BvS Batman V Superman Box Office Prediction - - - - - - Part 15

[Spiderdevil]

Flavor of the week. t:

Same thing happened before, he took a swipe at Thor before MOS and Thor 2 made almost as much as MOS did

 

[Holy Slapper]

Yeah I think with Momoa cast as Aquaman you can tell which direction they're gonna go with the character. Would love to be proven wrong though.

I wish I knew who else they were looking at for Aquaman.

I'm much more worried about their director for Flash than any of their casting choices

Should've stuck with Vinnie Chase...

 

[GreenKToo]

Some say that the potential of losing the rights WAS the reason Man of Steel was even made.

True. Judge ordered them to have a film made or at least be in production by the end of 2011. I remember it well.

 

[titansupes]

^ From memory, WB weren't going to lose the rights for that-- they would've just had to pay the Siegel/Shuster families a big penalty, since they were arguing WB weren't exploiting the character enough not having a movie out every X number of years.

 

[KangConquers]

You know, I was originally skeptical about the 400M number. However, if the production budget for the movie actually did approach 300M, then yeah, it becomes plausible. At least if you assume they spent an inordinate amount on marketing, which is believable.

$150 M isn't an inordinate amount for a top level tent pole. Both Avengers films, The Force Awakens, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and the first Hobbit film spent $150 M ww on marketing.

 

[wobbly]

How do you know they didn't?
I saw two major collaborations.
Turkish Airlines
CompareTheMarket

I expect there were a lot more worldwide.

Keyword is 'collaboration'. Those commercials were advertising the film as well as the airline or meerkat website.

I doubt either paid WB anything remotely close to the $150mil marketing bill to effectively advertise the film for them.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

That is just... just... I mean.... wow.

The movie has been out for nearly a month. What do you really expect?!

It has weak legs? No? Okay...

The thing that I hate most about Zack Snyder is how pompous he's become since he took on DCEU and the amount of smack talk he's dished out about Marvel over the past 3 years. For a guy whose movies are generally average or below average he sure like to put other people down. That's why I am not going to be behind any of his movies going forward. The sooner WB get rid of this a-hole the better DCEU will become.

 

[Joeyjojo72]

JOE I saw what you did there. Chin up kiddo!

Even though in general I enjoy his joints, he is truly insufferable sometimes.

 

[SomeOldGuy]

$800k Tuesday per BO. Domestic now $312.78M.

Zootopia took in $760k. Might pass BvS in the dailies by tomorrow.

And finally daily multipliers are stabilized (it's almost the exact drop that F7 had on the same day -BvS 23.07, F7 23.06-)

They should have saved it for TASM2.....

 

[Sithborg]

I believe so to, but as someone pointed out to me by the time JL is released then Flash and Aquaman will already be deep into filming if not done by then

I imagine Suicide Squad will have a bit of a bigger effect on when those films actually go into shooting.

 

[Logan0327]

Worldwide: $833,880,395

 

[Spiderdevil]

Hate to be pessimistic but I am sure some of the movies (Aquaman, Flash, Shazam) will get cancelled if either of Suicide Squad/Wonderwoman fails

 

[MadVillainy]

Probably but Im still holding on hope that at least Suicide Squad won't fail commercially or critically. If that fails then I might be done with the DCEU because then it proves it's not just a Snyder thing.

 

[RLAAMJR.]

I really don't think Suicide Squad will do better than BvS in terms of worldwide sales.

But the review will be better.

I think the $150 million advertising budget is just a rough guess. I don't think the people writing about the cost of this film actually have a clue as to the advertising budget. I see the $150 million number thrown around for every $200 million+ big budget film these days from AOU, BvS, Good Dinosaur, TomorrowLand, etc. I find it hard to believe they all had the same advertising budget.

Just 3 to 4 years ago the maximum advertising budget I ever heard any film having was $100 million. I don't see how ad budgets could have increased by 50% in such a short period of time.

 

[JKKS085]

Really wondering if this film could become the first cbm tentpole not to get a 2.0 multiplier. It's gonna be close for sure. Wondering what the theater count drop will be be next week end. In any case it needs to perform less horribly in the next couple of weeks before Civil War drops out and wipes the floor with whatever is left of this insane bo run.

I really don't like to talk extensively about bo for films that I truly despise because I feel I can't really look at the numbers from an unbiased perspective but browsing this thread I am surprised that we didn't even get the usual suspects going out of their way to prop up the numbers in lengthy and often barely intelligible messages. I guess it speaks volume about the film's terrible performance. In all honesty who would have thought that a film featuring Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman would struggle to just break even ? That's crazy.

Considering BvS is at 28%, it's hard to imagine the DCCU sinking lower than that.

Lookup this term, "inflation". The cost of business goes up massively each year and Avengers was one of the first massive tent-pole CBMs to go over $150m for advertising, hence, other studios followed suit. It's a riskier move that hasn't worked out for a few CBMs this one included. Sometimes that massive marketing push gets the public hyped and your movie delivers. Other times it's just the icing on the cake of failure and you end up making a deal with Marvel Studios so they can make a proper move with a beloved character their studio almost ruined.
