Man of Steel Box Office Prediction Thread - - - Part 12

[ElDuderino]

There's zero chance at $800 million.

 

[dalonewolf]

I think it'll slightly miss TASM's final WW gross.

I swear u should be a comediant:

I know right? Being realistic totally makes me absolutely hilarious. t:

what is this comedy Friday

 

[kalhawj]

When it's all done it'll finish at 750-785 WW. It will hold the All-Time WW BO for a reboot.

 

[ConanLives]

I just dont see how this movie only makes another 100-150 os even with a slow crawl it shoukd past that point within the next 3-4 weeks

If you're right...t:t:t:...all the way to MOS 2. I'll be very happy either way.

 

[Liam_H]

Thursday number is at $1.01M

That is quite an ugly drop. Pacific Rim hurt it quite a bit by taking away its IMAX screens. Hopefully it can recover this weekend.

This is dependant on a big Japan and Brazil return which isn't guaranteed.

 

[InJustice]

I'm not sure Japan is going to open big. There are now decent quality of pirated MOS movies.

I wonder who's the idiot that thought Japan getting August 30th would help.

not bad considering all that competition good job to me

 

[Liam_H]

Took a slight hit in reaching $300M domestic. It needs to hold about 57% of its weekly audience now from here on.

It took TA a few weeks longer relative to its domestic release than MOS to open in the Japan. TA did great, and I'm sure they also had good quality bootlegs available for that movie. Certainly some will choose to watch a bootleg rather than go to see it in all of its glory up on the big screen, but i don't think it will significantly impact the overall BO.

 

[Gur-Ak]

Here's the updated box office:

Budget: $225,000,000

Domestic: $276,169,878 as of Jul. 11 2013 (46.7%)
+ Foreign: $315,600,000 as of Jul. 7 2013 (53.3%)

= Worldwide: $591,769,878

In Release: 28 days / 4 weeks

So;

Thursday: $1,011,103

I believe TA was released around the time of the Obon Festival there which could've helped its numbers. MoS won't really have that.

At this rate you should be happy with 700 m WW.

It's going to hit $300 million. It made about $90,000 less than you and I thought it would. If it can do $5-6 million this weekend and then around $7 million from the 15th to the 22nd then it needs to make $11-12 million for the rest of its run. Totally plausible IMO.

Not stating if it will or not, just saying it went from 55-56% to 57-58%.

You can acknowledge competition? That is amazing. The way you make it sound at times, you'd think MoS was the only movie out there. t:

 

[Stephen K. Hone]

Not stating if it will or not, just saying it went from 55-56% to 57-58%.

So what? If it makes $300 million which IMO it will, a % here or there real doesn't amount to much in the big scheme of things. It means instead of topping out at say $307 million it might only do $305-306 million. The hope for most of us is for anything north of $300 million. If its $301 or 310 million that's just more gravy.

 

[Liam_H]

So what are you arguing with me about? I just stated a fact that's all.

 

[Mysteryman]

And there is more competition next weekend, followed by Wolverine the next week.
Now that MOS has no more double digit weekends ahead of it ,
Actual profit will come a little slower than before .

 

[ConanLives]

It's time...time for MOS to get down and do the slow shuffle to 300.

 

[ConanLives]

Going off topic, is Pacific Rim any good?

It is fantastic. Saw it and MoS together yesterday. Best day at the movies in a long time.

Awesome. The ultimate love letter to all things Kaiju.
