Man of Steel Box Office Prediction Thread - Part 4

[kguillou]

Don't mean to get sidetracked here but is it just me or is this summer extremely overpacked with blockbusters? Star Trek, Fast 6, IM3, WWZ, White House Down, Pacific Rim, The wolverine, After Earth, Oblivion...i feel like this summer has an overabundance of these big budget popcorn films. I can't remember a summer this tightly packed in.

Btw, I'm not complaining, just an observation I made.

 

[Iceman]

I'm glad this is doing well. Probably the most important comic box office given its importance to future potential DC projects (including future MoSs obviously). $300m domestic would be an excellent result.

Oblivion came out in mid-April to avoid the summer rush, but it didn't do that well in the U.S. (internationally, it just about broke even). And After Earth is a straight-up flop.

box office update on comic book movie :

UPDATE:Thanks to The Hollywood Reporter, we now have some clarification. $151 million is actually Man of Steel's CURRENT worldwide cume and the movie should in fact pass $200 million by tomorrow.

N i think WWZ, White House Down, Pacific Rim, The wolverine won't do great too.

N i think WWZ, White House Down, Pacific Rim, The wolverine won't do great too.

Here is how I think the movies will do:


WWZ- Anywhere from good to okay (I'm very unsure about it)

White House Down - It will do okay

Pacific Rim - I think this will flop and become this years John Carter

Wolverine - This movie can range anywhere depending on how its promoted

 

[N7 Joseph Shepard]

damn, Deadline and Yahoo are reporting that the movie already has $156 million with $125 mil domestic.......add that to the $160 it's already made from promotions......Man Of Steel is already in the $316 million area with an expected $200 + million by the end of tomorrow, and lets not forget that it still hasn't opened everywhere yet.....they've already made their money back things can only go up from here....how much more is the question

 

[combocaz]

Im looking forward to Pacific Rim, it looks pretty badass.

Deadline has a new update:

SATURDAY, 5TH & 6TH UPDATE: My sources say today’s matinees are very strong and the same as opening day at $15.5M. Projections are still for Saturday’s grosses to be 20% down from Friday (because the $9M midnights was included in that result.

And that's not counting that $12 million it made from the Wal-Mart screenings.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

And yeah, I actually can't wait for Pacific Rim.

I went to a 4:00 show today, my theater was a madhouse.

I think WWZ will do decent. White House Down won;t be anything special. Pacific Rim...I have no idea, that will be another interesting movie to watch. And Wolverine....it'll do slightly better than it's predecessor.

And yeah, I actually can't wait for Pacific Rim.

Looking forward to more property damage articles.

My IMAX 2D showing was insane. At least 300 people.

Damn it, Marvin!

I thought X-Men origins:Wolverine was awful, and had decided not to see "The Wolverine" however the trailers actually look pretty good so I might change my mind. I hope it does well' if for no other reason than Hugh Jackman's dedication to get in perfect shape for the role rivals HC's.

pacific rim sleeper hit! oblivion was this years john carter

Saw Man of Steel today in 3D (though I don't like 3D, it's the only one available for that time that I wanted to watch it) and I gotta admit the critics are wrong about the rating, to be fair it is on par if not better than Iron Man 3, Henry Cavill is perfect for the role, his face registered on my after the movie ended. I hope it gets to my prediction of $300m domestic and hopefully a $400m-$500m overseas. Am planning to watch it again sometime next week

The Wolverine must suffer the sins of the Origin.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Origins can never be forgiven.

 

[Str8 Rippin]

Wait, so its already at $125M domestic? !

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Wait, so its already at $125M domestic? !

Not entirely. It's a lock at this point. BUT....it's $125 million domestically if you don't the Wal-Mart screening earnings into account. If you do, it's about $137 million.

Random question: Why are people adding the grosses from promotional tie-ins to the box office gross? Doesn't that just negate the marketing budget that has been spent on this film?

 

[Liam_H]

Its currently projected at around $112-115 for the weekend. $125 million is with the Wal-Mart number.

Random question: Why are people adding the grosses from promotional tie-ins to the box office gross? Doesn't that just negate the marketing budget that has been spent on this film?

No one is really doing that. And I believe the marketing tie-ins was an add on to its marketing budget. So it doesn't negate it.
