Poster is Up in Theaters

[Retroman]

This is inspired by a thread from Threshold at the X3 forums. The point of it is share your experience of seeing a Superman Returns poster in theaters or else where. So if you've seen a poster for the film please post details and/or a pic (would be great!).:)

[Retroman]

To start things off here's a poster sighting by scenariodna.

[Pickle-El]

NICE!

Didn't see one at the theatre that was playing Potter. I'm sure more will pop up.

[Agentdemon]

finally, looks good.

[Super Kal]

I asked my theater if they had gotten in their posters yet. They said yes they have but they have chosen not to put them up yet

[Morg]

none here(ohio) at my theater yet

[TheBat812]

i saw one, and my friend did the classic "YES! *fist pump*". I was amped to say the least.

[green]

It's up at mine...:hyper:

[Orko Is King]

When I saw Potter at AMC, they had it out.

[pavlovs dogfood]

Yep, they had one in all its glory at my theater when I went to see RENT (twice).

I pointed at it and gasped dramatically :eek:

I was then ushered along by my friends.

[Mr. Socko]

Ain't up at my theater yet.

that poster is too dark, superman is a brigth and shiny charcter not batman for god sakes:o

[nosebleed.]

Batman's the one that put up the poster...call it force of habit.

[TheBat812]

yea, batman is napoleon... GOSH!

[ToddIsDead]

My theater has it up but it is in a dark corner where no one sees it. It's also the same place that they put the Batman Begins poster.

[Nightwing1977]

that poster is too dark, superman is a brigth and shiny charcter not batman for god sakes:o

Maybe it look dark, 'cause it the pic. I'm sure seeing it in person look better than the pic. And since when does dark colors or look respresent dark characters? Some just miss this point. And it might not be overly bright, but no way does it mean just "dark". I wear some dark clothes like black shirt a lot more than bright colors. Does this mean I'm a vigilante or some evil person, hmm?


And that poster look beautiful. I can't wait till my local theater start putting one up asap. Look like SR promotion is finally up & running. Now the public are going to be aware of the new Superman movie coming out soon. :up:

[Super_Ludacris]

look good

[CConn]

I saw the poster in my theater when I went to see HP4.

[sf2]

not in my local cinema yet.

[musclesforsupes]

Does anyone know when we will be able to buy a poster.

[Showtime]

Does anyone know when we will be able to buy a poster.

Ebay...I bought one over a month ago...the nice two sided type that they hang in the theaters. There is a great seller there that does an incredible job.

[musclesforsupes]

I mean 123 posters or wb havent put it on there website yet?

[sf2]

this is only a teaser poster, right? we will have the official poster later right?

[dark_b]

and not just one poster

[Showtime]

Yeah, I just have the teaser poster with the S Logo. Looking forward to the huge line of posters they are going to employ.

[KrypJonian]

DAMN RED X'ES

I can't behold the glory of the SR poster.....:(

[newmexneon]

I am going to have to steal one of those.

[Pickle-El]

Saw it today! Unfortunately, didn't have my phone to take a pic. I'll do it when Kong (or Syriana) come out.

It looked GLORIOUS.

(ps also saw some guy wearing a Superman T-shirt as I was having drinks during the football game tonight)

[explode7]

Its up in my Cinema but people don't really look at it. When I went to see HP4 they really can't seem to take their eyes off of that Big dumb gorilla poster(King Kong).

[Nightwing1977]

Its up in my Cinema but people don't really look at it. When I went to see HP4 they really can't seem to take their eyes off of that Big dumb gorilla poster(King Kong).

You sure? Maybe it 'cause King Kong is coming out in 2 weeks, while Supes come out in 7 months or so. I guess people pay attention to movie poster for a movie that is coming out closer than those coming out for months & months. ;)

[explode7]

^ Yes but remember the Kong posters have actual characters in it so I guess thats probably why Kong got more reactions with SR its just an S symbol.

[explode7]

Double Post. HAHAHA

[dark_b]

Its up in my Cinema but people don't really look at it. When I went to see HP4 they really can't seem to take their eyes off of that Big dumb gorilla poster(King Kong).hahahaahahahahhahahhahaaaaaaaaaa

so you are saying noone was watching the SR poster? and you are saying everyone was watching the king kong poster??uuuuuuuuu SR will suck.

[explode7]

^ I all honesty I never saw any1 watch the SR poster.

[Pickle-El]

My brother wanted to rip it off the wall....and he's 27.

[dark_b]

^ I all honesty I never saw any1 watch the SR poster.i never saw anyone watch the batman begins poster.
you know what i mean?

[explode7]

I think people don't care about superman again.

[Pickle-El]

I think people don't care about superman again.

6 Million people watch Smallville every week.


And please don't tell us it's because of Tom Welling, you'd lose the argument by default if you answered with that.

[explode7]

^ Actually I think Smallville made TW not the other way around mind u.

[Pickle-El]

^ Actually I think Smallville made TW not the other way around mind u.

Well then, 6 Million people per week is quite a few people that are still interested in Superman-based mythology on TV every week isn't it?


That isn't exactly nobody. I'd love to see anyone else (Superhero) try to carry their own show on a weekly sindicated network. Maybe Batman....but, that's pretty much it. And 'early years' X-Men show might work...but how long would the general audience be interested? Smallville is going on it's 5th season. And you know why? It's not because of the actors, or the sometimes confusing storylines, it's because it's an interpretation ABOUT CLARK KENT BECOMING SUPERMAN.

[Nightwing1977]

I think people don't care about superman again.

And you know because.....? I think putting some pics on Newsweek one time is an example people care about Supes again. Isn't that why they put it, hmm? ;)

[Retroman]

Anyone seen the poster in theatres????:confused:

[KalKai]

Smallville is going on it's 5th season. And you know why? It's not because of the actors, or the sometimes confusing storylines, it's because it's an interpretation ABOUT CLARK KENT BECOMING SUPERMAN.

What? not because of the actors? so if they replace all the cast or TW everything would still be the same? I don't think so, SV wouldn't work with a different cast.

[Pickle-El]

What? not because of the actors? so if they replace all the cast or TW everything would still be the same? I don't think so, SV wouldn't work with a different cast.

Don't get me wrong, they do an adequate job...and some of them are worth watching every damn week. (Glover/Rosenbaum) However, I don't watch the show to see 'names' or pretty faces. I watch the show to see Clark become Superman. The show is, and ALWAYS has been, one big tease to SUPERMAN fans.

I didn't say I wanted the cast replaced. I said that I watch the show for the premise. Not to see said actor walking about for the umpteenth time without a t-shirt to get more girls (and married women) to boost demographics...I know it comes with the territory, but when it comes to 'names', people thought Dean Cain WAS Superman at one point. Where is he now? The audience that you love so much when you're on top, is so easy to forget just 1 year later when the hype machine is no longer there.

I'll take it one step further, I WANTED said actor to don the tights for SR...BUT, that haze whisked away one day when I realized I was only thinking that way because I was so accustomed to it after 3 years. Now, I can look at what is going on in a very different manner. It's windy outside and the view is clear all the way to the ocean.

That fair enough for ya?

Well then, 6 Million people per week is quite a few people that are still interested in Superman-based mythology on TV every week isn't it?Sure, if that were the only reason, but it's not. Here's two excerpts from Daily Variety articles, both dated 1/25/06. The articles were about SV and discussed some of the elements that make it such a successful show...


...Still, fealty to the spirit of the comics alone would hardly explain "Smallville's" resilience, surviving a handful of time-period shifts, including the always dicey proposition of being relocated in its fifth season, when viewer loyalty is easily shaken. Part of the show's durability stems from its playing on multiple levels to different constituencies. At various moments, "Smallville" is an action hour, sci-fi romp, teen soap, family drama and rethinking of comicbook mythology -- often all within the same episode. Small wonder that when the program was honored by the Museum of TV & Radio, the audience included children, teenage girls swooning over Welling and middle-aged men, asking about Clark's wardrobe and where the TV show exists vis-a-vis the films.

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117936818


...The show's ability to reach a large audience has given "Smallville" a shot at becoming the longest-running live-action superhero comicbook series in history: It's about to surpass the 104 episodes of Reeves' "Adventures of Superman" skein and looks likely to top the 120 episodes of the 1960s "Batman" next season.

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117936819




Basically, it's SV's broad appeal. SV's fanship reaches more than just comicbook aficionados. To pigeon hole all 6 million or so viewers into such a small demographic would be like saying the only people that watched Buffy were vampire fans.

<- hated Buffy. :O

As much as I enjoy watching Smallville....It's complete and utter trash compared to Buffy's writing and characters.

[Naite22]

People can say all the BS they want about SMALLVILLE , but the show (even though it's a bit dawsons creek in places!) is G-R-E-A-T!!! It's a cool show, and Welling is fantastic as young Clark!!

[Cinemaman]

I think there is big pressure on Singer from Superman fans, Superman comics fans, Superman movies fans, Smallville fans and press.

[musclesforsupes]

I will be very shocked if this movie bombs this year, I doubt it, but I would be shocked and it would probably be the biggest surprise in box office history if it did. Also if it did, I think the chances of any new Superman movie would be put on the back burner for a few years.

[AgentPat]

As much as I enjoy watching Smallville....It's complete and utter trash compared to Buffy's writing and characters.Psst... Hey Michael, y'know a bunch of Buffy's writers are on the SV staff now. Just sayin'. But I didn't post those excerpts to encourage slamming of either the show(s) or the film. Was just a note to Pickle about SV's viewership and wide appeal, that's all.

Ya think? LOL ;)


Actually Steven S. DeKnight and Drew Z Greenberg are the only writers from Buffy to work on Smallville as of late. Greenberg left and DeKnight is still a staff writer. The rest of Buffy's writers are on NBC shows or Gilmore Girls. But several of them actually are working on Lost. The big difference here is Whedon. He wrote a majority of the episodes and if he didnt he had a major hand in the story. Sorry but Gough and Millar are certainly no Whedon.

But as for posting excerpts to encourage slamming? Well then just dont do it. I dont quite understand a lot of peoples mentality these days. It's either Superman Returns or Smallville. No one can seem to agree to like both. But also no one can seem to stray into each forum without trashing the other or speaking poorly about the production. However when someone posts critically about either production it's because they are just bitter. There seems to be a lemming effect going on in all of these forums.

By the way Pat I wasnt trying to be critical of you. Just giving contrasting opinion. If you know of other writers from Buffy on Smallville I'm not trying to argue that. :)

[Tron5000]

Uh, yeah, so I think the poster is pretty cool...

---Fifty Hundred

[TheSuperBatFan]

ah, threads going off topic. Gotta love it. Anyway, back on topic.

Anyone seen the poster in theatres????:confused:

I've seen it many times in theaters. Hell, I have my own copy of the poster and I still want to smash and grab it when I see it in theaters. the poster is pretty damn impressive imo, quite the eye catcher.

[Naite22]

If they get some hardcore trailers out, that even the non-loving comic book fan will find breathtaking, it'll attract 1000's of viewers that wasn't planning on going.. It also depends on how exstreme they are willing to go with the marketing campaign.. if they make this movie (through the PR) up to be the wildest movie experience ever, then it doesn't matter weather or not you're a fan of superman, cause even the scepticals will go see it just for the heck of it... Then if the movie truely rocks, the word will be spread, and then things could really head up...
I wonder what they're planning for the PR for this movie...Singer says it's huge! The S sield will be everywhere... I heard a while back, something about a huge S-shield-statue, spinning on a platform would be in every theater when aproaching the release.. this is gonna be way awesome!

[Retroman]

Heres a couple recent sightings of the S poster (not SR, but still cool) i found.

Thats the outside of the East Side Mid Town Comics. It's located next to Grand Central Station. I love passing it, but I love going into the store even more. :D

Oh, and these 5 pictures are pictures I sent in to Superadam at Kal-El.org. They are pictures of a store display from a department store named Francos. The store is literally a block from the Empire State Building, so there are a lot of people seeing it:

I thought they were simply shown the teaser one, which was hanging in Singer's office. They say something like "yes, the teaser poster is real". I hope it isn't the real one. I want a nice Superman 1-esque poster of him flying past the city or something.

We all thought that he was going to show us some drawings; after all, he had brought in a mock-up of the new Superman Returns poster just as we finished the interview.

Thats a riot!

I haven't even unrolled my Returns poster yet. It's neatly packed in my closet.

[SuperDaniel]

^^^^^ Thats such a copycat!!

[Showtime]

Thats weird. The X3 posters are all over the place.

I noticed that, I don't know if I posted this but I went to one of my local theaters and saw a huge X-3 poster and a huge X-3 cutout. Of course, there was nothing for Superman Returns. There was also a huge POTC2 poster.

I asked a girl behind the counter if she had received any Superman Returns posters and her response between chewing gum was:

"Superman?...RETURNS?"

[Sverdlovski]

Not Superman Returns related, but just to show how well known Superman is.

This is the front page of one of the most respected Brazilian newspapers. The article is about women seeking independent men:

argh! wrong shield!!! hehe....never-the-less, that would get me excited if i saw that in person...

wrong shield.

It is and so is the standee.

no superman. :(

[Showtime]

I am noticing the same thing here in the Boston area, X-Men 3 Posters and Full Cardboard Cut-Out

[Metropolis_Man]

Wheres the big gigantic S cutout when you need one. That thing would stand out so easily.

[Masut]

The only posters I've seen here in Aus is the standard one. But late last year I saw a tram covered in the \s/ logo. It was so cool. It wasn't the Returns shield though, just the original one.

[sameone]

X-Men 3 and POTC are over the place here. MI has stuff out too, WB not having anything seems odd. BB had stuff out here by thiss time last year and I thought the SR campaign was going to be like the BB one. But it is looking more low-key that BB so far.

[dark_b]

i guess they are holding back for may and june.

[GothicPowerMix1]

XI thought the SR campaign was going to be like the BB one

I am glad that the Superman Returns Campaign is NOTHING the Batman Begins one. With Batman Begins they showed so much so soon & also when the time came Marketing was basically non existent AFTER the Movie came out. Particuarly with the TV Spots. They stopped airing them completely AFTER the Movie came out when that s the time they should be airing NON STOP. I am glad in the long run that WB is doing it like this, They are LEARNING from their Batman Begins MISTAKES. That is the way I see it. Batman Begins had MUCH MORE against that Movie then Superman Returns does. Especially with the last 2 Batman Movies.

[Showtime]

^^Very true and very well said. I think the reason they are approaching the marketing like they are, is because of Batman.

[dark_b]

dnsk: i think they didnt want to make the same promotion.
i think that the purpose of the BB marketing was to show as much poeple as possible that BB is not like batman & robin.

[GothicPowerMix1]

With Icahn issuing a blistering report against TW a while back and his criticism of the waste in the movie division he has suits at WB running scared. So a part of the non-existent marketing so far is probably due to a cutback in the marketing budget. Right now WB would be scared to throw another 50 million into the film. Especially is Icahn gets control of the board. Jobs could be on the line.

I think the Indian Superman is as close as it gets to filling the shoes of the first true Superman.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

There should already be a poster. I can live without a trailer so far, although the time is near I am hoping...

We never have movie billboards around here. And I mean like huge billboards on the side of the road. The only one I have ever seen is one for Walk the Line, and that's probably because of the popularity of country music here in the south.

But man I would love to see a big ol Superman Returns billboard.

[Showtime]

Boston should have them, so I will be in luck.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

shouldn't be long now..until the new ones are released.

What happened to the Steve Y. trailer theory? Is this going to happen?!

I'm not worried about seeing a billboard. There are tons of them in and around Philly. But I just wish that the God damned posters would come out already.

I know what you mean, there is nothing like that around me either. I did see a big Chris Reeve billboard on the way home from Myrtle Beach that simply said "Superman" and i think it had some info on his paralysis foundation, but thats all I've seen. Definately nothing to do with movies around here. It would be nice to ride down the road and see a big Returns advertisement.

ohh you mean the guy from the supermanhomepage? :confused: some people are saying that he doesnt just put everything in the news. so he might really know something.

when did steve said this about the trailer? was this last week?


steve we want some good news about this incredible trailer :up::).

[Metropolis_Man]

Showtime was telling me that Steve stated he thought the trailer would be out by his next newsletter, which would be anywhere from the 10 to the 14 of this month. I'm pretty sure thats what it was. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

[ToddIsDead]

That's the jist of it.

[Metropolis_Man]

Sweet, I thought that was it, but I didn't want to put something out there that was incorrect. I'm sure there was more to it or something, but like you said, thats the jist of it :)

10 to 14 days was the prediction of the person who received Steve's email. Steve sends out a email, maybe bi-monthly, with Superman related news. On the last email he stated we should see the trailer before the next installment of the email is sent out, this would be about 10 -14 days. I think we are in the middle of the 10-14 days, but not sure? Anybody?

personaly i think all of this willl not happen. but i want it to happen so i will pray ;).

I'm sure hype would know something by now...considering nothing has been said... well draw your own conclusions.

I'm sure hype would know something by now...considering nothing has been said... well draw your own conclusions.this is also what i have been thinking. there is no way that this trailer would pup up from nowhere. they will promote the realese of the trailer like they did with star wars and if i remember batman.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

You know it makes sense.

[dark_b]

You know it makes sense.it makes. and because it makes sense i am again a little sad. because i wont see no new footage from the movie the next 3 weeks :).

well it could be worse. nic cage could have been superman in tim burtons vision with polar bears and gay robots from jon p.! :eek:

It does make a lot of sense. Let people know before hand that the teaser is coming. I'm pretty sure w'ed have some sort of announcement about it.

Do you think your dream will come true in Superman Returns. or has it already with the teaser trailer?

I think that what we saw in the teaser will be extended in the movie and we will see a close up of him floating through the sky, possibly taking a flight and pondering what to do next. Then maybe a disaster hits!

I think you are probably right. That would be great to see him just flying around then up above the clouds. I also like the idea someone had, of him having to fly back up there to recharge being closer to the sun.

because i can feel that this movie will be good because of that i want to see some new stuff. i dont want to watch every traielr and every tv-spot. i only want to watch this theatrical final trailer. thats the reason why i can not wait.
international trailers,tv-spots and tv-shows show to much of the good scenes. and i am that knd of guy who will watch this stuff on the net 100 times. and if i watch all tv-spots and trailer than it will be boring for me in the thater. and because i know what kind of a person i am i will nto watch other stuff.

Its a smart campaign putting it with Smallville. It seems like would be attatched with Smallville. I think it would definately generate one of the highest ratings for Smallville, hmmm, possibly.

I like this poster but i'd rather buy one with superman on it actualy. From the little glimpse we got from the ShoWest clip, looks like its worth the wait. I prefered Batman Begins teaser poster alot more. Im annoyed by how much they are banking on the S logo to do everything.

[Showtime]

Is that definately the Fortress that he is flying out of?

[millennium movies]

Pretty shure it is. Some reports i've read a little while ago seem to indicate so.

[dark_b]

i dont want to compare batman begins with SR. but was not the second poster realesed at the end of april? i think they will realese the new poster with the trailer.

p.s. someone said that on the posters behind singer it says only ''returns''.that would mean than that it is a second teaser poster.

so i am expecting the final poster in may/june.

[Metropolis_Man]

My poster is still rolled up in it's shipping tube.

I still dont have one. Too much money for me right now.
