The final weekend figures are out, and The Nun just opened with $53.8 million over its debut weekend. This massive win, which also includes $77m in overseas grosses, follows on the heels of The Meg (which will cross $500m this week) and Crazy Rich Asians (which is taking a shot at the $175m+ domestic milestone and possible Oscar nominations). Unless Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga’s A Star Is Born doesn’t ride its wave of Oscar buzz to become a babysitter-worthy hit next month, the WB express should keep on chugging until Christmas. With numbers like these, it hardly matters if Aquaman “saves” the DC Films franchise.
With ‘The Nun’ and ‘Crazy Rich Asians,’ Warner Bros. no longer “needs” a DC Films series

Ya herd, right. If they can make 50 and 70 million with those films why do they need to make 120 million and 100 million with DC films?

Sure they do. They need to keep making those superhero movies just so they can compete with Marvel. That’s really the only reason they’ll keep making them.

Disney doesn’t need Marvel either. Doesn’t fucking mean they shouldn’t care about the DC properties.
