BvS Batman V Superman Box Office Prediction - Part 1

[DawnOfJustice16]

I think it will nearly gross 1.3 billion ww like frozen .

notice how the Hunger games mokingjay part 1 has a 69% on RT? if that movie makes 150m+ OW then its proven that hype alone is far more important than critical reviews, therefore i think BvS with hype alone can cross at least a billion dollars

Said hype was earned through goodwill from 2 excellent films.

BvS is going off brand recognition.

Different story.

BvS will need some awesome advertising for sure. Mockingjay part 1 missed a vital trick by limiting its advertising and may end up the lowest grossing of the THG series. Of course, with WB marketing behind it, I am not worried.

It needs to be a carpetbomb campaign though, for a month leading to release, BvS needs to dominate the airwaves. And of course BvS has IMAX and 3D helping out, the 3D will be a major added boost compared to TDK and TDKR.

i don't understand why Hunger Game 3 (a super terrrible movie - you r very much wanna stab yourself and bang your head to the wall while watching it in cinema) can easily earn ++250M (more than CA 2).

i wonder if BvS was a super terrible movie like HG3, can it earn as much or not...

HG3 appealed to a broader audience (ie women because of the lead and the romantism of the story). To me, that's why.

 

[Zordan]

2 billion easy

 

[Pickleweasel]

Honestly think this could get to 750 million in just the U.S and China

 

[Zordan]

every single body is going to see this.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

$2 Billion is low-balling it.

 

[Zordan]

http://boxofficemojo.com/alltime/world/ it should get the first place

I can't believe Avatar is first. What a garbage.

Saw MoS 6 times in theaters. Looking to double 'dat with BvS

never thought JL has such a huge draw factor. and to me, HG3 doesn't deserve to make more than 200M. it's so freaking bad. can't believe it has >60% RT score.

I totally agree with you

The predictions here are getting out of hand. On the box office forums' China box office thread, the resident Chinese expert is predicting 180-200M in China for this movie as the Chinese box office will have expanded greatly in the next 14 months.

Domestically, TDKR should be the target, 448M, it needs a 180M OW to hit 448M. 75-80M from the UK is definitely possible, and around 50M from South Korea, the rest of Europe will add around 100-150M. Beyond that completely depends on how well it plays in Latin America and Asia. The Marvel movies (apart from Thor) are very strong in Latin America and Asia, Thor is stronger in Europe. If BvS can attract a good amount of people in Latin America and Asia, its journey to 1B will be easy, else we may see a slow trod like Hobbit 1.

What's do you mean about out of control???

The 1.3-2B predictions are crazy. Only 6 movies in history have crossed that limit ever. BvS has almost no chance of going that high, if BvS is awesome, then JL can definitely go that high.

I'm pretty sure those 6movies that you are referring to didn't have predictions as high as their gross.
Avengers for example= many was predicting 800-1bil not one person had a prediction of 1.6bil and also there's Avatar who would have thought 2.7bil
And for the latest example guardians of the galaxy not even marvel fans knew that movie was gonna open to almost 100mil u.s even I said 600mil ww and it stands at 771mil ww.
Guys and critic's like you have to realize how big this really is, BvS will have a wW opening weekend close to or possibly a half a billion dollars 180-200 mil U.S and170-220 o.s so in three days it will reach its half way point by the second weekend BVS will be close to knocking at the door of 400 Dom and o.s will most likely double its opening weekend by week 3 we DC fans will be popping champaign bottles.
I'm not saying its gonna make 2bil but it definitely has a shot At 1.6

We also have to factor in BvS great release date right in the middle of spring break, and with 6 weeks to run wild without any significant competition to speak of. So basically it has 6 weeks to it self to clean up at the box office. At the end of that 6 week run I think BvS will be looking at 500-550mil domestic tally.

that's right on par with my prediction

That's being extremely generous. WB would be ecstatic if BVS hits Alice in Wonderland or Hunger Games' domestic numbers -- $300M to $410M -- and $800M-900M worldwide. Like jmc said, it has to capture the imagination as well as please moviegoers and critics. If it does that, the numbers could be higher.

If it can eclipse THG's $152M opening weekend record (or match it), then that bodes well for its playability. Best case scenario is that it plays like Captain America: Winter Soldier with a 2.73 multiplier. So if it hits $150M o.w. and holds similarly, it'll eclipse $400M when Captain America: Civil War opens. Now that's a great number.

I think WB's goal for OW will be to beat the March OW record, and they will try everything to make that happen for sure. The Easter weekend will mean that it will need to open big on Friday since Sunday moviegoing is muted.

Everything WB/Snyder have released so far gets everybody talking, just until they start releasing trailers, stills, and tv spots. I can see this breezing past 400 on it's way to 500+ domestic.

If the movie is great, the sky is truly the limit.

 

[GreenKToo]

THIS is one of those kinda films that if you predict anywhere between 850 mill and 1.5 bill, you will prolly be right.

As of now, without knowing much, i'm gonna lowball and say 850 mill minimum. once the teaser/trailer hits i'll rethink it.

 

[DlAMONDZ]

WB already have a guaranteed 60 bucks from me.

Superman & Batman for the first time? That alone requires at least 3-4 viewings.
