Batman Vs Superman Movie Rakes in USD 424 Mn at the Box Office on Opening Weekend

The newly released ‘Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice’ Film has raked in 424 million US Dollars at the box office worldwide on it’s opening weekend. The winning for the film comes as a surprise in its first five days of review where it had recorded poor reviews. According to the analysts, this is the fourth highest ever global total where a total of 170.1 million US Dollars came from the United States of America and 15.5 million pounds from the United Kingdom.

The Warner Bros studio before the Dawn of Justice Film had been going through a continuous series of failures that have expensively impacted on its operations. Some of its worst performing works that negatively affected it financially came from the Jupiter Ascending as well as Pan.

According to the management, the DC Comics adaptation that had taken the studio a total of 250 million US Dollars was the second highest international opening after the much publicized Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. For a movie to be ranked as either highest or lowest in the globe, critics often play a very critical role. For the case of Dawn of Justice, however, critics gave very few reviews on its first five days but fans seemed to be in love with it.

Commenting on the turn of events, Jeff Goldstein, the head of distribution for Warner Bros, that there was a disconnection between what critics wrote and the fan interest as well as the fan response toward the film.

Dawn of Justice had been  praised by fans around the globe especially in the United States after its first screening in New York during mid-March, but received less reviews from critics and many people thought that this would eventually affect its sales. The film opened on more than 40,000 screens in a total of 66 markets where a total of 16,000 screens came from China, 4,242 came from the United States, 1,701 from the United Kingdom and 1,696 from South Korea.
