Only downside to those code charts, Kswiss, is they don't display fully on mobile. I see more columns in landscape compared to portrait, but still missing columns.

Oh, cool! Thanks for that.
They were willing to also push Justice League's release back for him while he dealt with his family situation and extended a first look deal with him. That's not the actions of a studio that has soured on him.
It's ok that he omitted a mediocre movie.Kswiss, you have Judge Dredd on that chart but not DREDD!?!?!
I know its low gross comparative to the average on release year might drop it out of top 100, but cmon, man!
Then what's Judge Dredd?

Judge Dredd is as much a superhero as Snyder's Batman.

In the context of his world, Dredd is a superhero.

X-Men in general bounce between genuine superheroes and a Mutant Rights Militia depending on the writer & status quo.
But the "take" numbers are completely incorrect, no? The splits are wrong
Still salty it beat Star Trek. xD

All I'm questioning is the inclusion of John Carter in that list. That just seems...wrong.
And The Long Ranger too?
Thankfully, Sky High made it, so the greatest superhero of all time, Kurt Russell (and mustache, but that came later), is paid his dues.
And of course, Brian Blessed in a movie also featuring some guy named Flash. pff, poser.
I too however, would argue Dredd is a superhero, or perhaps John Spartan should be. He's kind of a Demolition Man though, shredding those knitting competitions.

Wow. That is an incredibly low drop.
Deadline weren't too far off after all. Incredible hold.

700 here we come!
The recent film John Carter and film Tarzan are roided out motherfuckers fighting injustice with loads of shirtless scenes.
They're literature turned into superhero films.
Last weekend I thought it could do a <50% drop given the early signs of legs, but this weekend really was a bonkers hold. Kinda amazing that Deadline's prediction was about right in the end.
WW just set the bar for best superhero hold, didn't it?
I think it's still Spiderman 1.
Spider-Man dropped 37.8%
Thanks. So, the best superhero hold since 2002.

WW's international is a bit weak, isn't it?

From twitter, only films since MCU
The MCU didn't start with Iron Man 1? And it didn't include Captain America 1, but did include Thor 1? I'm confused.
Ha should edit the post
Someone corrected me and noted it's since 2010
Apparently 5th smallest drop ever for a 100+ opener

Did the 2nd weekend actuals came in higher than the estimates or not?

Shrek 2 was such a fucking monster. Once upon a time it was the 3rd highest grossing US film of all time.
TFA was absurd. I know it was released in December​, but it had an OW close to $250m.
Production troubles often leads to a terrible movie, but it isn't a foregone conclusion. X-Men First Class was also rumored to be a disaster, and you can kinda tell, but the end product was fairly well liked.
And who lived there? Trump and Giuliani. Checkmate atheists.
TFA's $540m domestic in 10 days is always going to be the craziest box office run ever to me.
Every time I catch a glimpse of it's domestic total I'm still amazed, that thing was pulling in crazy numbers day after day.

Geoff Johns is gonna takeover the DCEU going forward.
There was no production troubles. Someone was making shit up. Patty talked about it in an interview. She didn't understand what the production trouble was.

I still love checking the box office records on IMDB and Mojo. #1 like all the way down.
It was more cultural revelation than film. People can give JJ shit all they want but he stuck the landing on the most important film release in modern history.
It is, but it's doing crazy things domestically (where companies earn the most money on films) and that - coupled with the insane reviews heading into JL - no doubt has WB thrilled.
Xmas and Dec 26th are two of the biggest movie days of the year, so TFA basically had the perfect second weekend, timing-wise.
