Man of Steel Box Office Prediction Thread - Part 8

[DarthSkywalker]

I can see that but I took it the other way because Disney did a similar thing with Iron Man 3. Wish I could get clarification though

Me too. If your interpretation was right, it would be truly shocking to me.

Go look at quarterly numbers for say Walmart compared with the sales? It is a fraction of the overall total even though it is a huge number it is nothing compared to the over all number. The example of spending 1.5 to make 2 most large companies would do that because at that large amount the money is essentially a commodity like a banking institution.

 

[Poni_Boy]

Did you read what I just wrote? WB is major multi billion dollar company the bottom lines are no where near the numbers you guys are talking for profitability at all. It most common around 10% or slightly less just fact so the numbers and profits are way off and talked with not a true broad stroke.

What the hell are you talking about? Because WB is a big company they don't care about losing money on a movie?

C'mon dude

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Actually 60% drops week by week will put it at a $270-275M domestic finish.

Holy mathematics Batman!

 

[Poni_Boy]

I wouldn't be shocked. That's just the way of things. Word was disney did something similar with Oz and Iron Man 3. It's a way to better guarantee a big opening. I don't doubt at all that WB would up that for this movie

And that would be right on track with my prediction so, yay

C'mon dude

Are we back to losing money again?

 

[Hammer!]

I'll be interested to see if Thor 2 can pull in better BO numbers.

 

[Liam_H]

Holy mathematics Batman!

I know isn't math fun.

C'mon dude

Are you serious? I never said lose money but it is obvious you no little about business and a true bottom line for large companies. Do a little homework and then talk a little more there is no major company banking a 50 margin! That is a fact and the way this board talks about profitability is a joke in my opinion.

 

[Poni_Boy]

Are we back to losing money again?

I dunno. He's saying something about big companies have bottom lines so Walmart can sell cheap soda and WB doesn't care what MOS makes. No idea what he's trying to prove.

Can 'Man Of Steel 2' Survive The 'Tomb Raider' Trap?

The question becomes, will the casual fans and/or general audiences who didn’t like Man of Steel show up again in two years, or is Warner Bros. looking at a Cradle Of Life scenario? History shows that the second Man of Steel, even if it’s a superior picture, runs a real risk of falling into what I have long called ‘The Tomb Raider Trap’.

Interesting viewpoint here of how if this film really is front-loaded how that could prove shaky for the sequel? Almost the opposite of the begins/tdk relationship.

That thing is where I live, I see the effects of that. I live in a relatively small area, so when 3D screens are prominent it effects my local theaters. I didn't see any of that with MoS.

 

[Man_of_Tomorrow]

I love the comparisons to GL when MOS has already made as much domestically than GL did worlwide its entire run.

 

[Hammer!]

ASM 2 might be a good barometer for a potential MOS 2. First films shared many parallels critically, financially, creatively, etc.

Haters gonna hate.

Nah, just joking. It is an interesting view point, and a valid one imo. But so many factors would come into play, that it is going to be very difficult to predict this far out.

You are the one claiming like you know it all and put words in my mouth saying I said WB wants to lose money? C'mon man get serious

 

[Herolee10]

I feel like Poni Boy's one true mission here is to make everyone believe that MOS is a complete and utter failure.lol

I'm sure you do. It's the smaller cities that really see it most. But it's also depending on what sells more. One of my buds in Ohio said hardly anyone he's seen goes to 3D shows so there are hardly any there. But my other guy from Orlando said it's 3D everything. Here in NY some theaters hide the 2D showings on opening weekend

I feel like Poni Boy's one true mission here is to make everyone believe that MOS is a complete and utter failure.lol

Why? I think 600 mil ww is a success. And I've been saying so since before I even saw the movie. and I haven't seen anyone here lately call the movie a failure.

 

[Hammer!]

I find Poni Boy's mission to be one of providing realistic outlooks and scenarios. The only people I see that have had a problem with him are the people that thought MOS was going to rake in $700 million WW. And that wasn't going to happen. He's certainly been the most competent poster on this thread for some time.

 

[Majestic]

Maybe I must too much a fan of superman and look forward to the next movie! Heck I have only posted a little since 2003! But even though I dislike this thread I always follow the hype because there is good info that comes from here

Considering on how he keeps bashing the film for some points that are rather ridiculous from what I've read, I find that hard to believe at times and honestly, I still think the film has a chance at making 700 million at the end of its run.

 

[KingKane88]

It still has to get to $300m.

Not sure this will happen, IMO it has maybe a 20-25% chance of getting there. I'm thinking it ends in the low 280's, 290 best case scenario. Does anyone here remember where ASM was after 12 days domestic? This may give an idea of were MOS may land possibly.
