Monster's U and World War Z both exceeded analysts estimates as well, with Z earning nearly 30% more than projected, so it's easy to see where MOS's potential audience went this past weekend.
MOS had earned more than $170 million from global partnerships and product placement before the movie was even releases, and that's on a budget of $225 million.
With its worldwide gross at $400 million after just 10 days, no one's getting any heat.

Even if this thing continues to slide?
I know a sequel was guaranteed a long time ago. But all the negative reviews and audience reactions don't raise any red flags? They aren't concerned that the sequel will (if not totally bomb) underwhelm and damage DC if something doesn't change?
You know a lot more about it than I do. That just surprises me. I don't know. I haven't even seen the movie. A 65% slide against mediocre competition doesn't bode well, to me. Not that what I think matters to WB.
