Man of Steel Box Office Prediction Thread - - - - Part 13

[dalonewolf]

I love the newbie trolls who come in here with Marvel usernames and downplay the success of MOS!! It will reach 400+m OS

thats why I say thier predictions are bias dont get me wrong the movie mite not do what I want it to do as far as prediction but to set such a low foreign prediction is just lowballing
if anyone believes this movie will do less than 400mil foreign is just a marvel fan and has no business being on this thread cuz they always seems to give DC movied low predictions I remember when a lot of them eas saying tdkr will only do 700 mil at best and that was with I 160 mil ow if mos didnt do over 100mil in its ow then yea 650-700mil will be the roof but any movie that opens over 100 mil these now and days end somewhere in the 800mil range

You do realize I have been on his board for quite a while and I am a supporter of this film right? I spend too much time on these boards "defending" MoS.

How in the world is my post bias against it?

 

[STARMAN]

You're not bias.

Somehow, if anyone says they don't think MOS will make 800 mill they're a hater. It's ridiculous.

 

[Sabaoth]

Well I guess 300 is now a pipe dream and it will finish at 292-295 with the slow crawl.

 

[dalonewolf]

Wow didn't know inception made 800 WW. No 3d and and it's not even a sequel , reboot or a remake.

a lot of movies made more than what people know of inception only opened with a 62mil ow who would had thought that movie will make 292 dom and 532
foreign
inception did a slow crawl its entire run and still got over 700 mil so like I said before I dont compare movies by reboots and sequels I compare them by market
and the avengers tdkr and im3 ,dk showed that people are more interested in superhero movies than they ever did

So how exactly do you slow crawl another $150m. Please explain. Using Inception was horrible for your argument, because Inception's drop offs were far healthier. People kept watching it and there wasn't much competition to stop that.

Careful now. Do not post such things lest you get labeled a marvel troll.

I told everyone that WB will release mos that would make up for all the competition that its gone up against I believe with a second release in theaters mos will get another 150 foreign don't know if the dom will go any higher but the foreign should be good

 

[JOE]

Marvel troll, that's funny. Marvel fans don't have much to troll about. Their only two decent movies in the last 5 years have been Iron Man, The Avengers and The Amazing Spider-Man. IM2 and Thor were garbage, Cap and IM3 were mediocre at best.

And when will this re-release happen? Have you ever checked on the numbers of other same year re-releases in the past?

Gonna have to disagree there. TDKT and MoS are my favorites, but Cap, Thor, Iron Man, the Avengers, and First Class all work for me. I love Cap more and more every time I watch it.

Also by using your count, it would be 3 to DC (TDK, TDKR and MoS) to two for Marvel. All this with Green Lantern happening. Not the greatest example in the world.

Green Lantern happened. If only it didn't fail miserably in the BO they could have had 2 DC characters in line for their JL attempt.

I personally think they won't do it. If so, they're late to the game. It'll be rushed. Plus I don't think this MOS can live in a world with the rest.

 

[dalonewolf]

and like I said before I go by market I see that a movies box office isnt determined by its domestic total but its foreign total is what gets it to the record books 5 years ago movies making 600-700 foreign was un heard of now its becoming a new standard
what u have to understand is people are not losinh interest in mos its just the lost of screens dom and foreign
with a re-release mos will get its screens back alone with its 3-d screens as well after the wolverine thier will not be any anticipated movies for a while
perfect time to re-release
I believe this was WB plan all along get what they can out of the sumner and then re-release after all the summer movies gets out of the way
and by my opinion mos so far is the summer hit with the highest summer gross
ironman 3 came out may3 so its not a summer movie

Green Lantern happened and it was Zod awful on a new level. So lets not throw stones here.

u really think WB wont re-release mos .why not?

You are literally making up bizarre, unheard of scenarios to prop up your argument. It is getting pretty ridiculous at this point. But I am curious, what indication do you have that this was WB's plan all along?

And you do realize Despicable Me 2 has a very good chance of catching and passing MoS in box office right? So even if you want to discount May...

 

[DarthSkywalker]

They won't release it on a mass scale. There is no point. Would probably cost them more money then they'd make. It would be completely nonsensical.

I agree and I love your sig btw.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I agree and I love your sig btw.

If that happens, then I was right. Silver linings and all.

 

[STARMAN]

MOS is successful. There may be a little disappointment in the final number because of the huge OW. After the opening weekend, it should have been on pace for 325.

to much competition 10 new movies has came out since mos release so 325 wioo be hard dom but 303 300 still seems doable

 

[Stephen K. Hone]

I'm guessing $475-480,000 for Thursday. We should have figures soon.

 

[STARMAN]

We all know about the competition. But the huge OW raised the bar. Figured 320-325 was in the bag. I'm still happy with the box office.

The second weekend needed to hold up for that to happen.

 

[STARMAN]

Yeah. The second week did it's damage. 300 would be a breeze right now. I'm greedy so I want as much money as possible.
