8 Reasons Splitting Batman V Superman In Two Would Ruin The Movie

6. Part 1 Is Coming Out At A Busy Time

If there is going to be a 2015 DC movie, the late-October weekend makes the most sense - in a year where blockbusters are never too far off it's one of the most competition-free windows. But while that ensures it's not coming out directly against an Avengers or a Hunger Games, it's not like it'd have the playground all to itself. 23rd October puts it just two weeks behind The Jungle Book, an effects extravaganza expected to win big at the box office, and only the same time frame ahead of Spectre, a movie whose predecessor, Skyfall, made more money at the worldwide box office that the last Batman movie, released in the same year. This means that while Enter The Knight would no doubt end up as one of the year's top 15 grossing flicks, it wouldn't come near bothering Avengers: Age Of Ultron or Star Wars: The Force Awakens. And when a single film on its own is all-but guaranteed to brush with that billion dollar milestone, this lesser release is not a smart way to start off the DC enterprise.
