This will surpass $650 million by a fair bit by Monday.
Domestically it will probably be around $226 million. That would put it a few hundred thousand above Fantastic Beasts and a few hundred thousand behind Doctor Strange at the same point in time.
I would say hitting $230 million might be a bit of a push now.

Well I might buy another ticket for this one since I liked it about 10x more than the horrible Star Wars movie. Need something to clean my palette. This is seriously insane. Star Wars was so much better than Justice League it is a joke. I disagree. At least JL had some epic moments. It had its problems but didn't drop the ball nearly as often as TLJ. JL actually redeemed a major character (Superman) while TLJ crapped all over one of the most iconic characters in movie history (Luke).

That doesn't make Justice League better. Seriously, anyone who thinks this just has terrible taste in movies. There is nothing Justice League did better than The Last Jedi. Seriously nothing. I think some people just don't understand the difference between not liking a movie because it failed to meet your expectations, it failed to prove your fanfic theories and it failed to comply with your wet dreams; and clearly not liking a movie because it is plainly bad. While I try to respect other people opinions, I see that most of the TLJ criticism is derived or caused for not fallowing any of the popular fanbase speculations and theories. So, no, Rey is not a Kenobi, or a Skywalker or a Palpatine. No, Snoke is not Mace Windu. I can go on. People wanted the movie they imagined, so now they feel robbed. Meanwhile Justice League is pure and stinky crap. And some people don't know the difference between why people don't like a movie and other people just making up reasons like you did here. There are real fundamental flaws in TLJ. Sure the acting, cinematography, etc was well done....but the script was ill conceived, wasted several characters, ignored several plot threads set up in the previous movie, and had several sub plots that could have been removed from the movie without even effecting the main plot. It's called an opinion. I thought Justice League was a more fun movie than TLJ. TALK may have had a better director, but it wasn't enough to save it from the writing. Justice League suffered heavily from studio interference. Justice League is not more fun. The acting and writing was terrible and the CGI was a joke. Steppenwolf was a terrible villain and Aquaman was awful. Some of that is true of JL...and it's still better than TLJ.

I can get behind Superman attacking Cyborg, Aquaman, and Flash because he's never met them before, but Diana and Bruce? Why? Bruce did set out to kill him in BvS, but Clark didn't, he tried to get him to stop and listen and once he did he saved Martha from Luthor's mercenaries. The two immediately got along and with Diana they formed a pretty effective unit to stop Doomsday despite their lack of teamwork. He has no reason to attack either of them. You really need to pay attention when you watch movies. Superman was just revived so his memory is still foggy. He turns around there was Cyborg, Flash, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman standing there. Cyborg fires a pulse cannon at Superman so Superman's natural instinct is to fight back. Superman does that by shooting a heat vision blast at Cyborg, but Cyborg blocks it. Then Diana tells Aquaman that they need to restrain Superman. So Aquaman charges Superman and Superman swats him away like a fly. Then Diana tries to lasso Superman. So again, Superman's natural instinct is to fight back against Diana. As for Batman, like I said, Superman was just revived so his memory was still foggy and coming back in bits and pieces. He probably remembered Batman trying to kill him but didn't remember afterwards. That's why he grabbed Batman. The real explanation here is lazy writing. No, I just explained it to you above. Your explanation would only work if we had seen it in the movie MCU fans may need everything spelled out for them, but not everything needs to be shown to know that it happened. For example, in BvS when Lex sees the Bat-signal in the sky, he calls someone on his cell phone and says "The Knight has arrived". The next scene shows Lois going down an escalator and the Russian is at the bottom waiting for Lois. Then Lois is in the helicopter being flown to the roof of the LexCorp building. There was no scene showing who was on the other end of the call that Lex made and no scene showing Lex telling the Russian "Kidnap Lois and bring her to the roof of LexCorp now". But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to connect the dots and figure out that the person on the other end of Lex's call was the Russian and Lex had told the Russian to take Lois to the roof of the LexCorp building. since we didn't and the fact that in BvS Bruce's supply of kryptonite was extremely limited I don't think the scenario is too likely. Wow1 You MCU fans really do need everything spelled out for you. I'll explain it to you slowly. Remember the scene when Superman killed Doomsday? How did Superman kill Doomsday? That's right, Superman killed Doomsday with the kryptonite spear that Batman made. Now what do you think happened to the kryptonite spear after Superman killed Doomsday? Do you think Batman just left the kryptonite spear lying around the same way that the Avengers just left all that Chitauri technology around for Adrian Toomes to salvage (until Tony Stark's Damage Control decided that they wanted to hog all that Chitauri technology for themselves)? Or do you think that Batman might have kept the kryptonite spear in case there was ever another Kryptonian threat (especially since it appeared that Superman was dead and wouldn't be around to fight against any other Kryptonian threats)? The way Lex acted in BvS, the way he was presented when the authorities came for him, and how he spoke to Batman in his cell clearly indicates that he was exposed to some pretty strong stuff in that ship The scout ship contained the Kryptonian archives, which had information on thousands of planets. So yes, that's why Lex appeared to know so much information about Steppenwolf. Leia never flew, she used the force to pull her back to the ship. And some jedi have used the force to such extreme degrees in past Star Wars related media - comics, tv, games, books, etc. I don't read Star Wars comics or novels or watch the animated TV shows or play the games. I only go by the movies. 7 previous movies (including Rogue One) and no Jedi had ever done that before. Like I said, moving lightsabers or levitating rocks or creating electric blasts is 1 thing, but flying through space like that is like Superman or Green Lantern territory. And not just flying through space, but how is she even still alive in space. There's no air in space, yet she didn't suffocate at all. It's not Poe's fault DJ betrayed Finn and Rose, he didn't tell them to find him the one who told them his identity was Maz Kanata who did. Regardless if Poe didn't tell them to find Benicio del Toro, it was Poe who sent them on that unauthorized mission which resulted in Benicio del Toro betraying them. If Poe hadn't disobeyed his superiors, then that doesn't happen. So it is Poe's fault. You also miss the point of what the story was trying to say - both sides of a war can make good and bad decisions, there is no clear white and black in all of it. Nobody has all the answers and can fix everything - which is why Rey's hopes for Kylo to turn to the light failed, and why despite Kylo's hopes Rey didn't go to the Empire. I am not going to get into your "Cap is an evil, bloodthirsty tyrant!" crap, you've been called out before on this and proven to be a fool who must be either trolling or has serious issues. I'm not a troll. And you obviously know I'm right. That's why you won't answer the question of how Cap refusing to submit to more oversight after the Avengers caused the deaths of dozens of people in that building is any different than if the police refused to submit to more oversight if they get in a shootout with a criminal in a crowded market and dozens of people get killed by the gunfire. I'm 100% correct and haven't been proven wrong yet when I say that the reason Cap refuses to submit to more oversight and refuses to be held accountable is because he's a power-hungry tyrant who doesn't want to have to answer to the people, plain and simple.

DC-Fan it is quite obvious that you are a troll, its apparent by how ignorant and egotistical you come off as, in addition to occasionally being very rude and antagonistic towards others. You are either mentally ill or you are lazy person with too much free time on their hands who wants to get people riled up online. But I'll play along, just a little... Make up your mind - So its okay for you to come up with explanations based on assumptions on what happened in a DC film, but if anyone does so with an MCU film or in this case Star Wars The Last Jedi they are wrong because every single tiny detail needs to be presented? Again, make up your mind, this is why people call you biased on many occasion. Yes, you explained it, and guess what? It still doesn't make the writing any better, it's still fairly simplified and forced in, in other words - lazy. Is it Superman's fault that Smallville got destroyed in Man of Steel? Yes, because he attacked Zod and pushed him into a heavily populated area when he could've kept him on the farm. Neither Zod or his cronies desired going into town, they just wanted the codex. The difference between Superman and Poe Dameron is that Poe Dameron wasn't in total control of the situation and wasn't present when Rose and Finn met with DJ, DJ wasn't even his suggestion to find, Maz told them about him. Poe only can share partial blame, but not all, his intentions were right but neither he nor Finn or Rose knew DJ at all and only went by Maz's word, and Maz is a trusted figure in their eyes. Smallville's destruction, however, is all on Superman's because he knew where he was taking the fight to and he knew the consequences of what would happen, yet he did it anyway and it left many hurt. Poe was disobeying orders because he disagreed with the politics of the situation and thought they would be at a disadvantage of the Empire, Superman just got a temper tantrum and let his emotions get the better of his judgement. The current wave of video games, comics, novels, and TV shows are canon with the Star Wars universe, and the force has been used in similar extremes, and since Leia has connection with it and does learn more about it in the tie-in material that doesn't make what she performed in TLJ as a plot-hole, its just something that will be expanded upon later. Furthermore, Star Wars is science fantasy, it is not rooted deeply in the physics of our universe - which is why there are explosions and sound in outer space. Oh, and once again - Leia didn't fly, she pulled herself back to the ship, there's a difference. No, you are not absolutely right. The fact that you are literally the only person on the internet who is saying so speaks volumes on how far off and how anti-Marvel you are. I'm not gonna get into that "Captain America is an evil tyrant!" trap all over again - so find yourself alternative amusement for your New Year's.

It only made $3 million in the past week overseas. It'll drop big once New Years over too so I don't think it's too likely.

That was just plain, vanilla sarcasm; it wasn't particularly smart although, I could see how one might get confused. You may not have said it was destined to underperform but, didn't you say something to the effect of 'it's not unexpected that it underperformed?' The net result was you were not surprised - at any stage in the process - that JL floundered. Please feel free to add your precise verbiage to your reply. I would hate to misquote you in the future.

No, I said it was never going to make as much money as Batman vs Superman. That matched estimates and projections anyway. That Justice League has not outgrossed Batman vs Superman is no surprise for many reasons, the main one being there wasn't nearly as much hype for it at all. That it didn't outgross Man of Steel though and what it actually has made is a big surprise. Had this and Wonder Woman swapped grosses it would have been closer to expectations.
