$50M for MoS should not be much a problem. However I won't predict anything significantly higher (like $80M) than that until we know how it does in other markets before opening here on 6.20.

Dude 50 million would be HUGE (for me atleast), I'd be over the moon and to be honest a franchise reaffirming film cannot ask for any more than that.

Now if only MOS can crack the 10 million mark in Russia (SR did 1 million only)  then it could be it could be on its way to a 300 million OS take (fantastic for a reboot).

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Sure. Cant ask too much for a reboot.

 

The buzz for MoS is still modest (far from IM3/FF6 level) in most places outside the internet. Many random people dont even know about a new Superman movie coming.

[messipotamia]

Hopefully now that they've settled on a release date in china, WB can rev up the promotion for the film.

$250M OS is still very hard ... too bad in some other places.

Morning.  you woke up early to give us recent update.

[Incarnadine]

$61M by this Sunday. 

 

Could end with $70M.

70 would be awesome, BOM has the overseas at $383,400,000 with China's contribution at $51,440,000 as of 5/19/13. If the final tally is 70 that would push it over 400 OS without any of the other holdovers or Japan (any idea when it releases in Japan? I still can't find a release date.).
