What I mean is sequels usually do better when the previous instalment is well recieved. So JL already has that going against it.

I mean really whose curious about Flash and Aquaman? A tiny minority of the audience. Most people really don't know anything about those characters.
The way to make JL the huge event it wants to be was to put out the Flash and Aquaman movies first, and then those films would add to the hype/excitement for JL.
Case in point, Wonder Woman is a much bigger name than Flash or Aquaman. Yet she didn't help BvS make bank at all. Why? No prior solo movie.
However the solo WW film coming prior to JL might help JL's box office.

if they can attract the foreign audience and if most people who saw BVS sees JL, then it can be a hit. Too many unknowns at this time, but I think it will top a billion or get close.
I don't see how any of that would make it a bigger hit than BvS (unless it has stronger legs due to better WOM).
The way they've done it, JL will basically be a sequel to BvS, with more heroes added (and hopefully with better WOM).
With better WOM and assuming SS and WW are well received, I can see it hitting the magic 1Bill mark. But that's best case scenario IMO, and I don't see much better than that.
