I'm positive WB expected, or at least hoped.

Sad for them.  Nobody goes out and tries to make a bad film with the exception of a few parody ones but WB knew what they were getting into from the atrocity that was Man of Steel.  I think they tried but they needed something fresh and well versed: trying to copy the Avengers wasn't it.

True. In speciality box office, it's weird Eye in the Sky is doing so well; I legitimately had no idea of its existence until a couple days ago. Good for it 

 

Hopefully Midnight Special's expansion goes well. I kinda want to a double of Everybody Wants Some and another indie movie next week.

Eye in the Sky is terrific. Reviews are great and the movie is a WOM hit. I saw it last Monday.

If BvS passed 1B ppl like you would set another bar saying "Oh, it didn't pass 2B - it's a flop"
 

 

That is the most ridiculous thing I've read in a while. I'm not sure how deep your denial is, but it's fucking ugly.

Please, report something if you feel it is worth it. And I say this to every member. 

 

If you guys see anything that is poisoning the well just report it. It will be easier for us.

Is WB lying when they said 750 is break even ?

Provide a source and a link otherwise you're just making up numbers to fit your narrative. In fact I know it's such because WB has never even put out a number. No studio does that. However its been stated numerous times by various sources that this movie needs to at least make $900M WW some even saying $1B to make a profit from its theatrical run. And even if $750M is the break even point, WB would make $100M-$120M off of this. I'm sure that's what they were expecting when they spent all this money on production and marketing.

If BvS passed 1b, it would have been at the very least a moderate success. But it didn't, which is why we are discussing it's disappointment.

 

Suggesting we would consider 2b, a bar only 3 films have ever passed, to be a benchmark of success, is ludicrous. In fact, I now feel stupider for having retyped your suggestion. Thank you.

Well, it has a shot at $14 million.

And its legs can still extend more.

 

I know,  but as was expecting 16M after several poster said this was going to end there after first estimates.

Monday.

Eye in the Sky really benefited from going wide last weekend. Hell, WB should have tried releasing Midnight Special wide then.

Some people pointed out that a sub 30% drop is never a bad thing, especially on a 6th weekend.

Midnight Special was DOA. Eye in the Sky is a WOM hit. Dame Helen Mirren slaying. Plus all hail Alan Rickman.

Since when a sub 2.0 multiplier is anything but Toxic WOM? TDK and TDKR are both way darker than BvS + summer weekdays and they still pull 3.37x and 2.79x multiplier.

And some of you seriously take passing a $58M budget movie and a C-list Marvel movie as achievements?

BvS has 2 out 3 most popular superheroes on Earth and its trailers views are second only to Star Wars VII.

More moderation:

 

It's pants pissing time.  You guys have been warned over and over and over again.  You have no idea how not cool this shit is to keep going at it all the time.  This DC/Marvel stuff is over.  And if it's not, then we're just bringing out Lucille and banning you for 24 hours.  When we send people to warn you, you kill that.  When we send more people to warn you about that last warning, you kill that too.  So here's how it's going to be.  The next time this stuff gets going again, we're cracking skulls.  You can breathe, you can blink, you can cry.  But you will be banned for 24 hours.

 

This is the weekend numbers thread.  If you want to talk about how bad the drop is for BvS, have at her....but the other shit goes in the appropriate threads.

 

While I hope users got this reference (and you nailed it) why do people have to keep reminding me of this episode.....

Was letdown for days and it's a long wait from here.

ZOOTOPIA can leave the theaters now and still be a huge success.

I was ofc exaggerating with the 2B to make my point how far some ppl will go here to make their argument win
But they would invent another number just to trash it.

Thread is pure comedy.

Next weekend is going to be the real test IMO. Even if both Jungle Book and Zootopia are Disney one is bound to affect the other.

You could also say that about Frozen after its 6th weekend.

Please. I love both DC and Marvel, but BvS achieved nothing positive regarding BO. Couple of most famous superheoes cannot beat Guardians of the Galaxy? Lol

Whata a juggernaut this movie is... 

 

guardians beat many top Marvel tiers as well. Incl Iron Man, Thor, Cap.

After a $25m OW.

 

Missing $250m after a $166m OW would require a 90% drop on its second weekend. No massive opener (or any wide release for that matter) no matter how bad is going to fall that hard.

 

F4 still only 56 million. it started on 16 million. BvS started on 166 million its now almost 150 million more after its OW. See how much wrong there is in your math

UPDATE, 12:19 PM: Warner Bros’ Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice is now looking like it will come in lower with a decline of 50%-55% for $23.1M-$25.65M, which is just shy of the three-century mark with a running cume through its third weekend of $296.4M-$298.9M. Now, Warners wasn’t expecting the Zack Snyder film to cross $300M this weekend, but rather during CinemaCon this coming week. I hear that the magic number internally which will really make Warner execs truly happy is $800M.
