to be a success it has to make more than a billion

Adjust Star Wars for inflation if you're going to include it there.
The funny thing is two of those films featured characters virtually unknown by the majority of audiences and the Spiderman return was considered disappointing by Sony.
A movie with Batman and Superman in the title which is supposed to be the tentpole movie to build a new franchise failing to gross $1 billion is a flop of monumental proportions.

Why do DCCucks act like Batman and Superman were unknown properties when the last 2 Batman movies from Nolan each made over $1 billion at the box office? And the Christoper Reeves's Superman (if you adjust for inflation) made close to $1.5 billion.
In terms of cultural relevance & popularity, there is no bigger superheroes than Batman and Superman in the comic book universe.

BvS had a higher production budget than all the others.
Comparing the amount of box office revenue it's generated isn't the same as comparing the gross profit.
In that regard, it certainly didn't do well...
>>68114034
Deadpool's budget was like $58 million, BVS's was like $250 million
>>68114034
It's not a flop financially but it's well short of their lofty expectations.
>DC fans don't know what net gross means
Shocker

They were expecting 700m at the box office, if they do the whole R rated cut, I'm sure it will exceed their expectations greatly.
The last 2 Batman movies made more than a billion each.
This one will be lucky to cross 900 mil.

The pitiful peons at Marvel have underestimated the power of DC one time too many. The "Marvel Cinematic Universe". Huh. A shoddily shot, messily put together series of soulless and artless wastes of celluloid designed to appeal to the base intellects of moronic manchildren still dreaming of becoming powerful as they waste their lives away masterbating to images of Black Widow.
Only a fool and a weakling of mind could gain satisfaction from watching poorly animated CGI trade weightless and impactless punches while trading quips a severely mentally retarded Thai ladyboy would find beneath him/her.
DC understand cinéma. They understand kino. DC know how to build shade and light in a performance, how to engage the minds of true enlightened souls. DC have redefined not just superhero films, but the entire film industry itself.
Mentally challenged Marvel fanboys can only begin to grasp the tectonic shift in filmmaking that has been unleashed. Critics and reviewers fail to recognize a movie far ahead of its time once again, crying on their blogs about lack of snark and quipping - failing to recognize a literal masterpiece as it unfolds before them.
The public have responded. The entire filmmaking industry has been shaken to its core. DC have changed the game utterly - a new landscape is carved, a beauty is born, a God walks among men.

the problem is apart from the ~$250 million budget for production, the ~$150-$200 million additional for advertisement
they say they need to gross around $800-1000 million to be profitable, that being said, on the long run with merchandise, and licensing for TV they'll get more money, but that takes long time
it was not a "flop" but it wasn't very profitable either, even worse, they wasted the "wow" batman vs superman factor and now are dubious if wonder woman will make profit and will likely have severe budget cuts, not to mention it's unlikely Justice League earns more from Batman Vs Superman
Even Marvel has issues with side characters movies such as Thor, which had a budget of $250~ m and box office of $650m, they said it made a $140m~ profit, but that could easily been a flop if the movie had 20% less viewers
Also Antman, they went with a $130m budget instead of $200m one and it grossed $500m, they had to play it safe
