Here's a few updates from the Odeon cinemas from the UK for the 25th:

 

BFI IMAX with 498 seats at 8:30pm: https://gyazo.com/999bc04c069535472e9ca525e7829932

London Leicester Square with 1683 seats at 7:15pm: https://gyazo.com/3c69a656ce192abe4739cae55884771b

Liverpool ONE with 279 seats at 12:01am: https://gyazo.com/f2d71ce1bb94e64b060ff8fe07c20705

Manchester Printworks with 375 seats at 12:01am: https://gyazo.com/44ee94e7b1ef2e18a2413672485638b0

 

As I said, there's plenty that have nearly sellouts and there's quite a few that have only half sold out so far.... but I fully expect a lot of these sold tickets will be walk ins.

Are we gonna start on the whole DC v Marvel thing again? 

 

it's sad, isn't it?

That's not a fair comparison.

 

BVS tickets went on sale at 12PM in my timezone (7AM PST I think), and 1 hour later it was at #2 with 14% in the first update. 3 hours after the start, it was at #1 with 24%.

 

CW tickets went on sale at 9AM PST (2PM in my timezone) and the first update was 3 hours later, at #5 with 4%.

 

I think that's a more accurate comparison.

No doubt that BvS is destroying Cw and will continue to do so.

Why don't you all just wait for some tracking info to be out instead of trying to interpret extremely unreliable movieticket numbers.

BVS is now ahead of CW on MT again  and will probably stay there until its opening.

Saw that as well I'm really curious how many tickets it has sold so far

It's really impressive.

 

In the 9AM PST update, when Civil War completed 24 hours of pre-sales, it was at 7.7% vs 7.6% of BVS. This means in the first full 24 hours of pre-sales, CW sold 0.1% more tickets than BVS in the same period. And this is with BVS on its 11th day of pre-sales, with much demand burned on the first day.

 

There's no doubt CW will be another big hit for Marvel, this doesn't mean the movie is doing bad, it just means BVS is doing really fantastic in pre-sales. And it means WB did a terrific job with the marketing, unlike detractors have been saying for months. The movie does look great, and people are excited to watch it.

They really did you a pretty good job of marketing it, considering I didn't even like MoS. and I am excited for it and have hopes it will actually be pretty good. it's not really surprising that a huge blockbuster opening less than two weeks from now, is outselling a blockbuster that is opening two months from now though.

Me.

 

I re-watched Man Of Steel last night, and I can't believe that this masterpiece has haters.

 

It works in every single aspect, it presents a fresh origin for our Hero -which is a miracle, since it has already been shown so many times that the film could seem boring-, but this is far from happening here, Zack is really smart using flashbacks during projection, to go gradually introducing each piece of our hero's childhood in the narrative, which makes the movie never lose the pace. The film uses and abuses of religious references, which could be a problem if it was not properly inserted, fortunately, this does not occur here, each reference works within the narrative, presenting the hero as he was always represented in the CB: as the Savior. And what to talk about his characterization? Super Man never had a better representation in a film, Cavill is not a great actor, but he is perfect as Superman, Adams is also excellent as Lois, and the couple works. The big villain is not one-dimensional, he is three-dimensional, (Marvel could nevah), he has goals, and a real purpose, unfortunately, many of his ideals are contemporary. What can we say about the visual/effects? A spectacle, it looks like a film made with $500m, dramatic, tense, intense, and at some point: violent, but also extremely brave, how many movies from the other brand have the courage to show a Hero killing the villain? The film is a success in every aspect that we can expect from a SH movie, it rejuvenates the most known hero of the world. A +

You wrote a lot of things for nothing, all you have to say is: BVS at first day: 54% x CW: 8%, BVS after ONE week selling tickets still beating CW's first day of sales, even releasing a trailer with the 'super anticipated' new Spider Man, and all this just few days after BKB saying that pre sales for BVS are weak, that's what I call KARMA

No, it's not, my surprise here is that a 'super blockbuster' couldn't reach even 10% at first day of pre sales, my big surprise is that this movie peaked with lower numbers than some flops like Allegiant, my surprise is that it decreased from 21% with A2 to 8% now, both started the pre sales at same period, my surprise is that you still expecting $400m for this one

It's funny how some people complain about the flashbacks, when they are placed perfectly. The movie manages to tell once again Superman's origin story, that we already know, without making it boring. This is the "problem" haters point out in the movie that makes less sense.

 

About the visual effects, it also shocks me when haters say the battles are just a regular destruction porn, when in reality the battles are very original and Snyder created an unique style in this movie.

 

If you look at all the criticism this movie received, it's all like this. People don't like the fact that Snyder is a visionary and dared to make a movie that differs from the regular superhero movie formula.

I don't see this unique style. Superman vs Faora and the end battle were pure destruction porn.

the most ironic thing is that this criticism comes from Marvel fans, where you can not even tell which battle belongs to each film because they're so similar, and let's not forget that the final battle of Avengers 1 is a complete rip off from the climax of Transformers 3, from the visionary director Michael Bay

[Mockingjay Raphael]

Of course, BKB, the movie is not doing good at your theater, so, it's obvious that it is going to be a disappointment

Oh, BKB, you're so funny, you say that BVS has little hype, and that it is being overhyped, still, it has bigger numbers than CW in every single aspect, but, for some reason, you still expecting CW to open above $225m+, while BVS, to open below these numbers, can you explain me your logical for this? Is CW doing insane numbers at your theater like SW7?

So Supes's plan to beat Zod is to collide the Phantom Drive on his birth ship with the one on Zod's ship so that they'll create a black hole and suck the Kryptonians back in. And apparently nobody thinks it might be a bad idea to create a black hole right next to Earth.

 

...Eh, it's not the worst comic book science I've ever seen.

Oh my god, the Supes vs World Engine fight is boring. Seriously, it may be the alcohol, but I'm half asleep here.

 

So while waiting for this bit of boredom to pass, I did a bit of drunk googling to try and explain why there seemed to be more focus on the military than on Superman in these last few scenes (I believe my exact search was 'Man of Steel so much military why?!'). Found this article explaining it. Interesting talk about the close link between the Pentagon and Hollywood when it comes to a lot of movies. Also explains why there's so much military porn in both this and the Transformers movies. Effectively, the Pentagon can lend out vehicles and aircraft for use in filming but only if the movie reaches their standards and is sufficiently positive in its portrayal. Kinda makes sense considering the amount of product placement already in MoS that they'd product place the military as well.

Zod: "Stop! If you destroy this ship, you destroy Krypton!"

 

Said exactly as said ship is literally in the process of flattening a city of innocent people. Truly, you are a master persuader, Zod.

 

Come to think about it, why didn't they just take the World Engine to another planet? You know, one without people likely to shoot at you for trying to kill them?

Aww, they're trying to be funny again. Would probably work better if they weren't standing in the middle of a fucking ruined city.

 

 

i did have a good chuckle

lol the most heroic thing i remember Superman doing was telling some guy to lock his door. Even then he ends up punching someone through the roof destroying the house.
