Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ended its first week at the domestic box office with a $7.74 million Thursday gross. That puts the film’s seven-day domestic total at $209.07m, or just past the entire domestic total of Chris Nolan’s Batman Begins ($206.8m back in 2005 and in 2D). And before you scream “Inflation!,” you should know that Dawn of Justice should be awfully close to the inflation-adjusted $279m cume of said first Batman movie by the end of its second weekend.
Said Thursday gross is one of the bigger Thursday grosses in March, behind the $10.5m (opening day) gross of G.I. Joe: Retaliation, the $8.1m first Thursday of The Hunger Games, and the $7.6m second Thursday of The Passion of the Christ. In terms of comic book/superhero films, the Zack Snyder sequel sits ahead of Batman Begins ($206.8m) and Thor: The Dark World ($206.3m) and behind Zack Snyder’s own 3oo ($210m) if only until today.
The Ben Affleck/Henry Cavill/Gal Gadot entry dropped a solid 4% from Wednesday-to-Thursday, which isn’t too bad in terms of relevant comparisons. The Batman+Superman+Wonder Woman blockbuster also made more on its first Thursday than Man of Steel ($7.01m) with a much smaller drop, so the hope is that it can put some distance between the two in terms of day-to-day grosses over the next three days.
In terms of relevant March/April debuts, Furious 7 dropped 10% from Wednesday to Thursday with a $8.1 million seventh day, The Hunger Games went up 1.5% for a $8.1m Thursday, Watchmen dropped 7.2%, 300 dropped 6.4%, while both Oz: The Great and Powerfuland Alice In Wonderland dropped just 0.1% before their second weekends.

Among big summer champions of this nature, Man of Steel dropped 22% on its first Thursday (for a $7 million Thursday gross and a $156m seven-day cume) while Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 fell 8.5%. The Dark Knight Rises dropped 4.1% and Avengers: Age of Ultron dropped 8.5% for a “pretty close to Dawn of Justice” $8.6m Thursday.
