BATMAN V SUPERMAN WEEKEND THREAD | 166.01M OW, New March OW Record. 420.4M WW OW.

[SWXII]

First and second acts get an A+. Third act an A-. Overall A+.

 

Will add a review in that section tonight because I need to.

 

Question first. Seriously, at what point to Affleck learn his craft? Which movie? I have not followed his career but holy Oscar performance batman, that is easily the best depiction of batman yet. EXCELLENT. 

[Krissykins]

Just got back from second viewing, IMAX 2D and enjoyed it even more. The 2.5 hours flew by. Picked up on so many things I missed first time. 

 

That worldwide total is an excellent start!!!

[GiantCALBears]

@Noctis we all know how thrilled you will be if this unadjusted fails to beat potter 8. It's looking like a good sweat.

Ben has always been a very good actor, watch Jersey Girl or Chasing Amy (I'm serious, and I love Kevin Smith) for example, I think directing too helped him get even better, in fact, some of his best performances are in movies he directed: Argo and The Town (especially The Town).

Affleck winning a Supporting Actor Oscar for BvS would result in a repeat of my reaction to this past year's Supporting Actor winner but much much worse

 

Good thing he has no chance lol

He has a better chance than Ryan Reynolds winning an Oscar for best actor in Deadpool, wouldn't you say?

I am going to check out The Town. I avoided his films due to some earlier work he did. Perhaps that was a mistake.

 

People should see BvS. Loved the tone of the first two acts. Best since TDK. IMO.

Ummmm.... Yeah... I would fucking riot.

[TimmyRiggins]

I think that seeing BvS, maybe THe Town after will alter your perception of him, making you see retroactively the rest of his work differently. It's kinda like when you see an actor in an amazing role and go "jesus, where did that come from?" when you've seen the guy in other films and never noticed, and it makes seeing those other films a completely different and much more enjoyable experience.

I am greatly looking forward to the full film. Missed many details on first viewing. And shed a tear for Lois.

 

I am sentimental like that.

Well, @nilephelan said that it's supposed to be $80m, not $82m. I've seen estimatives going down like he predicted enough to believe he does have some inside info.

 

With that said, $82m would mean a $54,3m Friday for BvS. Fast 7 had a $51,6m Friday, with $15,8m previews. If it's $80m and WB fudge it, BvS was awfully close to F7's Friday, what shows in my opinion that the effects of the negative buzz is already in effect. I expect it to get even worse this Saturday and Sunday.

 

Previews: $27.7m

Friday: $54.3m

Saturday: $47m

Sunday: $31m

 

$160m OW

Considering I love both Man of Steel and Batman VS Superman, I need to see Snyder's other films for sure.

If you like those two I think you'll enjoy watchmen. Big chunks of BvS  had a very similar mood as watchmen IMO

They both have no shots at Oscars. Reynolds I could see getting a Golden Globe nom maybe

oh well that was a variety of factors both related to my inability to see the movie and ridiculous aspects in my personal life related to that movie so ha

[filmlover]

Ryan Reynolds has a much better shot at getting at an Oscar nomination for Deadpool than Ben Affleck does for Batman v Superman and Reynolds' chances are 0.01% (a Golden Globe nomination in Musical/Comedy Actor isn't impossible but that all depends on competition).

Reynolds will never get a golden globe nod after saying that he'd describe his penis in a 1,000 words or less to the Hollywood Foreign Press lol

Unlikely, in China it's collapsing plus good Friday. My guess 420M.

 

Why do people say it's collapsing in China? Because its Saturday only increased 20% from its opening day? I mean, opening days haves the tendency to be inflated...

[WrathOfHan]

Deadpool will be this year's Hangover at the Globes
