Man of Steel vs. Pirates- who wins box office?

[The Apatow Crew]

and Transformers.

Not to PO you anything but that could very well end up like SR did.

 

[Erzengel]

Any movie has the potentional not to do well but tell me that TF isn't one of the most anticipated movies next year from an unbiased standpoint.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

i wouldnt know. but i honestly dont think that film is gonna be that great.

 

[Boom]

Interesting. Pirates only starts winning this poll AFTER Superman comes out.

I can't imagine why.

 

[CConn]

box-office mojo has it listed as 260 million. plus they already had a major flop in poisdon which cost 150 or more and your probably thinking what does that have to do with Sr. thats cause they put alot into both of these and have not even made half of what they put into both.

Newsweek reported it at $204, and Singer himself said it was around $200 million.

I doubt WB would take Poseidon's earnings in account for a Superman sequel. And haven't even lost all that much money with Poseidon; only 10 million, and they still have the DVD sales to account for.

I'm just saying. plus remember bay's last movie. the island? it turned out to beone of the biggest flops of 2005. 120 budget 12 opening week. so that could worry some people.

 

[Erzengel]

Yes. But still people are looking forward to it. It could do well, it couldn not but saying it will bomb without even knowing anything about it is very presumptious.

 

[CConn]

I'm not expecting too much out of it myself. Nothing against TF, but the adults don't know what it is, the kids don't know what it is, and it's only big audience seems to be that 20-something group that still remembers the TV show.

If it ends up being good, yeah it could do quite well, but if it's on par with the rest of Bay's movies...

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

Yes. But still people are looking forward to it. It could do well, it couldn not but saying it will bomb without even knowing anything about it is very presumptious.

hmm people said the same about SR,look how that turned out. i like transformers........beastars to be exact. never liked the truck version.

i'm not trying to argue. but when something doesn't mke whatthey expect it to make there not gonna be willing to make another sequel and if one is made its gonna be made on a lower budget.

and as for poseidon the domestic take was $57,436,803

while the production budget was 160 million. it might hve done better in the foreign market but studio's care more about the domestic take.

and here's the thing for SR.

Production Budget: $260 million

Domestic $106,038,000

Not with Spidey, Shrek, Potter, Bourne and the Pirates hanging around.

Simmer down there chief. i didn't say it would bomb. likle Conn said like many know or remember it.

 

[Boom]

I used to love this show. Seriously, I treated it like a religion.

I also liked Beast Machines, but it's not nearly as good as Wars. I always loved the twist though that

Tankor was Rhinox

. First time I found that out I was like "..."

Why don't you wait to see how much it makes at the end and add the foreign gross to that?

And how do you know what WB was expecting SR to make? The only people I heard predicting SR would do Spider-Man-like numbers were fanboys.

Yes, which means they'll never be a sequel to Poseidon. But that doesn't mean they lost money on it.

and here's the thing for SR.

Production Budget: $260 million

Domestic $106,038,000

And again, where did box office mojo get that $260 mllion dollar estimate from? I at least have rather knowledgable sources to back up my estimate.

i'm just saying now. don't get upset. but don't they usually look at the first week totals to determine if it get a sequel or not or if it's a success

 

[Erzengel]

Not with Spidey, Shrek, Potter, Bourne and the Pirates hanging around.

TF's does have a very nice release date.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Now everyone presides to yell at me once cause i said something aboutthe man of steel. and there mad now.

*goes to run and hide*

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Gee i wonder where they got one from?

 

[Erzengel]

I'm not upset.

But you just seem very keen on pointing out SR's budget even though it's a contradicted one. You're not a SR fan and you didn't watch the movie. Fine. But you seem to just have a vendetta against SR.

 

[Erzengel]

This is why no one can have a normal, articulated debate with you.

 

[Cmill216]

But you asked anticipation, correct? And in regards to anticipation, it isn't nearly as big of a blip as the films I mentioned.

I can't make any judgements on the film (as far as predictions go) until I see an ACTUAL trailer and who they are trying to target this film to. But it does have potential for good business.

beast wars shouldve turned into the live action versioon instead of the truck. beast machines was alright. they really f'ed up the look of all the characters. the only one who were left decent was optimus and cheetor

I still think it's up there. Maybe not in the same level as Spidey 3, Shrek 3, or Pirates but with all these sequels who knows maybe people would be interested in something new.

 

[Cmill216]

Beast Wars is one of my favorite shows EVER. God I loved it. It was just...so right.
