Batman vs. Superman Ticket Sales Outpacing Deadpool, Avengers and Fast & Furious

Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are not only set to kick each other’s butts, but by the looks of advanced ticket sales, the DC Trinity are going to take down Deadpool, Avengers and Fast & Furious.

Deadline reports the advanced ticket sales for Batman Vs. Superman are out performing Fox’s Deadpool (opening weekend $132.4M), Marvel’s The Avengers ($207.4M opening weekend) and Universal’s Furious 7 ($147.1M opening weekend) two weeks prior to its U.S. debut.  

It’s further said the advanced ticket sales figure is somewhere between $20-25 million, which is similar to The Dark Knight Rises ($25 million) that went on to have a $160.9 million opening.

As it stands, it’s estimated Batman Vs. Superman could open from around $140 to $160 million.

The current record-holder for advanced tickets is held by Star Wars: The Force Awakens with $50 million.

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter as Senator Finch and Tao Okamoto as Mercy Graves. 

Synopsis:

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.
