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

[dashrendar44]

To the people that woke up stupid today, this message is for you.

 

I can't even believe I am reading people SUBTRACTING the Walmart sales from gross on this movie?

 

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

 

Walmart comes to WB and tells them "we're going to give you $12 million dollars (chump change for this MULTI-BILLION dollar company) worth of tickets if you let us sell advance tickets for 7pm showings day before it opens".

 

Transaction completed.

 

WB has $12,000,000 that a company bought worth of tickets.

 

People in here are ASSUMMING ALL SHOWINGS FROM EVERY SINGLE ONE WALMART ADVANCE SCREENING were empty.

 

NOT A SINGLE HUMAN BEING ATTENDED these showings.

 

That means that WB has not yet "earned" those $12 million dollars. I mean, how could they!?

 

WB has to physically count every single person that went inside and sat in the theater to watch this advance screening.

 

For the fun of it, and to all smart people that will get what I am trying to say, watch this:

 

 

I'm going to purchase an IMAX 3D ticket myself (worth $16.00) for tonight (even though I already have a 3D) and NOT attend this showing.

 

WARNER BROTHERS should NOT count that $16.00 in its Friday's number because I didn't physically go and sat my a** in the theater!, right?

 

Just as walmart paid $12 million in fake money and no single human being went to see its advance screening....

 

 

WB should have sell 208M worth of tickets to that Mr Walmart just to beat Avengers OW no matter if Mr Walmart sold those tickets to real people.

Its 21 mill. Fucking deal with it.

I think a bunch of you are really underestimating Friday's potential. This thing is on a billion screens with a billion showtimes and summer is upon us. Riczhang's on the right track here: think high 20s/low 30s for Friday alone (not including midnights or sneaks).It has a solid chance of beating SR's 3-day OW on OD.

Agreed. I can just see $45m for the rest of the day.

 

Actually, I can dream a scenario where $50m happens. 

$55m, depending on how many drugs I take.

[FTF]

Its 21 mill. Fucking deal with it.

Dealing and loving it

[Jack Nevada]

Its 21 mill. Fucking deal with it.

If it only was that simple for these motherfuckers.

[Kvikk Lunsj]

Who cares what WB did, it was a smart move. Other movies studios will follow this idea. Thor II will try to strike up a deal with Target or some other retail. Same with Hunger Games 2 and The Hobbit 2.  Thursday previews imo should never count for Fridays gross since it is on Thursday. But things have changed that the way that is way it going to be.

[Fullbuster]

You're completely ridiculous guys, you seriously want to remove these 12m from Walmart?

These tickets have been bought, so they will be taken into account, life is so simple in the real world.

[ZattMurdock]

It'll clearly open precedent for inflated OW to other movies, even maybe with Thor at the end of the year. But who cares, an inflated OW doesn't mean legs anyway. 

[Noctis]

It's gonna do over $120m. 

[Lordmandeep]

Interesting previews for this are 21 million but people see 60 million lower opening then im3.

[Talkie]

Its 21 mill. Fucking deal with it.

 

I love seeing this place in meltdown mode. It's more entertaining than the movie itself. 

 

[DAR]

Counting up all the occurences of the world "Walmart" in this thread.

 

 

Walmart is to this thread as the word fuck is to Casino

[Lordmandeep]

Anyways with the preview boosts and fatherday I doubt it does 3x multiplier.

[RichWS]

Walmart is to this thread as the word fuck is to Casino

 

 

"No! No! No more Walmart talk!"

[druv10]

WB should have sell 208M worth of tickets to that Mr Walmart just to beat Avengers OW no matter if Mr Walmart sold those tickets to real people.

 

You've to move on. It has 21M in the bank, bitching about it isn't going to change that. 

[FTF]

Walmart is to this thread as the word fuck is to Casino

Walmartin right motherwalmarter!

[Kvikk Lunsj]

Interesting previews for this are 21 million but people see 60 million lower opening then im3.

That is because IM3 was the most hyped movie of the year. IM3 played during the school year. If IM3 would done this some of that are against  it would have been jumping with joy.

[Dragon]

whats wrng with 21 million

[#ED]

Note: Because the Wal-Mart shows occured exclusively on Thursday, Box Office Mojo will be recording those grosses on that day.-BOM

[Leyla]

Wallmart bought 12m worth of tickets to WB and less than half of Walmart people bought tickets for an actual MOS screening.

 

It is like a Now You See Me magic trick.

they will show it in the nysm sequel
