Because there's no competition out there yet it seems Zack Snyder's Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice will come out on top again this weekend - but analysts are still expecting a pretty significant drop. That said, even a 60% drop will apparently give it a second week take of at least $66 million, pushing its domestic gross well over the $250 million mark.
Worldwide, the Man of Steel follow-up has already taken in over $530 million.
Whatever happens, there's no doubt BvS has an incredible first week - just lagging slightly behind Marvel's Iron Man 3 which grossed $212.4M in its first seven days.
Can Batman V Superman be the juggernaut Warner Bros. really needs it to be and continue to rake in the cash? Well, at this point it seems highly unlikely that it won't gross at least $1 billion... eventually.
