Chewy Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 A director who makes one of these blockbusters will get a second chance as long as they're a white guy who doesn't commit career suicide on Twitter 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyGossamer Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I can't believe anyone's surprised at any of this... I mean, BvS is essentially performing as just about everyone thought. $155M to $170M OW and $350M to $400M DOM and roughly $1B WW. Wasn't that essentially what this boxoffice.com projected in their long term projections? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 So BvS will be at around 210M after Thursday. Going by the word of mouth and drops so far, it should get around 2.5x multiplier from its 2nd weekend (FF7 got 2.7x). That means it needs 56M+ to stay on track for 350M+. Let's see WED: 9M (-26%) THU: 8M (-11%) FRI: 18M (+125%) SAT: 24M (+33%) SUN: 15M (-38%) So 57M weekend..... for a 350-355M finish.... will finish below Deadpool! Overseas it is looking at 550M..... so 900M WW. Unacceptable (for me)! Should have been at least 1 Billion. Fuck Snyder! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never forget these words of wisdom regarding FUCKING BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN DIRECTED BY FUCKING ZACK SNYDER. 1 hour ago, Napoleon said: BVS is an experimental concept, so to an extent we can compare it to an Art film. 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.
