Justice League Tracking At $110-120 Million Opening Weekend

Warner Bros./DC’s Justice League hit tracking this morning and as you can imagine it will be able to leap over box office records in a single bound. Early tracking shows the DC superhero ensemble opening around $110M-$120M in U.S./Canada. Fandango reported that tickets went on sale last night. These are industry estimates for Justice League. They do not come from Warner Bros.

Justice League has a 56% definite choice, 15% first choice and 26% unaided overall, which are very strong numbers. Justice League is tracking ahead of Wonder Woman (which opened at $103.2M) and it has more superheros in the movie. Disney/Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok is currently eating up some of Justice League‘s projection mojo. But once Thor: Ragnarok opens, Justice League‘s projection could shoot up according to box office experts. The revised estimated for Thor: Ragnarok is in the $125M vicinity this morning on industry tracking. This is up from $100M projection from a week ago.

In Fandango polls, it’s Gal Gadot and Jason Momoa aka Aquaman that moviegoers want to see in the Nov. 17 release. Eighty-six percent are excited to see Wonder Woman again in the film and 89% identify themselves as DC fans per Fandango.

The previous DC ensemble movie Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice opened to $166M and legged out to a $330.3M domestic take and $873.3M global. This summer, DC’s Patty Jenkins-helmed Wonder Woman hit opening records and live-action global records as the highest grossing title directed by a woman ($821.6M). Stateside this year, Wonder Woman at $412.5M is the second highest grossing film of the year.
