BvS Batman V Superman Box Office Prediction - Part 2

[Marvin]

f7 and jw speak to the idea that there are things outside of sheer quality that can push a film to doing massive numbers. All those upper tier box office movies argue this actually.

 

[DlAMONDZ]

JW and Furious 7 were fun af to watch in theaters so it doesn't surprise me that people kept going back for repeats

 

[Snakewise]

Probably a good reason why the Transformers movies make loads of money and Fantastic Four failed big time. If you're gonna make a terrible movie, at least make sure it's not boring.

I am praying for 2 things with this movie

1. Snyder nails the Batman-Superman fight
2. WB knocks the marketing out of the park leading up to release

If both these happen, we will see huge numbers on OW and beyond.

True. Fun is a keyword (And Marvel has taken full advantage of that).

A good movie doesn't guarantee BO success.

Of course, that doesn't mean a serious movie can't make big bucks (Dark Knight for instance).

Just need to be worth watching again (for the GA).

All eyes and potential repeats for this film will be mainly focused on what the title promised everyone when they go to the theatre.

Batman vs Superman

As long as the fight scenes are incredibly fun, intense and the pure definition of absolute awesomeness, people will bring there friends and family along to see it again for the awesome moments of the film. not to mention both BvS and F7 have another huge factor that will help them which is not the Easter weekend: Lack of competition.

Every billion dollar behemoth of this year achieved the billion dollar mark in less then 14 days (2 weeks) and from what's releasing in late march/early April there is hardly any competition whatsoever, theatres all over the planet will be playing BvS in all their screens as long as WB's marketing is on point for this film.

So as long as WB use the same amount of marketing as MoS or even more will be more then enough, in fact here's a video that one person made that shows us ALL the marketing man of steel had since its announcement up until its release which is truly amazing.

[DlAMONDZ]

Seen that. To think so many people complained about the marketing for that movie

WB went in

 

[DlAMONDZ]

Throwing up an overall number for this is kinda hard. Can't really predict how it fares oversees

We could see an explosion where it goes on to make 800M to 900M or it "disappoints" and it's domestic/foreign split is something like 45/55 ala MOS

Hmm, I wonder if it's the same team marketing for this film (it's a lot different - one teaser, and then a trailer).

Although I can't argue with the success of the Trailer

 

[STARMAN]

I'm confident in the marketing.

Most definitely it's WB handling all their marketing for BvS and beyond.

 

[DlAMONDZ]

I hope we get a 'Fate of Your Planet' type trailer with Star Wars. I remember everybody in theater got hyped when that one came up

With China literally having exploded since 2013 - the top Hollywood movie of 2013 in China won't even be in the top 10 for 2015 most likely - BvS needs to do its best to secure a good release date. 200M from China alone is possible. Terminator: Genisys just opened to a 30M OD in China, the market expansion is helping every movie a lot.

 

[jokesonm3]

If only there was a website out there that had an accurate showing of release dates in China for the year, that would honestly help sort this all out, BvS just needs a minimum of 3 good weeks of no competition in China to make a big splash there.

Crazy. So much for that not making enough for sequels lol

China release dates are not decided until 3-4 weeks before release. No website will have an accurate release date for China because the Chinese censors don't know yet either.

 

[jokesonm3]

Im guessing that we all agree here that BvS is all but secured the domestic box office to at-least a cool $400 million, as long as the film opens in 60+ markets OW rather then MoS 22 markets then here's hoping that its international box office is good too.

 

[DarthAlani]

Finding Dory, Rogue One and Civil War will be its biggest threats.

 

[jokesonm3]

Competition wise im not sure, however from the perspective of the all around box office then yes that is a cause for concern.

 

[BlackStar]

I genuinely believe that a critically successful MOS sequel without the type of ridiculous competition MOS received would probably have made a billion dollars at the box-office. So with the addition of Affleck's Batman and Wonder Woman in BVS, I have no doubt that this film will gross about 1.5 billion dollars at the box-office.

If this film manages to be well-liked by critics, it will be a massive monster at the box-office.

to be well-liked by critics? impossible.

 

[BlackStar]

I know that this is probably sarcasm, but I really think that Terrio's screenplay will be loved by critics and the general public. It looks like he's telling a very meaty story in the film. Plus, it looks like Eisenberg's Luthor will give critics what they obsess over: humour.

 

[jokesonm3]

As long as we get a minimum of a 70%+ RT score then just like Jurassic World this film will be big.

Do overseas GA really care about RT. I think they don't care that much for this type of event film. WOM should be good.

Agreed word of mouth will be the driving force of the overseas box office.
