Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice may have a score of only 29% on Rotten Tomatoes, but moviegoers are clearly embracing Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel follow-up as it has passed the $500 million mark at the worldwide box office after just five days of release. The movie also managed to break a number of records this weekend, and this is a very impressive feat.
Batman v Superman has earned a whopping $193.3 million in North America and $308.6 million internationally for a total haul of $501.9 million. The question now of course is whether moviegoers have disagreed with the critics (as they’ve so often done with the Fast & Furious and Transformers franchises) or if the appeal of seeing these two heroes together on the big screen was just too much to resist. Honestly, it could just be a combination of both!
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Review
We’ll find out what kind of legs Batman v Superman has this coming weekend, and while those negative reviews have no doubt put a dent in its box office takings, it’s quickly becoming clear that they’re not going to halt Warner Bros.’ plans for a DC Films Universe!
“We’re so proud that ‘Batman v Superman’ has become the must-see event film of the season for fans the world over,” said Warner Bros. global distribution chief Veronika Kwan Vandenberg in a statement released earlier today. “These incredible numbers are building momentum for not only this movie, but for the upcoming slate of DC superhero films.”
The draw for me is Batman, but Ben as Batman just dosent seem right (to me anyway) never been a fan of superman, however I haven’t even seen the film yet
