Definitely going to hit $1 billion


While it will do so so domestically, it's a hard on fav for the international viewers. James never disappoints when it comes to action packed.

I think so , it looks just like AM1 which is DCs biggest ever movie with 1.1b.

It has no competition this christmas except Wonka maybe

It has the Avatar look audiences seemed to dig (and the waterthon Avatar 2 grossed 2.3b only last xmas)

Its the DCEU finale!

(negatives are obviously its the DCEU so like the past 2-3 DCEU films it might suffer as part of a dead regime, and it has Amber, but i don think any of that will affect it much)

I guess after it makes like 1.3b WBros will want AM3 which will have to be now part of DC Elseworlds as Gunn shut down the DCEU

Unless they decide to release the Batgirl movie after all....

reply

No they won't, but I wouldn't be surprised if in the future Batgirl gets leaked on the internet

I hope so.

It would be kind of funny if this movie is a box office hit, after all the production woes that were reported plus the Amber Heard controversy. What bearing the latter has on international audiences I cannot say.

Yeah, the more I think about it this could be another Meg 2. Where it gets bad reviews but audiences don't really care here nor there. It could still experience the DC curse and bomb, of course, but right now I don't really see it.

Me and my Magic 8 ball say 500-600

Well QueenfanUSA says it will earn worldwide box office of 7.5 billion. It's coming in hot, hot, hot!

No chance.

I'll guess around $650 million.

Looks like it got approved for release in China which should help. But the date has not been set yet.

So it just secured a release date in China. That might just save it from being a flop. But even that's a big if.
