Also interesting that the article says it is outpacing the Avengers pre-sales but then says they only expect it to make $140M which would put it $60M behind Avengers and lower than even Deadpool.
I'd guess the marketplace has changed in the last 5 years or whatever since the Avengers. I don't remember pre-sales being as big a deal 5 years ago. I'm not even sure if there were reserved seats back then.

Don't really see Avengers as a comparable for the film. The Avengers has the 3rd highest opening of all time, and when it opened it had the highest of all time. It was also building off several established franchises.
The last Superman film did 116 million opening. This was the previous movie in the franchise.
If BvS hits the $140M mark it'll be considered a success. At $160 million you hit the Dark Knight type levels of success, which is probably more what the studio is hoping for. In other words, just because BvS doesn't have the biggest opening of all time, they won't consider it a failure.
