2016 has turned out to be a trying year for Ben Affleck. While he no doubt stands to collect a hefty paycheck from Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and a near-guarantee of more to come from its various spin-offs (including his own solo Batman project), he’s also had to watch the film be savaged by critics, ridiculed by pop-culture and branded a box-office disappointment by analysts – with he himself becoming an icon of the film’s negative reception in the form of the now-ubiquitous “Sad Affleck” meme.
Rumor: Ben Affleck Was ‘Humiliated’ By Batman V Superman Response
Where Civil War is head and shoulders above Batman v Superman is found in all the character context provided to us throughout. Every time we see Tony and Steve go head-to-head, it’s tough to shake the “I wish Mom and Dad would stop fighting” vibe, a byproduct of all the well-established interpersonal relationships. It’s partly an advantage of a franchise that’s been around for almost a decade, but it’s also a testament to the considerable work the Russos did making us feel for the myriad of heroes. Steve and Tony have been friends (and sometimes rivals) for years now, and it’s that shared history that makes us feel for their eventual falling-out. That, combined with just enough levity to keep things honest, amounts to a knockout blow for DC’s fledgling superhero universe.

CW wasn't as good as Winter Soldier.

That $13M Monday number was a 66% drop. Not good but could rebound on Tuesday and there is no competition at all for the weekend.
It's good numbers, but where have all the people gone who mocked BvS for not making 200milli opening weekend?

Really?
CW was all over the place and it ended bittersweet for the ending of a trilogy. WS was more self contained and had more tension.
To anyone in here comparing numbers on a fukking Monday. shyt is absurd.
