Just three days remain before Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hits the theaters, and reactions from those who attended the recent New York premiere are prodigiously positive. Those reactions suggest that Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman steals the show. One suggested that the loudest applause at the event was during the Amazonian Princess' entrance.
But Zack Snyder's better half and producing partner Deborah Snyder claims that Batman v Superman doesn't reveal much of Diana Prince's incredible power. Most of it, according to her, has been kept for Patty Jenkins to explore in next year's Wonder Woman standalone movie. The producer tells Collider:
Really, we did a chart with what their powers were, like what Superman's powers were, and I think you see a little bit of Wonder Woman. So we get a sense of her power, but we didn't want to do too much, because obviously Patty's going to build up to that and we're going to learn how she discovers her powers in that movie.
Aquaman, Flash, and Cyborg in Batman v Superman - a little bit more cameo!
During the interview, Snyder also talked about the Justice League members, apart from the Trinity, who would appear in Batman v Superman:
And then with Aquaman and Flash and Cyborg, those are a little bit more cameo, so you see a little bit that there's something different, but we don't want to give too much away, because we were just in the process, and we still are, of developing those scripts.
Batman v Superman targeting $300 million-plus worldwide opening!
Despite being the subject of numerous controversies over the last couple of years, Batman v Superman is definitely looking good to earn big bucks. Variety reports that the March 25 release is expected to gross no less than $150 million domestically and more than $300 million globally during its opening weekend.
According to Deadline, Batman v Superman is targeting a $350 million global opening which would make the movie the second-best pre-summer and Easter debut. Last year's Furious 7 holds that particular record, with $397.7 million.
According to Fandango, the movie has already broken their record for the top pre-selling superhero flick ever. The record was previously held by The Dark Knight Rises and Avengers: Age of Ultron.
But the major factor that could depress attendance for the Batman v Superman opening weekend is the security concerns following the recent terrorist attacks in Brussels. The brutal attacks took away no less than 34 lives, and injured dozens. Lionsgate referred to last year’s terrorist attacks in Paris as a key reason for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 poor performance at the box office.
