They count just as much as Regular 7PM - 10PM previews.

It’s also the all-time highest superhero late show record, surpassing The Avengers’ remarkable $18.7M and The Dark Knight‘s$18.5M. Of course, any such record must come with an asterisk because recently Hollywood studios have interpreted ‘midnights’ as beginning at 7 PM Thursday and sometimes continuing throughout the night into early dawn. So that stops any movie-to-movie direct comparison of late show grosses. She's clearly trolling right here.

So wait, people are saying 12M shouldn't count now? Tell that to every movie since TDKR that counted previews to the OW. Now we bitch.

Combined with $12M from a corporate group sale screening program at 7 PM, this third Superman franchise begins its North American run with a cume of $21M. “Off to a flying start!!!” A studio exec gushed to me just now. More Walmart Numbers.

lol wtfuk? Since when was 9M bad? It's the highest midnight grosser after IM3...

FRIDAY 7 AM UPDATE: Not even torrential downpours in NYC could dampen enthusiastic crowds forming long lines for Thursday late shows. Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures just announced its hotly anticipated Man Of Steel opened with a midnight show of $9 million. Combined with $12M from a corporate group sale screening program at 7 PM, this third Superman franchise begins its North American run with a cume of $21M. “Off to a flying start!!!” A studio exec gushed to me just now.

Pros:The action was amazing. By far the best I have seen from any blockbuster.Superman's origin story was great.Cons:It felt like some of The movie was cut out. Rushed production.With that cast, this movie had so many possibilities at Oscars.B+8.5/10
