Box Office: ‘Superman’ Leaps Past $300M Globally, Nears $200M Domestically

Elsewhere, horror offering 'I know What You Did Last Summer' earned $2.2 million in Thursday previews as it opens this weekend opposite fellow reboot 'Smurfs,' starring Rihanna.

It has past the 300 million global box office yesterday. Domestic numbers is really helping. Is expected to go above 400 by the end of this weekend.

Today in Italy my theatre was packed with a touching applause at the end. My eyes went wet for the third time

 

[Moncton]

Man, if this film would have been even average overseas it would have flown past $700 million easily

 

[GreenKToo]

I think perhaps some of it should be set in overseas next time. Make them feel they are part of it. If that makes sense.

I'm still seeing 60-80% of tickets being sold for showtimes at one of my nicer theaters (all week.) Those D-Box seats are selling out hours in advance. Here's the one for 7 30 tonight (dbox seats only)

My prediction based on my own plans for seeing it again, as well as a semi-Barbenheimer type of scenario.

Superman easily wins weekend #2 due to the lack of major competition. That’s not to say that Smurfs and I Don’t Know Why You Still Care What They Did Last Century won’t make some dough but I I don’t think they put a big dent in Superman’s potential because they are different genres and not big tentpole flicks. There’s some overlap of course but probably not much.

F4 will obviously win next weekend but I see Superman getting a bump either then or the week after as some people decide to double their superhero pleasure and go see both films. Might not be a lot of people out there wanting to do the double feature thing but I’m planning on doing it and I’ve heard some people say they want to do the same. #Superfantastic!

Again, I don’t think this will be a huge boost for Supes but it could be enough of one that gives it a third and possibly fourth big weekend in a row. Whether this is mostly domestic or international (if it happens at all) is anyone’s guess but I figure what the hell? I’m optimistic here. WOM is good, critical scores are good, and its box office holds throughout this week have been impressive, even with China being a non-factor. I think we’re in good shape.

I wonder why there's been no update on OS numbers. Last weekend's is still just an estimate, we don't even have the actual figures yet.

No other movie has had its OS numbers delayed like this. Is WBD holding them back because they're actually worse than has been reported?

Yes they clearly know that it’s a bomb.

Well, if they DO kill Hal, then that potentially leaves the door open for John to have to train a new recruit (which could be Kyle). Granted, that changes a lot of Kyle’s origin, but let’s face it… his original origin was pretty dumb to begin with. Ganthet makes this big speech about how the ring “must be a symbol once again” after Hal destroyed everything so he just… gives it to the first guy he sees? lol. And let’s not get into the whole “fridge” thing, which was such a poor decision that it’s still referenced to this day despite very few people actually knowing that it began in an obscure Green Lantern comic.

All that said, I love Kyle and I hope he shows up soon. But they can rework the hell out of origin and drastically improve it.

I think that if John trains a new recruit, it'll probably be Jessica.

Yeah that would be fine too. I guess I’m just not that familiar with her. But I hope they don’t skip Kyle.

Superman got lucky that Helen Shivers stayed dead in IKWYDLS or else it'd be in REAL TROUBLE for that #1 spot

Ngl I’d totally watch it if they had magically brought her back.

Overseas total through Thursday is at $132mil btw. So at least it ain’t Twisters!

Currently around $310mil WW.

How long is it going to take for Superman to beat Black Adam's entire B.O.?

 

[flickchick85]

How long is it going to take for Superman to beat Black Adam's entire B.O.?

It has already done so domestically (which is still the number that matters most to the studios) and will probably pass its worldwide total by Monday.

For those still worried, to put it in perspective, this movie has already smashed through the entire domestic runs of ALL of DC's recent failures - Black Adam, The Flash, Joker 2, Blue Beetle, Aquaman 2, Shazam 2 - and did so for all except BA in its first weekend, actually. It has also already overtaken the entire WORLDWIDE runs of most of them, and will be passing the others this weekend. It will also be surpassing Thunderbolts on both fronts this weekend, Cap 4's domestic run this weekend and its whole WW run probably a day or two later.

And we're just now going into Week #2. There is zero chance it will ever be looked back upon in the same breath as all those movies mentioned above. Yeah, the international numbers are not where they've been for Superman movies of the past, but CBM's in general are just not in the same place internationally that they once were. We're good, y'all. The movie is doing well, and most importantly, people are liking it and saying so with their wallets.

But........all the doom and gloom from the Snyderbros. This movie was a complete and utter failure.

Saw it in a pretty packed theater tonight. My wife really likes it.

That kind of pandering doesn't exactly work. American superheroes, period, are having issues overseas. And I don't think there is a fix for that.

 

[SomeOldGuy]

16 Friday per Deadline. Jat has it a bit higher at 16.25. So looking at a 53-55ish second weekend. Solid if unspectacular numbers.

 

[GreenKToo]

Thats pretty spectacular to me.
it will probably do 55 to 60ish mill over the weekend.

And a good portion of the movie was set overseas anyway (in fictional countries, but still). So I’m not sure how much of that is really a factor. Not sure if any of it was filmed overseas though (or how much that would matter to other markets).


Edit: Well, they filmed in Norway at least. I know that
