The first Avengers was a first of its kind team up movie. Multiple films in the same universe and then having an ensemble movie was not going to be matched again to that effect.
The wow factor of the first Avengers was gone butt Age of Ultron still did massive numbers.

I guess, but super hero fatigue was constantly being mentioned before BVS even came out. And many people I know are already turned off by Marvel movies. My roommate for example thinks the ones I like (Avengers, GOTG, etc...) are overrated.

hahahaa, that article came out a few days ago. It doesn't need to earn 800 to break even. Then again, you were wrong about Warcraft and BVS. No surprise there. 😂

a billion is unlikely, in fact this has make at least $750 million.. of course since this might not open China that figure looks to be unlikely as well

article from denofgeek.. they say this cost $250 million...

Yep. BVS didn't flop and Warcraft lost money for the studio. Which is the definition of flop. You have a history of being wrong. SS is listed under 175 production budget.

Avengers made 1.5 billion and AOU made 1.4, that is less than a 10% difference.

Your Jesse Eisenberg avatar with the dumb funny look on his face and BvS parody sig will be missed.

🙁

Golgo doesn't make any sense. Marvel continues to have box office hits as well as movies are are critically acclaimed but somehow he thinks things are rosey at Warner Bros. Fanboyism destroys lives.

I was speaking about domestic. Huge difference. And the OS market constantly expands.

It's the reviews by critics, who have seen it at press screenings. They are not making up negative reviews of a film they haven't seen yet.

Box office always determines, in the end. No matter how bad the reviews for Transformers sequels were, the box office just got bigger. But that's rarely the case.

no i'm referring to those throwing tantrums about negative reviews. To motion that RT be ban would be to assume the reviews aren't correct (even though its subjective). To determine that, even on a personal level, one would have to SEE the movie first. Since it hasn't been shown to the vast majority yet, how can someone ***** about reviews being wrong?? makes no sense.

A good movie, Not sure what the hell the critics seen, When they went to the premiere of the movie to give it such negative reviews

8/10 from me.

I'm sure it will be a fun movie.

I think the reason WB hasn't won over critics for its DC films yet is 1) the comparisons to Marvel which they can't compete with, and 2) they haven't given a GREAT movie yet to win everybody over. Something like IM1 is what they needed to kick this all off with.

You're forgetting the marketing budget. They've clearly spent an insane amount marketing this movie. A marketing campaign which critics have put down overnight.

How strong was

AOU simply wasn't anywhere near as good as A1.

Still JL will struggle to hit a Billion. Every Avengers movie will continue to make massively more than that.
