That’s pretty good. I personally enjoyed BvS. Just wished the dc movies didn’t take themselves so seriously. But that’s just me. |
This movie is very light in tone so i think they fixed the dourness.

That seems pretty low considering the budget and marketing they’ve been doing for the film. I haven’t seen it yet myself but still expected more. Guess it’s a bad time of year for these types of films.

If Justice League can continue to stay back by around that much it will continue to do well. Hopefully tomorrow will show it making 9 to 10 million for Tuesday. Kids are out of school in many places in America as of today. So Weds could be really good and it will only go up over the Week. |
Hopefully. But I fear the media has teared into the DCEU too much for us to have another JL movie, which is a real damn shame. As evident in this topic, most of the people who watched it liked it.

Bad time of year? Thor released only 2 weeks before this movie, yet opened with $122M. It'll be at or past $800M after just 4 weeks in theaters WW. JL just didn't satisfy audiences. This should have been DC's Avengers, which did $1.5B WW. This movie will do half of that.

It's budget is 300 million including marketing. Without that I think it is closer to 200 million which it will easily make. There really should be no reason that a movie that makes over 200 million in just one country will not get another one. |
The $300M estimate doesn't include advertising. And a company only gets half of the box office draw. So, this movie needs to do $600M just to break even, probably $800M if you include advertising. That won't make WB or DC happy.

Also just read this, but these people are morons. They said it was hard to follow? Ummmm...... What was hard to follow and Ben is one of the better Batman's.

I trust neither, variety could have a wrong source and Wikipedia can be edited by anyone

Even if the production budget is $250M, that doesn't include the advertising budget, which is reportedly similar to BvS and SS's ad budget of $150M. So, that still adds up to $400M altogether, or $800M to break even. Also, here is Variety saying the budget is ~$300M.
Not sure how you can say they didn't spend as much as BvS or Thor 3. The advertising levels seemed to be very similar. But, even if you want to say they only spent $125M on the ad budget, that's still $375M, or $750M to break even. Even if it reaches that, WB/DC are not going to be happy with just breaking even. Not when Avengers made bank with $1.5B.
Last edited by thismeintiel - on 22 November 2017To me, it seemed like Warner rushed this product out before it was ready. Marvel had several films building up to the avengers. They had the iron man, Incredible Hulk, iron man 2, Thor, Captain America, then finally The avengers.
DC had what? Man of steel and bvs then we start getting trailers for justice league? I know WW came out a few months ago but it still doesn’t feel like they took enough time to build up to JL. I mean they went three years with no other dc hero movie between man of steel and BvS. 14’ and 15’ should have had a Wonder Woman and flash movie to lead into the JL.

DC basically wanted to make the same amount as Avengers did for themselves without putting in the work to get there in the first place like Marvel did it seems.
The reason Avengers did so well and the MCU in general continues to do so well is because Marvel took the time to properly set up the universe and get people care for the characters and get to know who they are in their solo films, which made the giant team-up in the first Avengers feel like even more of a huge event/payoff after a long buildup.
With DC it's like they just went "Yeah we COULD build up to it, but that will take too long and we wanna try to make that big money now. THEN we'll do all the work after we've made the huge money", while failing to realize that if they don't put in the work first then it won't have the same effect, especially with how most of the other DCEU movies have been received rather poorly/mixed, with the only exception being Wonder Woman.

I feel like both Thor 3 and Guardians 2 underperformed this year. Based on the hype, marketing and reception, I would have expected those movies to crack the $1B.
