BvS Batman V Superman Box Office Prediction - - - - - - - Part 16

[Longshot777]

I thought they were going to release the 3 hour long ultimate cut in theaters???

Are they still going to do it??

On May 6 maybe???? Hmmm.

They have nothing to lose at that point, at least they can go out swinging and can do some damage.

It's very, very doubtful that the idea of a theatrical release for the longer cut was ever more than an idle thought. WB would have to take screens away from one of their other movies to do it. And it wouldn't likely make much; the re-release of Avatar only made $10 million. And this ain't Avatar. By the time you add up the P&A costs they would probably lose money.

Honestly? I think this film will impact both Wonder Woman and Justice League's box office performances. It simply boils down to how much. General audiences don't always differentiate between projects "by director"--they go by genre and series affiliation.

Now that being said, I don't believe the impact will be quite as bad for WW because Patty Jenkins is involved and if the WOM is good, it will wash off any lingering bad taste fans and critics may still have from BvS. But if the WW film is also mediocre? Forget it: Justice League will take a hit for sure.

But sadly, that chain reaction will have started with this film. These films are all part of a franchise.

I don't think it has that broad of an impact.

In fact, I think it will have had a positive impact on WW's box office.

Individual elements of this film were not bad, just the film itself. WW got people hugely hyped. It was kind of like people didn't realise how much they'd like to see WW until someone sneaked her in front of them.

So I'd argue the film was a positive for Wonder Woman and an eventual solo Batman film, a negative for Justice League, Superman and any further Snyder directed film, and a neutral to negative for Suicide Squad (which is close in terms of release), and Aquaman.

The rest of the films are too far in the future to be affected.

Box Office Mojo is predicting this comes in 9th place with 3.19 million

Not good numbers.

There weren't good numbers the day after opening...

There is a very limited segment of people out there who left seeing BvS in theaters with the idea that if only it were longer?

Only to themselves at this point. Putting out another cut in theatres would have limited appeal and likely cost them a lot more than they would earn.

I'd imagine they will go for the 'double dip' on the home release. Theatrical cut first, then the extended one a bit later.

I would have watched as much as they wanted to give me, I loved it, I can't wait for the Extended Cut.

 

[kedrell]

Been running some simulations with the projections regarding the interesting match-up between BvS & Zootopia and unless the latter has a sub-10% drop this weekend(which it almost certainly won't), this weekend alone won't be enough to close the $2.89m edge BvS currently enjoys over it*. But Zootopia should go back to it's usual 25% drop range which would mean a $4.75-$5m weekend for it and given that I gave BvS the same really good(for IT at least) 39% drop that it enjoyed last weekend again for this upcoming weekend($3.35m for BvS) that means that it's lead will shrink to around $1.25m after this weekend. Then the next few week days should bring that lead down to an even $1m which next weekend should surely see Zootopia eclipse BvS once more and for the final time to emerge victorious(on the same weekend as Civil War opens domestic).



* Zootopia will undoubtedly gain another $50-$100k** on BvS from Thursday's numbers but those aren't available yet so these projections are off the Wednesday(4/27) numbers.

**It gained another $85k on Thursday.

 

[AndrewOz]

So WW impacts it but BvS doesn't?



If anything WW will have less of an impact because it's an almost completely different creative team.

What the hell are they going to put in the trailer for JL?

"From the director and writer that ruined Batman and Superman's first on-screen team up, comes their second on screen team up"?

And no disrespect intended, but you are in a very limited segment of people. I liked the movie okay (probably 7/10); which I think puts "me" in a somewhat limited segment of people, but I sure as hell didn't walk out of the movie thinking "Gee, I wish this could have been longer" or "Wow, I can't wait for the extended edition".

Actually 7/10 puts you about on the money around these parts if the voting in the rate the movie thread is any guide. I worked out the average yesterday just for fun and it was 6.879. So 7/10 is about the hype consensus.

I do want to see the extended cut, if only because I want to know if the story will be any more coherent without the need to edit parts out to get more showings in the cinema.

Oh God. I'm finally normal. It feels really strange.....you should work out the %age of people who want the extended cut to show at the theaters. t: EDIT: We have 2 so far.

I wonder what that would do for the BO numbers. I'll bet less than 5M....maybe a lot less.

 

[RLAAMJR.]

Just looked back to the start of the thread as I was curious what people were predicting.

Ah I remember those days well, when if a person didn't think this would be the greatest movie ever made they were called a troll/marvel fanboy and sent to the "Constructive Criticism" thread with all of the other interlopers.

ROFL!

I always stated that JL was the film I'd expect the full billion figure out of. Just saying

Better prediction. I also predicted it will not reach 1 billion dollars.

 

[Lily Adler]

I thought it would hit a billion, and have a rating at least on par with MOS. Boy how naïve was I!

 

[Micromind]

Close enough. I couldn't find my prediction, but I think I said about 750 to 800 mil. The thing is two heroes fighting based on Frank Miller's take was never going to get immense popularity, the concept itself is not going to look heroic, or family friendly, so 850 mil. is good enough for such a movie.

 

[Erzengel]

I was one of the people who was saying that if it didn't do $1B it'd be a "failure". Even if it was around the same quality as MoS, I would have said $1B. I wasn't expecting that type of movie. I'm upset that it wasn't what I was hoping for.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Gee, this movie has really divided people hasn't it.

 

[FunkMiller]

Gee, this movie has really divided people hasn't it.

Like Robin's battle-axe through someone's face.

 

[Baneis8feettall]

What a failure. They should make a docummentary of this.

 

[samsnee]

Gee, this movie has really divided people hasn't it.

Not really. I say a majority don't like it or could care less for it but a passionate minority makes it seem more even sided, especially in this forum.

No disrespect taken or offence. I appreciate not everyone feels the way I do about the film. No hard feelings whatsover.

It's got to be more than 80 feet wide. the Chinese theater in LA is about 95 or something. I know Toronto was the first theater to get the new IMAX digital projector and upgraded sound system. Isn't Toronto the IMAX Corp headquarters or something like that? I frelling LOVE Toronto. I was there for a convention, went to a baseball game, totally touristed out and went to dinner at that restaurant way up in some skyneedle type of building, and then went to Niagara Falls (The Canadian side is WAY better than the US side BTW). Toronto is frelling awesome.

Oh...BvS. I got my ticket at the Cinemark. They have killer early bird deals and I paid something like $11 for their XD (premium) showing. It's "fairly" comparable to IMAX as they use dual 4K Barco projectors, though I prefer the IMAX sound system to Auro 11:1. One of the Cinemark's has BOTH sound systems so I guess if something is mixed specifically for the Auro or something like that, I guess they'd use it.

Sorry for tech geeking out....I'm, well, a tech geek....

No need to apologize. I am a self confessed audiophile and videophile...I've read reports that the scotiabank theatre is 55 feet high and 75 feet wide. I will ask when I go there next week.

Well I, for one liked the movie.
