I mean, it just barely made $166 million on opening weekend. That’s honestly pretty terrible, all things considered. Considering that by 2016, we already had three movies open north of $200 million, you would think that a movie starring Batman and Superman would at least be able to clear $180 million.
I also don’t buy the argument that reviews hurt the movie’s opening weekend performance. Word of mouth doesn’t impact a movie until after people go out and see it. Even if BvS had the best reviews of any movie ever made, I still have trouble imagining that it would’ve done much better on opening weekend.
While we’re at it, I don’t think BvS ever had a chance in hell of crossing a billion. There’s no way word of mouth could’ve cost the film an additional $130 million. I don’t think people give a shit about Batman, despite what people like Bruce Timm and Frank Miller would have you believe.
