Warner Bros. Pictures and Roadshow Films is delighted to report that BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE opened #1 at the Australian box office this Thursday, taking over $3.3 million on its opening day.

The blockbuster superhero clash, starring Ben Affleck as Batman/Bruce Wayne and Henry Cavill as Superman/Clark Kent, has quickly surpassed recent box office hit DEADPOOL ($2.944 million) to become the biggest opening day in 2016. The film has also overtaken the opening day figures of 2015’s THE AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON ($2.949 million) and JURASSIC WORLD ($2.735 million).

 

I take it that's great for BvS in Australia? So would it be aiming for 30m+ around Ultron's gross?

The article says north of 30 so higher than ultron so yeah its pretty good i thinl

[The Stingray]

Tele "enjoyed it" and Numbers gave it a B+.

 

 

On the other hand CJohn gave it 9.5/10, which is a cause for alarm...

On average the Domestic gross in USD is 10 times the Aussie gross in AUD.  However, that is the total gross and not the opening weekend.  Also, we have a 4 day opening weekend whereas Domestic is now 3.5 days.

 

Comic book films also have traditionally under-performed in Australia relative to Domestic.  However, over the last few year they've tendered to be fairly equal. 

 

BvS had an opening day of AUD3.4m.  That leads to an OW of around AUD13-14.5. This suggests a Domestic opening of $145-170m.

It's a solid 8/10 for me right now, thinking it might go up on second viewing (avoid 3D by the way !). I think the ultimate cut could take it up to 9, 9.5, there seems to be a lot of character stuff in there, more action too according to Snyder.

Per that logic Age of ultron and jw would have had those OW

BVS's Presales to OD and OD to OW ratio is going to be higher than AOU. It's going to be more front-loaded over the Easter OW so I hope it can match AOU'S OD (84.4M). It will need that to do 170M+.

 

AOU's Sunday drop was just 11% (50M Sunday after a 56M Saturday)! So if BVS match's AOU's OD (for which it will need higher previews than AOU), it will lag a little on Saturday (~5M) and a lot on Sunday (~14M).

 

84.4 (27.6 + 56.8) + 56.5 + 50.3 = 191.2

84.4 (29 + 55.4) + 50.1 + 36.5 = 171

Already down at 7,7 on IMDB just after the previews...

 

 

Fire is catching.

 

Audience Score on RT is the lowest Ive seen for an atticipated big budget comic book movie on the day of release.

Still no numbers?

For DEADPOOL the number's from media came around 9:30 AM PST. So about 2 hours to go for media to report them.

RTH gives us numbers before all the other sources, so yes, he hath smited us

10 and 1030 am for this on Good Friday is 50% full.

 

Its great but Fast 7 as selling out everything in comparison but it was on less screens. 

[Noctis]

Yea, ludicrous. 

[incognitoo]

nine hours away, plus 17 pages. that's ok, I guess. Onward, to battle, to reading.

[jj99]

@Rth Never gives us preview numbers. thats his policy.

 

If you promise nudes, he might make an exception.

[VGPOP]

It is already 2:30pm in most parts of Europe and no Thursdays numbers.

[CJohn]

7 hours have passed but somehow everything is still exactly as I left it.

In $AUD AOU opened to ~ $17m  w/e and JW$ 16m.  FF7 opened to 14.5. Deadpool to $14.84

Approx an 11 AUS to US ratio for AOU, 13 for JW,  and 10 for FF7 and 9 for DP

 

If BvS does $13-14.5m then  with the following ratios:

 

DP: $117 - $130.5

FF7: $130-145m

AOU: $143-$159m

JW:  $169-188.5m

Going with 28 million previews, 84 million opening day

 

175 million weekend to around 385-390 million. 

 

 

Still audience reaction is not as good as people claim on here based on flixter and IMDB but...it is Superman vs Batman so boxoffice will be large.
