when Zack Snyder unveils the teaser for Justice League and hall H goes crazy... completing the carnival of stupid.
Critics crying in the corner cause they over estimate their influence on IP focused industry
