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.

Well if they are comparing pre-sales numbers to the Avengers then obviously someone thinks it is a comparable.
But I agree, I don't think it is comparable at all, but as mentioned above by OOTC this movie seems to have much more mainstream appeal. I find that comparison interesting since it can't be more mainstream than the Avengers if it isn't doing the business that Avengers did. Yet Avengers is referred both as not as mainstream and as having the groundwork so it is not fair to compare the two. There's a disconnect in the comparison somewhere. It can't be both.
