Superman (2025) Box Office Thread

Remember when theatrical windows were around 90 days...

For that price I'm going to wait for the 4K Blu-Ray.

Yeah. I will do you one better, I saw it 3 times in the theater. I will see it again on HBO Max.

For that price I'm going to wait for the 4K Blu-Ray.

Which will be $50.

Far From Home was also an immediate post-Endgame movie. It would've made a billion even if it put Peter in Antarctica.

My point is that taking Spidey out of New York clearly had zero impact. Audiences don’t care.

I bet online Superman’s digital box office will be studied and dissected as much as its daily movie box office by social media.

Curious to see the theater count over the next two weeks. It already lost over 600 screens last weekend due to the sheer amount of August movies and yet still managed a good hold including a Sunday per theater average higher than Naked Gun and Bad Guys 2. In fact, it hopped over Naked Gun yesterday.

Standard 4K is $40 at the moment.

Physical media FTW anyway. Always.

Apparently digital VOD sales are good business for studios. It basically replaces the physical media market sales at this point. Didn’t one movie make like $100 M on VOD alone? Could’ve sworn I saw it somewhere

 

[The Shape]

Releasing this on digital while the film is still making $1MIL per day in theaters is crazy behavior.

 

[Moncton]

I am sure the studios have enough data by now to show that a digital release doesn't affect theatrical box office much.

It's probably much more lucrative getting films on digital sooner rather than later while they're still running on any steam they've had from their theatrical run.
Not only does it cost more to 'rent' or buy these digital films in most cases than it is to see them in the cinema (at least if you rent/buy as soon as they are released), but they likely also see a bigger percentage of that money because they don't have theatres & whoever else that takes a slice eating into those earnings just as much, similar story with the physical copies.

Wicked earned $70m just in it's first week of digital sales, I'm sure it's probably well past $100m in revenue earned by now even though I can't find any articles that say as much.

Definitely waiting on 4K. Although I did hear the physical media of Superman will not include some of the bonus features that digital has, which if true... That's a real slap in the face.

Wasn't Reeves commentary for The Batman a digital exclusive?
That was a slap in the b*lls...

HOPPED? Mighty leaps in a single bound!

Strong Wednesday to Thursday daily hold with just an 8% percent drop and a good weekly Thursday to Thursday hold with just a 38 percent drop. Apparently, it will only lose about 265 theaters and be at about 2600 locations. Usually, these conditions would lead to a sub 50 or even a sub 40 percentage drop. We'll see if the release on digital makes it steeper.
