After two weeks in a row of box office dominance, Thor: Ragnarok will certainly not come out on top this weekend, with that honor almost certainly going to Warner Bros. Justice League. Unlike most Marvel movies, this DCEU movie does have some competition in wide release, with the Lionsgate drama Wonder, starring Julia Roberts and Jacob Tremblay, and Sony's animated biblical tale The Star, although none of those movies will come anywhere close to Justice League. We're predicting that Justice League comes in just a bit over its latest box office projections, taking in $126.7 million.
In late October, the latest Justice League box office tracking put the superhero ensemble between $110 million and $120 million, an opening weekend which comes in below both Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ($166 million) and Suicide Squad ($133.6 million), but above the opening weekend of Wonder Woman ($103.2 million). Ironically, Wonder Woman ($412.5 million) ended up besting both Batman v Superman ($330.3 million) and Suicide Squad ($325.1 million) at the domestic box office, since it suffered minimal drops from weekend to weekend throughout the summer, unlike both Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad.
The Wonder Woman movie was also helped quite a bit by a glowing critical reception, with its 92% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes far exceeding the 27% of Batman v Superman and the 26% of Suicide Squad. As for the Justice League reviews, they are still under embargo, which is slated to break late tonight. In an unusual move, though, Rotten Tomatoes is delaying the release of the TomatoMeter score for a full day, which will be revealed on their new show on Facebook called See It/Skip It. The move has raised some eyebrows although the first wave of reviews will be available for all to see on various websites tonight at 11:50 PM PT/2:50 AM ET. Still, it remains to be seen how much these reviews will impact the box office, since even the critical flops Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad fared quite well.

Is that Superman?
the meme smile became real!!!!! OMG
I'd love to see that screen shot with the mustache
But they've already spoiled the RT rating on a glitch in the app
Is he smiling or is he about to eat someone's face off?
Oh man, I hope that is just a really poorly timed screen grab. They should have just left the mustache on!

Worst post of this thread.No surprise that a movie where Zack Snyder did the brunt of the work on sucks.
Still, I did hope that Whedon would be able to salvage it
