It must have been so quick or during a scene where the audience was loud I did not catch this. Pretty sure it was in the chamber with the Amazons, but not quite sure.

You said China was weak. Wonder Woman was at $38M that first weekend and Justice League came in at %51.7M. So not sure about a weak China. As far as International Box Office falling behind, hard to tell. Analyst estimates on a wide scale like that versus final results I can see differences coming up.

punksdropdirtysrh Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I enjoyed the way the movie began, with that short interview with Superman. Then the opening song really killed my buzz. It was cringeworthy for me. Stop with the cry baby stuff. It’s sad that Superman died, but man...let’s just get to the action. i enjoyed the opening Batman scene, loved the shot of him crouched on that statue in the background. Beautiful shot. That’s exactly what Batman is supposed to look like to criminals. Creepy and mysterious. I dig the Affleck costume. All the performances were good in my opinion. A better villain would have possibly made it an A movie for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outperforming the most successful of the DC modern movies by $13M is not weak. But keep digging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there an article that broke out by region and country how they tallied that estimate? If so, then you compare to what the current estimate states. I just ask you post the results, as that would be interesting to see where analyst estimates may have over-projected. Meanwhile, final numbers will land tomorrow.

So if WB is rebuilding based on the response received from BvS (which then has led to much hesitation and questioning of DC), what leads you to believe the BvS estimate applies now?

Yup, he is definitely mentioned in the movie. It is later on than that, though, if I recall correctly. I think it is when he battles the JL the first time and talks about Darkseid and taking his place as a New God. I may have to catch it a second time to confirm when he is mentioned exactly.

AnthonyTheAbyss Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 16 minutes ago, Chip Cataldo said: He was mentioned by Steppenwolf, but he might never have a film to appear in. 10 minutes ago, Bosco685 said: I can't see them skipping Darkseid. Not with the appearance of Steppenwolf. I think the initial plan was to have Darkseid to be like Thanos...an enemy so over power it would take the gathering of DC super heroes to defeat him. After JL I think they gave themselves a way out of going in that direction. The second end credit basically confirmed that. Saw the movie last night. Plenty of reasons to love it. Plenty of reasons to hate it. I'll leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I thought the movie was very well done, and my wife and kids loved it as well. You can see how they are setting things up nicely for future solo films. I did not really notice the CGI'd out moustache issue, and my wife and kids said they did not notice it at all. I guess it is only comic nerds that read the fansites that did. That being said, I really liked the way they used Superman. This was the first time in the Snyder-DCCU that he was used properly. It was great to see. Overall a great first step in a new direction and a much better film than what the underqualified talking heads', err critics', scores were. One funny tidbit - after the mid credits scene half of the theatre emptied even though they should have been well aware of an end credits scene as well.

You're probably right. Most of the Steppenwolf battle scenes kinda bled together for me. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
