The fact that this movie is the second of the DCCU is Warners fault, they tried to pull waht Marvel did in 2 movie sinstead of setting it up properly. But this movie is the first time the DC holy trinity is seen on screen together we gota keep in mind Batman and Super Man are the 2 most popular super heroes on the planet, and the production costs and marketing machine behind this was homungous. It also benefit greatl from the overall sucess of super hero movies, ppll like seing these movies nowadays. This should have had Avengers numbers on the box office and jusging by its first week numbers it would have had if it was a good movie. IThe professional critics had an impact but the main problem was the lackluster word of mouth.

900M (wich I dont think itll do, itll end around 880M) is an awesome number in absolute terms, its not so awesome considering the investment and the potential this movie had. I think itdve been much more profitable and inteligent for Warner to set up the DCCu slowly, launchng 3-4 smaler,less risky movies first and only them doing a team up one when we already cared enought about the characters to invest ourselves in their conflics. 

Yes, let's compare older movies which have only Batman or Superman in it and from a time where China was nothing to talk about with a movie from 2016, a time where we will get some billion sellers every single year and with Batman and Superman fighting against each other. As if such a clash between these two wouldn't get the interest of many more people as long as the movie would be good.

If movies like Deadpool could beat BvsS (in theory, it didn't release in China and has 100m+ less revenue because of this) you realize how "low" BvsS numbers are even if it will make a ton of money.

BvsS with a good quality as billion seller was a pretty sure bet, the numbers from release show this as well but then there was word of mouth and it dropped like a rock. Even the first Sunday already shows this, it dropped already so short after release and as longer the movie was out as more people told their friends that it's nothing they need to see.

The only good thing which happend to this movie was the first days WW before people could tell their friends to rather stay at home...that saved the movie, money form people who didn't know much about the quality^^

Well, until may, because by then it'll be four. when Civil War comes out and beats it. 

Dark Knight Rises made obviously less in China as BvsS, because the Chinese cinema market is growing like crazy (more than quadrupled in the last 5 years, DKR released 4 years ago). That's exactly why I'm mentioning China all the time...If the Chinese market of some years ago would have been the same as it is in 2016, then many more movies would have made more as BvS will make. If Dark Knight Rises or many other movies which people mention from the past to show how "good" BvsS is doing. No, considering the market situation of 2016 which gives BvsS a big advantage compared to movies released some years ago, BvsS isn't doing that great.

And well, it's not as if I want to bash BvsS for any stupid reasons. I'm not one of these Marvel vs DC fanboys or anything (I mean, The Dark Knight destroys all other movies from Marvel). I just look realistically on the market we have now and for this market, anything below $1bn is really low for a huge movie where Batman and Superman clash against each other. 

The move will surely make a nice profit, but it will make less in ticket sales and less in later sales on disc as it could have made if people would like it more. The movie will probably fall to a 6.x on IMDB after 500k+ votes, this is not great for a super expensive superhero movie. Word of mouth wasn't that great and only the huge launch without word of mouth saved the movie from even less revenue. 

Inflation says otherwise. The first Superman movie would have grossed 1,101,934,918
