The drop next week will be fascinating.

350mil domestic, 800mil worldwide is just barely meeting expectations.
Having a Batman v Superman movie essentially just run in place isn't what Warners was hoping for. They're not gonna lose their shirt on this, obviously, but the amount of noise and fury this film is spinning off while more or less just standing in the same spot Man of Steel stood? That's not good. It's not a failure. It's not disaster. But it's not really a victory, either.
Also, look at those Cloverfield holds! That's good stuff.

Wait, I was just in another BvS thread where folks weren't agreeing with the 170m weekend boxoffice. Was ambar_hitman right?

BvS made $424 million in one weekend. It´s reaching a billion.
It's already halfway there in a weekend. It's a great start.
Great start. Legs watch 2016 begins now.
I'm thinking 60-70% drop for next weekend, but I'm genuinely curious. Stand by my prediction that it will dip below Zootopia at some point in its run, just for the amusement factor.

Only 20M shy of AOU. Probably not what WB wanted but its not a bad take at all.

It absolutely, positively will not have a 70 percent drop. I would do an avatar bet on it any day of the week.

But the sexy legs of Deadpool have been under watch

Pretty damn good start for BvS. Now lets see how it legs. That's what will decide things.

Cool. It was ok.
Yeah 70% seems a little high, 65% is totally doable though.

That's not what was happening.
That poster was using a poor source, misunderstood what he was reading, and misrepresented the article on top of that.
People have already brought up that and Spider-Man 3 as possible analogs.

I'm proud to have seen
this past weekend.
What's gonna be more interesting is next week's numbers. It was practically guaranteed a great opening, but let's see whether word of mouth helps it or hurts it in the long run.

Me, I've been staring at Zootopia's fuzzy legs. Rawr.

BvS opened to $424 global? I mean thats a damn good number. I know that includes China but thats a monster opening.

We're at the top of the Batman v Superman roller coaster. Get ready for the drop.

Damn, Deadpool made bank.
Revenue wise, BvS did what it was supposed to do. I still can't believe it's at 29% rotten. That's pretty terrible.

It´s really impressive but expected though. There are no movies targeting families at the moment, and from what i heard Zootopia is a great movie.
Bullshit.

My wife, who has enjoyed all the recent Disney and Pixar stuff said it was kind of boring. My 6 year old seemed to enjoy it well enough.

Yeah BvS has zero competition coming up. It will probably hold decently because what else are people going to see

Nice, it was an awesome movie. Woot.

I do wonder how the legs will be. There isn't exactly much competition for a bit and word of mouth is all over the place.
AlteredBeast

Exactly. That and the general populace seems to enjoy it well enough. It is no critical success, and much of the comic book nerd populace seems to despise most aspects of it, but both of thkae segments are tiny compared to people who just want to see superheroes smash stuff.
That's part of it, sure. But lack of direct competition does not translate automatically to great legs. There have been plenty of animated films released without a lot of competition, that didn't translate to 3x OW multiplier with a lot left in the tank. As you said, it really is a good movie. Word of mouth has been great.
It's trampled the studio's prior releases, though won't have the legs of Frozen.

So..why do people want to fail this again ? I feel pretty bad tbh when reading comments like that. The movie might not be great or even good, but how it does is important for it's future. I am sure Justice League (2017) would've been Snyder's last movie anyway.
It's out everywhere at once (only Poland and Myanmar excluded: 1st of April for both), so that factors into the WW number. A truly global release is pretty rare these days.
Still a very good number.
I was pretty close with the Overseas weekend take for BvS. I think I said $250M after we had yesterday's number.
Missing $800M with this start is pretty close to impossible. I will try to dig up a Godzilla legs scenario later.
Lets go with near worst case scenario domestically and say Hulk 2003 legs off of a $168M opening (since that Sunday is a bit optimistic). That would give you $357M domestic. Legs go with a similarly cynical prediction for China and say $90M total.
That would mean the rest of the world would have to earn around $550M off of a ~$200M start to hit $1B. That would require pretty decent legs, but anything that isn't possible.
