[spideymusprime]

dude no offence..but sith was an end of an era... returns is a start of another.

And the Phantom Menace wasn't the start of a new era?

Yeah, the era of Star Wars movies that suck...

 

[Hunter Rider]

Yeah, the era of Star Wars movies that suck...

 

[spideymusprime]

True guys it did suck. But still grossed a whopping 431 mil.

 

[ultimatefan]

Don´t get me wrong, I actually liked ROTS... but couldn´t resist the joke...

 

[Cinemaman]

And ROTS was really awesome movie

 

[ultimatefan]

And ROTS was really awesome movie

I liked it, I liked it, I just had to make that joke...

 

[Hunter Rider]

I loved AOTC anyway does this remind you of last year at all ?

What is the most important for you? Movie itself or movie's box office numbers?

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

To me both..if the movie doesn't proform..no sequel.

 

[Hunter Rider]

To me both..if the movie doesn't proform..no sequel.

That depends on how much you enjoy the movie,if it isnt to your liking a flop leads to a reboot in 6 years

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

True..

reboot = jon peters.

The movie is more important to me sure. But what's wrong with making a prediction that I feel will be correct. People are over-estimating movies like DVC and Pirates and under-estimating Supes. I just don't any factor affecting Returns from getting over a 100 on its OW. Seriously, how can it? If the Hulk can gross 60 million on it's opening weekend, what makes you guys think Supes will open to only 75 million?

Ok, I can understand you

But just imagine what if SR made Kong's numbers, what you will think?

Just answer.

2 things jump out right away: 1. Ticket prices 2. Gas prices.

Believe it or not, those two things can have a big impact on peoples summer movie habits.

If that happens (which I HIGHLY doubt), I will be ready to eat all the crow pie that will be served to me. Just don't forget to add a little salt .

Call me delusional, call me crazed, call me insane. Superman Returns will gross over 100 million on it's opening weekend. Obviously I will revise my prediction as the days go by. But it will not go below 100 mil.

 

[Milkman95]

ROTS = overrated, just like POTC............

Those are very good points but the factors you mentioned usually affect
those average, boring movies. Let's face it. Superman is a blockbuster and the hype is going to be huge come June. People will see Superman regardless of ticket and gas prices. It's not like tickets are really expensive anyway. Come on. I mean who's going to say. 'Oh I'm not going to see Superman because the ticket went up by a dollar'. Everybody movie goer will see Superman Returns on the 4th of July weekend.

they DO....but in the end you gotta think...

...most parents will be taking their children to see the daytime showing (cheaper tickets). gas prices are a different story....everyone's fed up with them, but most people who goto the theater bring 1 or more friends/family members with them and that's sorta like car pooling.

the only things i can see hurting Superman Returns in the box office are...1) people wanting darker heroes now-a-days 2) too many comic book movies being made 3) PotC2

other than that, it should be smooth sailing (er....flying) for Supes!

Actually, those affect all movies. Ticket prices are the number 1 gripe from people I know when it comes to going to the movies. They really are getting out of hand.

And you can't assume gas prices won't be a factor, as they may be near, at least here where I live, $4 or MORE a gallon. Unless everyone has a theater 2 blocks away, it will be in the back of their minds.

That's the only thing that could hurt Returns but I feel that Superman will hold up strongly against the highly over-rated POTC2. I'm sorry but I prefer Supes anyday over Zack Zparrow.

I think SR will make really high numbers (opening weekend $85m, $320-340m domesticly and $370-390m in overseas), but not so high.

I will make special thread for SR box office, when movie comes. And if I will be wrong and you will be right, you win. If I will be right, I win.

Ok?

Yeah, I agree with what you're saying. But who's going to miss Superman due to ticket prices and gas prices? We're talking about a big name here. If there's one movie to see this summer it's Superman!

The answer to that question is a huge can of worms, now isn't it?
