Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds have just congratulate the Joker movie as the highest grossing R-rated movie in the box office.

XxSabrinaxX:

I was. But I'm a Spider-Man fangirl first and foremost . The dystopian nature of the Marvel and DC threads in respect to troll wars (this is only on Nairaland of course. Every marvel/dc fan here seems stuck in 2010) forced me to pick a side.

And yes, pu7pl3, it was in fact Minemrys that chased me away from the DC thread, remember?

KealDrogo:

Yes it's been a while. I've been very busy lately

Nickshrapnel:
I usually watch series only when they get to 3rd seasons or when they finish it entirely. Call me weird but I find it tiring waiting for a new episode every week

Minemrys:

you see, joker has shown every0ne the critics' true colors. Let's wind back a year ago. No one dared cross the critics. I mean what happened? Did their balls drop off?

Same critics that told me not to see joker are the ones praising that deadass terminator movie

Blackspider:

Please do, will like to see it.

Cc hulk616, that is how to underline a word

The bolded is it just a nairaland thing or are you for real?? Cos I'm just like you...I go this hard for DC on here or twitter cos DC fans are almost always scarce but I'm still actually a fan of both(still leaning towards DC tho)

And go and see joker FFS

Made a list of all CBMs that grossed $200M+ worldwide and sorted them w.r.t both profit and ROI. Boxoffice of 74 (EDIT: 85. 11 movies were added to the new list) movies were analyzed in total.

EDIT: Many $200M+ CBMs which are not in this list were pointed out in the comments. The list will be updated with those. Most notable miss was the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, which has an ROI of 6.99, making it the actual holder of the highest ROI for a CBM. Kudos to u/Karnas for pointing that out.

EDIT: Here's the updated list (Older one removed).

All CBMs listed in the domestic list of Box Office Mojo and has $200M+ worldwide gross are added. Hope nothing went under the radar this time.

Methodology

Return = (0.5 * Domestic gross) + (0.25 * China gross) + (0.4 * OS-China gross)
Profit = Return - Budget
ROI = Return/Budget
Disclaimer

This post is only concerned with production costs and box office revenue. Non-production costs (such as marketing costs) and revenue from non-BO sources (such as ancillaries) are not considered.

Surprising findings

Batman (1989) made more profit than Batman v Superman and Superman (1978) made more profit than Man of Steel.

X-Men: First Class lost money (only $3.9M, but loss nonetheless) on the box office.
Joker

As u/AGOTFAN pointed out the last time I posted a similar list, the budget of Joker is $64M, not $55M.

Joker's domestic gross till 21st Oct, 2019 (3rd monday) and overseas gross till 20th Oct, 2019 (3rd weekend) is considered.

Joker till date has made $321.5M in return ($257.5M profit, 5.02 ROI).

$300M domestic gross and $600M overseas gross will ensure $390M in return, i.e., $326M profit (#5 of all time behind Endgame, Infinity War, Avengers and Black Panther) and 6.09 ROI (#3 of all time behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Mask).

It would have to make a return of $426M (beating The Mask) to claim #2 ROI and a return of $448M to dethrone Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to reach the highest ROI of all CBMs.

To beat Black Panther and become the most profitable non-Avengers CBM, Joker requires a return of $457M.

This list will be updated as Joker and other CBMs make further ramblings at the box office.

Now quite frankly, the argument of profitably is irrelevant to me. I had pretty much forgotten about this until I saw this mention. Just felt compelled to fulfill all righteousness.

Just say the word so that we can riot and deal with minemrys on your behalf.

XxSabrinaxX:

I sincerely was . If you go to sites like superherohype, reddit and NeoGAF, you could go at least 8-9 pages without seeing some sad Marvel or DC cuck taking cheap shots at the rival side . Sadly it's not the case here. I came to NL as a fan of both but I remember the very first thread I jumped into was some DC fans tongue-lashing Marvel. And I can be pretty defensive of Marvel cos I grew up as a Marvelite . I only started getting into DC in my late teens. Naturally it was easy to pick a side when the storm kept getting worse.

I don't even take these nairaland Marvel/DC threads seriously. They can get too juvenile for me sometimes. I usually prefer Superherohype as my go to chat room for Comic book movie stuff. I'm an active member there but I won't tell you what my handle is

The opposite is the case for me...when I came here marvel fans were the ones always taking shots at DC and Snyder...the rest is history

I take nairaland DC/marvel thread seriously,it's stress reducing and funny

What if I tell you I'm also active on superherohype and with the way you type it's not hard to pick you out

Blackspider:
If you don't know the context of the conversation, I advice you don't fool yourself.

Spider-Man has never sold more than batman and Superman combined all the time. It happened once in 2014 and from 2015 spiderman merchandise has been receiving L from Batman.
