Yes. $92-94M would by my guess based on that range. WB might throw up a $95M estimate if Saturday is $33M. A bit higher if Saturday goes up.
At this point I would be surprised if it does hit $100 million.
94 would be a win at this point after all the 80s talk. So this definitely has better legs than BvS?
Pretty hard to say that after 1 day. Gotta see next weekend to know.
OP
OP
Saturday's bump would be 24.5-28% based on Rth range which was in between my middle and optimistic prediction from last night. Closer to the later of we get $33M.
This is definitely not the worst case scenario.
I wonder who is going to win the box office bet in the thread before Thor came out. My numbers are close if you switch the movies!
OP
OP
Not is going to be the closest qualifying prediction for Justice League. He picked $97M.
But the contest is based on both films combined, so you could win by being off on both if you were wrong in the opposite direction.
This won't have better legs, and this is in no way a win
I should clarify im just talking about BvS with respect to opening weekend. After the Thursday preview numbers for JL we heard that a BvS Fri-Sun would have put it at 75m. So 94 is a *win* relative to that
I think the real lesson buried in the success of Wonder Woman, Ant-Man, Dr. Strange, etc... and the failure of BvS and JL is that people are more discerning than a lot of folks thought. People just assumed the masses went into comic book films because they were comic book films, when I think the argument is that people want to know something of the quality. The only shield against this for studios is to build up a seal of quality to can help put butts in seats for more suspicious (for lack of a better word) films (Ant-Man, Guardians, Dr. Strange). The Marvel logo is a seal of quality. The movies will only ever be popcorn flicks at worst, and people trust that. With the DCEU, people trusted in BvS and got burned. Then they got burned by Suicide Squad. Wonder Woman succeeded, but it's clear that her success is seen by audiences as a clear outlier; they don't trust WB to provide a good movie without waiting for impressions, either from critics or their friends. Neither of those are good for JL, and so it's hurting. WB doesn't have a DCEU seal of quality. If the movie isn't good, it'll show at the box office.
It's interesting, because I feel like Begins was hampered by the Schumacher era, but that's a gap from 1997 to 2005.

Throw "major" in front of live action :p
With inflation, 66 would still be the equivalent of a $10-15M film today.
I guess?
It's a disastrous result regardless.
Legs are totally up in the air but I don't expect much with a B cinemascore.
Interesting fun fact thanks for sharing this with us. Both films featuring Batman came off a badly received film.
It's sad but WB has nobody to blame but themselves.
WB will put its Sunday drop estimate at like 12% and say it made 100m over the weekend...then the actuals will be more like a 30% Sunday drop
This is why we need the DCEU, it's incredible material for the internet. :p It does lead to meltdowns, overreactions, trolling and the peanut gallery goes crazy.
Looks like WoM isn't as strong as the some had hoped.
I just cannot see this pulling a SS and struggling though considering what is coming up in the next few weeks.

The shadow of Batman and Robin loomed large. I remember people predicting a 100M+ opening weekend for Begins. Made 75M over five days. Different time I guess. Marvel hadn't even hit the picture. I doubt the stench of Snyder will last that badly.
Batman Begins had absolutely nothing going for it.
Huge stench from Schumacher on the general public
No big stars
No big villains
Came out to a small opening but had fantastic drops every week and managed enough money and good grace to lead to DCU being created.
Nolan basically was the sole reason this universe was able to be created and it's a travesty what has happened since the Nolan Batman trilogy.

Well, there goes the possibility of the nuclear option: JL grossing less than Thor 2 OW
Who would've guessed it. I kept saying we live in a world where Iron Man > DC's Trinity. But now we could likely say Thor > the whole freaking Justice League.
I don't believe in conspiracy theories but something must've been done. It took multiple films for the Transformers ride to die.

Where would we be if both green lantern and man of steel were great films, idk you found a genie and made that wish?
The Wonder Woman franchise could be DC's Iron Man franchise, but I think Gal is more like DC's Evans than RDJ.
DC doesn't really have a RDJ. The closest may be Affleck and he has one foot out the door.
JL imploding lays waste to the whole 'DC movies will make money no matter what' narrative that's been going around for some time.
That first teaser was so good.
The bestDCsuperherotrailers ever

Shame the movie is so boring because that was one of the best superpower sequences ever. God damn whenever they get superman in a more heroic and (graceful) god like direction he can be the GOAT superhero
Hopefully he gets another shot in like 4 or 5 years and it's got him with a more traditional personality and with set pieces like that
Soooo... low-mid? LIke $230-ish?
Is there any chance of this coming under $700m when all said and done?
OP
OP
I think that $230M is about where the domestic floor is.
I don't know about Worldwide yet. We need the full weekend take. Overseas box office sees much larger Saturday bumps.
For God's sake, people! Go watch Justice League so that DCEU can afford decent CG for their movies.....
Well he did pick Snyder for MoS..

That sequence with the gunner totally sold me, I was gonna see it no matter what
Ah well we got that scene from Wonder Woman
