It's over, guys. Justice Leaguehas finally ended its domestic box office run and it's now officially the lowest grossing film in the DC Extended Universe.
Director Zack Snyder's multi-hero blockbuster starring Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, Aquaman, Cyborg, and Flash, the antithesis to Marvel's Avengers, made $229 million at the U.S. box office since opening in November 2017.

DC's top domestic grossing film to date is the unbeatable Wonder Woman, which hit $412 million — and notably, it came out only months before Justice League and probably should have harnessed more of a guaranteed flow-over audience than it did.
Justice Leaguewas even $100 million behind both Suicide Squad, in third place making $325 million domestic, and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, in second place at $330 million.
At the international box office, the film is also in last place at a total of $657 million. Batman v Supermanis the highest performer internationally at $873 million (Wonder Womanat $821 million).
DC's next film to be released will be the James Wan-directed breakout Aquaman onDec.21 2018, before Patty Jenkins returns with Wonder Woman 2on Nov. 1, 2019.
Hope rests on these broad, broad shoulders.Credit: DCDC has also just announced A Wrinkle in Timedirector Ava DuVernay for DC's film version of The New Gods, so perhaps there's room for improvement up ahead. Pay no attention to that formidable rumbling up ahead.
