This film is going to destroy box office records

That seems very unlikely, given the state of the DCEU. But with the low bar set by Justice League it could be a success when compared to that.

Only "box office record" it will destroy is bigger flop than Justice Plague and SW:Solo.

It will do ok but not by capeshit standards. It will make a little money but be a BO disappointment. Prob slightly above JL.
I'll see the next WW but not this. Momoa was terrible in JL. DC execs don't know what makes a movie good so I'm done throwing the dice hoping it will be good.
At least with marvel I have a 75% chance of the movie being good. With DC it has been like 15% chance of good.
What's funny is how anyone can champion DCEU. OP seems to have pride in DC and obviously thinks all Marvel is lame and its fans too. Hysterical. I could understand if you felt that way about ALL comic book movies but to think that DC is doing a better job is a major disconnect. I wonder what OP is like around the breakfast table before the bus arrives.

Maybe but I don't think so. (really hoping I'm wrong)

It's comparatively less expensive than BVS or Justice League. It only has to break even for WB to call it a success.

reply

Will you eat your own shit if it doesn't even break $300m? Budget is $160m.

reply

So it's budget is the same as Ant Man and the Wasp's.

Interesting. I think with it's holiday release it's a pretty safe bet that it will make quite a bit more than that film domestically. Globally, it's a little more uncertain.
