Will get close to the 900 million box office mark worldwide. Of course, the studio will recieve just under half(40-45%) of the total gross, with the cinemas taking the remainder. Considering the production budget is being reported as being 250 million as well as the supposed 150 million worldwide marketing budget, the movie won't be considered a success for Warner Brothers. Just breaking even or making a slight profit is essentially a waste of time considering those efforts could have been utilized elsewhere. WB need to manage their budgets better. Tone down the CGI, ground the movie down slightly and streamline the script so audiences don't get mental fatigue(the movie went for much too long and infused too many concepts in order to set up Justice League). 250 million budget is ridiculous considering Deadpool was made with something like 60 million and looks as good and was a much more enjoyable movie. That movie made 800 million worldwide. Go figure.

There are articles saying exactly what you are saying here, anyone with any critical sense will agree with you, and yet fans will clain because itll end up making somewhere around 860-880 M worldwide it was a smashing sucess. Ppl realy need to put the box office of this movie in perspective, its like if the first Avengers movie had made 850M worldwide, Disney wouldve shut down the MCU on the spot. Only reason Warner wont do the same and reboot the whole thing is because they can´t afford to,  they already made too many mistakes with Super Heroes movies, they don´t have public trust anymore, they need to get what they started, turn it around and make it work.



The movie was terribly miscast also. You had negative reception of Ben Affleck's inclusion from day one of the announcement(granted he became one of the only positives of the movie later on), whilst the actor that played Lex Luthor was bad in general. I love movies and even I was looking at my watch after 2 hours thinking "surely this must end soon". Doesn't help that there was nothing really exciting about the movie and some of the concepts were laughable such as the "you are letting them kill martha" reasoning for Batman sparing Superman and Doomsday's boring sequence. They did get a few elements right though, the batmobile looked awesome(way better than the Tumbler), Batman's modulated voice was great and different from the usual porn-star voice but these are few compared to the obvious flaws.
