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

[Lordmandeep]

Too early bit it should stay flat at the least

[Heretic]

Saturday in the UK even bigger than OD, with $6.8-7m according to RTH, and possible $17m+ opening. Insane.

[druv10]

Rth saying Saturday in UK looking at 4.3M+ pounds. It's looking at 10-11M Pound opening, stunning start.

[efialtes76]

Huge marketing and amazing trailers are helping more...

[Lordmandeep]

lol, no one here knows who Henry Cavil is either. People don't just go to movies because the lead is the same nationality. It was the marketing, presumably.

This is going to explode overseas. Just watch.

with a low multiplier when ppl find out its just

monotonous action with a terrible script

hi all those users u post..every single one are fanboys. the critics are not and as a result i trust them more.

 

10/10 marketing and well cut trailers + superman or nolan fanboys = large openings

 

but the actual quality re above, will result in large 2nd weekend drops.

I think one thing to remember this film was very buzzed and hype and will get a huge opening.

Detailed CinemaScore breakdown from Deadline

 

”Our CinemaScore of ‘A-’ with the youngest (under 18) and the oldest (over 50) age categories both rating the film an ‘A’ should certainly generate strong word of mouth as we continue our run in the heart of the lucrative summer play time.”

after earth had a B cinemascore. nuff said about cinemascore

 

key factors being the 1) mkting 2) fanboys vs 3)actual quality of film as seen from critics. they are not imagining things, nor are many people(non-fanboys) who have commented on this same:

 

Man of Steel offers nothing but torturous exposition, heavy-handed symbolism, criminally ill-used actors and a numbing finale that would be right at home in a Transformers sequel. It's one massive superbore.

How large... From you I'd expect a number that would mean a 70%+ drop... heck a 80% one.

 

I won't drop that much. Deal with it. General audience loves it. No ones gives a shit about critics, apart from haters...
