Who Will Win? Despite early, negative reviews by critics, comic book fans have voted with their wallets, taking "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" over the half-a-billion dollar mark in its first week of release.

    The superhero battle royale racked up $12.2 million on Tuesday and a healthy $20.7 million overseas. That takes its global haul to $501.9 million. The film is playing in nearly every major foreign territory, including China, the world's second largest market for film.

In a statement, Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, Warners' president of Worldwide Distribution beamed, "These incredible numbers are building momentum for not only this movie but for the upcoming slate of DC superhero films."

Fandango reports that the movie is receiving a 30% increase in repeat business over other films, with many fans returning to see the film multiple times.
