Rotten Tomato Representative Shocked At MAN OF STEEL Ratings & Calls MOS A Good Movie!

[A Marvel Fanboy]

I was just sleeping. Then I leaked on the DHD for some news. Then I was like "WTF" ...         

[HeyItsMoses]

Since Fathers Day is on Sunday, it's drop that day should be minimal. 

 

If we give MOS the same drop pattern as Green Lantern (-20% Saturday, -10% Sunday), we should get...

 

$62m Friday ($50m Estimate + $12m Walmart)

$50m Saturday

$45m Sunday

 

$157m Opening Weekend...

I think you can only take 50 for Friday since we don't know exactly how many Walmart tickets were sold.

Remember

[Eraserhead]

The reviews aren't even bad. They're just extremely mixed (yet still slightly more positive than negative).

 

Come to think of it, they actually mirror my own feelings on the film pretty well.

Ok, so...

 

$50m Friday

$40m Saturday

$36m Sunday

 

That's still $126m. Very Impressive!

[Jandrew]

To be fair, theres a lotttt of inflation here. My theater upped the prices on adult tickets 50 WHOLE CENTS! Thats an unfailr advantage I'd say.not.

It is HILARIOUS how off critics are with this film. 

 

It is.  I even lowered my expectations going into this tonight and I still think a rotten score is very surprising.

Some food for thought. 

 

Two films opened above $100m in June, and both grossed over $400m.

 

..think about it.

I'd laugh my ass off if this manages to overtake Iron Man 3 somehow.

I wonder Saturday might stay flat or increase. (maybe possibility of frontloaded?)

I've been saying it's gonna overtake Iron Man 3 for over a month now. 

 

I really want it to, and I can only hope it does.

That sounds like a sure bet to me. Could do a bit more if friday is higher.

Oh..and you forgot to add the 12 mill to the 126

 

We should be looking at a 140 mill OW

 

Looks like our MoS/IM3 will be interesting
