Cinemaman said:As I can see, SR makes BB's numbers with not bad legs.
Well it can make $130m at the end of this week and then $205-215m in total.
Will it be flop? Because the official budget is $260m.
And if it makes near BB's numbers, will we see sequel?
If yes, then will Singer come back?
What you think?

We'll never get anything official from Warners on budgets; it's not something *any* studio likes to publicize.lazur said:I'd like to hear someone at WB say that they're lumping in the last 20 years of budgeting into THIS movie before I actually believe that.
Mojo has it at $134.5M ww right now. Whereja get the 150 figure? Just curious.The movie is close to 150 mill worldwide right now.

A sequel has already been confirmed: Warner Bros. announced plans for a Superman VI several months before the release of the movie; pre-production is planned to begin in late 2007/early 2008, and it's scheduled to be released in Summer of 2009.[5]

Singer has alreay started to clear his schedule to shoot this film in late 2007 andin 2008.
PS: THE BUDGET IS NOT 260 MILLION!!!! WHO TOLD U THAT CRAP! WHEN WAS IT CONFIRMED!! ITS 204 Million.....
that is all.
WTFwuzThT said:LOL, denial... it's not just a river in Egypt!

Building off two of the best superhero films ever is hardly a bad idea. Don't be so quick to write off Singer. You have no clue what he has in store for the sequel.Mr. Socko said:Yes but hopefully Singer and his crap is away from it. Start over again with a good director who knows a good story and some actual Superman mythos besides a few 70s movies.
Its inevitable. There WILL be another Superman film. WB didn't go to all the trouble (a decade worth of it) to stop with one outting. It's gonna happen!chicagodave said:singer improved from x1 to x2, i think if he does a sequel to supes it will be much better and a more tighter script. lets hope he does get that chance.
Dude, seriously wait 'til the extended version comes out with all the Krypton scenes and farm scenes and quiet a few more. I think you'll have a change of heart, but then again I am the eternal optomist.Mr. Socko said:It's like making a sequel to Gone With the Wind

And just think that the next film won't carry all of that baggage. The next film should be strong indeed!David33 said:The budget is 260 Million counting the Superman projects that were cancelled!!!!Why is so hard for some of you to understand that??.
Thanks for bringing a nice dose of practicallity to these boards, FantasticThing. It must be the fashional thing to bash SR right now. This place is like the weather its always changing.FantasticThing said:Haters everywhere....
It amazes me that people take time out of their busy lives to spit on a film, especially one as great as Superman Returns.
A sequel will get made, Singer will direct it and I'll be in line to see it. The funny part is, so will all the haters.

lazur said:Because it's never been OFFICIALLY confirmed. Why is it so hard for YOU to understand that?
Show me a source claiming that is the official budget and I'll shut up about it. Until then, it's around 200 million as Singer has already stated.
I think that is because its rather obvious. Those failed starts had to factor in somewhere.Drago said:I definitely see a sequel coming, here's why:
1) The general audience was a little skeptical about this about Supes 3 and 4, similar to how the general audience was skeptical about Batman Begins after Forever and Robin. The film will have lasting power because of that skepticism- maybe not the same lasting power of Batman Begins, but close, and I see domestic Box Office still being around 200mill.
2) Combining foreign B.O. Gross, the absolute worst case scenario will be breaking even, and that's if it has a horrible foreign box office.
3) That leaves dvd sales and the insane amount of merchandising this film has.
4) Then, after those profits, the general audience will be ready for a sequel, after realizing that this film wasn't as bad as they were afraid of.
