Superman Returns My one problem with Superman Returns

[Asr]

The other studios can still change their movies' release dates, if they think another date would be more optimal, or if they feel threatened. It's happened before and it can happen again. Marketing gets behind one movie and hypes it up so much, and the movie is actually good too, the competition will feel threatened and change release dates.

I am hoping for 500-600 million WW. They get that, the DVD sales should more then do well.

But i don't know about CW. I just doesn't hit as Summer hit, more of something that would of fit in Nov. But not June. We will see though.

$500M+ is a good take as i think in 2006 we will see 3 or 4 films around that but none with ROTS type money

CW may find an audience that eats into SR's with the families though

it may but i think if they see cw instead of usperman over july 4th, theyll see superman at some other point. also, ive been consoidering, star wars opened to 108 and in its second weekend 2 films opened that grossed a combined 95 million that weekend, and star wars got 840 ww and 380 in u.s., so i think really huge number are still possible.

I think that SR will open the 1st weekend with his $95m.

On the next weekend it wiil take about $73m.

And on the 3 weekends SR will take $55m.

Then on 4-6 weekends SR will take $76m.

On 7-10 weekends Super will take $330m.

The result of all box-office in America is $330m

In other parts of world it will take $391m

And in all the world it will take $721m

Why would it take more on 7-10 weekend than the 1st, wouldn't the takings be high then decrease over time

SR doesnt have the pull ROTS had and also the second week is the POTC2 opening,ROTS didn't have that level of competition

I think this is a great overestimation

I don't think POTC2 is going to do as well as the first one did - probably because of Superman...................

The most likely effect is both will eat into each others profits,the Depp factor gives POTC2 the edge though IMO

 

[Tron5000]

I think this is a great overestimation

As do I. Remember, Superman is the quintessential American iconic hero, and much of the world doesn't view America very favorably. I expect the movie to do better at home than oversees.

oh i know, thats why i have supermans total at 325 million and not 380 million million depends what you think pirates will open to really. star wars secondweek saw the opening of the longest yard and madagascar gros a combined 95 million. i think pirates is capible of pulling 95 million opening, so yes it has the same level-if not bigger-compitition then star wars.

sorry, no...if Spiderman 2-which takes place solely in nyc-can make 400 million overseas, superman could easily do 300, especially since hes:

a. a hero to the world while spideys nyc
b.more well known
c. bigger movie in sizre/scope

i dont other countires hate of america will stop them from seeing a superman. its a movie. hes an american hero, but he is more then that-hes the worlds hero. the same way the old batman films always made more in the u.s. then overseas, batman begins made more in u.s. then over seas. and i t hink, thesame way the old supes movies always made more overseas, the same will happen again.

The most likely effect is both will eat into each others profits,the Depp factor gives POTC2 the edge though IMO

perhaps. while noone can deney depp is a huge draw, supermans name is much bigger.

I think it'll do well, if it turns out to be better than what's been said about it so far. I know I don't give a crap about Pirates Of the Carribean 2, the first wasn't that big of a deal. I'd rather see SMR.

 

[Excel]

bumping. i was friggin right about just about everything. lack of kids seeing movie, pirates being to uber, july 4th week isnt that big any more.

 

[Galactical]

this was interesting to read. Especially if you had no idea it was a bump from last year...

You can see the future. what are this week's lottery numbers hmmm?

 

[Excel]

loli m not that good.
