It's worth mentioning that BvS has the 8th highest adjusted OD right behind TDKr/New Moon & ahead of TDK (84.7/83.1/82/81.4). However there is an easy argument TDK sold more tickets.

 

 

I think once you adjust for everything (3D/IMAX/PLF), BvS opening day is probably lower than Dead Man's Chest's 8.5 million tickets. DMC was 13th on the adjusted list before BvS opened.

Cinemascore should be banned. As in you use it in an argument & your hand gets chopped off.

Wonder why Zack Snyder hasn't made a movie yet, that is as well-received as his best-received film, "Dawn of the Dead"?

Because he directed 300 a few years later which was a success and a semi-critical baby (and very entertaining -- not good -- but very entertaining). But it wasn't taken seriously enough (yes, I think Znyder wanted 300 to be regarded as a big, dark war drama), and thus he directed Watchmen. Watchmen wasn't a success and a critical darling, but for some reason WB keeps pushing him doing those dark and grim and boring CB-movies. Is it because of Nolan? Yes, probably. 
I think it would be very interesting to see a comedy directed by him. If he did a romantic comedy it would be his best picture.

$67.2M intl FRI incl $20M China opening day for #BatmanvSuperman. $115.3M intl cume, $195.2M global. Great overseas start.

So that basically locks 400m+ for the WW OW.

[MrFanaticGuy34]

Anyone who thinks $82M OD for BvS, is a disappointing number........you don't need to see it that way. Don't feel sad about it.

 

Blockbusters that open over $80-90M OD, is still pretty good in my opinion.

 

Avengers 1 = $80M OD

Jurassic World = $81M OD

Batman Vs Superman = $82M OD

Avengers: Age of Ultron = $84M OD

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows = 91M OD

Star Wars: Force Awakens = $119M OD

 

Nothing disappointing at all.

Aaaaaaaand caught up!

If that's true then even THG OD could have sold more tickets.

What exactly is it?  They poll an entire theater of moviegoers on opening night, at maybe four or five different theaters around the country?  The only problem with that, really, would be that you're getting an audience that is very enthusiastic about seeing it.  I guess that's why the scores seem to almost always be a B or better.  

 

That honestly sounds to me like a more valid way to measure audience reaction than either RT audience score or IMDB user scores.  Those are self-selected participants who may or may not have seen the film they're rating and whose motivations for doing so cannot be known.  (Is there some way to restrict the same person from voting more than once?)  That kind of online poll is utterly without any statistical value, IMO.

 

Probably, the best way to do it would be to poll a larger number of theaters in more diverse geographical areas on the second or third weekend.

Not sure about that. THG made $10m in IMAX on opening weekend. Probably had a decent amount of PLF too. No 3D boost though.

There should be a poll somewhere on this forum where one can see whether the members here are happy, angry, sad or bored by its box office performance. reading all posts makes one confused.

True.

 

At least 300 did gives us something special.

 

A very popular scene that gave us a very popular meme that got very popular even to this day.

A ~65m finish for ALLEGIANT? Gives it a 2.24x multiplier.

DIVERGENT did 2.76x. INSURGENT did 2.49x. Now 2.24x.

So ASCENDANT will do ~2x [22m/44m]

300 is my favorite Snyder movie by a long shot. Why? I think I can just use that old cliche...

 

The Butler did it.
