nice to see MoS doing so well in the states.

 

merely doing decent business here in Taiwan; compared to IM3 and FF6, it's just a standard summer Hollywood flick, not a blockbuster.

will be watching it in 3 days.

Awesome!!!!

'Sup guys. What's goin on?

MOS 36-36.5m

[rickfox]

So $56m Fri, $36m Sat, and $36m Sunday? 

 

$128m opening weekend?

 

Yeah, $400m is happening.

 

perhapse a bit early to say that

[ACCA]

Incredible Sunday increase for MOS! WOM is definitely strong for this film, at least domestically. It should be strong overseas too.

It's not locked, but it's possible with so many repeat viewings.

[Mattrek]

Holy shit MoS actually has the possibility of increasing? WOM must already be effecting it. Bodes well for great legs

[ACCA]

Already planning a 2nd viewing of MOS in the next few days. The action alone deserves a repeat viewing.

Actually make that a nein. It looked awful on the second time through. 

 

LOL. It's a terrific trailer

Is the action bigger or better than the Avengers?

[ACCA]

The action is easily bigger and better than The Avengers. By far.

Its cooler, but Avengers looks more crisp.

[The Stingray]

Like better CG or?

Yeah that. And this coincides well with the Spielburg article earlier. Big spectacle = big bucks, because of repeat viewings. I haven't seen IM3, so I don't know if this is true, but the action looked pretty generic and been there done that. That's why it didn't get very many repeat viewings. That's only a theory though. Side note: Page 250!

[Ozymandias]

Its just better, and not because it was bigger.  The best action scene in the movie for me was

Superman vs. Zod's evil lady.

 

Beautifully shot.

Action is incredible with the sheer scale of it all, but I agree The Avengers action felt better paced and more organized. When it comes to action though this movie is a whole nother level.

Careful of the spoilers for those that haven't seen it.

Personally, Iron Man 3 had a lot of problems, not just action. As an Iron Man fan, yes Iron Man 3 sadly did lack in terms of appropriate action, especially the final battle given the amount of firepower involved.

 

For Man of Steel, it has tons of big spectacle, but aside from that, it's also a good movie. That helps a lot. Granted, even crappy films with big spectacle sometimes make decent money at the box office.
