BvS Batman V Superman Box Office Prediction - - - - - Part 14

[ZenTheAvenger]

Hahaha at the slating of the MCU, at this point it is miles better than the DCEU as it actually understands the characters, knows how to make films with serious themes and yet still have them be fun and enjoyable.

As for the Box Office which is this topic, it is clear to see that BvS is seriously underperforming. This should have been a lock on for over a billion, now it may not even make $900 million! With the amount of money spent on production and marketing, this is disastrous.

 

[Stark Bauer]

how does that work when it already has 270 million domestically ???

That should have read 320-330 thanks

 

[ImSGirl95]

It's weird that there are bigger and more realistic chances of Disney buying DC/WB than BvS making a billion.

 

[Stark Bauer]

I think they will leave the movie universes separated, but combine the Comics universe slowly, like having Superman show up in 616 to beat Galactus, or have Thanos show up on Apokolips and overthrow Darkseid. The MCU is too successful to F around with, Disney knows that.

Better yet just do a film adaptation of Patton Oswalt's filibuster. The Star Wars x Marvel x Greek Mythology lol

 

[Stark Bauer]

Forget just DC, I wouldn't be surprised if they bought Warner Bros. in its entirety in the future. Fox almost did it a few years back, but from what I understand they just couldn't settle on a price. If WB can't get a profitable DCEU off the ground, and if their new Potter franchise launch isn't the monster hit they're hoping for, I could see them reconsidering for the right price. And after that failed takeover bid, THR named Disney as one of the studios most likely to offer the right price.

What's left for Disney to buy?

Dreamworks (Shrek, How to train your dragon), WB (Looney Tunes, Hanna Barbera), Nintendo, SEGA, Sony, Fox's Marvel properties, Universal Studios' cartoons (The Land Before Time, An American Tail, Casper, Woody Woodpecker, Curious George)

And really, if you look at those nothing is in the same league at what Disney has. Nothing!
Them having only Star Wars is enough, because it is guaranteed every year a movie, which will be over a billion at least at the BoxOffice. And the endless merchandise and stuff they have for Star Wars.
And that's only on Star Wars part.
What about Marvel? LOL
And also Pixar and the animated department? Zootopia is a totally aclaimed and succesful movie. Frozen - highest grossing movie of 2013. Big Hero 6 and Inside Out won the Oscars.
They also have Disneylands here and there.
And I don't know the count of the Disney-owned TV channels ...

P.S: Sorry for going off-topic lol I just wanted to point it out, because I really hear all those comments here and there about Disney being evil and bad, bought the critics, it's kiddie, etc.. And yet they are the most succesfull and there is really no studio that close to them having what Disney has.
And it all started with a mouse.

The Boss is tracking at $24M for this weekend. If its able to achieve that number or come close, I'm almost certain BvS grosses $18M in its 3rd weekend. I said a week ago it wouldn't gross more than $22M in its 3rd weekend. I still think the domestic total for this movie somehow manages to finish on or around $330M but with the way its been dropping, could end up around $315M.

Seems to be slowing down overseas so I'm not sure it will have the legs to hit another $100M there. My original predictions since OW have been $330M dom, $550M foreign, $880M WW. So, we're likely looking at $315M-$330M dom, $525M-$550M foreign. This places the WW total at $840-$880M. Not exactly a box office home run.

Stay on topic people. There's other threads for discussing, comparing, or complaining about other things. Just some friendly advice.

I'm sticking with $850mil ww for now. I think around $330mil dom looks right, but I'd be surprised if the International drop isn't high this weekend (Jungle book is opening in a good number), and will be pretty much tapped out after the following weekend.

 

[Kanon]

Hard to follow if something has been posted already when I leave for half a day with all the Marvel vs DC "analysis" , but BoxOfficeMojo has BvS on top this weekend by half a hair

1-Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (4,102 theaters) - $22.59 M
2-The Boss (3,482 theaters) - $19.85 M

I think it's optimistic to expect The Boss to do so little money when that money is not spent on BvS (is BvS does $27M+ I can see that). Maybe people are saving themselves for next weekend.

Holding number 1 will at least give WB the "Number one for 3 weeks" blurb they can tag onto headlines & stuff.

Amazing to think 'The Boss' could beat it though. I still figure BVS will edge it but Jungle book the following week will be the end of it.

Jungle Book & Barbershop could drop BvS to third. In one swoop

If it does end up at about the $320-330M I would expect to see WB keeping the film going on any screen they can get for as long as it takes to get over $332M. I just don't see them wanting the film to have failed to achieve x2.0 modifier, even if they have to limp it along to get over the line. If it did if would be the most expensive film, with the highest OW (by a wide margin) to have failed to get a x2.0, and that is not the kind of stat you want to have to show to the shareholders.

I care about WB's ability to make middle tier movies. Disney won't do that. Look at what's become of Touchstone Pictures.

So then this should irk you:

Warner Bros. Mulls Releasing Fewer Films as 'Batman v. Superman' Stalls

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/warner-bros-mulls-releasing-films-881265

If WB refocuses its efforts on tent pole movies and neglects their mid range ones because there isn't enough money to do both (and at the present time there isn't), what's the point?

I read it. I don't like it but they don't say they'll completely stop making middle tier films. Make less of them, not completely get rid of them.

 

[wobbly]

So....Those Thursday numbers...I'm guessing $2.5mil.

 

[Joeyjojo72]

Methinks we should get back on-topic.

(Nice sarcasm though)

 

[Poni_Boy]

If this thing doesn't hit $800 mil by middle of next week, it's in even more trouble

 

[Joeyjojo72]

I'm thinking around $900m when its all said and done.

 

[wobbly]

Well, I think it's safe to assume it's not gonna get significantly more after Jungle book comes out, so yeah...The sooner it can get that $800mil the better for WB. 'Last chance saloon' this coming week I think.

 

[Stark Bauer]

It's not touching $800M next week. Or even by next weekend

By mid next week it will be around 760M-770M.

After next weekend, 780-790M

So probably by mid week following the 4th weekend or after the 5th weekend it will crawl to $800M

 

[Stark Bauer]

$850M WW is the ceiling for this movie. And unfortunately that ceiling is getting lower and lower. I can see it going as low as 820-830. Realistically.

 

[Flint Marko]

Damn if this doesn't touch 850 then it's an even bigger disappointment than we'd initially thought.

well its not true

the movie with ww numbers tue/wed had 720.000,00, and with this weekend including Thursday at minimum 24.000,00 dom and 33.000,00 OS what put this with 770.000,00 at minimum after sunday.

 

[Webhead38]

Thursday take for BVS - $2.7 million
