It doesn't go down to maximum 50-50 after a while. It starts in the favour for the studios but after weeks it's more like a "most goes to the cinema". That's why people always use this 50-50. It's probably more like a 60-40 in favour of the studios for frontloaded movies like BvS was but still...
That's why we have cinemas "specialized" in showing older movies, they get almost everything when they show them. The few people who go in these cinemas aren't really enough if it would be really a 50-50 split + popcorn and coke...
Then you have markets like China where only 25% go to the studio even on day 1 so a 50-50 WW sounds plausible. Maybe a 55-45.

Even so, 55% would net Warner Bros. 480 million, plus then you factor in merchandising sales (BvS had a ton of merchandise), Blu-Ray/DVD, Video on Demand, Digital ... safe to say that's another $150 million in WB's coffers, you have 630 million take home, which is an tidy profit at the end of the day and I'm probably being fairly conservative on merchandising/video sales.

Sry wasn't really arguing about the numbers you quoted. Yes, Warner will obviously make a lot of money from it but still much less as the managers probably expected. Some hundred million profit will be easy.
