It may not quite be the box office smash that Warner Bros. was hoping for, but the DC superhero blockbuster Justice League has broken the half billion mark at the worldwide box office in its third weekend, with the film pushing its global haul to $567.4 million.
Domestically, Justice League retained second place this weekend behind Coco, with a weekend of $16.6 million pushing its North American total to $197.3 million. The Zack Snyder-directed blockbuster has added a further $370.1 million from international markets.
Justice League still has some work to do if it is to avoid becoming the lowest grossing instalment of the DCEU, with Man of Steel sitting on $668 million. Warner Bros. will surely be hoping that the DC heroes can shift a few more tickets before Star Wars: The Last Jedi sucks the life out of the rest of the box office later this month.
