LEVITIKUZ let it go trust me. Not worth it.
Maybe BvS needed Chris Pratt
Your why only applies if it is common for movies that fall in the same range as BvS. BvS got out paced by AoU, Avengers, and JW even though they opened to the same amount.

DarthSkywalker said:Then why did it do so well on Friday?
Again, they didn't open this on Easter weekend because they thought it would hurt the movie. It was meant to help, which it did.
Adding to my previous comments about editing this film. How I cut the Wayne murder scene. Start the movie with the Black Zero attack. Set the movie a couple of months after MoS, not 2 years etc.
Now I've put the Superman saving montage right after the BZ event. (with the title card between the BZ attack and Supes scene to break it up a bit).
This works a lot better.
Globally
That sounds like a great big improvement over the theatrical cut, and I really love the movie(but editing and pacing in the first half is one of my biggest issues with it).
Or a better director.
AoU was not similar. It made $25m more OW. JW made less in previews but the same Friday, and got bigger over the weekend. HP8 is a good comparison, and yep it fell hard. It also didn't make it $400m domestically. Made up for it in other ways of course.No my 'why' applies if it's a huge fan event movie that is going to have huge preview numbers from early ticket sales, the ones were fans line up and camp and such. I'm not sure JW is that.
Starwars and the first BvS is(I imagine HP7 as well). You find alot of movies with 27mill for midnight and let's see the friday to Sat.
As for AOU, it may not have been as bad but it was very similar.
As for Avengers, yea a monster hit. Clearly BvS isn't that. It's not Avatar either oh well.

Then why get pedantic over what this weekend "is"?So Easter boosted it? Yeah, I guess so, considering people did have that day off, and spring break, and such. Ok, I get that. I was just saying that I know that it didn't hurt the film.
Oh Jesus. Again with this. BvS did not have the 4th largest OW in history because FULL STOP. It opened in 66 markets day and date (more than any other CBM). Everyone else staggers their releases. Do you know what that means? China one weekend. UK another. US another. If you want to count best OW totals it's not even top 3 of CBMs let alone movies in general. And that's why it's going to look like such a monumental drop next weekend. And the next. And the next. They blew their load. Cinematic premature ejaculation. All that's left is shriveling, flaccid residuals and steep % drops.

BvS fell hard in the two biggest markets. The US and China.

Maybe it will drop hugely next weekend, maybe it wont. unless you have a time machine you cant say. It's more what you are hoping than what's set in stone. Please, calm the language and change the tone. you seem very upset.

"As will be the case domestically, how well the film performs next weekend in all these territories will be of vital importance when it comes to determining just how big a hit this will end up being. At this point, it looks as if Batman v Superman will become the 25th film to cross $1+ billion worldwide as The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is the only film to open with over $158 million domestically and not cross the $1 billion mark worldwide."
Maybe it will drop hugely next weekend in the way you predict, maybe it wont. unless you have a time machine you cant say. It's more what you are hoping than what's set in stone. Please, calm the language and change the tone. you seem very upset.
