The November slugfest between Marvel Studios' Thor: Ragnarok and Warner Bros.' DC film Justice League is bigger than just the box office. It's a fight for comic supremacy.

On the Warners/DC side, the mood is about as jovial as a party thrown by the Joker. While Ragnarok is just the latest in a string of film hits for the Kevin Feige-led Marvel Studios, Warner Bros. is desperately hoping to continue the momentum from its first big success, this summer's Wonder Woman ($821 million worldwide).

"If a B character from Marvel shut downs and outperforms the A team from DC, that's an embarrassment," a Justice League source The Hollywood Reporter."It's going to be a stressful weekend for some [Warners] execs."

even as someone that likes MoS, WW and JL, they only have themselves to blame.

No shit. After that Thursday preview that was under Thor 3 (let alone BvS or Suicide Squad) the chances of it beating Thor 3 are effectively zero.

Heads are going to roll at WB over this films performance.

Hell, it'll get beat by Guardians 2 as well if that's the case.

If they do end this DCEU, I hope they keep Gadot on as WW for any future films.

The fact that a Thor movie has a chance to outperform a Justice League movie is astounding. Tell that to anyone 15 years ago and they would laugh you out of the building.

Lol there was no chance of that happening. The new Thor smashed expectations critically and JL was about what everybody expected.

It's not surprising at all. Ragnarok is in the top tier of MCU entries and DC has just one movie that comes close to that high end. People know what to expect from Justice League after Man of Steel and BvS. It was such a huge mistake to build a franchise out of Snyder's world.

Problem with DC is that they have no vision for the universe. They just try to play catch-up to marvel and it shows.

I saw it and i preferred BvS extended. But there are some good scenes in the movie. Its ok at best.

Does anyone have the original source link to the Hollywood reporter article. Not saying it isn't true, but this is Comicbook.com. known for clickbait

Damn, even lower than SS? I thought Wonder Woman was gonna carry but I guess not. Time to hire Patty to direct JL2 so they can put "BY THE DIRECTOR OF WONDER WOMAN" in big ass font on the poster.

Now I'm really hoping that Thor massively outperforms JL, so that WB can end this shitty universe and reboot it with actual competent people heading it up(rather than Zack Snyder).

I mean it's Thor and the Hulk.

I don't feel bad for Warner though. They have the stronger IP it was their battle to lose.

MUCH lower than SS.

SS had a Thurs total of 20 mil, this has 14. SS opened over 130 mil. This will be lucky to do 110 mil.

Screw you WB. Seriously, screw you. You cut the movies, you messed up the scripts, you chose the wrong directors. You're responsible for all this damn mess.

It must suck that a Justice League film can't beat freakin Thor. Though I hope it does well, as I want a Teen Titans movie.

You know what? They fucking deserve it for putting Snyder at the helm of their cinematic universe.

Just waiting for the day when DC decides to sell to Disney too.

The world might literally explode then.

Should have done more world building. I'm nowhere near as excited for JL as I was for the first Avengers film.

It helps to have a platform to build upon to establish a character that can be popular with an audience. Marvel did this with Thor. Warner Bros. rushed their franchise to get to this point, despite the effort put forth with Wonder Woman (a welcomed effort at that, because that was an actual good superhero movie).

This year just proved the big gap between the MCU and DCEU. GOTG2 is considered the "worst" of the three, yet a vast majority will still easily prefer it to any DCEU movie maybe besides WW.

I actually hope that Thor wins so all of these incompetent executives finally face the consequences for ruining DC.
