Yeah, what the hell is up with that? I was about to throw a fit yesterday. That was very disrespectful to our man.  

 

The claws were out, can't blame Tele really. He's a weary old man of course he'll cave

[#ED]

Despite reviews, next weekend could be Snyder's best 2nd weekend! There's literally no competition.

Last 24 hours have been fun but there's this ominous cloud hanging over the board, like all the fandoms are sharpening their knives and waiting for the first number

It's like that scene in Trading Places when all the stockbrokers stand around all quiet waiting for the reports.. and then all breaks loose.

 I didn't mention any number! I guess I jumped in in the middle of a thing, my bad

Oh yeah. You weren't the original guy I was talking to.

 

That's kind of stupid of me.

It could get really messy with polarizing reaction and decent box office numbers overall...

 

I think it will heavy losses on both sides. 

[WrathOfHan]

Downgraded my prediction to 175, might change it tomorrow.

 

Previews: 30M

OD: 55M

Saturday: 60M

Sunday: 40M

So much drama over a film that most likely isn't even worth so much commotion. Good grief.

 

I think we can all agree now that Man of Steel was the wrong movie upon which an entire cinematic universe could've been built on?

Your math is off. Thats 185m

[RichWS]

The mods attempting to hold the forum on Friday. 

 

[Lordmandeep]

Remember it is Good Friday and add on large numbers of previews.

 

The chances of a Saturday increase or even staying flat are quite low.

 

Fast 7 fell 12% from Friday Day Business as a comparison. 

[aliadiere29]

I have it at something like:

 

Previews at 32m

Friday at 60m

Saturday at 52m

Sunday at 42m

 

186m OW.

What's with all the talk about downgrading OW predicts? 

 

Anyway, I'll say 185M-190M around. Would be a very good start for this universe kickstarter. 

 

This thread/forum will be way more fun than the numbers though.

[boomboom234]

I'll still go bold 40 Previews

friday 65

saturday 55

sunday 35

 

195 OW

Anyone who says the reviews won't have any effect on the opening weekend is in denial. 

http://www.businessinsider.com/batman-v-superman-bad-reviews-box-office-2016-3

It's currently at 35% on RT, 29% with top critics.
 

All of my most trusted critics have weighed in by now. This was originally in my top 10 anticipated for 2016 but now I'm not going.

Way too many people have echoed the same problems I had with it after reading the summary that leaked. Way too many people have said it's incoherent and style over substance. I'll have fun watching the box office but I'm not contributing to it.

I was already on the fence as is, so I don't speak for most moviegoers but just a sidenote: the only other superhero movie that I didn't see in theaters (besides Fant4astic) was Green Lantern also due to bad reviews. And I think X-Men: First Class? I don't know what happened there though because I love that movie.
 

So yes the reviews can effect people who were planning on going if they ended up being good.

There's no way it increases or stays flat on Saturday. This is gonna be so front-loaded tomorrow night and Friday. 

[Lordmandeep]

2nd weekend drop is min 60%. 

 

The much better received and buzzed film Fast 7 faced that after Easter.

Cant recall a non YA film with as much frontloaded presales as this film.
