What war? Marvel has clearly established itself as number one on film. It’s not even close.

There is a huge international fan war going on between DC/Marvel fans. They troll each other on any post that's CB releated. From movies to animation to video games to tv... It can get real ugly, really quick

 

[Flemm]

That's too bad, really. As fans we should want the DC movies to be on par with what Marvel is doing.

It's not like rooting for a sports team. But anyway, yeah, it can get ugly.

 

[C. Lee]

The fan wars are the height of stupidity. We should hope that all comic book movies are made well and do well at the theater.

I’m suggesting the ‘war’ is over.

Actually that's been the forums around here. t:

This.

Not a chance. Marvel fans will likely bring up JL's mediocre box office numbers every chance they get and then DC fans will retaliate...etc The fan war will never end... There's even fan accounts with thousands of followers, dedicated to bashing the other side.

Anyway, is there any updated numbers for JL? Praying for that 40m number

In the material world, the war never even started.
Marvel is a brand worldwide, they merchandise electric fans, t-shirts and baseball caps with just Marvel written on them, no characters, and they sell wonderfully, believe you me.
Meanwhile DC is a non entity, Batman is. Even Supes and Wondy lag seriously behind.
I know in the USA the situation is not so dire but multiple disappointments on the silver screen will not help.

 

[Silver Surfer]

War is over, Marvel won and it wasn't close. And to be honest DC fans aren't as riled up as they were after BvS or even SS. I think most of them have come to terms with it as well.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Deadline is saying 38.5 for Friday with their second update. This is definitely going under $100M over the weekend.

The number crunchers at BOT are saying even a 40m isn’t enough to cross $100m. Estimates seem to range between $89-98m.

 

[AlluAllu]

The fan war will be over soon. What's there to fight about after Justice League? The controversial DCEU is soon a thing of the past.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Over at BoT, now they are saying that 95 mil might not be possible now, the bottom really fell out for DC here.

Easy. Lets not go too extreme.

Lots of DC fans willing to give this movie a look-see regardless of review.

 

[jmc]

At what point does it get labled a flop? Relatively to the type of movie it is of course.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Problem is they're the only ones who are, the GA is not responding at all to this.

I think Superman's value as has been dramatically diluted. People have held on to the fact that he's the most iconic, recognisable Superhero on earth. And that may still be true. But he peaked from World War 2 onwards up until the first few Chris Reeves films in terms of sheer box office and commercial value. I feel there are quite a few more heroes who have more value and relevance to the wider public now than Supes, who is sort of a really famous relic at this point.

There's not enough of them to even make a noticeable dent.

 

[Tony Stark]

With a B+ cinemascore you can pretty much guarantee a low internal multiplier for the weekend. No way does this go over 100M.

Yeah, worldwide his S-diamond is a lot more marketable but it is almost detached from the character and more a shorthand for superman, lowercase S.
Confront it with Spidey's or Batman's insignias, or Cap's shield or the Ark Reactor, those clearly represent their characters in the collective imagination.

I am convinced that Supes could be as relevant as Cap, just give him the movie he deserves, dammit.

100% truth.

 

[Silver Surfer]

750 looks more and more unlikely, this might have trouble getting past Cap 2 at 714

You are right. North and South America are a completely different case from Asia. I remember a report stating Spider-Man, Batman and Wonder Woman are the highest selling heroes, merchandise wise. DC's superhero girls has become a billion dollar franchise for DC and is predicted to rival Disney princesses soon... Teen Titans is also really popular and the Arrowverse has become a billion dollar franchise as well...

As for brands, yeah Marvel has done a great job of building up their name! Most casuals seem to think all superheroes belong to Marvel lol

It's a shame that DC seems to be struggling in the movie department (aside from Wonder Woman)! Sub 100m for JL is embarassing!
