Everyone likes to be down on “Batman vs. Superman.” But it can’t be so bad. Tonight, the Warner Bros. hit will cross the $200 million line. That’s six days, ladies and gents.

Yesterday “BvS” set a March record for Tuesdays, with $12 million. On Monday, Batfleck and Cavman did over $15 million.

Just two days ago, all the box office gurus were saying the movie had slowed down, would start to tank, etc. Guess not.

Abroad, “BvS” is close to $300 million. So that’s around $500,000,000 in less than a week. That vaunted target of $800 million doesn’t seem so unreasonable now, does it? Stick around.

I’m one of those people who thought “Boyhood” was a masterpiece, and that Richard Linklater deserved to win Best Picture in 2015.

As we all know, “Boyhood” was filmed with the same cast over 12 years. So what to do next? Linklater cycled back to his 1993 cult classic, “Dazed and Confused,” about Texas high school kids in 1976.

For “Everybody Wants Some,” he moves forward to 1980, to a different group of kids, now in college, all members of a varsity baseball team, and creates the same kind of unique ensemble that made “Dazed” so memorable. Remember, that movie more or less launched Ben Affleck, Matthew McConaughey, and Parker Posey.

“Everybody Wants Some” is going to launch a bunch of its own stars, as all the young men who comprise the baseball team– and let me tell you, there is very little actual baseball in this movie– are going to take off. Among them: Blake Jenner as sort of the ingenue, Jake, and Glen Powell as the philosopher, Finnegan. There’s also a key performance by Wyatt Russell (son of Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell) in the McConaughey-“Dazed” role (not give too much away). Watch him.

The whole group, though, is spectacular. They reminded me of the cast of “Diner” or “Breaking Away” even more than “Dazed and Confused.”

You can trace a line really, back to George Lucas’s “American Graffiti” up through “Diner” and “Breaking Away” to Linklater’s “Slacker” and “Dazed” to here. These are nostalgia pieces with rough edges, punctuated by the soundtrack of the time. As usual music supervisor Randall Poster has put together a group of songs that hit every note of Linklater’s sort of plotless plot.

In “Everybody Wants Some,” like “Boyhood” very little seems to happen. Or maybe a lot happens. It’s just how you measure time and its passage. “Everybody Wants Some” takes place over a couple of days before classes begin. The baseball team has been given two houses on campus and they’ve been warned– no girls, no drugs, no parties. Yeah right.

But this isn’t “Animal House” or even “Neighbors.” Linklater is too subtle and benign for that. His stories are circles. You feel like you’re almost back where you started as you come to the end. But really, everyone’s moved forward at least a little bit. Will these ballplayers every play ball? They do a little, but they’re off season. So they’re bonding, and chasing girls. Will they ever actually go to school? They will (I don’t want to ruin that).

With “Everyone Wants Some” what you get is a ton of charm, a lovely look back at a time when boy met girl and couldn’t look her up on Facebook or Google her– he to be ingenious and romantic. Life took a little more effort, and a leap of faith.

This is the sleeper hit of the spring, and maybe all of 2016.

Opens today in NY and LA in limited release, expands over the next couple of weeks.

The 2016 Cannes Film Festival will open with Woody Allen’s Cafe Society. Steve Carell, Kristen Stewart, Jesse Eisenberg and Parker Posey lead an all star cast. This is the third time Woody has opened Cannes. All signs point to a hot festival this year with George Miller heading the jury and films expected directed by or starring Pedro Almodovar, Oliver Stone, Jodie Foster and maybe Warren Beatty

.

Maybe it didn’t cost anything, but I’d be surprised. Terrence Malick’s latest sleep inducing effort, “Knight of Cups,” has finished its run with a staggering total of $453,414 in four weeks of release.

The movie starred three Oscar winners– Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, and Natalie Portman– as well as Freida Pinto, Brian Dennehy, and Antonio Banderas. Apparently none of them was a draw. And it’s doubtful anyone of them worked for scale or SAG minimum. Or slept on couches.

Malick’s last dream of a film, “To the Wonder,” made a grand total of $587,615.

Ben Affleck didn’t speak in that one.

To people under a certain age, Malick means “Zayn.” And over a certain age, it means “Days of Heaven,” a 1978 masterpiece. Nineteen seventy eight was a long time ago. Jimmy Carter may have been president. Electricity was still new.

One man, named Nicholas Gonda, has produced all the recent amnesia cures for Malick. His biggest accomplishment has been getting someone to pay the freight. I guess it now’s a badge of honor for some rich person to boast, Oh yes, I lost 10 million with Terrence Malick.

This time, the very nice and new Broad Green Pictures distributed “Knight of Cups,” maybe to put their names on the map. For a while it was Bill Pohlad, who got wise and made his own (pretty good) movie, “Love and Mercy.” Who’s next? Can’t wait to hear.

And where is Malick? No one in the public has seen him in years. I mean, years. Presumably the actors he hires see him.
