JUSTICE LEAGUE Finally Passes $650 Million Worldwide
We’ve talked before about just how underwhelming Justice League‘s box office has been. It is supposed to be the biggest DC movie yet, with a $300 million budget and a cast of the company’s biggest characters. However, it is expected to be the lowest grossing DC Films title to date. This weekend, Justice League finally passed one box office benchmark. According to Box Office Mojo, the movie has currently grossed about $225.6 million domestically and $427 million internationally, bringing its worldwide total to $652.6 million.

Confirmed: KRYPTON is Not Set in the DC Films Universe
Early on in development of Krypton, fans speculated that the SyFy series would be a prequel to Man of Steel and, thus, the greater DC Films Universe. This was fueled by writer/producer David Goyer saying that the show takes place 200 years before Man of Steel, along with some visuals in the trailer that looked similar to the movie.

Also, don’t expect it to connect to other Superman-related projects, such as The CW’s Supergirl. It is very much its own thing. With Krypton in its own universe, it…
