I remember how people were like: why did he show up in his Superman costume? Just wear a suit...
No winning with those people. Everything has to be questioned and is just bad.

Well, here I am...son.
Jurassic World's tracking was 100-125 million, opened at 209 lol. Als read that Hunger Games tracking had it at 67 million then it made 152 for the March record.
I think the good news is that BvS is already sold more than TDKR and that was tracking for a 185 million opening before the shooting, and ended up with 160. I'm sticking with my 175-200 million opening weekend.
WB should add more Thursday showings, as a lot of people have off Friday for Good Friday.

The holiday weekend gives BvS a better chance at blowing past estimates if WoM is strong.
I'm wondering... Is that the actual height of Robin? haha
Joker obviously took away his legs so that he couldn't run away. Run, run as fast as you can! You can't catch me. I'm the limbless man.
I really want to see Jared Leto's Joker. That Heath was just too big and too strong, and whether those odds can be overcome remain to be seen. Leto actually got second billing after William Smith, which means he's not just a cameo in that Suicide Squad movie. That changes everything. We're getting it all. Not just a glimpse, but his life.
It's Will Smith and Joker. I don't know if the world is ready for this.

Actually, it's Willard Smith.
Haha, that threw me off when he said his full name telling a story on the Graham Norton Show. I was like, "Willard? My whole life is a lie!"

Because it's SUPERMAN ON TRIAL, they have no idea who Clark is or should... like how dumb does the discussion have to get? Like really?
I think that muddles the picture... I'm standing by 175-187M. Even if it falls below that but above 155M, this is a good success.
That's the official tracking numbers including pre-sale tickets?
But we still get Terrio.
Deadshot will have a huge pivotal role. Will turned down Independence Day due to there being an important part in Suicide Squad. Sauce:

I'll try to explain tracking to you. I think there's probably a strong misunderstanding about how it works, but I'm not really surprised. Folks tend to engage in pissing contests, and this is an extension of that for them.
Tracking is used as a marketing tool. The purpose behind tracking isn't just to understand what a movie is looking to open with, but to also understand where you need to focus the final few weeks of your marketing. First you have your market research that breaks down the age and genders of the population that is potentially interested in your movie. This is essentially survey based projection of awareness. It's broken down into different categories that judges whether a person is aware of the movie, whether they're interested in seeing it, and also what they'd choose from a list of movies releasing at the same time to watch. These statistics are broken down into four categories (male over 25, female over 25, and male under 25, female under 25). For example, let's say initial research showed female under 25 is a little weak, you'd try and increase your marketing towards that demographic.
Separate to this you have online ticket sales, and also data from major theater chains, as well as other metrics. This information isn't available outside of studios. Some of this information is paid for. These are your raw numbers that allow you to number crunch, then contrast and compare with various other movies to get a better gauge on performance. It's important to keep in mind that this is domestic. International is not accurate, and the amount of variables involved mean you can pretty much ignore any international projections you might see online. I would personally tell you to ignore domestic projections too since predicting box office numbers towards the upper end is next to impossible due to the way the metrics work. The idea of tracking isn't to determine what a movie may open to, since that will never be consistently accurate. Not to mention, folks will be missing the raw numbers needed to do the right analysis in conjunction with the other metrics. This effectively means you have people just throwing out random numbers.
I'm not sure where that $120-$140 million number is from, but if that's the early estimate from the survey based data, that's a very strong sign for Warner Bros. What's more important, and which I imagine isn't available, is the market research on the demographic targets for the movie as well as the initial ticketing data. Warner will fine tune their marketing the next three weeks to bring up the lacking demo.
Edit:
He broke my heart by turning down Independence Day.

Alright, confession time. Which one of you is Henry?
So it looks like out of the four categories, the female under 25 is the weaker one. That's to be expected. It says in that article that they have insiders telling them that the movie is currently keeping pace with The Dark Knight Rises. There are still three weeks until release however, so it'd be interesting to know when The Dark Knight Rises really stepped up in its ticket sales. I'd imagine it would have to be in the final week leading to release. That won't be any dissimilar from BvS either. Regardless, this would put BvS down for a pretty huge opening in today's climate. What you'll probably find is that as you get closer to release, this tracking number will creep upwards.

Go for it. Haven't seen anyone else take it.
Great post up above man. I think they're going to start pushing WW more to get girls under 25 into the film. While that's their weakest market, it seems like it's still very strong.
Mayimbe is doing a periscope at 3est to discuss the tracking numbers
So we should expect a spot that either focuses on Lois/Clark romance or more Bruce/Dianne interactions

If they focus much more on Wonder Woman in TV spots, you'll basically give away all of her scenes. I'm sure if you showed her against Doomsday, it'd be pretty grabbing, but it'd also ruin your highlight sequence. There are other ways to bring Wonder Woman forward in the promotion, but they also need to focus on other avenues to promote the movie.
It's not just about TV spots. You're talking general marketing now. Warner Bros. knows what they're doing though. They tend to be really good at this sort of thing. Don't let some vocal voices on an internet forum convince you that they don't.
So I made a TV spot:

Pretty good, could easily be used as a tv spot.
Really well done, but afew too many instances of detached voice-over. Feels like the Perry White line could've just shown Lawrence Fishbourne.

If so, that would be pretty rad!
The post-apocalyptic scene is most likely Flash's future?

Ohhh, so maybe...
I mean, some fan theories were that
Green Lantern would come in at some point and warn the League about Darkseid.
The Flash travels back in time from where Darkseid took over to warn Batman, Supes and Wondy and the Flash we get in the movies will be future Flash.
First choice for BvS is 23%, MoS was 11%, Jurassic World was 16% Mayimbe says.
First Choice: 31% Males under 25. 28% males over 25. 15% for females over 25. 16% for females under 25.
Total Awareness: 88%. 89% males under 25, 93% males over 25, 87% females under 25 and 84% for females over 25.
Definite interest: 62%. 70% males under 25 and over, 54% females under 25, 52% females over 25.
The MoS and JW numbers are the first tracking numbers from 3 weeks out.

Is there a full write-up of all of the new EW information?

Is that what people call the "unaided awareness" ?

Nope. It doesn't account for the warehouse scene either that was in the newest trailer. So yeah, it's bunk according to that EW writer, complete fanfiction. Right now the only two people I believe in is him and Verendus. I'm still tempering my hype, but I think I'll find the film at least enjoyable.
I see people are doubling down on their negative opinions now that some positive feedback is coming out. I refuse to believe people are dense enough to think the film would be anything different Man of Steel's tone and they're in utter shock that the film continuing along that line. This movie is made for the fans and it shouldn't have been a surprise after all the trailers and teasers. The only trailer that was conflicted in tone was the second one, and that's because it was obviously edited to have a joke focus.
Total awareness is the sum of unaided and aided awareness. Those are pretty good numbers by the way. Certainly in comparison to ones I've seen from SPE on occasion.
