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

[InJustice]

Thor 2 is probably going to get the Avengers Boost (I estimate around 800mil at the worst), if it reaches Thor's numbers in its entire run, then maybe we can put the Avengers Boost theory to rest (unlikely, but weirder things have happened).

Wow, if Batman 2015 is legit, WB might be walking on a field of mines. They'd have to live up to Nolan's legacy (and Ledger's...if they're going to reintroduce the Joker) AND somehow find a way to differ from Nolan's contributions. I'd hate to be the writer and director of that new Batman film

Exactly. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes.

I think making another Batman movie is daunting given the bar that trilogy set.

That said, I think it would be interesting to see that movie given that Nolan did not really introduce any other DC character outside of the bad guys and 'Robin'.

I believe the reason why Batman is being released soon is to coincide with a Snyder's MOS and set-up for a JL movie.

Well, so far it's only a rumour, I guess.

 

[Liam_H]

Top 10 at least?

Lol, yes there is no worries there. The most ever $300M domestic in a single year was last year at 5. MoS will most likely stay at 5 or 6.

 

[Stephen K. Hone]

Well, so far it's only a rumour, I guess.

Hmmm? Not sure I'm buying this rumor. MOS 2 for July 17th or 24th 2015 makes sense and is doable. JL for July 2016 seems more plausible, especially if MOS 2 ends with a cliffhanger that could potentially lead into/set up the JL movie.

we will find out sat at comic con I still don't trust wb this rumor of a solo batman for 2015 comes from a good source.i think mos2 is gonna get shafted and this will blow up in their faces.if it were me I would do worlds finest 2015 not just a solo batman so soon after nolans trilogy

 

[spider-neil]

You were hearing the same thing last year, that ASM isn't a success with 750m and MoS this year with 650m (a lock).
Bottom line is, some people think if you don't make a billion for your movie then you've failed. How many billion dollar movies are there in the history of cinema?

The new Batman movie is guaranteed to make a fortune. The quality of the movie is 'almost' irrelevant.

Also, I'm going to put it out there, TDKR (flawed as heck) BB (seriously overrated) TDK (imho the best superhero movie ever made).
With that said, if the reboot captures the essence of Batman better than Nolan i.e. genius, one of the greatest martial artist in history, the greatest detective on the planet then I'm going to rank it a better BATMAN MOVIE then Nolan effects. Notice I said 'BATMAN MOVIE' not 'MOVIE'. I seriously doubt anyone will ever make a better superhero movie than TDK, that movie is a masterpiece.

 

[Bruce Malone]

I don't believe the batman reboot in 2015 rumor. If that's true WB really has abandoned any plans for other DC characters or a JL film.

A well made Batman movie can earn about 1 bil. but not 1.5 bil (Avengers) or near 2 bil (Avengers 2.)


It is possible only if they make a good Justice League movie, for that establishing Batman is necessary which is what I think WB wants to do.

I think at this moment in time even a poor Batman movie earns a minimum of 900m pretty much like SM3.

Well, let's remake Batman & Robin and test out that theory then.lol

I'd still be there opening weekend

 

[spider-neil]

Would rather see JL before MoS 2. Also a JL movie (if done well) would give the next Superman movie a boost like IM 3 after Avengers.

I got goose bumps when Tony was facing off against Cap 'take that off and what are you?' imagine that then times it by a million when Batman final faces off with Superman.

Superman - 'I had no choice, innocent...'
Batman -'In my eyes you're nothing but a murderer'

 

[Bren]

I'd like the response to be short, sweet and end in 'off'.

Here something to get you pump for tomorrow's possible announcement of MOS 2.

16. From those 16, 5 were released in the past year or so (2012/2013).
And we've been there but ASM's, bo issue was and remains its weak domestic run (especially compared to the 3 previous films). MoS in the other hand will break the 300M milestone and is already the highest grossing Superman movie to date by a huge margin. Totally different dynamics.

 

[STARMAN]

According to the box office forum, MOS Friday estimate is around 505,000.

Not looking likely at this point...

ASM is criticized because the Ramimi trilogy was so wildly successful.

A Batman reboot that grosses under a billion will face the same fate.

 

[Gur-Ak]

Latest box office:

Budget: $225,000,000

Domestic: $283,686,000 as of Jul. 19, 2013 (45.6%)
+ Foreign: $338,200,000 as of Jul. 14, 2013 (54.4%)

= Worldwide: $621,886,000

In Release: 36 days / 5.1 weeks

So;

Friday: $505,000 (Rank 14)

Granted, but I would be extremely surprised to see the movie not breaking 300M at this point, or dare I say Warner not doing everything they can to have it gross past 300M.

(Anyways after crunching numbers and not just relying on blinded fanboys predictions, that seems kinda difficult indeed.)

But my point remains, MoS grossed past TASM domestically, and is by far the highest grossing Superman movie to date both domestically and worldwide. It puts the franchise in a different dynamic while TASM was a big step back from the Raimi trilogy (bo wise).

The thing you can ask is if TASM2 will change that or if it will push the decaying of the franchise even further. On the other hand, MoS' current grosses shows nothing but excellent prospects for future growth.

 

[STARMAN]

It may be the highest grossing Superman movie but it's sold 20 million less tickets than the original Superman movie. It did recently pass X-men 2 in tickets sold.

I think TASM didn't gross as much as it could have because audiences would agree with me that while it was a good film, it was also more of the same, half the film was a rearranged, rehash of the origin story.
Interestingly I feel the whole Clark having sporadic flashbacks and giving the audience only the biggest parts of his past would have worked better for TASM. They didn't need to play the whole origin part again, just show the audience's the biggest parts of his early life and focus on his first year as Spidey.
But anyway I actually think TASM2 is going to gross more, the filmmakers have free range now and they have a fantastic actor playing a visually stimulating villain.
I feel like if MOS gets a trilogy it will play out like Iron Man. The sequel will gross only a 100 million more than the first film give or take, and then after JLA, mos3 will have the JLA-push and earn a billion ww, just like IM3 had the avengers push.
