“Justice” Slips

The Latest DC Franchise falls to number two this week at the box office as Justice League brings in just over 40 million domestically as the latest Disney Pixar Coco takes first with 49 million at the box office.

Justice League picks up right after Batman V Superman left off as the world is morning the heroic death of Superman.  At the same time, crime is at an all time high as Batman and Wonder Woman struggle to recruit a new replacement for their fallen crony and Wonder Woman’s home is over taken by Steppenwolf who has plans to take over the entire world.

Justice League starsBen Affleck as Batman and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman as they recruit Aquaman (Jason Momoa),  The Flash (Ezra Miller) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher) for their Justice League Team, but will they be strong enough to defeat Steppenwolf (Ciarán Hinds) without their fearless leader, Superman (Henry Cavill) and be able to save the World?

At two hour run time, the action adventure will have audiences on the edge of their seats wondering what will happen next.   With just enough back story from the previous DC films, viewers don’t have to know a lot about the characters in order to understand what is happening and be entertained.  All in all, it’s a powerful movie with a message of how much power a team has as each member of the Justice League brings their own strength in order to defeat the villain and save the world.

Justice League came out in theaters, November 17 and though it dropped its second weekend, it brought in over 171 million from its debut opening weekend to date at the box office.
