What do we eat, wear, watch?

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” shrugged off lousy reviews to debut with an estimated $170.1 million in North America, the sixth-best weekend opening of all-time. It racked up the fourth-biggest global opening in history as well, earning a massive $424.1 million after debuting in almost every major foreign country over the weekend.

According to Variety magazine, the superhero matchup launched to $254 million overseas from 66 markets, including China, where it grossed $57.3 million, the best ever debut for a Warner Bros. release. The enthusiastic response from foreign crowds is good news for the studio, which is counting on “Batman v Superman” to kick off a universe of movie sequels and spinoffs featuring DC Comics characters.

The stakes were high for the Warner Bros. superhero showdown, which cost $250 million to make and some $150 million to market. But the studio’s bid to kick start a DC Comics universe to rival Marvel’s empire fought against skepticism over Ben Affleck’s casting as Batman and a barrage of bad reviews earlier in the week.

Audiences gave the film a mediocre B CinemaScore, which suggested some moviegoers agreed with critics. But the allure of seeing two of the most iconic superheroes battle was enough to set a new record for the best pre-summer debut.

The film dominated Easter weekend with the kind of blockbuster performance usually reserved for Memorial Day or July 4th. In second was the Disney Animation hit “Zootopia,” with $23.1 million in its fourth week of domestic release. The go-to family release of the season, it has earned nearly $700 million globally. Universal’s “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2,” a sequel to the 2002 hit romantic comedy, debuted with $18.1 million, benefiting by drawing female audiences against the male-centric “Batman v Superman.”

If the estimate Sunday holds, “Batman v Superman” will be Warner Bros.’ best opening ever, besting “Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows Part 2” ($169.2 million). It also supersedes previous Batman films like “The Dark Knight Rises” ($160.9 million) and “The Dark Knight” ($158.4 million).

The $27.7 million debut is a record-breaker for the Easter weekend slot. “Furious 7” previously held that title with its $15.8 million launch last year.

But it’s still a far cry from the biggest Thursday night opening ever. That distinction goes to “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which brought in $57 million on a Thursday night in December.

It also marks the first time that the lasso-wielding crusader Wonder Woman appears in a major live-action film. And that is all a setup for her own stand-alone feature coming in 2017.
