Rebirth ending up within like 50 mil of Dominion would be pretty impressive.

It is the reactionary right that is pushing this story and the left answering back I should clarify.

While the opening weekend is way lower than it ought to be, the patheticly low overseas numbers are the real problem here. This Superman is Very American but the high quality of the movie should be offsetting that in Europe and Latin America. But its not. And Asian numbers are just not where they used to be due to war and the increasingly poor taste of chinese audiences.

This Superman doesn’t even say “Truth Justice and the American way” and still can’t do well overseas

Cinema isn't the first thing you think about when you're sleeping on the streets.

Superman and Star Trek have always done bad overseas. People tend to forget the only reason they went forward with MOS, well A they wanted to go with Marvel, but also MOS wasn’t a big hit, it made amount the same as Returns, but it was probably one of the last big hits on DVD

The trend of people saving their money and then there being one of the biggest movies of all time a few times a year, may have taken a hit with it being a year since the last true mega performance in Deadpool, and relatively balanced summer in terms of Lilo, Jurassic World, Superman being around a hundred million of each other and probably F4 going in that range, though Minecraft's kind of felt like the thing where movies bomb and them something blows up.

I can't lie.

I cannot believe WB passed on what would have been a mega hyped return of Henry Cavill's Superman to fight The Rock's Black Adam for this movie.

Black Adam sucked, i dont think many wanted to see that.

This movie will have good legs domestic, i see it ending in the 320-340 range. Overseas does not suprise me at all.

I agree. I don’t get the recasting at all, Cavill could have gone lighter and could have made way for older Superman stories.

GET AWY FROM LEX!! The only thing about rebooting is no more Jesse as Lex.

I think the domestic opening is just enough to be considered good. Sub-90m would have been bad.

I would have loved Cavill continuing but I do feel the reboot eventually be worth it if the rest of the casting is good and they put together a Justice League that is appealing.

Cavill was popular enough to continue but I think to have a new Lois, Lex and to reset the other DC characters they needed a new Superman. Then again, making a Superman that forced to not have Lex and have a new love interest instead of Lois like Lana Lang would have been inspired and fresh.
