i don't care about the critics but the mcu makes more money than the murderverse, it just does. even a movie about a fox and a rabbit made more than that freakin flop called bvs. just pack up and go home dc fans.
I agree about one thing: I don’t care about the critics. As for everything else, let’s break it down.
Let’s look at the numbers.
Here’s what you can see by looking at this:
- From their first to their second movie, the MCU went down more than $300 million; the DCEU went up more than $200 million. The MCU then went up more than $300 million; let’s see what happens with the DCEU.
- The DCEU’s first and second movies made more money than the MCU’s first and second movies.
- It took the DCEU two movies to make $1,5 billion. It took the MCU four movies to reach that same anount.
- Man of Steel made more than 7 out of the MCU’s 13 movies. BvS made more than 9 out the MCU’s 13 movies.
So, yeah, 13 movies make more money than 2. That’s more than obvious. But you have to go beyond that to get a clear picture of who really made more money.

You’re talking about Zootopia here. Here’s the thing: I love Zootopia. It’s my favorite movie of the year. It has great animation, a great story, a great message and it has character development (something you don’t see very often in animated movies). I love that it made $1 billion. And it doesn’t bother me that it made more than BvS.
And if we’re talking about animated movies and their box office, let’s again look at the numbers.
As you can see, the only MCU movie to make more than every single movie on this list is The Avengers. Frozen made more than all the others. The other 9 movies made more than 9 out of the 13 MCU movies.
EDIT: I made a mistake here. Avengers: Age of Ultron also made more than all the movies on this list. My bad.
Animated movies make more money. They just do.
Also, BvS was far from being a flop. Did it underperform? Yes. Was WB expecting $1 billion? Most likely. But none of that means it flopped. Add the home video sales (and BvS is extremely successful in that front), digital sales and merchandise, and it more than made up for the production costs.
A lot of people think “Well, this is Batman and Superman. They should make more”. And here’s why it didn’t (from http://kingarthurofgeek.tumblr.com/post/145732515012/allons-y-areli-stephenstrvnge):
1. Due to the popularity of the heroes, everyone has an idea of what Batman and Superman are “supposed” to be like, thus making many people disappointed, unlike with Guardians. It is also the third cinematic Superman and sixth Batman, so it had to live up to their standards.
3. The mixed reactions to Man of Steel
4. A month after Deadpool, a month before Civil War
5. Generally shit on by the media, including over-exaggerating the negative responses and saying stuff like it failed ^^
6. Coming after years of MCU movies, which have made people think there is only one way to make a superhero movie (A serious superhero movie? What??? They have to be self-mocking because superheroes are for NERDS)
7. Mass confusion due to it coming only four years after Nolan’s Batman Trilogy
8. A three-year wait that made many people lose interest.
9. An attempt to start a franchise eight years after Marvel did.
To this I would add that, in this day and age, the characters being well known is no longer a guaranty of box office results. You know what is? An established franchise. The MCU made $1 billion on its 6th movie. It took James Bond decades to make $1 billion. Harry Potter only got there on its 8th movie. And $2 billion? Unless you’re Star Wars or James Cameron, that’s practically impossible.

No, I don’t think I’ll do that. Box office aside, I like these movies. I like this universe. And I’m looking forward to see what it will bring.
As for box office, dig deeper next time. The numbers are not subjective. The numbers are the only facts you’ll get when it comes to movies. And I’ve pointed out the facts.
