BvS Batman V Superman Box Office Prediction - Part 4

[TripleJ]

I didn't actually mean it in that respect, but with respect to MoS being the one and only impression of the DCEU. And that it came out 3 friggin' years ago. Time to move on.

But...

I still disagree with your assessment. Did MoS have flaws? Sure, it wasn't perfect. I still love it, and the majority of moviegoers have a positive impression of it. But in the age of interconnected, ongoing-narrative storytelling, it's no longer fair to judge a film a single entity. If BvS address some of the story and character issues of MoS, then yes, those issues are no longer as relevant with respect to the whole. Maybe not issues pertaining to MoS' pacing, structure, etc.

If it's fair to give a movie like TFA that benefit, it's fair to MoS too.

edit: Please, god, don't let me get started on MoS again.

I do agree with that, but I think it's also important that a film stand on its own (and from the interviews, Snyder and Co seems to aim for that).

And like I said, BvS won't fix all of MOS's problems - it will address many, but not all

My son is 8yrs – nearly 9yrs... and i'm taking him to see it!

Yeah, it occurred to me that it might tend to play out that dads will take sons to BvS and moms will take daughters to Zootopia.

 

[Tra-El]

I'm worried families take their kids to watch zootopia on Easter weekend over BVS and that takes away a decent chunk from OW box office numbers.

Just for sh%&^s and giggles, this conversation took place on my Newsfeed and people started talking about BvS and their children. The black box is a guy, the red a girl and the blue box is me. Hopefully, this is the consensus of the GA as I mentioned BvS being dark in case they took that into the child's consideration. The parent didn't mind:

Everyone will go watch BvS. Boys, girls, doesn't matter.

 

[jokesonm3]

Folks from Mars are planning to come to earth to watch BvS.

Although they were mainly hoping that MMH would be in BvS.

Fixed.

Supergirl is doing well now. They can get their dose of MM there.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Fixed.

In many cases, kids play so many video games (or watch their parents play) that their eyes are used to the darker screen scenes.

 

[Marz69]

The only competition Batman v Superman has is the Divergent sequel and My Big Greek Fat Wedding sequel for 3 weeks..... and that's if you want to call those comepetition.

I liked the first divergent but man, did the next one suck big time. This new one looks like a dud

 

[xxxxxx29]

To be fair to it, the last Divergent movie had a 52m opening weekend.

 

[JOE]

Not only did Divergent open to 52M but so did Insurgent. Each made almost 300M. It won't be huge, but it'll definitely take some seats away.

 

[Pickleweasel]

If I remember right insurgent had a 70% drop second weekend with little competition

 

[Snark88]

Just watched Collider Movie Talk where they discuss the mini review from EW. They gave their RT predictions at the end. Christian said 64%, Dennis 68%, and the chick said 71%

[Snark88]

If the film is divisive, I know it'll be disappointing to see, but it should also come to no surprise. Snyder is a polarizing director, that's just how it is. While I believe I'll love the movie, Anthony' from EW's tweet has made me more confident than ever that we'll have another Man of Steel situation on our hands, although I don't think it'll be quite as divisive. So yea, probably 60-70% range this time.

That will be decided in due time. I am optimistically thinking it'll get in the 80's.

 

[fake]

Not only did Divergent open to 52M but so did Insurgent. Each made almost 300M. It won't be huge, but it'll definitely take some seats away.

Allegiant is opening to around 40M and falling more than 70% on BvS weekend, it is losing IMAX and LPF screens to BvS.

Divergent is a franchise that has never broken beyond its base and Presales for the new movie are the weakest so far. The previous movie was propped up by 3D as well.

71% wouldn't be the end of the world..... but below 70% wouldn't be great. I'm personally thinking 75% to 78%.

This

Under 70 is bad, real bad.

 

[Snark88]

I agree, they can't keep chugging out less than 70% films, when Fox and Marvel are farting out 80 and 90% films like it ain't no thing. Yes I am aware of Fant4stic and Thor 2, but for the most part they're doing awesome. Less than 70% for a movie like Batman vs Superman, is unacceptable. But that's what WB signed up for when they thought it was a good idea to hire Zack Snyder again.

 

[Tra-El]

It seems in the quick review that it won't be as divisive, atleast the ending since there may be redemption coming; probably with Supes. The tender moment between Bats and Supes could be what the movie needs and it's good to see Wonder Woman be fierce. All these elements could sway the critics in a totally different direction, esp if the movie is good. But, it did say that fans will have plenty to talk about and a lot to argue about.

I'm going to say 75-79%, that's my lowball prediction.

 

[Snark88]

I think as long as the script is good, there really shouldn't be any good reason the film would get mixed reception. I tell you one thing though, if the film IS decisive, WB has a situation on their hands where they're gonna have a hard time getting people hyped for Justice League.

It's upsetting our benchmark for reviews is so low. I remember the days where 70s would be astronomically bad.

Now I'm only optimistic it might get mid-70s.

 

[Angel0fDeath]

I remember the days when people cared only for the quality of the movie, not some score on RT and how much money it makes.
