I loved Man of Steel, but the things I loved about it were how emotionally intimate and claustrophobic it was. I haven't seen either Superman V Batman, or Suicide Squad, because the trailers suggested to me that they're taking the DCEU directly away from the things I liked about Man of Steel.

Man of Steel gets better every time I watch it. It was a great starting point and BvS went down the dark road, but apparently for a purpose. Moving forward, it sounds like we'll be seeing the Batman and Superman we're all familiar with in the future movies. Piece of advice: don't watch the theaterical cut if you ever get around to it. Watch the Ultimate/extended edition. 

And you gotta check out Suicide Squad some time. It's almost its own tone much like how Guardians of the Galaxy is to the MCU, where it could technically be a standalone.

Got adjusted up its a little over $575 million world wide now. I stick with what I said earlier it will be over $600 million by Sunday and will easily make more then $700 million world wide by the time its done.

It's already outpaced by GotG on the daily earnings. SS has been aided this whole time by that +$40 million opening weekend. And remember, no China. I think this week it crashes and we see it stumble a little. I'll hold on $650-$675 WW finish, despite it being at $575 already. I'd love to see it top $700 though. 

Edit: I forgot it releases in Japan in a few weeks. Japan ranged anywhere from 9-25 million from the last handful of comicbook movies. Katana could be a major selling point though and could boost ticket sales. 

GotG made another 100 after the third week.

SS needs only to do a little better than half of it to beat 320mi.
