![]() Maybe it’ll open higher, but it’s more of a known element, and it’s merely the second time a gang of interconnected superheroes has teamed up to save the world onscreen. In this scenario, assuming the first wave of reviews are at least kind enough to offer hope for those burned by Suicide Squad and Dawn of Justice, we’re probably looking at an opening of between $133 million ( Suicide Squad) and Batman v Superman ($166m). The return of Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman (coming off her blockbuster solo movie) gives the film that bit of event movie buzz beyond merely the idea that it’s a Justice League movie. Whatever the case, the cast gels together, the action works, the film looks good and plays well for adults and kids. Maybe it’s a grand culmination of the DC Films story thus far, or maybe it’s just a rockin’ good time with our favorite Super Friends kicking ass onscreen together. It combines the “melt your eyeballs off in IMAX” visuals and ponderous Sturm und Drang of a Zack Snyder movie with the clever and quirky character interaction and emotional oomph a Joss Whedon film. In this “Woohoo!” scenario, Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon’s Justice League (with the help of the likes of Chris Terrio and Geoff Johns) is a big, splashy, crowd-pleasing action adventure fantasy. Mark my words, if Henry Cavill’s resurrected Kal-El shows up rocking perfectly trimmed Mortdecai-worthy facial hair, then Justice League is almost sure to clear $1 billion… in North America… on opening weekend. Oh, and this is very important: You should automatically increase all discussed box office figures by at least 25% if the final cut of Justice League contains Henry Cavill’s Superman in costume with his Mission: Impossible 6 mustache intact. As always, this is not an ironclad prediction, and we have no idea how the film will play or be received at this early date.
