This seems like a good time for a reminder to everyone watching the movie in the next few days: if you are discussing anything that could be considered spoilery you MUST USE SPOILER TAGS in all threads except the ones designated as tag-free spoiler threads. Remember that some of your fellow Hypesters won’t be able to see the movie until next week or later!!! Thank you!!

People still go to Yahoos front page?

People still go to Yahoos front page?

out of habit since the early 2000s for me!
they have lot of sh***y writers and sh***y clickbait articles.
but i still sometimes go there to read up on news.

it's like a toxic relationship you've become accustomed too and never think about leaving because you don't know no better.

i hate them so much.

I used to enjoy that site...but about 2 years ago it became a [bleep]show. The fighting amongst the factions and people like EmpireCity going into heel mode took away the fun of watching people analyze box office.

Jurassic World Rebirth did better globally than expected.
Yet another film released this year that beat industry expectations. Just goes to show you how much of the industry trackers are struggling to gauge the GA walk ups.

I'm getting a feeling Superman will follow that trend and have a better than expected opening weekend.

[flickchick85]

Keeping my expectations in check - I just need it to do well enough to be profitable and be better-received than the last few Superman movies, so that we can count on a sequel. A higher RT score than Superman Returns, pls.

I just want a Superman movie that's better than the ones that have come after 1980 (DC League of Super-Pets might unironically be my fave among those).

Shouldn't be too much to ask!
