Predict how much Superman will gross at the box office.
Happy Valentine's Day, Guest!
The Batman was not as family friendly it was more inside baseball and a love letter to Batman fans. Superman is going to attract more children and has more elements of what successful Marvel movies had. I think the studio expects it to do better in the four quadrants.I'm going to be perhaps, cautiously pessimistic & say $600m-$700m, which would still be a success I'd say.
The Batman was, overall, well received, by most fans & critics & it "only" grossed $772m WW. I would be a little surprised if Superman managed to surpass that even if it was as well received.

I still remember they were hoping Superman with Nolan's name would get them a billion.The studio should keep it's expectations realistic to avoid disappointment.
Surpassing or even equalling what the previous incarnation's debut film made should be their first target milestone. Anything north of $700m & they should be delighted, anything sort of below $600m & they should be a little concerned.
The studio doesn’t greenlite Superman and market the way it has if it did not expect big things from it. You have investors you have to please and your not telling them lets put Superman in between Jurassic World and a Marvel movie if you don’t have confidence in the movie and IP. This is Superman not Shazam. Our fans are so scared it’s comical to me. You guys expect this movie to make less the Moana 2 and Wicked. Goodness I am so glad the studio suits don’t think like that or the movie would never have been made.The studio should keep it's expectations realistic to avoid disappointment.

You're missing the point: Those numbers ARE big things. We have GOT to get out of this mindset that "big things"= a billion. That's simply not true, and those expectations would stupidly set up the whole universe to be perceived as a failure even if it's not.The studio doesn’t greenlite Superman and market the way it has if it did not expect big things from it.

I agree that Wicked numbers would be fine but let’s not be scared of this getting a billion. Fans seem to be walking around on egg shells. This is the year of Superman. Wait till Super Bowl weekend when we get the clip.You're missing the point: Those numbers ARE big things. We have GOT to get out of this mindset that "big things"= a billion.

Wicked is the biggest box office success story of 2024 despite not making the most, because it obliterated previous expectations and made an exponentially bigger profit than anyone projected for it. Those numbers would equate to a substantial profit for Superman as well, and if the movie's well-received, that would more than please any investors.
I bet Supes/Clark, Lois, and Lex will get plenty of dialogue in the second trailer. Patience brother, it’s along way to go until July 11. I hope you noticed how quickly the FF4 talk and Jurassic talk sputtered because of all the other trailers came out last week. Superman has dominated the air space for two months with no competition. You can’t do better then finishing behind 4 of the most watched MCU films in history in trailer views of with a teaser. I think some of you guys get caught up with the negativity of a minority group but don’t understand the reality. Superman is the most anticipated movie of the year. If it’s just good it will blow up the box office.I feel it's a miss for them not to not play up Lex more.
We of course know that this Lex is not the Lex from the last several films.
In fact, he will probably be closer to the SV Lex more than anything else.
But, the GA doesn't know that.
It won't make or break the film either way, but, it would be cool to play him up some more.
I feel the B.O. will be in the 750 mill range if it's good.
800 mill(ish) if it's great.
Less than 650 if it's just OK.
And let's not talk about if it's less than ok.
