Leo DiCap playing Frank Abignale (You Can't Catch Me)
Daniel Day-Lewis playing LincolnAre you saying they could've used lesser known (& cheaper) actors & still these movies/ characters would've still been famous & popular?
And yet on the flip side you have Tim Curry, an average actor, in IT, a terrible film, playing Pennywise the clown, a brilliant character.
David Prowse and James Errol Jones as Vader
Brandon Lee as Eric Draven

Deadline has a new article out for BO performance.
http://deadline.com/2016/03/batman-v-superman-dawn-of-justice-global-opening-1201713544/
"BvS advance tickets went on sale Monday. How are they? Insiders tell Deadline that the first day sales of BvS outstripped that of The Dark Knight Rises. That 2012 threequel went on drum up $25M in advance ticket sales before its three-day opening of $160.9M. One rival studio B.O. analyst upon hearing the pre-sales intel on BvS indicated that if the film is truly pacing in tandem with Dark Knight Rises, then the Batman-Superman combo could possibly be looking at a $180M-plus stateside debut. How’s that? Turns out that was the original industry opening projection for Dark Knight Rises before the Aurora, CO. midnight theater shooting struck and slowed down business for the Christopher Nolan film during its first FSS. Put an asterisk on that forecast. Dark Knight Rises had the benefit of summer weekday audiences, BvS is hoping to milk as many spring breakers as possible. However, when it comes to record openings at the box office, does it even matter anymore what season you play?"

It's not bad if it has legs. Too early to say something like that.
lol , having legs puts it at or around between a final tally of $700 to $850 million world wide which is again not good for a film that supposedly is the most anticipated film this year.. Rumors suggest this cost $400 some old million dollars to make, if that is true then this has to make roughly $1.5 billion so WB can be happy... If you believe the $400 million price tag is false then provide evidence to the contrary and I do not mean what some dumb podcaster says.. find a website that disputes the $400 million price tag.

Should get around the 180mill mark OW Imo. Will have to have legs either way though.Reviews sound to me like film will be "good" but not "fantastic". But I suppose a lot of people think the same of the new Star Wars.
Yea most likely this should open up to at least $180 million domestic . I'm not really reading any reviews as I don't care what they say.. I do hope this turns out to be TDK, WS, ESB type good.

Again it depends on good the legs are. How hard is it to understand that?
