Justice League failed to top $100 million domestically in its opening three day weekend earning an estimated $93.8 million. The film won the weekend but fell short of expectations which saw it earning between $100 and $110 million. The film earned $13 million on Thursday previews which was $2 million more than Wonder Woman. That film earned $103.2 million. It’s the lowest opening for any of the DC Extended Universe films so far.

But, things weren’t all bad as the film also brought in $185.5 million from 65 foreign markets to bring its worldwide total to $278.8 million. The film had the second largest opening ever for a Warner Bros. film in China and it has yet to open in Japan. That happens on November 23. With a reported budget of $300 million, the film will need to earn about $600 million to break even.

Reviews of the film were mixed with a B+ CinemaScore. The audience was 58% male and 69% over the age of 25. We predict the film will earn between $200 and $250 million domestically with $500-$600 at foreign markets to be around $750 million total, a number that’s nothing to sneeze at.

This coming week sees the release of Coco which will likely bump Justice League from the top of the box office and add to a narrative of its failure.

In second place was another new film doing some counter programming. Wonder earned an estimated $27.1 million. That beats expectations and the film earned an A+ CinemaScore.

In third place was Thor: Ragnarok which brought in an additional $21.8 million domestically to bring that total to $247.4 million. It also added an estimated $24.1 million internationally to bring that total to $490.7 million and the worldwide total over $700 million. Worldwide the film has earned $738.1 million so far.

Daddy’s Home 2 dropped from second to fourth with $14.8 million to bring its total domestically to $50.6 million.

Rounding out the top five was Murder on the Orient Express which earned an estimated $13.8 million to bring its domestic total to $51.7 million in its second week.

When it comes to other comic adaptation at the theater….

Kingsman: The Golden Circle came in at #19 improving from #24. It earned an estimated $175,000 to bring its domestic total to $99.7 million. Worldwide the film has earned $393.3 million which is about $21 million short of the original.

My Friend Dahmer saw success moving from #32 last week to #20 this week and earning an estimated $165,000 while it has expanded to 75 theaters. The film has brought in an estimated $485,675.

We’re back in an hour to further dive into this year’s comic adaptations.
