Superman - 110

Not feeling much hype for another version of Superman.

Yes. $126m

I'm going to say a breakout (150 mil+) just cause I think there has to be one this summer and it feels more right than F4.

111m. Its presales stalled this week due to Jul 4 week being not that optimal. Let us see if final surge can take it above that.

Yeah anyone else see the negative man of steel reviews they were trying to pass off as reviews for this movie on social media :funny:

All said and done - disappointing if this only opens 25% over Brave New World. Would expect a 40-50% higher OW considering the hype and summer release. Same goes for FF4.

I saw one on variety where they reviewed Heads of state that took a shot at this superman movie a week before the embargo lifted, they quickly edited it but now everyone knows the variety critic will give it a negative review.

DC Brand is tainted after DCEU fiasco. So its like Batman Begins situation. You have to build your credibility again. Plus SH movies are not as hot as say a decade ago where movies with unknown characters were blockbusters and China has huge for everything. Korea also seem to have given up on SH movies. So its tougher for the genre. Only movies which are Avengers level or build nostalgia bringing back characters(NWH and D&W) seem to break out these days.

His tracking numbers are probably not amazing

Seeds of doubt are brewing. Sub 100 opening would not surprise me.

Yes, it is looking that way.

And perhaps Brave New World and Thunderbolts overperformed OW due to being released at less competitive times.

I’m seeing Tuesday night as well :D James Gunn has never let me down.

Reactions/reviews are coming in on social media

Author:  Excel [ Tue Jul 08, 2025 12:28 am ]
Post subject:  Re: July 11-13 Predictions

Factor in context but the reactions on social are exceptional, including from some very big names. At worst it sounds like a Mummy/Transformers esque crowd pleaser, at best it is toe to toe with Raimis first 2 Spiderman films.

Post subject:  Re: July 11-13 Predictions

If reviews are good ya think ticket sales will really ramp up

Author:  Keyser Söze [ Tue Jul 08, 2025 1:59 am ]
Post subject:  Re: July 11-13 Predictions

Reactions are ok. Its not screaming universal acclaim or anything. But definitely stronger than Man of Steel or Superman Returns for sure. Presales are amping up. I dont see it miss 100m for sure. I am still sticking with 111m for now. If it explodes way more post reviews, i will increase.

Gunn is not doing the film any favors by calling Superman an immigrant. Half the country will want ICE to deport him lol.
