It's a great number.

 

Dont know why people are saying $175m though, look at TDKR multiplier from midnights. Then Easter weekend multipliers are typically 2-2.15x. $140-160m. Unless it over performs the rest of the weekend. Such a good start. 

 

I don't think TDKR is a good comp -- it was the dead of summer and the shooting made Friday evening and Saturday fall off a cliff.

 

It's a pretty solid number. Not mind-blowing or out-of-this-world, but impressive nonetheless. Looks like LA over-performed slightly, compared to the rest of the country.

 

I also don't think it's gonna have the absolutely toxic legs some of you are advocating, but we'll see.

[Lordmandeep]

I think this is on track for 160 + for certain and on high end could track towards IM3.

 

 

I see 

 

83 million ( Good Friday boost 

50 million Saturday (83-27.6- 10% from Friday day business) 

39 Sunday -22%

 

172 million

 

I also see this as sort of a best case as well. 

[Ohana]

That's a really great numbers

The haters here will spill toxic on everything that's positive about BvS

WB is back on the $$$

It will not, it will be almost the exact same as MOS wom wise, I suspect, but without insane competition.

Someone is going to have to explain to me how this is not a good number. You do realize the first Avengers opened up to 18 million in previews right? How is this anything but a good number? This means the opening weekend to go anywhere from 150 to 225 million. I think you guys were expecting way too much if you really think this is a bad number.

 

 

Marvel fans logic:

"If this doesn't do at least 25 million in previews, it's a flop"

*film does 27 million in previews*

"Bah! That is way too small a number for the hype! It's a flop!"

WTF?? You should never use TDKR as a comparison for front loading unless you expect tradgety to tinge the returns for BvS as well.... Stupid thinking seriously. 

 

And thats a fine number for preview 170 should happen

I didn't realize that Justice League is releasing next year. I thought it was out in 2018.

IMO you can't use TDKR as a comparison due to the shooting.

 

Without shooting, TDKR ends up around 175-180 for the weekend. Let's call it 177/30.6 = 5.78 multiplier from midnight. BvS 27.7 x 5.78 = $160m. CJohn is right. We're basically looking at a TDKR weekend total (160ish) and probably a Spidey 3 domestic total (335-340). 

[VGPOP]

Fantastic start.

The reviews def. hindered previews I suspect, expect a b

Great numbers also for Greek wedding.

Or at least as good as can be expected. It's on route to make around $40-45M total, which is still one heck of a steep drop-off, but they really couldn't have expected much better when this would've fallen by more than 50% from the original even if it had come 2 years after the original instead of 14.

[RichWS]

Let's say 27.7 makes up 35% of the total Friday gross? (Ultron's Thursday gross repesented 32.7% of the total Friday). That would give you 79 today and a true Friday of 51.3. Give it a 10% drop from the true Friday tomorrow, which gives you 46.2 on Saturday. A 25% drop on Sunday gives it 34.6 and a grand total of 159.8 million. I'm being very general with the Sat and Sun drops. It might hold a bit better, might hold worse. Bottom line is I'd say it's headed straight for 160.

[picores]

History is there, never bet against the fucking Batman.

[MCKillswitch123]

That's a pretty damn good number. A bit inflated thanks to the hour early start, sure, but it is very good that it's doing Ultron type numbers anyway. 160M+ locked, I'd say.

I agree, generally. The real question is how big it can get today. I think Sunday's drop will be over 25%, so I think it needs to push 85m or more to go over 170m. But with a lot of expectation and the two famous characters, a partial holiday, and 4200+ theaters, it certainly has the potential to go over 55m for the day.

[baumer]

How the hell are you guys saying that this is going to be more front-loaded than Age of Ultron? That was a movie that was coming off the biggest opening weekend of all time. Your logic is completely f***** up. I don't understand you guys anymore. It's like there's a collective Mafia mass of mob like attitude here that as soon as someone doesn't like something everybody else has to pile on it. I seriously don't get this site sometimes. I came for the number I was looking for I'm out of here. I'll check back in to see the Friday numbers but I'm not talking to you doofuses anymore this weekend lol enjoy the Bloodbath.

[aliadiere29]

People are only saying it's not a good number because it's Batman v Superman. Roughly 28m is a great number. It should get at least 170m with that preview number.

[excel1]

I am just going to shut up with predictions for this film performs from here on out.
