The buzz surrounding DC Films first major crossover film continues to grow, and early reports are looking good for Wonder Woman and Batman's latest outing.

Early tracking for the opening weekend of Justice League predict a huge box office for the film, pegging it at $110 to $120 million, according to a report from Deadline. Tickets just went on sale on Fandango last night.

That should be enough to propel the film into the record books, it's worth noting that these estimates come from industry reports and not from Warner Bros. themselves.

Justice League is beating Wonder Woman's tracking, which went on to make $103.2 million on opening weekend, though the ensemble film's numbers could be affected by Thor: Ragnarok at this point.

Thor: Ragnarok's tracking project the Marvel Studios movie to make $125 million on opening weekend, and once that movie comes out the numbers for Justice League could go up.

Justice League still has a wide margin to surpass Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice's opening weekend, which made $166 million in its opening weekend. Though it's certainly an achievable goal, there's still a ways to go.

The hype for Justice League has steadily grown over the last few weeks, considerably after the release of the film's latest trailer. Speculation even credited Fandango's servers going down for maintenance to users crashing the site in a mad dash to get tickets.

As more DC Films news starts to trickle out, such as the development of a Deathstroke movie from The Raid director Gareth Evans and production beginning on the Suicide Squad sequel, fans have more and more to look forward to from Warner Bros.' line of superhero films.

Wonder Woman seems to have turned the tide of perceptions on their offerings after lukewarm receptions to Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad.

We'll see if Zack Snyder (and Joss Whedon) can capitalize on that buzz when Justice League premieres in theaters November 17.

Justice League is currently ranked 4.17 out of 5 and is the third most anticipated film among ComicBook.com users. Are you excited to see the League united? Make sure you leave a vote in our Anticipation Rankings below!
