It was DC who paid off the critics all along
I agree. Deserved much more from the reviews imo.

Is there an Alexander Luthor gif from the end of the movie yet? This thread...it just calls for it.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
This thread has been a better viewing experience than BvS

170 million is pretty good, they're only 80 million from breaking even.

How much is it going to make after this weekend? I keep hearing 450-500 worldwide.
Nah. about 3-400M for breaking even WW.

Man, the defense of this movie and tunneled "fuck the critics" narrative is eerily similar to the typical reaction to the Twilight movies.
The last of which had a 69.1% second weekend drop.

Different demos tho. BVS reaches a more wider audience.
Sleepwalk was the wrong word to use. I think it's guaranteed to hit a billion, but yeah, probably won't pass TDKR, which has to be disappointing to WB.

I think Alice being in 3D soon after Avatar boosted it quite a bit.
I never heard of anybody actually liking Alice.

Marginally. Both movies had around the same under/over 25 split, but Breaking Dawn 2's audience was more female (79%) than BvS's was male (66%).

I guess this sums up the fanbase then...
Just to be clear I'm just poking fun at this point.
How about the fact that all post-T2 Terminator films have the same cinemascore as Fury Road then

Whatever. This will do more dom and overseas then twilight's.
What if Snyder was given Ant-Man or something else just as obscure? Could he make it a hit? There are few directors, I suspect, that couldn't make 'Batman vs Superman' a commercial success.
Weren't Sucker Punch and Legend of the Guardians flops?
Holy shit! Another fascinating post kswiston, as always.
Anecdotally this has been my experience too.
He's alright but it's clear that they could be selling way better if the films were actually GOOD.
His Superman movie did less than Guardians of the Galaxy. Take that in for a moment.

Well, it certainly helps when you're directing a film featuring two of the most popular superheroes in comic book history.
Or are we also going to say that 50 Shades of Grey did exceedingly well because of the impeccable directing talents and popular acclaim of Sam Taylor-Johnson.
Make that moola BvS. Movie may not be the best, but that fucking Wonder Woman theme booooooooooys holy fucking shit.
800m is a lock now which is all we really needed to avoid disaster. I still wish we could have someone else write and direct JL but I guess he will have to do. At least we will always get more Hans.
Lets get it.

You pull those off a list with fucking Transformers: Age of Extinction, Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace! pulling As?

Yea, Drive and The Royal Tenenbaums both have a C-. The audience isn't always right but when audience and critics both say a movie isn't that great there is usually something to it.

The Phantom Menace got retconned by people into being a good movie after TFA, and we've all accepted that Hasbro execs sacrificed their first-borns to the devil to get people to blindly line up for Transformers movies year after year despite their quality.
I hope we dont.

Of course I wouldn't want the film to fail, but I am sort of rooting for it to reach just under WB's expectations, just so we can get Snyder off the projects moving forward and hope that pushes Affleck to star/direct the next batman and possibly have him have a bit more influence on the DC universe.
Man Nolan must be an awful director, both GotG and Deadpool made more money than BB and that has freaking batman in it.
Or
Russos must be awful directors when their Captain America sequel will finish around the same or with less money earned than Deadpool or GotG. And thats with the Avengers bump for cap.

First post on anything BvS related. Out of all the threads I've lurked, the ppl going "lolz fuck the critics, this(OW) proves them wrong" seem to be missing the point, along with misreading the RT percentage. The OW was going to be massive no matter how bad it was, even if audience didn't like it either.
Has it been confirmed Affleck will be sole director of the Batman movie? That is what I'm really looking forward to. Also Snyder won't have his hands on The Flash movie either right?

Affleck pretty much confirmed the rumors that he and Geoff Johns are writing the solo Batman movie.
1. Begins was fighting off the stench that was Batman and Robin. Also, the comic book movie industry has changed drastically since 2005.
2. Different expectations for Captain America than there are for Batman or Superman, let alone both in the same film
There is no chance WB is happy with the new Batman movie doing less than the last one. You have to blame someone for that.
Snyder actually has a pretty unimpressive track record for the BO. BvS was going to open big no matter who directed it.

I suppose that's true. I mean, if the film was actually good I'd pay money to watch it... and I'm not. So they've lost one sale.
But I'm insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
I was the biggest Transformers fan you could find growing up and I still haven't watched the last two films (and had to get dragged kicking and screaming to the second one).

I'm still amazed WB didn't give Snyder the boot after Watchmen severely disappointed and then Sucker Punch bombed.
But, I guess if the Wachowskis continue to make bomb after bomb for them, it's not that far fetched.

Story goes, of the prospects to direct MoS in 2010, all but Snyder passed. A Superman film needed to be made to secure the rights.

It's possible. They're estimating a 27.7% drop, which is on par with Furious 7's Easter drop, so certainly not unreasonable. Typically, Easter sees far worse declines than that, but this is no ordinary opening. Also, it's worth noting Spider-Man 3 had a 22% drop on Sunday, so a strong Sunday is not necessarily correlated to WOM when your opening is at this level.
