Oh please. Ppl don't want to waste 25 bucks on a ticket plus food. They ignored the critics for BvS and SS and considering the steep drops, many were disapppointed.
I call bull on the paying off critics. Marvel makes films that are usually like Wonder woman. They're fun, easy to follow and fairly basic and generic so there isn't much to hate.
BvS generally according to both critics and audiences was a boring soulless film with almost no action. SS was also generally seen as a flaming hot pile of garbage.
