This was not a regular superhero movie. This was the start of a new cinematic universe to rival Marvel, with DC's biggest superhero at the helm.
A fresh start, they even sacrificed the Blue Beetle, Shazam 2, and Aquaman 2...just for this movie.
And that's not counting the reshoots, cuts, or the ridiculous marketing for this movie.
I think anything less than a billion will fail to meet expectations. Maybe I'm wrong. But we'll see.
