Lol Kal El got me banned from BOM back in 2007 ...

 

Lol but he was still a legend infamous one.

He is weak to kryptonite.

It'll be around 18-20% including midnights and probably over 30% including sneaks.

$50 (12 + 9 + 29) + $35 + $30 = $115m ow...would be awesome and sounds good to me. Edited June 14, 2013 by FTF

I posted a reply to Kal, but it didn't show up. I wonder if there's a block on links to other sites.

I'm thinking the exact same numbers for Sat and Sun.

If Kal were to come over and with BKB it would be the closest the movies would ever get to a Marvel/DC crossover film

[Cmasterclay]

What really made Kal so special for me was the ranges that he posted (one of the funnest things to mock on BOM), and his "exuberant" life outside the board, which included driving a Lexus and having a connect to a movie box office expert codenamed "Dean." God, I miss that guy. BOM wasn't quite as fun without him.

A Walmart in NYC would destroy all local businesses.

who cares, as long as you guys can get goods at better prices ...

[RyneOh1040]

Speaking of biased data, you realise that MOS Thursday tickets were "sold" differently than every other movie ever, right? Right? Isn't that why WB themselves chose to report the numbers separately?

 

If ever there was a number that needed to be separated, this is it.

If I go to a movie on a Friday night that sells out a 200 seat theater and on that same night a corporation rents out a 200 seat theater for their employees and only 10 people show up, that movie made the same amount from each of its two theaters.  Who cares HOW the money is made, the fact is it's made.  We could pick apart those revenue streams all we want but at its core that's not what box office data measures.  It measures dollar in take.

 

Could it be a bit of a game changer, sure.  But bottom line is the same dollars are made.  

[ecstasy]

excuses, excuses, lol

Nah I'm at work.  So I'm posting in between real life stuff, lol.

This thread has slowed down a lot

If I can I will always support the local business before the big business.

Box Office Report: Friday Returns Show 'Man of Steel' Soaring to $125 Million-Plus Debut

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-report-friday-returns-569256

 

 

Can Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures' much-anticipated Man of Steel cross $125 million in its North American debut, the second-best opening of summer 2013 to date?

 

Man of Steel should earn $45 million to $46 million on Friday, including the $9 million in midnight earnings (the $12 million will be folded into the weekend gross).

Earlier this summer, Iron Man 3 debuted to $174.1 million, benefiting from being the threequel in an incredibly proper brand.

Who knows?? This whole thing is gonna be confusing as hell by Sunday night..

 

To me there is nothing confusing.  MOS has made 21 million so far.  If WB has chosen to separate the 12 mill from the rest of the early money, that is their prerogative, but the way I see it this film has made 21 mill from early shows.  It's not doing anything different that every other film post TDKR shooting.  I'm not sure why there is such a fuss over this now.  Don't hate the player hate the game.  Tickets sold is money in WB's bank account.  

[holcs]

Kal was a super troll-but at least for me to the point it got annoying-kind of like ijack.  He'd always be saying the same thing-but I guess he was just fun to laugh at because he really believed and defended his completely BS predictions.  BKB and him would have some zod-superman type battles on here

[Sims]

Someone tell me why my posts on HSX aren't showing up

 

UGH, nevermind, my account isn't "enabled" to post on their forums

I wish Kal was here for this movie's run. It is bound to be a much better run than Superman Returns had, so it would be cool to see him here for it.

[Impact]

Okay I'm not seeing this till Monday-so I'm trying not to read the daily threads-but great numbers it seems!
