The first Box Office projections for Justice League are rolling in, and it’s going to be an odd one.
Box Office Pro is pegging Justice League to open at $150M with a final domestic haul of $330M. While this may not sound horrible, that puts the opening behind Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice which opened to $166M. The budget is currently unknown, but with the change in directors, extensive reshoots, marketing and so on… this is not great news.
With a meshing of director styles and scripts, this has the potential for a lot of issues, and if it misfires as badly as BvS, I think Warner Brothers is going to have to completely rethink the DC Extended Universe. Wonder Woman worked, everything else hasn’t. I was already thinking there was going to be a reset after this, and I think that may be why Flash has now become Flashpoint.
If you thought this wall messy before, get ready for the issues to be compounded.
