Thursday Night Previews: Justice League’s $13 million Doesn’t Top Thor

November 17, 2017

Justice League

Justice League will have no trouble earning first place this weekend, but it looks like it won’t match Thor: Ragnarok’s opening. The latest in the DCEU opened with $13 million in previews, compared to $14.5 million for Thor: Ragnarok. Assuming the films have the same legs, then Justice League will earn $110 million during its opening weekend, which is a little lower than our prediction. Unfortunately, its reviews are significantly weaker than the Ragnarok’s and that’s going to hurt its legs. I still think it will top $100 million, but it will be closer to Wonder Woman’s $103 million opening weekend than to our original prediction.

Wonder managed $740,000 in previews. This is a mere fraction of what Justice League managed, but it should have much better legs due to its target demographic and its reviews. I predicted a $16 million opening weekend and I’m sticking with that prediction, for now.

The Star also had previews last night, but no numbers have been released so far.
