Really don't 100% understand it but articles I've read are saying it needs to hit 700+ million to break even and its on track to end somewhere in the 600 million range with how they predict trends. Hopefully Thanksgiving weekend can give it an unexpected boost though.

I'm guessing JL reaches the 700m. WW hit 821m worldwide and JL is already at 286m.

if your movie needs to make $700 million to break even, maybe making profits are not your biggest worry.

You don't, at all, understand how film economics work...

People hating on this movie are just following the flock. This movie was very entertaining and a comic book adaptation. I highly suggest you go see it and just enjoy the flick for what t is.

Only thing is the pacing and lack of character dev. She rushing everyone on screen but still solid movie

The bolded portion is why I will wait until this is free to watch. I don't pay money to see 'splosions alone.

I had serious doubts beforehand. Thought BvS was complete shit. But I liked this one. Gives me hope for DC future...
Exactly. This movie isn't perfect but definitely worth a watch. I also though Batman vs. Superman and Suicide Squad were complete shit.

I also didn't think WW was that good. It was a 7.5/10 movie that got great reception because it had a strong female lead and all other DC's movies at that time had been terrible.

So definitely not a DC fan boy but glad I watched this in theatres. I would give Justice League 8/10. Not perfect but a fun watch.

Every comic book is mainly explosions lol it’s entertaining and worth seeing on a big screen. It def feels like a justice league unlimited episode.

You can have plot cohesion, pacing, and characterization in a comic book movie.

Which they obviously do in this movie. It’s just simply being overly critical just to follow the crowd. They could do a better job sure but it’s a better movie than ant man, most of iron man films, probably even on par with Spider-Man

I suspect this movie will go down like the Revenge of the Sith movie. Lots of people liked it but upon some more reflection they will figure out it wasn't really all that great.

I sincerely hope the studio doesn't share your attitude. "Waahh, the critics are mean" is going to get them nowhere as far as righting this ship goes for future movies. Still a bit pissed that Affleck appears to be on the way out, as he was a pleasant surprise in BvS.

It doesn't matter if it's "great".

Either you enjoyed it or didn't.

NONE of these motherfucking comic films, whether Marvel or DC, are "great", with the exception of The Dark Knight, which was a masterpiece for many, many reasons.

Go back and watch Iron Man from 2008.

It does not hold up.

Righhhht cause that what I’m doing. Critics are dumb and irrelevant for the most part. The studio is correcting the ship as this is the best movie to date for that universe. Snyder was the worst choice for the franchise but due to him losing a child recently I’m gonna day he’s no longer gonna be with them going forward. Ben has been a great Batman I think, he’s been the best Bruce Wayne by far. They are def setting up a Batman after Bruce Wayne which will be refreshing.

This movie was by no means as jarring as BvS. It would have been nice to see standalone films but DC had to just rush them to compete. Any justice league animated- dc fan should go see this movie.

Well, even Nolan's trilogy had its issues. Go back and watch those horrible fight scenes. They were poorly choreographed.

And the Joker was awesome but an anarchist nutjob would never have been able to execute a single one of his plans successfully with such precision given the absurd amount of moving parts.

Also, one of my favorite scenes- "you're gonna love me". Seriously, they're in a room of like 100 people. No one made any sort of peep or exclamation when Bats happened to show up behind Joker? Everyone just kept their mouths shut? Oooookkk.
