How very embarrassing.
After just a couple of days in cinemas, and despite the fact that it has been roundly mauled, Batman v Superman has pulled in $500m and is on course to break a cool billion. If Warner Bros aren't paying attention to the Internet, they could well be forgiven they've spun pure gold, and even if they are, that's the kind of "f*ck you money" that makes critical consensus irrelevant.
But no matter how over the top the reviews have been (it's flawed, but it's not irredeemable by any means), the studio would be foolish to ignore some of the venom, and some of the calls from fans to kick Zack Snyder to the curb. Because it's getting a little embarrassing.
The film currently stands at a measly 29% on Rotten Tomatoes, infuriating blinkered fanboys and putting it on a particularly distasteful run of the critical ladder that even a billion dollar haul wouldn't fully forgive. Particularly when you consider some of the supposedly abject failures that have now "out-performed" it according to Rotten Tomatoes' handy score system.
So while Warner Bros might well be mopping their tears with money, they should be wary that Batman V Superman will ultimately be remembered for the films that were considered better than it. And some of those over-achievers make for painful reading...
