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.

They are both films within a standalone franchise that performed better than the the previous installments in those respective franchises, while also making Marvel a ton of profit.  How is that underperforming?  The only one underperforming when it comes to superhero movies, so far, is DC.  Not a single one has went past $900M.  And their version of the Avengers, a franchise in which both installments made over $1.4B, has a shot of not even hitting $800M.

Someone has forgotten the Dark Knight movies. The DCEU is supposed to be crap, right? So why do you expect any of the movies to pass $900M? Also, why not compare the gross of the first entries of the Marvel movies to the first entries of the DCEU movies?
