will easily top the weekend for the second frame in a row, but its hold was merely adequate for the genre. The well-reviewed and well-received DC Films flick earned $6.365 million on Friday, a 69% drop from its $20.5 million Friday gross. That positions the film for a $22.7 million Fri-Sun frame, a drop of 58% from the $53.5 million debut but a drop of 61% from the whole $56.8 million debut .
So, yes, it's a hit as it is now just shy of three times its budget. The question is whether it rallies after the second weekend and becomes a group choice or second-choice pick for general moviegoers.
