The fact that this movie opened $40M higher than GotG, yet looks like it may have to crawl it's way to the same $333M, with a chance that it doesn't make it, tells you all you need to know about the film. And GotG didn't even have to shoehorn in cameos from Iron Man or Captain America to try and get more butts in the seats. Given it's crazy marketing budget, and the fact that this movie has to make $750 to break even, this is nothing short of a disappointment for DC and WB.

"this movie has to make $750 to break even, this is nothing short of a disappointment for DC and WB." Where are you getting these facts from? As per all the main sources, movie had already broke even couple of weeks ago. It's in the profit making phase and already deemed a big hit of the summer.
"shoehorn in cameos from Iron Man or Captain America to try and get more butts in the seats. " Looks like they are running out of steam now. They are relentlessly boring now without cameos. That is why they are trying to include Guardians in Avengers 3.

Links? We already know the budget was $175M. So to break even they would have to have made $350M+, which they have. However, that doesn't include the huge marketing budget. They pushed this movie HARD. Probably even harder than BvsS. That's where the remaining $200M estimate comes in, which means an additional $400M+ to break even, overall. Maybe the insider's estimates are off and it broke even at $650M-$700M.
Either way, the movie was a disappointment, financially speaking. BvsS even more so. WB wants its own MCU. However, their DCCU comes off as rushed, with little respect for the characters the movies are based on. Story elements and arcs that should have come later and made a HUGE impact are just being shoehorned into bit parts in their films. The lack of legs shows the quality just isn't up to par with the MCU.
Oh, and you mean Avengers 3? The same one that is a huge two part film that includes the entire MCU against Thanos? Yea, no idea why they would be involving the GotG in that one. /s
