I distinctly remember watching Iron Man opening week (and I have no idea why I did, because I had no fondness for the character) and boy did that movie KILL. The audiences was constantly laughing and totally into it.

No. Thor is out everywhere. The worldwide weekend was $45M. So double that and you probably have a decent idea of where the worldwide total is going. $840M could still happen if Thor has a good Thanksgiving week.
I lost :(
Well, unless I retroactively switch my Wonder Woman and Justice League predictions.
Yeah, I figured with the holiday coming and positive word of mouth its drops would be less and less. $840M is a success for Thor.
It's going to end up with $100M more DOM and $200M more international than it's predecessor (which received tepid reception). That s a major win for Disney.
Its still a quite a success and will make over 800 million. Especially coming off 2 Thor 2 darkwold.
those numbers for thor are, in relative terms, fantastic... $740m already in the bank, and like someone just posted; $200m WW and $100m domestically, (when all is said and done) over it's predecessor
all the film has to do now is shuffle along in cinemas past christmas and the new year to end up around the $850m mark
i always go back to that leaked email between sony and disney (if it was real) that $750m for homecoming would be seen as the target WW. it gives you the impression that disney have their costs completely in check and are realistic with what is needed at the BO
disney/marvel will see thors numbers as nothing but a complete success

But this was their crown jewel at the end of the year to seal the deal and it's not gonna reach 100m.
And its legs are gonna get capped next week.
In only its first week JL is already the second highest grossing film featuring Wonder Woman this year.
I don't see it as cutting them off at the knees. The dark knight and rises both did a billion worldwide and that was before the 3D tax and international grosses growing rapidly.
DC's biggest properties like batman, superwoman and wonder woman can do a billion worldwide individually.
I'm not saying never do the justice league but you don't have to rush into because it's working so well for marvel.
I think I'm also quite biased because I just don't think the big DC characters really work all that well together. I'm sure it can be done but I prefer them individually.
The same the advertising that Microsoft used when Xbox One Slim topped the US charts for couple of weeks lol
But DC cares
"JL is now the number 1 movie in the world! RLM- 'It's like a Saturday morning cartoon come to life.' "
so that tweet posted at the top of the page saying '$26m more than blah, blah, and blah'... is that half confirming a $94m OW?
Actually, I kinda expect WB to be relatively honest about this in their press release. With a 100+ opening number, they could have spun this a number of ways. But now, I assume they'll admit to their fuck-up somehow.
"Well, it's pretty clear that Danny Elfman doesn't resonate with audiences anymore. We blame Tim Burton. Fuck that guy."

Haha fair enough. I dont read comics so the movies are my only exposure to these characters. Youre saying he was C tier then? It Spidey is A who would be considered B?
You know there will be spin on here about Iron Man and RDJ being A list and of course the first Iron Man grossed a ton based on their star power, completely ignoring the fact that RDJ was mostly poison at the time and it was Marvel's first film and using a not as popular IP to launch everything.
Back in the mid-2000s, Spidey and the XMen were Marvel's A-tier.
Captain Marvel is a way more interesting addition to the MCU for now, given the time period and material it's covering. There will be time to get Ms Marvel going, and it works better if her Captain is a thing.
Someone has to have already tried to push that narrative.
What are the chances that JL finishes its run somewhere around Suicide Squad worldwide numbers?
It looks like the only movie, coming out in the next few weeks, that will completely destroy its legs is The Last Jedi, but that's almost four weeks away. Coco is coming out next week but I'm not sure if the audiences will overlap for the two movies.
Of course, there's Thor, which has great critical reception and word of mouth, but I'm not sure there's enough left in it to stunt JL's legs.

The revisionist history on the MCU is amazing. There are people arguing in one of the Justice League thread that mean girls is bigger than avengers. I just don't know anymore.
