Box-Office: 'Justice league' Heading for a Lower-Than-Expected $95m Opening


Warner Bros.-DC's "Justice League" is heading for a respectable -- but hardly blockbuster -- opening weekend of about $95 million at 4,051 North American locations, early estimates showed Friday. The first Friday estimates for "Justice League" are well under the studio's recent guidance, which had been in the $110 million range.Should it come in at the top of current estimates, “Justice League” might finish the weekend in the same range as “The Fate of the Furious” — which launched in April to $98.7 million as the seventh-largest opening of the year.
The six films that have cracked the $100 million opening mark this year are Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” at $174.8 million, Disney-Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” at $146.5 million, Warner-New Line’s “It” at $123.4 million, Disney-Marvel’s “Thor: Ragnarok” at $122.7 million, Sony-Marvel’s “Spider-Man: Homecoming” at $117 million, and Warner-DC’s “Wonder Woman” at $103.3 million. A total of 48 titles have topped $100 million in North America in their debut frames.

Justice League” notched the fifth-biggest Thursday preview of 2017 with $13 million, following “Guardians 2,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Homecoming,” and “Ragnarok.” That figure was also $2 million more than “Wonder Woman’s” Thursday night number in June.
