At the end of the day? Do we know roughly? You aren't allowed to judge the success/failure of a DCU movies like you would any normal movie so the answer is - it made 11 trillitysquillion dollars.  |

At the end of the day? Do we know roughly? Well, it grossed $657 million, so if the movie cost about $250 million, then it broke even |

You need not be aware of any accounting principles and bookkeeping rules, but underperform is not the same as flopping. A movie with approx 250 budget costs does not flop when making +660M not even including earnings from other non-theatrical sources such as product sales streaming etc. Thus in the long run JL must even have made money. Maybe we will never know.

Probably not that much. This image got around a lot because it came from Forbes. They estimated that it was going to lose $50 million but that was based on the expectation that it was going to gross $635 million.  Well it did better than expected and finished with $657 million so it may not have lost a significant amount. And seeing as Wonder Woman made $300 million profit, DC still came out of the year with a significant profit. |

And seeing as Wonder Woman made $300 million profit, DC still came out of the year with a significant profit. So, it was going to lose 50 millions. It made 22 million more than projected of which the studio only gets part. So, still lost between 30-40 millions. Wow! What baffles me is that, it is common knowledge that with the re-shots the budged of JL went to 300 millions. Then you got some fans trying to bring it down to 250. What's the purpose of lying to themselves (because they are not fooling anyone else) and being delusional? It is probable that JL hadn't even lost any money when everything is accounted for, but why change numbers to fit their distorted reality? I would never understand DC fans... |

The box office was disappointing but in the long run it is making money and will continue to do so.

"Better than expected"? Are you insane? ....If the above image from Forbes has an estimated Worldwide gross of $635 million (235 domestic and 400 international) and then it went on to gross $657 million....then yes it did better than they expected. |

That estimate was made several weeks after the movie's release date. Most people's expectations of how a movie is going to perform are stated before it's opening night. I guess you are just different, huh?  |

That estimate was made several weeks after the movie's release date. Right and they used that estimate to create the image that was in my above post where they also estimated it was going to lose $50 million. However, the reality was that it did better than their estimate thus making their estimated loss, lower than they originally stated. Have some common sense. Think. |

It's you who needs some common sense, bro. You can't go around stating a movie - "did better than expected" - when what you actually mean is that it exceeded the expectations of one person who made an estimate of it's likely worldwide final gross based upon data compiled over the first few weeks of it's release. You are being misleading and inaccurate. |

You are being misleading and inaccurate. I don't need to state that because it was abundantly clear that I was referring to the estimates and profit margins given by Forbes. My post only referred to that one person in the first place. You simply didn't comprehend what I said, got excited and jumped the gun. I'll simplify it further. After the movie released, Forbes made predictions for its final gross which was $635 million. Based on that estimate they also estimated it would lose $50 million. However it made more than what they had expected which means the loss is less than they expected. So to answer the OP's question, based on that alone and nothing else, it lost less than $50 million. |

Well, it grossed $657 million, so if the movie cost about $250 million, then it broke even I thought that it cost $300M? Yes, I think it's $300M due to the reshoots. That does not include the cost of marketing though. Unless we get access to the books it's hard to say. WB doesn't get all the profits the movie made, but it will make money from the DVD and merchandise sales. But as the lowest grossing DCEU film it is a financial disappointment. |

Dude, I understood what you meant the first time you bothered to qualify it. Then why would you say that I'm insane for pointing out that the movie made more money than the gross they expected it to make? That's a simple fact. If they made a prediction and the movies gross exceeded that prediction then it did better than they expected. |

So, yes, better than expected. |
