That is their revised prediction. Originally, everyone thought it would at least hit $110M+, with quite a few thinking it would open at least as big as Thor. Which makes sense, since this is DC's version of the Avengers.
@ OP
This isn't the worst result, of course, but in context it is a godawful return. The standalone WW movie did $7M more, while the recent Thor movie opened $27M higher. Of course, we shouldn't even be comparing it to those movies. This is DC's Avengers movie, after all. That movie opened with over $200M in one weekend. It did $1.5B+ WW when its run was over. Justice League's probably only going to do half of that, which is pathetic, since so is the standalone Thor movie. DC just can't throw enough money at these lackluster movies to get them above $900M.
Personally, for me the lack of passion shows through. And the mainstream audiences are starting to see it, too. It's just so obvious that DC is rushing to catch up with Marvel, but in doing so, they are putting out an inferior product. This image kind of says it all to me.
