Not really, WB was being way too generous on the Sunday drop. Movies almost never drop under 30% on Easter.Updated results show an opening weekend of $166 mill. Wonder if bad word of mouth is starting to factor in already.
DO NOT WATCH THIS DELETED SCENE IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE

I'm very interested in seeing how much the numbers drop next week. What it has going for it is there is nothing worth seeing opening next weekend. In two weeks you have The Boss opening, but that's not a major deal. I think this movie probably will stay #1 at the box office until The Jungle Book opens on the 15th. So despite the poor quality, this movie will likely end up like the latest Transformers and still survive on it's box office numbers.
MOS made 36M on it's first Saturday, BVS made 50.If that's the design direction they're going for with the Fourth World characters, I'm glad I'm opting out of the DCEU now.
BvS made less its first Saturday than MoS did. It's going to drop like a rock this weekend.
Well duh, Deadpool only had a 50 million budgetLogic makes you think that, but the lack of competition makes me feel it won't be as bad as people are expecting. The final number for this film will still be pretty looking. It's just that Warner Bros. spent so much on making and advertising it that it won't be as profitable as it should. I guarantee you Deadpool brings FOX more of a profit than this will bring to Warner Bros.
It needs to have a 40% drop to make 100 million, that isn't happening 70 million sounds about right give or takeMeant Sunday, my bad. I know it was Easter, but still, considering how much it made Friday, the WOM is certainly getting to it.
I'm betting on a good bit less than 100 mill this weekend

Conversely, the film holds the record for the worst superhero Friday-to-Sunday drop with a 58% decline, eclipsing the previous 48% decline record held by Fantastic Four in 2015.

I really hope that the 2nd weekend is a drop because I wanna get involved in this DCU; and maybe some fallout could helpfully right this ship for future installments. At least Wan said Aquaman won't be a gritty/serious as BVS.
The movie grossed 15 million yesterday, which is 1M ahead of Furious 7's first Monday, nearly 4M ahead of IM3's, and nearly 2M ahead of AOU's. Some schools have the Monday off after Easter but it's not a huge impact.
Something that I'd actually forgotten about, was that this movie was originally supposed to have been released last Summer, but Snyder asked for an 8 month extension to make sure it was perfect...
Also, does any sane person actually want an Aquaman movie? A 2 hour movie of a guy communicating on a deep level with fish.

James Wan has me curious. Furious 7 was a mixed bag but that was his first time directing a big movie so I'll give him the benefit of doubt.Something that I'd actually forgotten about, was that this movie was originally supposed to have been released last Summer, but Snyder asked for an 8 month extension to make sure it was perfect...
