Justice League is tracking behind the box office takings of Man of Steel at the North American box office.
While Justice League brought in $93 million during its opening weekend – a big number for most films – this was still considered a disappointment when comparing to recent superhero movies and the other films in the DCEU.
This figure was way behind Batman v Superman’s $166 million and even behind Man of Steel ($128 million).
Unfortunately for Justice League, the film is still trailing Man of Steel – which is the lowest grossing DCEU film so far. Justice League has at this point accumulated $174 million in North America after 11 days (via box office mojo) and Man of Steel, at the same time of release, had collected $214 million.
Man of Steel ultimately went on to make $291 million at the domestic box office, comfortably in last place behind Suicide Squad’s $325 million. It will certainly be interesting to see where Justice League ends up falling.
It should go without saying that WB and DC would not have been hoping for their marquee team-up bonanza to be the series’ lowest earner.
Thing are looking better abroad, however, as Justice League is on track to best Man of Steel in international markets.
