Superman Returns We don't like how this movie is looking (merged)

[Showtime]

$2.95

Same here.

 

[Matt]

I'm at 2.95 as well.

 

[Pickle-El]

$2.95

I only put incriments of 25.00 for my 05' Accord nowadays....it just isn't worth it to me. And, I feel like I'll only drive where I have to.

Gas in the tank really does feel like money in the bank....

 

[Pickle-El]

Oh yeah, it was I believe 3.90 in Beverly Hills for Premium....but what's that when you easily make over 100K a year?

It sucks, because even though a good portion of L.A. is a rich place, there's a ton of people here who simply can't afford these outrageous gas prices.....Anyway, summer should be fun over here.

Biggest Flop: "Superman Returns"
Brandon Routh will prove to be Kryptonite to the Superman francise. A wimpy, bland cupcake can't fill the Man of Steel's tights.

LOL, they said "cupcake"....

I dont think Pirates will be nearly as big as it was before. Only X2 I can recall made more then the origional. Now that there is competition w/Superman, and people know what to expect, I would say low $200 mill. If Superman cant make close to $300 mill, there is something extremely wrong

I disagree. Pirates will be huge. The first movie hit it off with teens and young adults. I live on a college campus, and this is the only movie people are talking about right now.

In response to that list........wow. I used to actually trust critics, you know, seeing as it was their job to recommend movies. But that list just makes me feel disgusted.

 

[Cinemaman]

I think the lowest numbers from SR we can expect about $235m.

I would be a bit disappointed with SR making only $250m.

It would be not bad for me, if SR made only $260m.

I would be fine with SR making $270-280m.

It would be good, if SR made $290-300m.

It would be awesome, if SR made $310-320m.

And it would be GREAT, if SR made $330-340m.


So I think SR have chance to get $300m, but it wouldn't be bad, if SR made only $260-280m.

Well, I like this guy's opinion. He has a very interesting title in the field he works. I mean, he must know a lot about box office.....

Paul Degarabedian, president of Box Office Exhibitor Relations.

Superman Takes On Mona Lisa

This summer at the box office looks like a showdown between a superhero in blue tights and Tom Hanks with crazy hair — with some mutants, pirates and Tom Cruise tossed in for a little flavor.

With hugely anticipated hits such as "The Da Vinci Code" (May 19) and a new Superman movie (June 30), the 2006 summer movie season is looking to sweep away memories of one of the flattest warm-weather box office showings in a decade last year.

"Things are looking much better than 2005, with momentum moving into this summer," said Paul Degarabedian, president of Box Office Exhibitor Relations. "This time last year we were heading into what really ended up being quite a slump — it was the worst summer in many, many years."

And while "Superman Returns" and "Da Vinci" may be the biggest names, there are several other dogs in the fight to be the No. 1 summer blockbuster, like this Friday's "Mission: Impossible III," "X-Men: The Last Stand" (May 26) and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" (July 7).

........

However, Degarabedian said "Superman Returns" will fly away with the No. 1 summer movie title.

"Superman is such a well-known character and Warner Bros. did such a great job of bringing the Batman character back already," he said. "Spider-Man is the only other character that could generate the kind of money Superman could. 'Da Vinci Code' will be in the top five, but Superman has this base of younger fans that 'Da Vinci' can't tap into."

Sounds positive.

I think the TOP5 will be like this one:
1. POTC2 - $330-350m
2. SR - $285-315m
3. Cars - $250-280m
4. DVC - $260-270m
5. X3 - $185m-215m.

Check this out about the DaVinci Code.

http://www.filmstew.com/Content/Article.asp?ContentID=14090&Pg=1

"...As the film screened this evening in Cannes for journalists packed into the Debussy Theater, the feeling moved quickly from one of great anticipation to one of, shockingly, great boredom. Ron Howard knows how to ratchet up the tension in a movie; witness Apollo 13 and Backdraft. But here, instead of the film building to a white knuckle conclusion, it was the audience fidgeting as Da Vinci passed the two-hour mark and unveiled the first of its half-dozen endings. So much so that by the time the big climactic moment of the film finally arrived, the audience burst out laughing, as if this were yet another classic bit of Tom Hanks comedy. As the credits rolled, not a single bit of applause was heard.

Afterwards, as critics from around the world poured out of the Debussy, they were swarmed by two dozen camera crews looking, finally, for the first whiff of reaction to the long-awaited adaptation of Dan Brown's mega-bestseller. Used to being on the other side of the camera, these members of the Fifth Estate could only shake their heads in astonishment, complaining about how many times Hanks and Tautou seemed to conveniently avoid capture by French police. Or, how a majority of the two-and-a-half-hour film seemed to be about endless historical exposition, most of which was presented so fast that in the end it seemed to confuse rather than enlighten the audience..."

I have feeling DVC will be next Passion of Christ with high numbers and negative reviews.

It will do well in box office, but there is going to be big quanity of negative reviews from critics.

My motto: never trust a critic before they've seen the movie...

Dont think so. We can expect high numbers from POTC2 not only domesticly, but also in overseas.

Without doubts, it will make more than $300m domesticly and more than $450m in overseas.

There is also huge fan base of Superman, and movie itself looks exciting for people.

If people have big interest about it, SR will get not only good WOm, but also HIGH numbers.

 

[MJB]

I love how all these critics dismiss X3.

 

[TheScarecrow]

$750 mill worldwide?

You know I was about to say how ridiculous that was but then I looked it up and the original was earned $653 million worldwide. If POTC2 is actually good, then I agree, it will easily make $750 mill.

I don't think SR will out gross it now.

I think POTC2 will get even $833m, because there should be movie, which made more than $800m in worldwide.

Just like SWIII and HP-4 made last year.

For SR it is possible to get $300m domesticly with $380m in overseas.

Those predictions smell like sheit.

Why? Can you explain me?

If you cant, then SHUT UP!

da vinci code and pirates will obviously make the most, cause of built in audience. the advertisements are everywhere, they are taken care of.

x3 will still have its same audience or less, sadly becauise its not so familiar comic book characters, and somehow only fans and the average younger crowd are attracted to it.

now the big question here(at least for this thread) what will superman do?
sure hes a well known character.... but to the general public do they have any idea that this movie is coming out?
despite all the fx movies these past years, is a single guy with super strength who flys in tights appealing anymore?
i personally dont think so.
and whose fault is it, if it tanks? the Wb and bryan singer.
one simple poster for almost a year. one teaser for the longest time.
and now two trailers at the last second and a new poster...
and a record budget...
sorry folks, this isnt going to make it in my eyes.

Ok, can I say what I think?

I think SR need 2 trailers, because people are more exciting about POTC2 than it.

And after so negative reviews, I dont think DVC will get more than $280m. Also, some people didn't want to see, because they are catholic. And Catholic church banned DVC to be released in some places. That is really bad for box office money.
But as people have big interest about it, they will go to see it. So DVC will earn big, but not so big money.

About POTC2, I will agree with you, everyone want to see it.

But SR promoting has started in necessary time. So it is good. People will see 2 trailers and a lot of tv-spots. I don't think SR marketing is good, but also it isn't bad. We all know that there will not be any supervillian, but there is another bigger problem, New Krypton. At nowadays ecological problems are the most dangerous problems for our planet. And I think even haters will go to see it, only because they have interest about how it will be. So if SR get good WOM and positive reviews, it will easly make more than $280m. I also think it will get huge opening weekend.

 

[Strgts]

Maybe this new Trailer = "Sorry we ****ed up the last Trailer so bad"

 

[dark_b]

i agree strgs ehehhehe

 

[Ita-KalEl]

The marketing is going to be good.

Superman and POTC2 will save Hollywood.

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]
