If SR's budget was $150 million then 86 mil for an opening weekend would be decent, since they're already more than halfway to grossing the film's budget. But they're no-where near making back all the money they spent on it, and with Pirates 2 coming out next week it's going to be even harder. Heads will roll over this film if the studio takes a hit for it.
i know what's what i'm saying. plus you gotta figure they spen atlest a 100 million on marketing this movie. thats about 360 more what ever else they spent.

Me and all my posse loved X-Men 3, but the reaction to SR was much less enthusiastic.
let's just say when i saw X3 people where most excited at the trailers for Ghost Rider and Snakes on a plane teaser. which got the biggest ovation out of all the trailers.
 
if pirates has mediocre boxoffice like SR's opening...it will prove that it has nothing to do with how good or bad...but rather, how americans are feeling the impact of the poor state of our economy...ticket prices, gas etc....then if POTC2 blows SR out of the water...well, okay SR will be a terrible movie in the eyes of the public

I'd just say it isn't bad.

You need to really not say a whole lot. Your predictions have been so far off-base, that you should really not say anything about what you predict a film will do at the box office. You were wrong on DVC, and you're wrong on Superman. The best thing you can do is to quietly post, and just not make predictions as if you proclaim them to be fact.

To preserve your own integrity, you might want to say your predictions are your own opinion, because you just make yourself look very poor when you say a film will do such and such, and it doesn't. Have some dignity, and decorum and just don't make any proclamations as if they are fact, because so far you've been way off-base with both DVC and SR.

Just my opinion.

yes he was way off base on the SR opening. he also said X3 would make between 75 to 80 million. and it made way more than that in 3 days compared to supes's 5 day total. so there lucky it was a 5 day total or Supe's would have made 40 to 50 mill the first 3 days.

ticket prices and gas has nothing to do with it. if x men 3 can make all that money in one weekend. SR just sucked.

yes X3 made 120 mill in 3 days compared to supe's 86 million in 5 days.

with that i wonder how much X3 could have made in 5 days if it was released on a wednesday like "the man of steel"

Yup. If the economy was keeping people from watching movies, X3 would not have had a record-breaking opening, and people would not have gone to The Da Vinci Code in droves despite the bad reviews. Superman had a bad opening because most people didn't think it was that great, and word of mouth is spreading to either wait for the DVD or skip it-- not to mention that only the hardcore fanboys are going to it multiple times.
 
I wasn't right and whats then?

Everyone makes mistakes and know more abter them.

Now I have more knowledges, but you will be saying something like "hey, you said SR will make $300m and it didn't, your predictions are always wrong and blah blah blah".

Why can you understand that I can change my opinion?

Oh wait, you all are gods and you know everything and that is why you think so about me, right?
 
I don't want to ride on you Cinemaman, but dpm07 makes a point:

Without doubts, SR will make more than $300m.

1. There is one of the biggest fanbases.
2. Even haters will go to see it, because they have interst how bad will be this movie. I am sure they will notn like it, because they are haters.
3. SR have enough action sequences, there is no place for supervillian.
4. In competition with POTC2, SR will amaze people, because it will be great movie.
5. It also will have good WOM.
6. People don't think SR will make more than $300m and even beat POTC2, because they are always wrong.

As I can see it...
1. SR - $335m
2. Da Vinci Code - $301m
3. POTC2 - $275m
4. Cars - $273m
5. X3 - $226m (hey, not bad here! :up:)

;) :D I'm just messing with you dude. It's all in fun.

Then why people liked it? Even Darthphere gave it 9 out of 10.
