While comic book fans are burning out on being hyped, Joe movie-goer sees Batman AND Superman in one movie and gets hyped. Everyone knows them. So while the 'Internet hype' (which has historically been a poor indicator for success) isn't astronomical, the mainstream hype is just getting going, and will be huge.

I guess that depends on how that hype plays out. If it is supposedly more mainstream than the Avengers then surely it should easily best the $207M the Avengers made, no? It just seems weird to me that there is excitement for a $150M opening. That seems like the minimum it should do.
I don't know maybe I expect too much. I'd have to think not even beating Deadpool would be a massive disappointment for them, even if the worldwide numbers to prop up the box office.
