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

[kayumanggi]

I think it's not the RT score that DMan7 predicted. It's the opening day. lol

[ecstasy]

That's right combine those 2 together huge

 

Rth thanks!

[riczhang]

totally rndm, but I think that Gatsby could still make it to 150 million. It's got 11 million left to go and that's doable still I think.

Soooo....I just got back from MoS...and uh...wow. I posted on my twitter "two words to describe man of steel, "holy shit"! go see it! #manofsteel", and its gotten a few RT's and favorites so people agree! My theater room was PACKED. The most since Avengers. Even my 7 oclock showing of F6 didn't fill that many seats. I decided to go with my family. We got tickets like 45 minutes beforehand and then when It was time and we walked into the theater there was a huge ass line - all for MoS. We got in and I mean people were still pouring in 10 minutes into previews, speaking of, I got friggin' RIPD, AGAIN!. No PR. I'm so tired of that trailer. Anyway, yeah it was a packed house.

 

Im trying to give myself a minute to sink everything in, but that was incredible! People walking out were all smiles and they were IMITATING SUPERMAN! Yes GROWN ADULTS and everyone had a "mindblown" expression. My parents and brother, 15 y o, thought it started out slow, but once the action got started they liked it. They all said it was better than Iron Man 3. I tried to explain to them why it started slow, but they don't understand the dynamics of 1st acts.

 

Speaking of acts, this was about equal with Avengers IMO. Both 1st acts were slow and interesting when they wanted to be, but I'd give a slight edge to MoS. 2nd act was slight edge to Avengers, though the Smallville fight was way better than the Hellicarrier, but the 3rd act of MoS put TA to shame. I love tracking shots and I got plenty. Unlike many frenetic action films, it was actually not that hard to follow. Oh and I know some people say the "I think hes hot" line is corny, but my audience ate it up. But yeah, I'll have a review soon on my blog once I can sink everything in, but guys I was blown away.

 

I don't read the comics, but Snyder made it easy (for me at least) to understand the Superman mythos. The part that confused me was when

Lois is in Antarctica? or whatever and she finds Clark in the ship. How did Clark find it? I was so confused that whole scene.

other than that, it was gravy. This will have great WOM, trust. I'll post twitter reactions (all on one post as usual) if yall want. I thought the cast was great and Cavill is loveable, he seems pretty nice in real life too. I think Goyer, Nolan, AND Snyder all did a great job with this (maybe that's just me, but idgaf) and WB is great with marketing. That Friday # is going to make me cry with joy. But yeah, its an A from me! Better review soon! Ps, I didn't really notice any Avengers parellels, but I noticed some TDK ones, but I don't really care.

 

Also, I go ahead and say, if JL is like this, TA gross is toast. Bes' believe it. And I LOVE the soundtrack. It fits perfectly with every scene. Props to Hans Zimmer.

I was confused by that on my first viewing and it became clear on my second viewing.

 

When Clark is working at the bar - he overhears 2 military men saying they found what seems to be an alien vessel and the US army is there as well. He followed that hunch and turned out to be lucky

Good to hear you enjoyed it!

Comments on Facebook-people love it.

[Michael Gary Scott]

Told you WOM would be good

[Moviefanatic]

Ahhh I wanna see this so bad. I have to wait until tomorrow or Sunday though.

[narniadis]

So I am bothered by aspects of this movie - cant really put my finger on it, and it was sooooo long. Long doesn't bother just sat through cloud atlas last night and thought it was great. But I don't know, something seemed off for this film. I blame the script the most because the direction was great and the choreography of the final fight scene was outstanding but the movie lacked something that I can't put my finger on.

[Dragon]

. But yeah, its an A from me! Better review soon! Ps, I didn't really notice any Avengers parellels, but I noticed some TDK ones, but I don't really care.

If You LOVED it. I know I Will Tomorrow

Pacing maybe? I thought it was rather odd

Alright let's guess the cinemascore A+  A  A-?

B+

[druv10]

Back from my second viewing, liked it as much as the first time. WOM will be strong on it. It's a crowd pleaser to say the least. Holy hell, 50M+ without the previews we're looking at 140M+ with previews. Stunning start for MOS.

Best movie by far this year Man of steel, Nolan delivers yet again another masterpiece, its intence and gripping. A must watch movie.

WOM? It's only Friday. But I think it will be okay though. But it's kind of soon to say WOM is already good. Let the fanboy rush subside a bit.
