Superman Returns Box Office Preview

[Cinemaman]

I can't say i agree... I bet most male childern put a towl around there neck at some point and pretend to be the man of steel..

There can be another situation.

What if all family (parents, kids and teenagers) with fans will go to see SR, when it arrives, and then all will go to see POTC2.

But next week people will be divided in two sides.

One will go to see SR, another will go to see POTC2.

No it won't,your just living in this fanboy world where everyone loves superman and it is gonna make this enormous BO cos you want it to,you ignore all the factors and just plow on

Whether it makes 225 mil or 300 mil the bottom line is this franchise is proving too costly. WB can't afford it IMO. They are going to shell out 200 million for films sparingly over the next few years. HP and Batman but beyond that I doubt we will see any 200 mil dollar WB films in the near future.

 

[Cinemaman]

There's no logic to that statement,Incredibles was cool and funny and had superheroes in it,talking Cars may not have the same appeal

Are you sure?

And please stop saying that I have no logic.

People thought that Incredibles will not make more than $200m, but they were wrong.

The same with Cars.

No, if I want it, it will not be.

People can't hear only me.

But they also can't hear only you.

For Spidey, mor than $800m was not realistic.

For POTC, more than $650m wasn't realistic.

The same here.

People don't expect from SR big numbers, but they will be amazed.

For Narnia, more than $280m wasn't realistic.

But Cinemaman you don't use Logic,you don't examine individual cases you link every BO guess to previous movies and that isn't how things work
The Incredibles had a ton of things going for it from the superhero characters to the funny adult relationship and family jokes,Talking Cars may very well not interest ppl,just because they are made by the same ppl doesn't make their BO relatable

 

[VGPOP]

AGREED. I HATE when people says it will make BB numbers!

It won't.

It all depends in the story of the movie, quality, WOM. that's it. If it's a good movie (and that's what Bryan Singer is doing), then people will go see this movie no matter the competition.

Fans will see movie no matter how it turns out.

It's the quality, story, and WOM that will decide the success of this movie (and ANY movie...)

It all depends on that trailer as well. SR will have 4th of July weekend by itself. And it opens on a FRIDAY. People are forgetting this. It opens on a FRIDAY.

I don't like to "guess" box office numbers without any "data" (like a theatrical trailer, number of theaters, lenght of the movie, marketting, etc).

But I can say this, opening on a Friday (holiday weekend) almost two decades of waiting, no competition at all, a movie about the world's greatest hero of all time, sky's the limit. That's all I can say.

Don't compare this superhero to others because if he is n#1 of all time (and I'm not saying he is n#1 NOW, but all time), then why the comparison? Huge fanbase. From kids to old people, then I have to assume movie will do well at least that Friday, which I am certain will have midnight screenings.

We'll see what happens.....

Besides, boys love cars and I ma sure the will have big interest about it.

I'm one who has said BB numbers for SR. Been saying that for a long time now.

BB slightly better domestic box than SR, SR better foreign box than BB. WW SR will beat BB by 10 or 20 million - coming in at just under 400 mil IMO.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Nope, you just don't listen me.

I have listened to you,for months now Ive listened patiently while others have gotten pissed at your refusal to see anything beyond "SR will make 300 Domestic and 650M+ WW"
You don't make your guesses based on what is here you look at other films not connected with this one and then decide SR will make the same amount

Do you know the whole Cars plot?

Besides, boys love cars and I ma sure the will have big interest about it.

It has a far narrower audience appeal than The Incredibles

Oh man, you just don't want understan 3 things.

1. BB was rated PG-13, but SR will have PG.

2. People have expected Superman to come back since 1986.

3. Kids love Superman.

boys ,mans love cars. but the cars in the Cars movie are not cool.

i will only see this movie because i know there will be some good joker.

But why I was right, when I was saying that WOTW will make only about $230m and GOF will make more than $280m?

And also when I was saying that Narnia will be able to make more than $270m?

 

[Hunter Rider]

I never saw you predicing HP and WOTW was out before you even signed here
plus it was easy to guess Potter as it is part of a big successful franchise so $250+ was a given

Like it is easy to guess that SR will make $300m too.

Why you don't want to imagine if POTC2 make ess than 1st movie and becomes next Back to the Future sequel.

It's not easy to guess that at all,last year i was right about BB and most others were wrong so by your theory my predictions should be correct

POTC2 is hot,it's got one of the biggest movie stars in the world in it,returning to a role of one of the most popular recent cinematic heroes and it is all part of a franchise that is fresh in ppl's minds,it's not hard to guess it will be successful but SR has a lot of things that are unclear about how it will connect with the modern audience

SR will connect with the modern audince like was Spidey.

You see, as we know teenager and kids love their favorite heroes and also vissual effects with not bad love storyline, so there is no doubts.

Of course there are doubts,is Superman to corny,will it be to slow,how will ppl react to Routh and also the fact it is followed by POTC2 a week after will hurt it

 

[Il_Siciliano]

I think Cinemaman is without contest the funniest poster here. Half the time I feel completely befuddled by the obscurity of his prophetic utterances.

 

[dark_b]

well spidey was having a supervillain. superman does not. i wouldnt be suprised if people would not like superman since it is like S:TM. he is saving people from disasters which lex made.

copy.............

 

[Cinemaman]

Oh god! After full trailer people will understand that it is great movies. That wasn't so with teaser, because it didn't show us a lot of shots.

And I don't think it will be hurted by POTC2.

When POTC2 arrives, it will alredy make huge opening.
