As much as I hate to say it, the hype for JW matched A1. I think it was underestimated because of the subpar performances of the other JP sequels and assumption the modern GA doesn't care about dinosaurs.

I disagree. JW came out of nowhere. At least with Avengers we had signs that it was going to out open HP8.

Pay a visit to the China thread and you'll know why. BvS has terrible internal multiplier and review plus 4 local movies will open next week.

I can visit China itself and we will still don't know how it will do.

 

The future hasnt happened yet...lol

Why would it struggle? We don't know how the movie will play out.

 

We can speculate, but none of us know how it "will" do because it hasn't happened yet.

 

Go to the China section and you'll see discussion on it, it's OD, it's muted Saturday bump, it's lowered pre-sales and it's poor audience ratings. 

 

China is a very fast WOM country, it also has a lot of local product that gets preferential treatment so if a foreign film isn't doing as well as expect it will loose a huge % of it's screens within the first week to local films or new openers.  You an often gauge how it will react in the first couple of days.  It's a market that can be extraordinarily leggy - see Zootopia (opening day was about $3.5m and it will make over $200m) or extremely front loaded - Spectre had a 1.9 multiplier.  Opened to $44.5m w/e and finished with $83.5m

Sunday Est:

BVS :97.5m/372m($57M) Biggset OW for WB

Zootopia: 42.5M/1298M

Rerenant:14.3M/332M

 

BVS marks Biggset OW for WB, previous record held by Hobbit 3(312M yuan). Sunday drop is 33%.

I think 600M yuan is not dead yet, and 100M USD is also doable if it doesn't get slaughtered the coming weekend.

 

Zootopia's last day will be Sunday April 3rd, April 4th is a national holiday, sadly it will miss it.

If Civil War has good word of mouth and better reviews than Batman v Superman..... but makes less at the box office, will it be classed as a disappointment?

[excel1]

After 3 viewings,

I don't see what separates this from Batman Begins quality wise, like, at all. Except the fight scenes are 100x better here. BB had a quaisi slow act 1 and very slow act 2 followed by a night of non stop action in act 3.

I am tempted to think geek fanboys and geek critics choose to look the other way because they knew Nolan was 'one of them' whereas with Snyder...he is a glorified special effects supervisor so they look extra hard for issues.

Another reason he has to go, fair or not.

outside of the obnoxious knightmare/Flash scene,

and minor editing issues in the beginning...

ANT-MAN was clearly more entertaining to the General Audience than BvsS was..

 

[Stringer Bell Theory]

I finally saw BvS yesterday. There were things I really liked but I was mostly just bored. Some things were beyond ridiculous but my biggest problem was that it is boring. I don't get people who hate the film but really don't get people who love it either.

Of course the future hasnt happened yet. BvS still has a chance to make $1B DOM but it's highly unlikely, isn't it?

Exactly "highly unlikely". He wrote that it "will" happen. Like there is no chance whatsoever that movie will gross more than $105 million.

Well, Ant Man is a franchise.

I thought it would be a one shot affair.

[Cookson]

BvS will do fine overall. It'll make it to 300m+ domestically and do enough overseas to get it to a billion+ I think.

No, she wrote

Ant-Man did $105m last year.  Ant-Man.  BvS will struggle to reach that number.

At least you've realized why those of us who didn't enjoy it, didn't enjoy it.

he said "will struggle", it's different.

[baumer]

I could never read as deep into The Cook the Thief His Wife and Her Lover the way Roger Ebert did but I enjoyed that movie and mentally none the less. And I saw that film when I was around 17 years old and liked it then. I like it even more when I saw it as an adult. @La Binoche
