REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)

[grim22]

Watched MoS at midnight again last night and loved it just as much. 

 

Anyway, Nikki has updates: http://www.deadline.com/2013/06/man-of-steel-beginning-worldwide-release-record-opening-day-in-the-philippines/

 

My sources have now increased their estimates to $51M Friday, $124.4M for the three-day weekend, and $134.4M for the four-day cume through Sunday. The only other movie in the North American marketplace in wide release, Sony/Columbia Pictures’ This Is The End (3,055 theaters) which opened Wednesday as a counter-programming apocalyptic comedy is looking like $8M for Friday, $20.8M for the 3-day weekend, and $33.1M for the 5-day cume.

Keeps going up. First it was 42, then 47, now 51. Maybe it might. West Coast must be doing really well.

 

This is amazing for a reboot.

[Sims]

MU and WWZ look sorta fucked right now...

[ALayrisson]

Wow, that is awesome. Keep it climbing west coast!

[Jonwo]

It is safe to say that a DC film universe is all but certain now?

[ecstasy]

Toldja this was gonna do 50+ for Friday.

 

I really hope that holds lol. 

[Eraserhead]

Even though I had a lot of problems with the movie, I'm so glad Superman is back up there with the big dogs where he belongs!

 

We will be getting our Justice League movie now, guys. No doubt about it.

The weekend trip I was supposed to be on got cancelled due to bad weather on the coast, at least the MoS numbers did not disappoint.

 

Also, if it can climb a bit more in Friday estimates, the Friday number may be greater than Green Lantern's opening weekend. Too early to make a call though. 

[Ball Lightning]

Fantastic number so far!

Expect announcements at Comic Con next month during the panel.

Yes, I'd say it's a done deal.
