Man of Steel Box Office Prediction Thread - - Part 11

[Sabaoth]

Oh cool, I didn't know that.
However I'm far more interested in World Wide totals than anything.

Who would have thought star trek would dip domestically(and somewhat rise internationally) with it's sequel. That film had more momentum than I've recently seen coming off of a release.

I'm sure WB is more interested in the Domestic take than the WW totals.
Remember they only get a small portion of the OS.

In regards to Star Trek, they waited way too long to release a sequel. Interest will wane over time, that is why it is so important for WB to announce a date for MOS asap!
By 2015 , MOS would have already saturated the consciousness of the GA worldwide beyond the box office through dvd, blu ray HBO, FX etc. That momentum should make the sequel a more successful movie.
But if they wait until 2016, 2017 , MOS2 will likely have the same problem Star Trek had; the GA (not the hard core fans) had moved along to other things.

We have one IMAX 3D showing where i live too.

It is weird how quickly they pull movies these days. I remember back in 2004 when the first FF movie came out, it came out in July and it did not leave my theater until the first week of December. That was how a lot of movies did, but today, if they stay in the theater for over a month they are doing good. It has changed a lot.

 

[danoyse]

My theater already has it down to 4 showings per day, how about others? Have they drastically decreased the showings at your theater?

My theater still has it running all day on the IMAX, and there are two non-IMAX, non-3D showings available as well.

Pacific Rim takes over the IMAX on Thursday night, which will likely bump up the number of regular MOS showings.

I could hear it blasting out of the IMAX doors when I was taking my nephew to see Despicable Me 2 on Thursday.

Studios get roughly the same overseas as a whole. Maybe 5% less at most.

 

[Lily Adler]

Just wait until the next Batman reboot comes out.

Then we'll wait until the next Superman reboot.

Mine has 4 screens, 2 regular screen, one 3D, one IMAX, which I consider pretty impressive going into its 4th week.

I think this is it though. Next weekend it will be down to one with Pacific Rim.

I'm on vacation in West Palm Beach right now, and one of the theaters here has 1 IMAX 2D viewing a day now, but also still has 3 IMAX 3D showings per day. There are other theaters around but this particular one is the nice one and the one I go to whenever I travel down here.

I'll either see the IMAX 2D tomorrow, Monday, or Tuesday. That will be my 6th viewing. I plan to see it one more time after that to make it lucky #7, but I don't think I can go higher than that.

 

[sf2]

Was just checking movie times for PR next Thursday and noticed that MOS is still showing IMAX 3D here in Durham, NC. Must have been doing really well here.

:Up: good to hear. Welldone Durham NC

 

[Migu-EL]

Over here in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area, the biggest theater has 7 showings of MOS this weekend and the rest are at least at 4 showings.

 

[Showtime]

Saw it for the second time. My mom is actually a big fan of the character, and we saw Superman Returns together. She enjoyed it and gave it a 7 out of 10, didn't get worse or better for me, still 7 out of 10. Around the Boston area most of the theaters are playing it 2D only except for IMAX locals. It was in the small capacity screening room and there were 27 people in there.

 

[Stephen K. Hone]

Wonder if we'll get an estimate of today's BO late tonight? Hopefully it is a high $4 million or even $5 million.

 

[Kelly]

Yeah, I think with Lone Ranger and White House Down now out, the drop off of showings will go down quite a bit in most theaters. Most of what is going now are probably those that have already seen it more than once.

I will now wait for the DVD... : )

Any studios that forsake the OS market is going to go out of business... they make on average 35% in the OS market and movies that do 70-80% of their box office OS will mean Studios make a lot more money OS compared to Local...

So who here thinks it can get to $300 mill Domestic? I'm on the fence, especially with it loosing so many screens in such a short period of time. After this weekend MOS will roughly have 8 more weeks to make the $30 million needed to hit the magic $300, but with so little screens is that number even possible at this point in time? There are just sooo many movies coming out! Fingers crossed for me

Ya... kinda very difficult. The show times also reduced greatly.

Anyway catch it while it's still available.

I think ASM had a much harder sell than MoS.

Amazing Spider-Man
* Had to convince the general audience to watch the origin again with the origin still fresh in the memory.
* Raimi's Spider-Man was beloved and many people thought this reboot was way too soon.
* Many people were turned off Spider-Man by the disastrous SM3, sure SM3 made a ton of money but once bitten and all that.
* ASM was smack bang in the middle of the Avengers (a movie with 5 movie build up) and TDKR (end of the Nolan trilogy) ASM could have got lost in the hype of those two movies.

Man of Steel
* Coming off the back of the bore fest that was Superman returns.
* Retelling of the origin again.

 

[MANOFSTEELtrilogy]

More money has been made in June this year, than any June in American history. Therefore even more highly impressive that MOS is the most lucrative reboot in history. Man Of Steel has performed miracles, and Cavill should be knighted.

 

[Jaxon]

The great thing about the movie is that it keeps getting better on repeat viewings, the story comes to the fore and the action takes a back seat

 

[Tra-El]

Saturday numbers $4.2 million; bringing us to $271 domestic

7. Man Of Steel (Legendary/Warner Bros) Week [Runs 2,965]
Wednesday $2.3M, Thursday $3.0M, Friday $3.9M, Saturday $4.2M
3-Day Weekend $11.3M, Domestic Cume $271.0M

hope everyone will feel the same.

btw, i think MOS's legs are normal. WWZ and HEAT have stronger legs as compare. or is it because of the reduce of screens and no. of show times.

In China the studios get a "small" cut of the box office gross. Only 15-20 percent.

In the rest of the world it's at least 40%.

That's not small. It pretty much double the box office profits every studio earns from a movie.

Most movies with sequels wouldn't get one without overseas box office revenue.

Exactly plus MOS re-told the origin again after waiting 35 years.

ASM waited only 10 years. Everyone over 14 years old remembered watching the origin in theaters a decade ago. Superman the Move told the origin way back in the 1970's.

MOS will make it probably by late August.

But WB is probably willing to keep it in theaters far beyond that to hit the 300 m mark.
