The Official Budget & Box Office Thread

[Maze]

Not really. The Spider-Man haters, Batman Begins haters and a few others weren't quite vocal because they simply didn't have the numbers to be vocal.

The haters of movies such as CINO, Batman & Robin, SINO, etc. really don't count because those movies are basically universally hated by nearly everyone.
The Superman Returns haters population is quite big despite being in the minority. It allows them to be vocal.

Superman returns inpar with those movies and being universally hated okkk

Please. you don't like it okk , but don't make up facts , it give haters a bad name (yup take a look at Yahoo, rotten, imdb , joblo , amazon , among other please )

Please tell me you are being sarcastic.

Nope .

and i can even tell ya that i not only i know people who didn't like Sr ,yep but especially non fans who loved it .. people who doesn't even like Super hero movie usually.

no? Well,feel free to stick to your theories

 

[lordofthenerds]

I see. I'm sure the Batman & Robin lovers say the same.

But if you look at polls/ratings for Batman & Robin they're exceedingly low proving that not many people like the movie.

 

[dude stannis]

Maybe the haters are just more vocal. IMDb may say 7/10 but if you look at the boards its nothing but hate. I don't know. It should be interesting to see what happens.

Most people who liked the movie don't bother going there. Even when they make counter arguements, the haters just ignore them and keep posting the same arguements.

IMDB shouldn't count as accurate. Because there's a whole lot of people that create multiple accounts to vote 10 or 1 on any given movie.

Yup,

but still like lord of the nerds say a Batman and robin (and even a Hulk ,average movie imo ) has really low numbers.

 

[GreenKToo]

Well who cares anyway.The haters can hate all they want.I'm no singer fan either,but I am a superman fan.We're getting a sequel,and thats all I care about.I'll take S.R. anyday of the week over the crappy C.B. films thats been put out in the last 2 or 3 yrs....X-men 1 and 2,..V for vendetta,..Spider-man 1 and 2,and Batman Begins are really the only good ones to me....Heck its all opinion anyway,what you may love I may hate,and vice versa.

 

[Maze]

Oh they may hate all they wan't (that said a part of me is sorry of them .. i prefer that somebody have a good time at the movies) personnaly even if everybody hated it , i would not care .but now what don't like at all is when somebody try to pass his opinion for actual facts . and the fact is box office smash or not ( and it is not one) Superman returns has been well recieved.that we like it or not.

 

[Road Warrior]

I like Superman Returns and I'm definitly looking forward to the sequel. But, I'm simply asking because all I read and hear is hate towards SR. That's right...read and hear! Some of you are only talking about the internet, but I know several people who hated the movie.

Well i'm talking also about the outside people : i know people who doesn't like the movie and people who does. depending on where you live i guess.

 

[superbaby]

if singer is still steering and doing the main storyline, this movie will end the superman movie franchise. and we'll see again in another 20.

 

[Catman]

The horror

I'm pretty sure of that.. especially when it seem that (approximatively)70 prct of the people who saw Sr liked it..

So, i would rather say that it's best to have a wait and see attitude on how the next one will be recieved, but it's me .

you can of course continue to pass your opinion (and that of many others ) for the general appreciation of what Singer is doing

 

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

so he will have superman fight solar powered blond clone of himself, take people in to outer space and have bad FX?

 

[dark_b]

Seriously! I haven't seen so much hate towards a movie since that Ben Affleck/J.Lo movie! I wonder if this movie will make any money since there's so much hate towards SR.

I guess it will only make money if it has a kickass trailer!

and why do you make things up? are you really serious? people hating SR like gigli?

are you from the planet of the apes or what?

i think hes trying to be funny.

 

[dark_b]

i think hes trying to be funny.

ok this would make sense. ok i understand that a lot of people dont like SR but gigli?

thats not normal.

 

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

ok this would make sense. ok i understand that a lot of people dont like SR but gigli?

thats not normal.

i would say it more there are fans that don't like the movie. and yes there are fault with the movie i would have like more superman in it but i thought it was a good movie that can rewatch.

 

[SatEL]

The haters have a very sizeable minority to allow them to be very vocal.

And the haters are a lot more vocal than those who liked it.

I hate the film and i believe i have a right to, ever since i was a kid i have bought anything related to superman, duvet,toys, games,comics, i even bought superman64 yes thats how much of a fan i was most people say they bought an xbox for halo i bought mine for superman man of steel. I have been nothing but faithful to the superman franchise and feel thats a tax paid and a right earned to ***** when some so called director comes in and destroys a character i have loved since i can remember SR is not a film about superman but a film about a man with similair powers.




Although i like Brandon i just think the kid thing is unredemable and with singer planning to give him more screentime i think the signs are already clear to see. Best call is to cancell the returns franchise wait 3-4yrs and start again this time get some comic advisors on the script and let renowed comic artists and writers read the script before giving it the go ahead.



The only one is feel sorry for is Brandon this was his big break i mean bosworth, spacey and marsden are already stars in their own right but Routh needed this just a dam shame thats all there is to say hopefully he bounces back from this.

How can there be a question if this movie will make money or not?

It will be marketed very enthusiastically.

For proof, look at the DVD marketing campaign- it's been huge. Take that and think about how well and large the marketing for the sequel will be.

Second- the sequel has promised more action. This is the MAIN critique by "haters" and the average movie goer. If it is marketed to have beautiful, classic and powerful fights...people will come.

Third- we are talking about Superman. Yes- that didn't do Spider-man numbers in SUPERMAN RETURNS, but it did have it reach 400 million dollars worldwide...that's serious dough.

Fourth- This is a movie coming out in 2009. This is Superman. This is going to have even more insane and beautiful special effects than we've ever seen and it will feature huge fights that will be realistic and great.

Bottom line.
THE MAN OF STEEL... money? Yes.
