New Batman v Superman Images Revealed - Tickets Now On Sale!

New Batman v Superman Images Revealed - Tickets Now On Sale!

On Track For Big Opening Weekend

By Alex Burns



EW have revealed some excellent new snaps from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the one above is particularly exciting! Tickets are now available for Warner Bros Pictures epic superhero clash and we have absolutely picked ours up. If any of you happen to be at the midnight showing on March 24th at the IMAX in Uxbridge then be sure to say hi!



Reports in the US are indicating the film is on track for an opening weekend in the realms of $140 million. These numbers are in a state of flux but with the film opening worldwide for the March 25th weekend (bank holiday here in the UK) it should translate into an estimated $350 million worldwide opening. Not too shabby but sceptics have noted it's somewhat off the pace with other contemporary superhero films including both Avengers films which clocked in around $395 million. For me I think those numbers are a win considering the only film audiences have had to build up to this movie was Man of Steel back in 2013. That film managed a respectable $668 million back then and when you factor in the box office might of Batman coming in for Dawn of Justice then you can understand why Warner Bros will be hoping to crack $1 billion with this picture.




Provided the drop off isn't steep after that opening weekend and audiences respond well, then there's no reason the movie cannot hit that billion dollar mark. I'm very optimistic, there's a lot of naysayers floating around the interweb right now seemingly making it their number one priority to bad-mouth a movie they've never seen. Keep an open mind people! I truly believe comic fans will get a thrill out of this film, in fact I'd go so far to say that Snyder has tapped into comic book lore so much that it may even alienate some casual audiences who have seen a Marvel movie or two and now believe they're experts on everything superhero. Not looking to flame but let's just enjoy the moment, it's Batman and Superman for Pete's sake!




The flick is out March 25th guys and gals, get on it!
