Sunday/Wknd #'s, MU 23-24/82, WWZ 17-18/66, MoS 11.7-12.3/41.2, TITE 13, NYSM 7.8 BOM, RTH

[StarSaber]

For the people that still want to claim that MOS had an OW of 128 instead of 116, then the second weekend drop is going to be somewhere in the 67-68% range.

 

Pretty obvious now why WB counted it separately from the OW, and pretty obvious that it was not part of the "normal" box office take.

Last Sunday was heavily inflated by Father's day which may balance out the Walmart number a little. Still a bad drop but not quite that bad if last Sunday was normal.

We already know that Man of Steel had $170m worth of promotional tie ins. Those articles were posted several times in the MOS thread the few days before it was released.Which was last Friday. Please, do keep up, ladies.

It tops the product placement and promotional partnerships for a film but has nothing to do with the production budget.

All of that is not cash in the bank as those articles make it seem. They have spent a great deal on marketing some of that 170m such as product placement in the movie could be cash in the bank. A lot of it is partnerships like Jandrew said earlier Superman on Gillette razors etc. That's free marketing for WB but it has a value and that's counted in the 170m even though no cash exchanges hands.
