Since it already opened way bigger than they expected, I'm not sure they care that much, honestly.

Yes they do dude, these studio executives are some of the most greedy SOBs on the planet. To see it dropping hard will gtd Synder's departure, among other changes in MOS 2 I'm sure

Let's say it ends up making $290-300m. That's basically where everyone had it pegged (or higher). It doesn't particularly matter if it makes that off a $116m opening or an $80m opening. If anything, the fact it's frontloaded means the studio gets to keep an even-greater percentage than it otherwise would've.

I'll see how Man of Steel performs this weekend before I make any judgement of its legs. I suppose it was a risky time to release a reboot of Superman film.

so valid the point on Greater % also on here wasn't only place it was way back pegged around 300m anything from 260-350

To be fair, though, a 3.8 multiplier would make it far more likely the second one would see a respectable increase.

You're a BO guy. You think its hitting $300M?

MoS' OW was amazing, but the performance of the movie since then has been beyond terrible. And some people are still trying to argue: "Oh, but it has good WOM!". That's silly. The critics' reviews were right on the money, the movie is the definition of mediocrity and sub-par in every department not called action.

Hey I posted about WWZ!

[CJohn]

WWZ is quite good. Glad they changed the ending. This one was much better than the first one filmed.

Loved WWZ the funnest movie of the summer to me

[Lordmandeep]

WWZ was a entertaining film and an interesting addition to Zombie film genre.

 

It was like watching 2012 and Walking Dead at the same time. 

[Impact]

What is interesting is that people that hate zombie films seem to love WWZ.

[Lordmandeep]

WWZ is not gory it is more of a disaster pic and a thriller at the end..

 

Not very scary at all. 

[filmnerdjamie]

No gore whatsoever.

[Impact]

Well I still love BOM and still go to the IMDB quite a bit :PAnyway, hopefully I will see MU soon.

WWZ might actually be a fun film upon reading about it. I thought it was going to be another stupid zombie film (The only zombie film I like is Zombieland, unless if you include I am Legend)

Here is the attendance figures for DC movies, according to Mojo: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/franchises/chart/?view=main&id=dccomics.htm&sort=date&order=DESC&adjust_yr=1&p=.htm

 

9 Superman Returns WB 30,546,700     10 Man of Steel WB 26,458,200

 

 

Basically, MoS needs 4M more tickets to overtake Returns (as of yesterday). Quick calculation says the magic figure to overtake Returns is 241M which should be reached after this weekend.

Take ticket avg and applying it on films with grain of salt, so many factor that can influence individual titles, censor ratings (G vs PG vs R ),what formats etc and then if you try and assume 3d/imax etc increases to add(added to this is what % of BO is 3D and or Imax it might be 30% on one title and 60% on another and don't try and base it simply of OW)., but of cause if you have nothing else to go on.

 

thru this together  based on some other countries just because data is easier

I'm not sure if I got all of that but it looked really smart

Early Tuesday report:

 

Just got back from the theater, the place was bat shit crazy packed!

When I got there, they had lines cordoned off way out the door.

I went to see The Purge, sat next to a 6-7 year old boy and his 10 year old sister.

Perhaps they planned to go there, perhaps they went because MU was sold out.

(Their mom sat in the row behind us, I offered to switch, but she didn't want to. And the little kid was like "point your gun at that guy" all through the movie. He had no problem with it, he was having fun. Go figure)

 

My showing of The Purge was about 90% full, I had to sit down in the lower floor seats.

 

Anyways, for comparison, on Friday night this theater had 1 sellout for WWZ and 1 sellout for MU.

 

Tonight, on discount Tuesday, they had the following sellouts:

1 - F&F 6

2 - This Is The End

1 - NYSM

2 - WWZ

7 - Monsters U

 

And I left the place at about 9:30, there may be one or two additional sellouts later on. And like I said, even something like The Purge was 90% full.

 

Crazy busy tonight.

Can we still assume its somewhere in the ballpark? BOM says F6 has sold 28.7M tickets. Can we assume that its in the range of 26-30M? Or is that probably way off?

 

BOM says 29.5M for Oz. Obviously that's lower and below F6 with the 3D, but is it safe to say its above 24-25M? Or is it drastically wrong?
