"Batman v Superman" has already broken Fandango's record for most tickets sold on their app for a superhero movie, and even though the critics are mostly panning the film, the fan reaction from early screenings seems to be pretty positive. Deadline is reporting the $160 million domestic box office opening, and attributes some of those numbers and early ticket sales to a strong social media campaign as led by the film's stars, Gal Gadot, Ben Affleck, and Henry Cavill.

According to Deadline, the combined social media power of three starts is around 13 million fans, spread across Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, with Gadot leading the pack with the most followers. Over the last few weeks all three actors have been posting photos and videos at press events, fan screenings, red carpet world premieres and even in Times Square.

Broken down, BvS' SMU consists of 585M YouTube views, 90.8M FB video views, 37M Facebook likes, 8.8M total Twitter followers across all handles and 5.6M on Instagram.
