BvS is almost as bad as any third rate bollywood movie. After spending $250M if that is the best CGI they could come up with, it is way beyond pathetic. Screenplay is laughably bad.  All in all a forgettable mess. 

It's worse than most of our bad sci-fi action stuff because of the money spent on it. That entire climax action sequence with doomsday was awful. Nothing was clearly shot in that. I really don't know what was the team behind this movie smoking while making it. 3 years...and this is what we got. Garbage.

If Zack Snyder couldn't utilize the 250 million properly on this then how the fuck can we expect him to deliver on JL?

A good screenplay and even a decent director would go a long way in bringing some good movies from the DC universe.

Batman v Superman could have done very well if it wasn't boring as hell. The action scenes, the CGI, the storytelling are all worse than Man of Steel. Ugh. 

Batman action stuff is cool, but frankly Daredevil on Netflix has done thode hand to hand combat stuff much better. Don't know where all the money went.

 

Next big hollywood movie will be The Jungle Book.

 

How much in USD a good movie makes in India "boxofficewise"? $100 million?

Do you believe that The Jungle Book will have a good, better than average Hollywood movie, run there?

100 million is not possible in India. Even Bollywood movies don't do that because of lack of screens and piracy. Bulk of the population still cannot afford going to movies.

Generally speaking, a highly anticipated tentpole with popular character(s) or story that connects with the audience can gross 7+ million. If the movie is garbage or disliked then the movie won't last more than 2 weeks in theatre.

Highest grossing Hollywood movies in India are:

 

1. Fast 7 - 24.8 M

2. Avatar - 24.2 M

3. Jurassic world - 18.8M

4. Avengers Age of ultron - 16.8M

5. Spiderman 3 - 16.4M

6. 2012 - 15.6M

7. Amazing Spiderman - 14.5M

8. Amazing spiderman 2 - 13.6M

9. Life of Pi - 13.3M

10. Titanic - 12.7M

 

As you can see, Spiderman is the most popular superhero property in India and that's why those movies have done very well irrespective of quality.

 

Life of Pi was about an Indian kid and his survival. Moreover, they casted a local kid rather than Indian born in America so it connected with the audience.

 

Titanic because it was a universal love story on a ship and James Camerons films are popular.

 

Avatar was brilliantly marketed and had a universal story that connected with the audience. Again, James cameron film.

 

Fast is a very popular franchise because Indian teenagers love their cars and bikes. Hot girls+cool dudes+crazy action/stunts+kickass soundtrack+unfortunate circumstances (Paul walker's death) turned it into a must see film

 

2012 because of the cool myth surrounding it and people liked it a lot

 

Jurassic world because it was highly anticipated and all Jurassic movies are popular

 

The jungle book is a very popular story in India for obvious reasons. This should do well if it is good, but the marketing hasn't been as huge as it should and the lead kid has an American accent which might put off moviegoers. Still expecting at least 5 million gross.

Thanks. Can you estimate how large portion of the yearly box office gross comes from Hollywood movies? And if the Indian yearly box office is increasing/decreasing?

Any Jungle Book numbers?

It has opened very well in multiplexes. On par or better than BVS.  Since it is a family film and wom is great, it should comfortably beat BVS on opening weekend and total run. Infact, i am sure the evening shows on friday were much better than bvs, so it might beat the opening day numbers of bvs too.

It did somewhere between 9.76-10.09 crore on friday, which is the 3rd biggest opening day of a hollywood movie in India. Easily going to do 35 crore on weekend which is approx $5.26 million. Has a good shot at entering TOP 4 Hollywood blockbusters in India because wom is excellent.
