Yes.

 

[Superhero 101]

Good I am hoping it can match TASM numbers or get close

 

[Knightstalker]

Well if it means anything, Brazil pulled in $503,086 in preview screenings

That would be in Australian dollars. Mind you, the article is a week old, so the film probably has taken that much by now seeing the WW totals for this week haven't been updated yet.

No. The people who predicted 1bil are being asinine and forget that reboots traditionally have never made a billion (maybe this changes in the future, who knows?). Why would you assume people think of Superman Returns as a precursor to Man of Steel when you clearly see 2 different actors portraying Superman, and two different suits? I don't think people are that dumb to assume so. Furthermore, that's why your example doesn't really work, considering BB was a prequel to TDK, whereas SR isn't a prequel to MoS. So that argument can't be made effectively.

And secondly, Batman Begins didn't really do much to convince people to watch the sequel considering the difference in worldwide money (370mil vs. 1bil), despite the positive reviews (and even then I wouldn't compare it to MOS, considering 2005 dollars is probably a hell of a lot different than 2013 dollars). TDK was successful due to the fact that it transcended comic book genre conventions and became a crime drama that happened to involve Batman. And of course, Ledger's performance revolutionized how we saw the Joker on-screen. TDK caught lightning in a bottle so to speak.

In the same way that people who predicted 500M are asinine?

It looks like MOS is beating all the so called 'realistic predictions' as well...

Could prediction-trolls please get off your high horses???

I am brazilian, and the protests are not having any effects on BO. Hell, they didn't even have effects on confederations cup attendance.

Good to know

500M - 600M and up to around 700M if WOM is good.

You obviously stated many times the movie suck and WOM sucks... so, don't try to keep revising up... Be a man, stand your ground..

And your number is 500M...

Yeah I remember him predicting $500-600m ww. He was consistently lowballing things. I've been on the complete opposite end of the spectrum and have consistently said $800+m ww (I'm sticking to it btw). I may end up revising down in 2-3 more weeks. Really depends on how the next two weeks go.

Man Of Steel is on fire.

Didnt Tobias say the most the movie would make would be about $275?
It looks like MOS will exceed that amount quite easily

Here are two of Tobias predictions for his beloved Superman and MOS

I think Superman is not too viable anymore and that what SR made is about as good as any Superman film can do. He's one of the most well-known characters but not one of the most popular. You can lead a horse to water but you can't force the horse to drink.

Nolan's name attached should be worth something. Just pulling out a figure - say 20 million.

Based on SR then, I'd expect to see MOS do about 411 million WW.

In any event, WB had already decided to shelve Superman films because they are not financially feasible. No one seems to be expecting much from MOS. Maybe 400 million? When it costs 200 million to make and maybe 100 million to market that is a bad investment.

Has anyone noticed if Tobias is posting on other Superman sites or forums?

His style is very obvious and he must be doing it somewhere as he cant seem to help himself

Tobias is the best deadpan comedian in the world today. I applaud his contributions.

Yeah,he is nearly at legendary status haha

If he comes back here again and maintains his previous form then he should get the villain or comedian of the year trophyt:

I really want to post his previous comments again just to see the reactions from members who haven't read his hater ways

Maybe you are Tobias?

I couldn't tell a joke to save my life unfortunately. I wish.

Yours is 1B. If it goes over 750M I guess you're closer, right?

How is 500-600M a lowball prediction?

Beautiful.

 

[STARMAN]

The estimate now is 3.92 mill for Friday. 263.71 domestic.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

They're going to have to keep this in theaters for a while to hit 300 m.

30 m is long way to go after you make only 10 m on a holiday weekend.

An increase is always good. Consider so many theaters, screens n show times being slashed down.
How about the rest? Manage to overtake any?
