It's sad. Not too long ago, experts were saying BVS was going to be the biggest film of 2016, but now it looks like CW or Rouge One might take that spot. CW is going to make over a billion easy...the question is how much more is it going to make, while SW, although it's a spin off, I think the moment they show Vader doing some cool stuff like fighting like we've never seen him before, that film has a chance to be huge. WB must be on suicide watch right now...and I don't mean they're watching the SS film.

Vader will be the poster boy for Rogue One. They'll market the hell out of him. $$$$$$$$$$

Yes, he'll be the new Jason Vorhess. People will go see the film just to watch Vader...

Well, we won't know until Sunday but if this movie bombs there a plenty of "untouchable" professionals at WB/DC who will soon learn the hard public way just how touchable they really are.
That axe is going to swing far, wide and deep.
No one will be safe....just ask Sony lol.
Not just Vader but allegedly
Rogue One could be huge.
Boba Fett as well.
Rogue One could be huge.

If WB is smart, they will market the crap out of Joker and Batman, because the general audience doesn't give a crap about Harley or any of the other characters in SS.
I wonder if they can do reshoots to add more batman into it

I must say I'm gobsmacked at how low this movie is getting. Considering the amount of extra time they put into making it good.
I've got my ticket for Sunday so ill wait to reserve judgement. I adored MOS so I'm hoping i still love it.

After Zach Snyder said that thing about the killing, I went and looked for the video. I dunno if this is the one he meant, but oh man, this is great.
Watch it.
I don't think the Penguin in Returns or the thugs killing themselves in Forever should count though.

I think it's too early to dismiss BvS from being the top grosser this year, among 2016 releases that is (majority of TFA's take still counts as 2016). There's just so much hype for this movie and features very iconic characters, it's hard to call it this early. Despite poor reviews, OW is still tracking in the range of $140M-$160M dom, and over $300M WW. I'm waiting to see that 2nd weekend drop, there's the off-chance that the GA ends up loving this movie despite the reviews, notably in overseas territories. However if I were a betting man, I'd say CW wins out with BvS and Rogue One battling it out for 2nd place. Rogue One is not gonna do TFA numbers, as it doesn't have the halo effect of releasing after a long hiatus of SW films. Plus like TFA, most of its take will be counted in 2017, so depends how you want to track the #s.
True, there's always the "Transformers/Fast & Furious" effect. BvS could (and probably will) still be huge, especially overseas.
Definitely not. And the movie still has to be good because not even JEJ Vader will save it otherwise. If he's just stomping around "No"-ing his way from scene to scene as the rebel spies constantly thwart him then forget it.

Man, even West killed a dude with a kick. I thought Clooney killed Bane?
I always thought it was funny how in Begins, Bruce is like, "I won't take this man's life"....and he ends up burning the whole place down and killing a bunch of people, including the guy he didn't want to kill, probably
