Post Superman weekend thread
Pretty important weekend for DC!

Deadline is saying $21m previews including $2.8m from Tuesday screenings.

That feels weak for an opening Thursday

That would be 18.2 Thursday excluding the Tuesday previews
Not great.

Doesn't seem spectacular. Marvel will probably win again.

I don't even know who the villain is in this one in terms of the one fighting Superman, not Lex. Silver Surfer looks increasingly cool in comparison.

Still can't believe Endgame did 60 mil previews. Can Marvel or Star Wars get to that level of popularity again? Maybe with Secret Wars.

19.7 Thursday without Tuesday Amazon shows. Should be good for 125 or so opening. Worldwide numbers seem to be struggling.

Comic book fatigue is very real. This is getting great WOM so it should over perform.

In 2006 or 2013, this movies marketing and reception would make it a top 10 all time opening challenger, not today.

This could have been a disaster. Opening to $120m in this current state of superhero movies is good.

Depending on walkups over the weekend, 130m OW is in play.

Returns adjusted is 345 and Man of Steel 400. I think MOS remains the champ.

Very different eras. This exact film released in 2013 would handily defeat MOS and obviously SR in 2006.

Superman 2 will have a lot more inherent demand coming off of this reception.
