Man of Steel Box Office Prediction Thread - Part 4

[Tobias]

They have already green lit a sequel. It was mentioned a few days ago. They have also announced that MoS 2 will introduce either wonder woman or the new Batman. MOS 2 looks to be before JLA in that case. But check the internet because they green lit and fast tracked it. Snyder and Goyer are returning but they arent sure how much Nolan will be involved

I've been off the net re: MOS cause I didn't want to read about the BO.
GL2 was green lit too. And SR2 (in 11/06 after it hit 200 million). Just saying.

WB will evaluate the legs and the OS performance before making a final decision IMO. I would not rule out JL next.

Come August we will know for sure is my guess.

Foreign Box Office: 'Man of Steel' Big in U.K., Pushing Early Overseas Total to $25.9 Mil

The decision to cast British actor Henry Cavill as Superman is paying off in his home country, where the tentpole scores the best opening-day gross of 2013 so far.

Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan's Man of Steel grossed $17.6 million at the foreign box office on Friday, scoring some of the best numbers ever for a superhero film in the U.K. and pushing the tentpole's three-day total to $25.9 million.

That puts Man of Steel's worldwide cume at $82 million through Friday when accounting for the $56.1 million earned so far in North America, where it is headed for a weekend debut in the $125 million range. The tentpole's performance is a victory for Warner Bros. and Legendary as they look to resurrect the marquee franchise.

I had a feeling that Henry being from the UK would help it in that market.

That's incredible, seems that the OS gross should be very high.

I assume Russel is like the biggest star in what ever country he's from too. Studios needs to start casting less people from the US alone. It helps.

Wow its breaking a lot of WB records that's for sure and its opening better in a lot of places better than Iron Man 3. People were worried about OS marketing but I see its doing just fine

Would like to see Malaysia numbers. Robot was so down on the lack of marketing there.

I think this is good news as OS legs for action films tend to be stronger than in the US. I think MOS will not have all that great legs here but the OS market will make up the difference I hope. As I've said repeatedly.

No, who cares about RT. I mean the haters that have hoped this movie to fail in this message board and in others.

Warner Bros’ and Legendary Pictures’ Man Of Steel (4,207 theaters with 3D in 3,357 venues) grossed $44M in North America on Friday (including the $9M from midnights). “A fantastic start to Father’s Day weekend,” gushed Warner Bros Pictures President, Domestic Distribution, Dan Fellman. It’s now the largest Friday June opening ever. ”Our CinemaScore of ‘A-’ with the youngest (under 18) and the oldest (over 50) age categories both rating the film an ‘A’ should certainly generate strong word of mouth as we continue our run in the heart of the lucrative summer play time.” The 3Dscreens generated 42% of Man Of Steel‘s box office revenue and 32% of all admissions for 6.250M for Friday. The 331 IMAX theatres grossed $5.5M on Friday averaging $16,616 per location and ranking #5 of all time behind The Avengers‘ $5.9M. The Man Of Steel results helped total moviegoing this Friday increase +78% over last year’s box office. Unofficially, projections for the Superman reboot’s 3-day weekend are $105M-$115M with a 4-day cume of $115M-$125M including Thursday’s $12M worth of Wal-Mart sold tickets for the 7 PM show.

Internationally, Warner Bros says Man Of Steel is ranking #1 everywhere with a gross of $17.6M from 9,710 screens in the 24 overseas markets in release. The running cume from abroad is now $25.9M. Key markets that opened this weekend were the UK, Korea, and Mexico. The UK pulled in £3.3M ($5.2M) from 574 situations, dominating the market with a 70% share and ranking as the biggest opening day in 2013 – +11% bigger even than Iron Man 3. Mexico grossed an estimated Ps. 35.7M ($2.8M) from 2,600 screens, and, like the UK, garnered a 70% share of the market. Its Friday opening ranks as the 3rd biggest opening for a WB film. Korea continues to rank #1 with a 50% share of the Top 5 films nationwide and KRW 1.8M ($1.6M) from 990 screens, bringing the two-day tally to KRW 3.2M ($2.8M). Other notable cumes are The Philippines $2.9M (had biggest all-time industry opening day), Taiwan $1.5M (had biggest WB opening day ever), UAE $1.3M, Malaysia $1.3M

Notably, the 3D movie -- starring British actor Henry Cavill -- grossed $5.2 million in the U.K., pacing ahead of blockbuster Iron Man 3 to score the best opening day of 2013 so far. Man of Steel captured 70 percent of the market and performed on par with last year's superhero extravaganza The Avengers.

In terms of other superhero pics, Man of Steel came in 88 percent ahead of The Amazing Spider-Man, 11 percent ahead of Iron Man 3 and 17 percent ahead of The Dark Knight.

Mexico and South Korea are the two other major markets where Man of Steel is debuting this weekend. It grossed $2.8 million in Mexico to score the biggest opening day for a WB film behind The Dark Knight Rises and the final Harry Potter pic.

Man of Steel has taken in $2.8 million in its first two days of play in South Korea, and continues to do stellar business in the Philippines, Taiwan and Malaysia, all emerging markets.

Elsewhere, it opened to $626,000 in the United Arab Emirates, the top opening ever for a WB film.

No, who cares about RT. I mean the haters that have hoped this movie to fail in this message board and in others.

Probably they'll come in here like this and yell at us who loved it like they always do lol.

This was the movie that officially tarnished critics in my review of them. They've missed the boat so many times now, that it's really telling now.

Some of the ones I've seen are as heated as Gordon above lol.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

LOL I can imagine the mood of the haters in this moment.

Not big on my caring list. Just MoS doing well so it gets the sequel it deserves imo.

The non-RT "legit" critics were generally positive but not enthusiastic about MOS. Including a few critics I respect and still do.

I was a bit disappointed - based on the trailers I guess.

RT is another story. Id give MOS an 8.0. I gave SR a 7.3. Yet SR got a 7.5 on RT and MOS a 5.8.

Yes a part of that is hate and as I think about it anti-Snyder sentiment there. How else to explain it. Singer at the time was highly favored on RT and I think that lifted SR's rating.

 

[FlawlessVictory]

That GIF is glorious t:

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Great news about the UK...

 

[Ms. Marvel]

I only care about the BO because I want WB to make another 2 MOS movies. Marvel fans and superman haters are pissed this movie is making bank and is a huge hit with most critics and fans love it. WOM is huge and even with all the haters its still making people happy

Please do not generalise, I want this movie to do well.

 

[Jim-El]

I didn't like the movie overall, but still hope it will break records. I think.

I lost in faith in them a long time ago(Not Drew Mcweeny though).

One thing that might have lead to present situation is the sheer amount of critics that gave the film a barely positive to mostly positive score(5 and up) yet still ended giving in a rotten title, hey the nolan film wasn't perfect. Because of the way that system is set up, you end up with a film with so many damn rotten submissions that the percentage isn't representative of what the natural score should be.

RT Score 57%, Average score 6.5 last time I checked. Kinda dumb.

I can't shake the feeling that other films with lower expectations such as various CBM's would have prevailed in this situation.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Outstanding start for MOS overseas too. This film might just make 400+ million OS after all.

It has a similar average score to IM2......

 

[FlawlessVictory]

It has a similar average score to IM2......

Transformers is at 57% with a 5.8 avg rating and MOS is at 57% with a 6.3 avg rating. That average rating you think would make it fresh for MOS.

Man of Steel: Rotten Tomatoes Editor Shocked At Low Critic Rating

By: Russ Burlingame on June 14, 2013

We’ve talked a lot the last few days about the disparity between Man of Steel‘s incredible word-of-mouth, its strong audience appeal and the fairly mediocre rating it scores among critics on the popular review-aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes.

Apparently nobody was caught more off-guard by that last part than Rotten Tomatoes Senior Editor Gray Drake, who appeared on Fox Business News and called the Superman reboot “definitely the film to see, because finally Superman is back and he’s going to do big business.”

Asked why the freshness scale score was so low for that film, Drake admitted, “As much as I love and respect our critics at Rotten Tomatoes, I’ve got to say I am shocked. Listen, the movie’s not perfect but…I just cannot fathom it. It was a good movie, you guys.”
