Maybe because they know, there won't be anymore Star Wars films. Or because they have to follow certain continuity. But Superman on the other hand is a different beast. There has been dozens of interpretations and everyone of us wants something different.

![]() Everybody knows that WB's decision to release the next POtter movie this years instead of nov. '08 was because of the (feared) performance of Watchmen and Terminator. I'm sure other people saw that as well. There are very few movies that are sure fire blockbusters before they're even released. Recent examples of this are 300 , Transformers and Star Trek. Although movies may look good when thy're being promoted by releasing clips , trailetc etc , in the end you really don't need how a movie might perform untill the movie actually is released . Watchmen and Terminator fall in that last category. I think it was the summer of 2006 when WB really felt the absence of movies like Potter with so many of their high profile movies not making the $$$ ( Superman Returns and Poseidon). So naturally they learned their lesson. Summer '08 started bad for WB with Speed Racer bombing financially however they got their money with TDK's success. Because the Potter movies have always been a goldmine for WB ( so much so that they can cancel the negative BO results from other movies) , i feel that WB's doesn't need to worry about Supermans return just to compensate losses . 2009-2010-2011. 3 years with a Potter movie being released each year. There was talk that WB was trying to release superhero movies fone franchise 3 years apart so that would've meant that we'd see the next Batman movie in 2011. But given that Nolan is doing Inception ( which judging from reports seems to be a bigger picture then the small-scale Prestige ) for a summer 2010 release , my guess is that next Batman movie will come out in 2012. Although we haven't heard nothing from WB regarding an active development for a Superman sequel , WB could technically release the next Superman movie in 2013. However personally i'd rather seem them release the next superman movie in 2012 IF at least Batman 3 is also released in 2012 simply going by the logic that Batman 3 will most likely perform very well. 2011 could've also been a good year but WB is releasing the last Potter movie in July , Green Lantern in June and Happy Feet 2 in November. The first superman movie also came out in december if i'm not mistaken but IMO WB should be smart enough not to screw up their own movies by releasing them so lose to each other. Happy Feet performend very well during the nov.-dec period. It's really a question of how WB wants the Superman sequel to be but i it's anything like Superman Returns , the audience wo'n't flock to the movies. You need to have that fun/entertainment factor that made moives like the POTC trilogy , Transformers & spider-man such a such a FINANCIAL success/

Not if a whole lot of moviegoers suddenly start liking it a lot, spreading good word of mouth as to how good it was, and get more people to go see it. Of course, the movie will have to do its part first.

I know that you don't like this thread, but do we have only to talk about the "casting" of the supposed reboot forever? Till yesterday filmnerdjamie wrote that Summer 2011 is occupied by the T:S sequel. I wonder only if it has changed and if there is a chance that someone at WB can think that maybe Superman can be reintroduced in less than 3 years. |

I've been of the opinion for the past 2 weeks that Salvation would under-perform and this would be it for the franchise. Increasingly advanced "Meh!" word-of-mouth mixed with the insane popularity and success of Star Trek.
That said, I still thought it would at the very least win the weekend box-office (i.e. around $75 million!)

There seems to be a similar pattern in the TS thread. There are a lot of 7, 8, and even the occasional 9/10s, but also quite a few people saying "This movie stunk! I'm glad it's the end of the series."

TS has nothing to do with the Superman franchise.
The fanboys are really reaching this time. |

But SR was released 3 years ago!!!! And we are still talking about it the same way, there's no ending. IMO the only way this will be over is if they announce a reboot with Brandon Routh on the leading role. That way people that hated the movie probably will get the film they wanted and the ones who loved it, at least get to see Routh again. At least Iknow I would be happy.

The main reason why Routh's still in the running is because they like him, not because you do. Last edited by NeoRanger; 05-25-2009 at 06:35 PM. |

Terminators failure clearly doesnt come as a shock to W.B. The argument would be "Well, they pushed Batman from 2011 to 2012 so T5 could go there, now thats not happening", however Warners DID just move Green Lantern to summer 2011. With Harry Potter winding down, here is W.B. 's tentative schedule, atleast that I can forsee. Again, like 2010, they can and will pull a film out of their ass ala "Inception" and make it as a tent pole, but heres the way it looks.
2010: Inception 2011: GreenLantern 2012: Batman 2013: Green Lantern 2014: Green Lantern GL could go in either 2013 or 2014; IF Superman is going to be on the big screen any time soon, all signs point to one of those years. Knowing W.B., 2013 looks like the earliest. However, next thing you know, we'll be hearing about a "Matrix Rebooted" film instead. Quote:
