This led to a record-breaking opening for any DC film, but strangely it had the biggest record drop, dropping 69% since its opening weekend.  Warner Bros. still seems to have faith,  however, as they’ve announced two more untitled DC films for an upcoming release. This shows that they’re still going ahead with whatever plans they may have had. Unfortunately, Bloomberg reports the film may have a smaller profit than its predecessor, Man…
