 Superman weekend thread
Pretty important weekend for DC!
Deadline is saying $21m previews including $2.8m from Tuesday screenings.

 Re: Superman weekend thread
That feels weak for an opening Thursday

 Re: Superman weekend thread
That would be 18.2 Thursday excluding the Tuesday previews Not great.

 Re: Superman weekend thread
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.

 Re: Superman weekend thread
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.

 Re: Superman weekend thread
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.

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

 Re: Superman weekend thread
Depending on walkups over the weekend, 130m OW is in play.

 Re: Superman weekend thread
Returns adjusted is 345 and Man of Steel 400. I think MOS remains the champ.

 Re: Superman weekend thread
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.
