BvS Batman V Superman Box Office Prediction - - - - Part 13

[titansupes]

Rth is reporting 3.1 million for Monday.

Holy ****.

 

[Charlie The Red]

Rth is reporting 3.1 million for Monday.

That's bad.

At first I thought that was insanely low, but then I remembered that most kids are still in school. I'd imagine someone is really wishing they'd secured a slot in the heart of the Summer to get better weekday numbers.

This whole ordeal is turning into a real shame.

It wouldn't have been given anything like such a wide berth in a summer month. Any decent competition from holdovers, same weekend or soon after would probably have seen this fall even lower.

Honestly I think they picked the best slot they could and it's falling fast with zero competition.

Ugh. Terrible. BvS isn't just dropping, its racing toward the ground with the engines going full blast.

Wow. People aren't just rejecting this movie they are outrigh ignoring it.

 

[Saitou Hajime]

How low can this go? Lower than GotG? Lower than IM2?

WB didn't want any competition, so March is the best possible month especially since Furious 7 did extremely well last year at the same slot. To have zero competition and still have this drastic drop is a bad sign for the movie.

 

[Iceman]

It's collapsing now.

How about spending an extra seven months to make a better movie and release it in December? I don't think that could've hurt.

Won't know for sure until this weekend but I'd say at this point $800 mil isn't a guarantee anymore

 

[Henshin]

That would've put it against Rogue One. Disney's claimed each December for the Star Wars advertising blitz.
I don't think more time would have helped either, they had a long time already. The issue was the foundation it was built on.

 

[Iceman]

It's so good I'm morbidly curious what will become of the WB-backed version coming out next October.

I saw the trailer last night for the first time and it is amazing! This is going to be huge. I didn't know there was another version next year either. Anyway will look for the right thread.

Ha the last few years I've probably used the words guaranteed to do a billion so many times. You know I used to be good at this box office prediction crap until about a year ago and since then have been wrong nearly every time. t:

This I can agree with 100%, but I'll save it for another thread.

I think BvS and Deadpool are marking the beginning of a new outlook for box office predictions where you really have to see the movie first to make borderline accurate predictions of reception and box office

"This is on Fantastic Four levels"? YIKES.

Hey, it's hard for me to imagine it having drops like that.

I'm probably going to see it this weekend again, I'll see if I have any theaters to myself.

Are there any international holidays that might possibly help boost this? I'm having a hard time seeing 900M WW.

The Fantastic Four WISHES it had the box office of BVS.

True and true. To be fair, when a movie has a huge opening, the drops tend to be more precipitous. To be honest, approaching 70% is a huge drop from 1st to 2nd weekend. Obviously the public's reaction to this movie was less than hoped for by the studio. A movie starring Batman and Superman should not have a DOM take anywhere near a movie starring The Guardians of the Galaxy. This coming weekend will be telling.

Damn... told y'all the WOM was toxic AF.

 

[InCali]

Super Hero Fatigue.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist saying it.........

 

[FunkMiller]

Rth is reporting 3.1 million for Monday.

Legit stunned if accurate.

 

[jokesonm3]

And with that announcement, a 60%+ 3rd week drop is inevitable for its domestic box office.

I don't see anyway under it, especially if that monday trend continues throughout the week.

 

[Sithborg]

I was thinking around 5, just because some schools are still out for spring break this week.

Guess not. At this point, it has been a solid week of below Furious 7. Guess I should stop trying to guess over Furious 7.

 

[SomeOldGuy]

How low can this go? Lower than GotG? Lower than IM2?

Feels like GotG domestic is best case right now, though it could recover some on the weekend. IMO no shot at beating Deadpool domestic now.

It appears that way, doesn't it? Overseas box office is dropping 50% in various places. If it continues with drops like this domestically, I think my $330M domestic prediction might be too high, lol.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

What does it matter if some kids are still enjoying spring break? This film isn't for kids as Snyderchasers so proudly assured us. So that wouldn't really affect the BO.

Furious 7 is a good comparison but BvS has been very unpredictable (I'd argue otherwise, lol.) The best movie now that we can compare it to box office wise, IMO is Spider-Man 3 since its OW was $151M and received a 77% drop on Day 11 down to $3.5M after its 2nd weekend of $58M
