10 Movies That Shockingly Destroyed Justice League At The Box Office

Never underestimate how much disposable income "tweenage" girls have to throw at awful adaptations of equally awful young adult romance novels, something everyone learned with the Twilight franchise.

That Justice League only out-grossed the first entry into the Twilight franchise ($393.6 million) is nothing short of embarrassing, though considering how few movie franchises there are for young girls compared to those for young boys, they clearly all jumped at the chance to support this one. Which is pretty sad all around, really.

Perhaps the most humiliating aspect of Twilight beating Justice League is that even its shameless splitting of the final book still generated more audience interest, further demonstrating just how distrusting fans are of the DCEU. Yeesh.
