IM3 sucks. I am amazed it actually made more than $250 million.

$300 mill, yes. Where do you get the $9 million from?

When is the earliest we can get that Friday number?

It is a great move by Warner to have this 7PM showing.

IM3 did $15.6 million from Thu/Midnights

Folding 7PM Thu numbers into Friday gross is a little too creative for studios nowadays.. But tickets are tickets.

So should we LOL at these experts that proclaim this movie made money while the other lost money?

Theater/exhibitors getting 40%-50% of gross revenue by ...doing nothing? They already earn insane margin selling popcorn and people still buy that fattening stuff.

How much theater chain is getting from Weekend numbers? I heard studios getting larger share of first weekend gross than typical screening days. This share will drop as the movie plays into coming weeks. True?

You guys hear about Spielberg & Lucas bitching how American cinema will implode because studios only make big budget movies? True? Do American audience prefer to sit at home wait for movies on BluRay, VOD, HBO? There is nothing like watching movie with a large crowd, laughing, gasping, cheering with a room-shaking sound system.

When is the earliest we can get Friday numbers? Now it is 12PM Friday in SF...

How much those tickets cost relative to regular ones?

Walmart tickets are still tickets, right? Is it discounted?

Wow, the GA really trashed AE I thought it is a pretty good diversion NA audience just biased against Will Smith belief system or they just don't like Jaden? If Will stand up and walk around a little bit more, the movie may make bit more coin.

Well, I am expecting something closer to $260 million. The action is amazing but the story is bit lacking and there are way too many characters, villains do not make so much impression. So with those in mind, I am impressed this 13 year old franchise actually made the most money with sequel No. 5.

$300 million WW seems locked to me.

Dc vs Marvel throughout the years: The original 1978 SUPERMAN did more than $1 billion WW in adjusted dollars, phew!

Opens in Taiwan on the 13th. Any numbers yet?

There’s a lot of debate over how Man Of Steel will do at the United States box office. Most seem to be in agreement that the film will do over $100 million in its opening weekend, but the big question is if it will come close to or actually break any opening day or opening weekend records. If the Philippines are any indication, then Man of Steel should definitely be in for a good opening day box office. Man Of Steel opened in the Philippines on Wednesday to coordinate with their Independence Day. Man Of Steel had the biggest opening day in the Philippines in history bringing in P69.52-million (which translates into around $1.6 million U.S. dollars). It was enough to beat the previous opening day record of P62.9-million, which was held by Iron Man 3. In fact, Man Of Steel so dominated the box office on the Philippines holiday, it took in a 94% share of the total box office for the nation. Needless to say it was by far Warner Bros. biggest opening day box office ever in the Philippines. The Man Of Steel opens in the United States today with Walmart’s early screening premiere at 7 PM. A number of theaters will also be holding midnight screenings. However, the official opening day in the United States will be classified as Friday, June 14, 2013. http://comicbook.com/blog/2013/06/13/man-of-steel-breaks-opening-day-box-office-record-in-the-philippines/

This could outgross AE by a good margin. Will would run to Fox to get ID4 II going.

Yes please

It will hit $100 million eventually

Japan numbers are weak. Don't think so

I was hoping for more
