The Superman die hards were last weekend, this weekend and the next few will tell the real story about MOS. And yes Brandon Routh is a better Superman than Mr. Cavill. Their was nothing "iconic" in MOS except for SM catching Lois mid air a few times. MOS had a great fight in Smallville, a great scene we finally got to with the gravity ray and thats pretty much it. The fight with Zod was too long. Icon is Superman saving the plane and space shuttle. Icon is Superman flying up through the cloulds to the sun WITH EMOTIONAL MUSIC attached. But hey if you think Superman throwing Zod through countless buildings, snapping Zods neck, saving Lois from his own robot and struggling to fly, then ok. In no way am I saying SR is all that, I'm saying MOS is only slightly better. If MOS makes more than 300 million domestic I'll be in a state of shock. BTW SR didn't have hundreds of marketing tie ins as MOS nor did the producers of SR go peddling to christian churches begging christians to go see the movie because Superman = Jesus. ![]() Be thankful its made the money overseas it has for a seqeul. MOS = The Phantom Menace. Ton of hype, horrible plot, wooden emotionless acting, bad editing only saved by a few fights and other action. Just like the only thing that saved TPM was Darth Maul and people wanted to see a duel with a double bladed lightsaber. People are hearing the plot and story are stupid but the action is great. It won't be enough to carry it much more. I've told everyone I know to go see it and judge for themselves, a few have already told me they'll pass and wait until it comes out on bluray. |

It's funny, I don't think i've ever seen this much talk and coverage over a CBM's box office performance before. It just goes to show you just how much is riding on this film. |

The sequel will make up for it. All WB needs is to break even and some just like Begins.

Transformers was fun. It had levity. It was bright and colorful. It was fun to look at. It had sexy ass Megan Fox. That movie checked off all of the things you could possibly ask for in a dumb summer blockbuster. So of course, the dumb summer audiences responded in tune as they inhaled their tubs of popcorn and laughed at all of the one liners. I don't think Snyder set out to make a dumb summer blockbuster but unfortunately that's just how it plays. And in that regard, it's a bad dumb summer blockbuster. MOS is joyless. There's no levity. It's not very colorful. There's no tits and ass. It takes a good hour and a half before the 'splosions start and by the time they do, most of the audience is already physically and emotionally exhausted. And even though the action itself is exquisite and over the top, you grow numb to it rather quickly. |

WW should be around $700-750M which is similar to ASM.

To be fair, no film plans for that to happen.

Isn't MOS's budget around 250 mil? So it also needs to make alot more to recoup its investment.

Most fantasy films do better overseas than in the states.

I am Legend made 240 mil domestically and that had Will Smith who brings in triple the amount of most Brad Pitt movies (around 90% of them). With no merchandising partnerships. They're two different kinds of movies. WWZ reportedly never set out for that high of a budget.

Don't like the way you spin "first film". Man of Steel is not a first film basing on the Superman franchise. It's the sixth. There's already an established fandom. People know Superman and it's not something new. As for the highest grossing whatever, you can be sure the next Batman or Star Wars will beat the numbers as they also got the bandwagons too ready to roll.

$225M, actually. So following the 2.5X rule it becomes traditionally sequel worthy when WW it gets to at least $562.5M. A number it has a better than even shot at beating. Of course WB is kinda desperate now that they no longer have Nolan's Batman nor HP to buoy them financially so even if the film just made $500M I think they'd go ahead with the sequel. But a good(but by no means exclusive) rule of thumb is that a movie breaks even WW at 2.0X the production budget and 2.5X means it's worth making more of with sequels.

You're kidding, right?
MOS is going to make 290-300 million DM and likely 400 million OS, and you're worried that there won't be a sequel? |

I'm assuming yes there will be. With overall WW numbers and Merc licensing, WB should recoup the investment. Of course they will tighten the budget for the sequel.

I agree with this for the most part, but there was some "Superman = Jesus" in Returns but it was only there from the Donner film, and I liked Cavill better as Superman, I also think he is a better actor, but in reality he is probably just as good as Routh (someone in my theater complained he looked like Freddy Mercury ??? lol....?). I wish they would get that stuff away from Superman. You don't see me putting a cape on a crucifix. Let Superman be Superman for once, he isn't Jesus. My eyes rolled so hard I could hear them when he goes to see the priest in that one scene (Kents were methodist anyway, not catholic) and there's a giant stained glass picture of Jesus behind him. Give me a break. Last edited by Kevin Smith; 06-22-2013 at 12:25 PM. |
