One thing for certain, it's going to be a huge hit and hopefully kick off more R rated superhero movies. Logan, Dredd , V for Vendetta, Watchmen, BvS (Ultimate Edition) are all some of my favorite cbms ever.
I think you're still discounting how the R rating will affect box office numbers.

not a comic book movie, but a recent example could be Bohemian Rhapsody vs. rocketman.
BR made 900 million worldwide. Rocketman made 190 million, despite arguably being the better movie.
obviously there are other factors, but I think if rocketman toned down and also was PG-13, they would have perhaps made a couple hundred million more.
