'JUSTICE LEAGUE' DEALT BOX OFFICE DEFEAT WITH $96M OPENER (11/20/2017)

Justice League was delivered a blow at the box office, bringing in just $96 million. Normally, that would be a good showing, but this was supposed to be the crowning jewel in Warner Bros./DC’s crown.

The film is tracking to bring in $325 million worldwide for the opener. Observers say Justice League still has a fighting chance to bring in serious dough as it's going into a Thanksgiving weekend. Typically a big one for moviegoers.

“It’s not just about the opening weekend, but it’s about the length of the run especially given the extremely lucrative Thanksgiving holiday; we have lots of room to run,” Warner Bros. domestic distribution boss Jeff Goldstein told Deadline this morning.

Lionsgate’s Wonder, meanwhile, brought in $27 million, considered a big win for its opener. It was a risk to put the Julia Roberts starring family title up against an event film like Justice League, but one that ultimately paid off, with observers noting that the audience for Wonder skewed female (68%) compare to Justice League’s male skew (58%).
