aliadiere29 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Batman v Superman wasn't made to make money? I'm sure WB doesn't feel the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With some of these guys it's hard to tell. They're either really, really, really committed to their irony or super crazy. Maybe it started out as irony and developed into something else, or vice versa 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If WB wanted it to be a huge commercial success they would use some CBM formula to make it more appealing and easy for audiences to digest. If you watch the movie, you understand what I'm saying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathlife Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'm still confused. Yesterday, some folks were arguing forcefully that there's nothing like Easter Monday hence BvS number wasn't inflated. But I'm reading now that it was inflated due to the Eastwr holiday. Which is it exactly? Because it seems people are interpreting figures to fit their agendas. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just gotta make it through these dumb first weekday threads to get to next weekend and get our first real idea of how this will hold 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCKillswitch123 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 An art film. An experimental concept. A movie not designed to make money. Never forget these words of wisdom regarding FUCKING BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN DIRECTED BY FUCKING ZACK SNYDER. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F7's drop was 59.5% from full OW of 147.2m. If you remove the previews (for the sake of calculations) the drop from the true OW of 131m was 54.5%. Giving the same 54.5% drop to BVS's true OW of 138m, you get a weekend of 62.9m which is a 62% drop from full OW of BVS. So IMO 62% is the minimum BVS is going to fall and I won't consider it bad. I will gladly take 62-65%. EDIT: F7's drop was not 61.5% but 59.5%. Edited March 30, 2016 by a2knet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 The truth is big openers don't tend to hold to regular weekday patterns and we don't have enough big March openers for there to be good reference points here. People are going to keep mentioning Hunger Games and Furious 7 cuz that's all we've got but, as we all know, fanboy event movies tend to behave differently. Just gotta play this one by ear 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Like Deadpool is more an Art Film than BvS. That's how much of an art film BvS is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
