Man of Steel Box Office Prediction Thread - - - - - Part 14

[Tra-El]

It really only sort of stablized it's 3rd week. It's 4th week got the July 4 boost so that relatively average drop was not completely on it's own merits. After that the drops have been near 60%, which is terrible. I really thought it could reach 300, and it would have if it did stabilize to around 50% drops after the 4th week but it couldn't even do that.

That second week was a pretty phenomenal drop. In a nutshell, we were lucky to see any type of stabilization because the hits weren't going to let up with Despicable Me 2 set to bring the world by storm to compete with MU.

The real surprise was WWZ. Zombies/destruction cut into MOS's crowd so all in all, it came down to being a madhouse of competition and riding that roller-coaster, something IM3 didn't have to think to worry about (but that was always going to be #1.)

The 4th did get a boost, which proved WOM was better than what people thought but MOS quickly started its self-battle to reach the numbers we would settle for because this June BO was damn fierce. In the end, I'm happy with the numbers. It did what it pretty much what it was supposed to do, successfully. People just expected the cherry on top.

 

[GreenKToo]

yeah. it did fine. no way it was ever gonna do a billion. reboots dont do that.
it will end up 650/670, which is very good.
WF I predict, without knowing a single thing about it yet, will make a minium of 800 ww.

 

[Tra-El]

I know Japan's market probably has bootlegs by now. Any predictions on what that may bring in?

 

[\S/JcDc\S/]

Pretty cool, my guess months ago was 650 million and my hope was for 700 million. Pretty on the mark

more like a minium of a bil dont get me wrong batman should bring a solid billion alone and superman another 200-400 mil and if half of the batman fans decide to show up it still will crack a billion easily
I think WF will be dc/wb Avengers they will hit a home run with this release I cant wait for the footage they use to promote it
2015 will belong to WF mark my words
it will go beyond sw7 A2
those will be the top 3 of 2015

Yes, because you never overdo a prediction.

I predicted 650-700. Voted for 700, cause I didn't think it would be as low as 600.

 

[dalonewolf]

and before anybody doubt my prediction hear me out
1 the most important fact
its the return of batman
2 it has two 0f dc's most profitable characters in one movie a lot 9f fans wanted this before the release of a JL movie
3 it gets a sequel boost
4 those who stayed at home this time will not this time after seeing mos was a really good superman movie the best if u ask me or imo
5 night wing needs to be in this movie since we are skipping origins now lol not a true fact
but is im the only one who thinks night wing needs his own movie
ill say a 85 mil budget should be good

 

[dalonewolf]

Yes, because you never overdo a prediction.

I may have been wrong with mos but I seriously doubt Batman won't touch a billion
its the perfect sequel think about it
its like justice league but without all.the extra baggage
dont get me wrong I love the flash (barry allen) but im more interested in seeing just batman/superman/WF 1st and a justuce league 2nd

 

[sf2]

Did batman 1, 2, 3 & 4 and BB do billions?

 

[sf2]

Too late.. .I have already crossed 40... remember, I am a product of the 70s.. and that's why such a big Superman Fan...

I thought u were only a student!!! U know... studying brain science.

 

[dalonewolf]

Did batman 1, 2, 3 & 4 and BB do billions?

why did u stop at bb you forget batman was the 1st I repeat 1st superhero movie to do a billion and the title is called the dark knight and mite I add that batman did it without 3-d twice put the avengers bo and im3 bo together and it will come up to about 2.7 bil now take 3-d away form those movies and compare them to tk and tkr 2.1bil with out 3d mite I add

 

[dalonewolf]

batman has held up on his own for the last 7years im3 needed the avengers boost to get a bil and 3d
why would u think batman is not worth a billion
and can u add 3d conversion to the dark knight rises and see where batman really was suppose to be at

 

[Tra-El]

TDK was the absolute PERFECT storm. The whole Bat-RAGE begun with the introduction of the most popular villain EVER in Joker, Heath Ledgers eerie interpretation and then his death skyrocketed the film into superstardem, all along getting rave reviews of the critics. The movie being VERY good was the cherry on top.

The Avengers was the first teammup movie ever after Robert Downey JR resurrected his career as IM. This stuff is magic and rarely strikes twice with the same character (s.)

Though Batman brought the billion in with TDK-TDKR, that's not to say this new Bats, who will be under HEAVY scrutiny, will do the same.

trust me they won't just put anybody in that role
I VOTE. KARL URBAN
the role of batman is screaming that guys name

 

[dalonewolf]

trust me they won't just put anybody in that role
I VOTE. KARL URBAN

and the bat dont need to bring in the whole billion just 400-500 mill
supermans name should do the rest
after that the legs ww should be solid wb/dc will think the release date out this time instead of a week before the competition starts try and be the last just like tk and tkr late july release should do the trick for the film

 

[Tra-El]

trust me they won't just put anybody in that role
I VOTE. KARL URBAN
the role of batman is screaming that guys name

..and Henry Cavill was virtually the perfect casting for Superman in this modern age and people STILL clamored for Christopher Reeve.

Though Karl Urban may be good for the role if he lands it, to many people, he simply won't be Christian Bale and for that, there's no guaranteeing just the Batman name alone will single handily allow this to cross a billion. If anything, this is the perfect time both characters need each other to reach this milestone. The title will sell itself....

 

[Mysteryman]

trust me they won't just put anybody in that role
I VOTE. KARL URBAN

He is going to be in the next Star Trek film, it starts shooting next year, Urban is unavailable .

 

[dalonewolf]

..and Henry Cavill was virtually the perfect casting for Superman in this modern age and people STILL clamored for Christopher Reeve.
I agree I think cavil was perfect and did just as good as reeves for this generation
and bale was good as well but although I love bale for the part he wasn't flawless
I really think Urbannis that guy
and Wil be forever remembered if he lands the part or if wb/dc is interested in him
but someone on you tube did say he was one of the names mentioned don't know how true but hope it is

 

[Tra-El]

Whoever will don the cowl, I'm sure will be the right/perfect cast in the longrun. That's where Snyder NEVER disappoints.

It's just people, mainly critics and the GA, clamor for past success's and whoever is Batman, will barrel the burden of not being Christian Bale, just as Cavill was criticized by critics and Supes fans alike for not being Christopher Reeve. Those people will exist.

Personally, I'm jacked up for this movie but I don't think Batman's name alone can guarantee a billion dollars at the BO, not when people find out it won't be Bale. It's now a leveling playing field, which is why WB is confident enough to put this new Bats against Cavill's Supes.

 

[dalonewolf]

by the way im I the only person who realized Victor Stone was playing football on the tv before Zod took over clarks tv
I think zack is going to introduce more than batman in the next one it mite been one of those dk moments when u had no idea that villian or hero was in the movie
like chris meloni I realized he was actually playing the graudian but a different look of the character I think thats cool

 

[robot]

I thought u were only a student!!! U know... studying brain science.

LOL, I am a student for life...

I love science...

 

[spider-neil]

yeah. it did fine. no way it was ever gonna do a billion. reboots dont do that.

Batman might.

 

[robot]

it will end up 650/670, which is very good.
WF I predict, without knowing a single thing about it yet, will make a minium of 800 ww.

Never say never..

Titanic was technically a 'reboot'.. or 'redo'... and it made almost 2 B... (and people thought it was gonna sink)

and then Avatar was thought to fail too.. but ended up doing close to 3B...

Looks like Cameron don't believe in 'consensus' or 'current data'...

We need more ppl like James Cameron and Steve Jobs... people who defies conventions...

 

[spider-neil]

The reason I say the Batman reboot might make 1B is because there are two obstacles facing reboots

1) If the original was really popular than the reboot faces a uphill struggle to convince those fans to see a new version, imagine IM being rebooted without Downey or look at the stigma for Robocop

2) If the original or the last installment was really rubbish Judge Dredd, Batman an Robin, Spider-Man 3 then the general audience may not be willing to give the new movie a chance or may be reluctant until good WOM.

Batman side steps these two problems because it is going to be introduced in another movie so when the Batman movie actually hits they are over the reboot hump.
