'Batman V Superman' Box Office: 'Dawn Of Justice' Tops 'Man Of Steel' With $682M Worldwide Cume

Well, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice didn’t quite clear $700 million this weekend, but it has easily outgrossed its immediate predecessor and leapfrogged up the all-time comic book superhero movie list. The DC Comics superhero sequel earned an additional $85.1m overseas this weekend, which brings its foreign cume to $421.4m. With the addition of the $261.457m in domestic grosses after ten days in North America, the Zack Snyder blockbuster has earned $682.85m worldwide. That means it has indeed passed the $668m worldwide cume of Man of Steel in just under two weeks of worldwide play.

The bad news is that the film is falling fast in key markets like China (it fell 85% from Friday-to-Friday in China and has now earned $85 million in said territory). It will also be losing key IMAX screens starting as early as April 7th in the various markets debuting Walt Disney's DIS -0.24% The Jungle Book in advance of its April 15th domestic debut. In terms of China numbers, it made less on its second Saturday ($4.9m) than Zootopia made ($5m) on its fifth Saturday. So while the film may not break the $1 billion mark at this juncture (it has pretty much opened everywhere around the world), it’s still racking up some massive numbers.

In good news, it has earned $79.3 million in Latin America to become the third-biggest Warner Bros. release ever behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 and The Dark Knight Rises. It’s the biggest WB movie ever in Mexico with $29.7m and claims that same record in Brazil with $21.575m. It is already the third-biggest DC Comics movie worldwide after the last two Dark Knight sequels ($1.003 billion and $1.084b worldwide respectively).

It has already outgrossed every 20th Century Fox comic book movie save X-Men: Days of Future Past ($747 million) and Deadpool ($749m-and-counting) and it will eventually pass those as well. And it has already outgrossed all Sony comic book movies not named Spider-Man (including all three Men in Black movies) on a global and domestic scale. And it outgrossed the first two Iron Man films ($585m and $623m) worldwide this weekend with the caveat that both Paramount/Viacom VIAB -0.24% Inc. releases were in 2D.

Even among the Walt Disney Marvel movies (and Sony Spider-Man movies), it trails twelve current MCU and Marvel Comics adaptions. It passed Ant-Man, the first two Iron Man movies, and Thor: The Dark World ($642 million) this past week. It will soon pass the likes of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 ($709m) and Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($714m).

Deztro:
men just finished the movie and i enjoyed it.

Wait am i the only one who enjoyed the lex luthor guy

Minemrys:
no you are n0t...

TonySpike:
BvS finished the weekend with $682 million, which Is slightly lower than my earlier prediction of $700 million. It has now surpassed MOS in terms of financial gross. It should catch up with deadpool and Zootopia by sometime next week. Also, Zootopia has edged out deadpool as the highest grossing movie of 2016. I predict that BvS total gross will end up somewhere between $850 and $950 million. I maybe wrong though, but with Jungle book in the offing, there is a new competitor in the market.

TonySpike:


Some deleted BvS scenes recently released showed that Lex was actually influenced by Darkseid or his minions, please watch this video...

Hey guys, this is the new DCEU movie schedule from now to 2020. Wonder woman has been shifted by three weeks earlier to avoid competing with Transformers. Meanwhile, two unnamed movies have been added to the schedule. I suspect these movies are Ben Affleck's Batman and Man of Steel 2. We'll wait and see though.

No word on shazam

TonySpike:
I saw this news extract somewhere:

"However, according to the report, Warner Bros. may consider some personnel changes on its upcoming Justice Leaguefilms. While director Zack Snyder will almost certainly remain at the helm, WB may consider adding a new producer to the mix, which may add a small amount of fuel to unsubstantiated rumors aboutMad Max: Fury Road director George Miller joining the film as a producer."

I personally think that Zack Snyder gives excellent cinematography and pictures. He only needs a good director to help him with some areas of film direction. George Miller is a good choice and WB is taking the right step. Justice League: Part I begins shooting on Monday.

Minemrys:

yea but any news about the casts?

TonySpike:
Sorry guys,

Shazam - April 5, 2019

That's the date for Shazam, about three years from now. Any comments on my expanded review of BvS up there?

Minemrys:
New c0nfirmation fr0m snyder. JL to be m0re of an Avengers film in t0ne. See what the critics caused??

AdeLaNa1:
I just watched an episode of JL:U where Wonder woman gave Hawkgirl, Vixen, Black Canary and the Huntress a proper beat down!!

I know wonder woman is supposed to be the strongest female super hero in DC. But if it ever came down to brute strength, who would/should win between Wonder woman and Supergirl?? Afterall, Supergirl has all of Superman's powers....

TonySpike:


It's a difficult one but considering that wonder woman is a warrior of several millenia, I think she will easily beat Supergirl. But Supergirl has some awesome powers like superman, that could be advantageous.

AdeLaNa1:
I agree it wont be an easy fight for both heroines but Wonder woman should come out on top at the end.

Minemrys:
