User blog:Lover of the Muse/The DC/Marvel Movies War

Justice Leage wrapped up it's domestic run as so concludes the latest chapter in the war between Marvel and DC. How did DC fare in this latest battle?

The Cold Hard Numbers
I'm going to be relying on box office numbers to explain how royally Warner Brothers screwed up.

Justice League is the lowest grossing DCEU movie to date, both at the domestic box office and worldwide. The movie's domestic gross wasn't even big enough to turn a profit, the Justice League's budget was 300 million dollars and it earned 229.02 million dollars domestically. Justice League grossed 655.95 million worldwide so overall it was profitable but compared to the worldwide gross of the other DCEU movies, Justice League is still the least successful.

To compare this to the MCU, the first Avengers movie had a domestic gross of 623.28 million and grossed 1.52 billion worldwide during it's theatrical run. The first Avengers movie holds the #1 record for both domestic and worldwide box office in superhero films.

More recently Black Panther has made 610.05 million domestically and it's run in American theaters isn't even over yet, Black Panther made more money at American theaters in 4 days than Justice League made in it's entire domestic run. Worldwide Black Panther has made 1.19 billion dollars and again his theatrical run isn't finished yet.

To put Justice League's preformance in perspective with the rest of the DCEU. Man of Steel is second to last, earning 291.05 mill domestically and 668 million worlwide. Wonder Woman was the DCEU's highest grossing movie domestically at 412.46 million and made 817.01 worldwide. Batman V Superman had the highest worldwide gross at 868.16 million

Marvel's victory
Marvel has been winning the comic book movie war for some time now,  Justice League should have been the film that helped turn things around but instead it revealed how far DC had fallen.
