WW was only about 25mill ahead Domestic but got trashed by Guardians worldwide.

I don't see how that makes WW superior.

The fact that WW opened much lower than Guardians but finished higher domestic is a huge point for WW.

Disney fears the WW sequel so much the put their ace franchise one week after it. They know WW2 would have killed in that spot.

Merchandise. Wonder woman sells more and had a bigger domestic,total. Like I said a million times, box office is just one aspect of a movies success. Promotional dollars should be taken into account as well. MOS had a huge budget, but made up for it in promotional dollars.

Warner Bros.' 'Man of Steel' Nabs $170 Million in Promotional Dollars

Wow, look at how far those goalposts have moved.

Yeah, stop moving those goalposts!!

Yes yes we all know Wonder Woman did better domestically.

You really thinkn Disney "fears" Wonder Woman? Lol

So what you're saying is, Wonder Woman, the most Iconic Female Superhero of all time, can sell more merchandise than Marvel's talking tree and racoon? Congratulations to WB.

What the hell man? Why do I care about WB's promotional strategies?

But if you really wanna go there, then it again comes down to WB using "Icons" to succeed. Obviously a name like Superman will be able to make much better promotional deals than a name like Marvel's Thor lol

WW2 is going to open huge and with December legs it would lead to a massive total.

Say it opens to $150 million and has a 3.5 multiplier. That gets it to over $520 million domestic. Disney being the ruthlessly competitive company they are known to be would hate that.

Disney's Star Wars has been owning December for the last couple of years. They were in December originally then moved forward to May, but after a change of director moved back to their original December date.

You're assuming too much about WW2. DCEU haven't done any sequels yet.

Star Wars is going to punk WW out of her slot. Disney isn't scared of WW. She can't even beat lesser known marvel properties. Poor dceu. Beta bitches.

Because promotional dollars, merchandise, and box office are part of the bigger whole. Studios don't even get most of their profit from box office alone. Its through merchandise.so if you really want to gauge a films success, you have to look at the bigger picture.

Okay. But then Marvel's still ahead because of Spider-Man.

So Marvel's ahead whatever way you look at it.

Except comparing the first 4 movies for each Lol I can't even get over what a lame comparison that is.

Any way Golgo wants to spin out marvel outdoes their best. It's sad. Marvel has them every single way.

No shit. I'm talking the MCU studio you were the one pointing out profit and merchandise and how GOTG made more.I gave you the link and wonder woman made more. Hell, she makes more than Batman now and makes nearly as much as the entire Avengers. Now think of the JL potential.

what wll be your excuse if/when wb moves wonder woman 2 out of star wars' way?

No excuse. It makes business sense to move WW2.

It can't compete with Star Wars.
