With Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice suffering a heavy drop at the box office in its second weekend, Warner Bros. executive Jeff Goldstein spoke out this week to suggest that the studio has “no concerns” about the film’s performance.
Well, the studio will be celebrating today, as the film has now crossed the $700 million mark worldwide, becoming the first Superman movie to reach that milestone, and the third Batman after The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises – both of which went on to gross over $1 billion. This coming weekend will likely give a good indication whether Dawn of Justice will have enough in the tank to reach that magical mark.
Do you think Batman v Superman will earn over a billion? Let us know in the comments below…
