I thought the talk about Man of Steel leading up to this movie was bad but boy the internet from this point till Justice League is going to be a sight to behold.

I'm going to avoid this as much as possible , following this movie was really exhausting.The next one I'm going to watch without looking anything up then I might check the internet.

I doubt most movie critics follow box office.

 

Or even know each other.

 

So a conspiracy to lower BvS' domestic total is a stretch.

 

The cover-up begins.

Your last one was 154-159m OW and below 300m Dom with 1.9x. Which you said you stand by proudly.  It's etched in mind unfortunately.

And I still do. Hoping for even less, actually.

When I joined BOM back in 2005 I didn't see these kinds of members. It was way, way, different. lol

You and The Futurist are too much with these half-full/empty theaters. 

 

My theatre was less than half full, but it was a regular showing and they had a 3D showing about 40 minutes later, so I figure everyone went to that.

[tonytr87]

Huh? The talk surrounding Man of Steel was positive until reviews hit. There was no pre-reviews bad buzz. I for one was confident it'd be a winner based off of the trailers. 

[kayumanggi]

@#ED, that was actually the original article. The first "update" was for the previews.

[Chaz]

Anybody who says that the shooting had no effect on The Dark Knight Rises opening weekend...$30 million in straight midnight numbers and then only opening to $160m?

[ZattMurdock]

It doesn't deserve to beat the Hunger Games. I hope the numbers are so incredibad that Warner won't be able to fudge it above THG.

Then it's confirmed. Warner Bros is buying tickets to inflate the box office number.

As absurd as those claiming a conspiracy re: critics. 

[Subzero]

Just got out of another showing with 9 other family members this time, the theater was packed. There were a couple of sold-out. Compare to MOS, seem BvS is doing much better.

It could make $155M by Saturday and your response would be "WOM is toxic. It's going to make $0 Sunday. I stand by my prediction."

2ND UPDATE, noon: After beating all superhero Thursday night previews outside of The Dark Knight Rises, Warner Bros. Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice is poised to outstrip the opening for The Hunger Games ($152.5M) to become the highest pre-summer debut of all time with $157M-$170M. Forget aboutFurious 7‘s records — BvS is set to take the best March and Easter opening, as well as best opening day prior to May, which rival industry estimates have between $76M-$80M. Imax, RealD, 4DX are all drivers for BvS biz.

Time to calm down and not post THE SAME FUCKING SHIT every minute. This is a warning I am giving you now. We know how you feel. You have all the right to feel like that. But jesus christ, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

You think it's them? Lol.

 

 

 

 

It's us Nolanites, supporting our grand master executive producer.

[tonytr87]

Kind of funny how reviews have lowered expectations. 170mil OW would be good, but it's definitely disappointing when you compare to others in the genre.
