‘Batman v Superman’ Seen Earning Less Profit Than Superman Alone

That just indicates how bad the film, on its own, is going to perform relative to MoS and the market for SH films. Relying on secondary channels such as TV, hotels, film specific merchandise, etc. and still looking to be below return for a film that earned less revenue.

Whelp I thought the creative team was wrong when put together for MoS, I briefly thought maybe Nolan had sprinkled some fairy dust when I saw the first trailers for MoS (which remain fantastic), then I saw MoS and knew I'd been right. That I saw the creative team given sanction to make a more expensive but worse film, BvS, still has me scratching my head.

Is it even gonna hit 800 million? :/

Incredible to even be able to ask this reasonably. I think it will but it's got what abruptly feels like a long way to go and there's increasing sense it might not even clear $800 million (although if rumours of a round of extended cut showings are true WB might go all out to force the film to at least clear $800 million.

It also has 7.3 on IMDB and a 70% Audience Score on RT
Obviously fanboys are in full force. But if I'm true to myself the movie is a 7 or 6 if I were to give it a score. I actually enjoyed it, but it definitely has a lot of problems.

I agree, the movie was good but was riddled with issues. It could have been incredible.

WB need to fix that issue with the future movies. Remove Snyder, place him in an advisory role.
 
$6M on Friday will likely translate to a $20-22M second weekend, depending on Saturday's bump.

The Boss coming in first will depend on how it holds, since without previews it was only 600k or so ahead of BVS. It is going to need a Saturday increase from Fridays $6.6M.
 
Well, Jesus was a Jew so, checkmate atheitsts.

But seriously, there's so much symbolism attached to this movie version that you could probably name any character and find something. Hercules? Yes, he is. Beowulf? You betcha. Strawberry Shortcake? I can see it.

Snyder da genius!
 
The film was 3 hours long before cuts, and is full of explosions and CGI. Some of you have no real sense of what that stuff costs as we get the "not seeing that money on screen" comment for every big budget film.

Dude, don't even bother. They read concise posts like that and think you're typing Latin.
 
Superman is an allegory on Jewish immigrants, not Jesus; Superman was hijacked from someone who fights for the poor and turned into some guy who dies every movie because he's misunderstood.

New 52 Action Comics nailed his character I think.

People actually said this for TFA LOL.

And that statement would be correct. Nothing screamed a production value in excess of $200M (talent, Ford's salary, was a big amount of TFA's budget though).

Avatar cost $238M to produce, and as a viewer, one could see where it was spent - I did not have that sensation for either TFA or BvS; I don't think it's wrong to fault the viewer thinking that.

Agreed. Most of these productions just seem to be pretty wasteful. Avatar is an exception.

If after this film DC get is together after this and we finally get consistently great films from here on out, will the sins of the past be somewhat forgiven? I just want to honestly know. Because it seems that this could be an interesting world that they could play with. And with the right amount of character development in the overarching narrative, most of the issues with the portrayals with Batman and Superman could be erased.

Absolutely. BvS while highly disappointing is no Batman and Robin. With Batman and Robin there was a long hiatus, and Batman Begins likely did less business as a result of the lingering bad taste, but once that got back audience goodwill the Dark Knight was able to do incredibly well. A good JL would do fairly well and then would set the stage for future DCEU movies to do well. The question is whether JL, which is made by the same basic people, will be good.

An R-Rated comedy starring Melissa McCarthy could knock BATMAN and SUPERMAN off the top spot this week.

I still can't believe it.

R-rated comedies are apparently kryptonite to this movie. Can't get close to Deadpool. Can't keep the top spot from McCarthy.

Friday estimates are up.

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/daily/chart/

BvS drops 60% to $6m, good hold for Zootopia. With previews The Boss was $8m, so ~$7.2m for Friday proper.

Guessing BvS ends a couple million below The Boss. Zootopia should do better than the $14m it needs to top TFA's 6th weekend (which is bonkers).

That's hilarious. What an embarrassment for WB.
 
For those who don't want to click through the link:

Friday Studio Estimates:

1) The Boss - $8.1M
2) Batman v Superman - $6.0M - $279M total
3) Zootopia - $3.5M - $285M total
4) Hardcore Henry - $2.0M
5) My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 - $1.9M - $42M total


My guess for BvS is $20-22M depending on whether we get another strong Saturday increase.

My guess for Zootopia is $14M for now, which is a bit weaker than I would have expected. The film would need a 90% Saturday bump to hit $15M.


While the film has already doubled its budget domestically, MBFGW2 has to be one of the biggest drops for a sequel to a blockbuster film. $240M to less than $60M domestic.
 
When are we going to get an animated film that beats Shrek 2?
The film opened in 2004, had the second highest opening weekend ever, the largest day ever, became the third (or fourth can't tell with Star Wars 1 re-release) highest domestic grosser and is still sitting at #11 at $441M, a comfortable $30M above Toy Story 3 and $40M above Frozen.

Anyone think Finding Dory might make it?
