I wouldn't say that as exactly a bomb but it could have opened better.....if that number is true and Excel is not just having fun.

It had a $5.86m opening day in China. That's not bad for a Thursday and will probably make around $70m total. It's not Iron Man 3 levels, though, which is now well over $100m.

MAN OF STEEL should be called MAN OF PUDDING in Germany... Everyday the weekend estimate has to be revised down. Now it looks like a very bland 275,000 admissions including previews...

Man of Pudding?

That flew over my head like Superman himself.

70m total in China would be spectacular

Well, between $60m and $70m. It's distinctly average for a Summer blockbuster that cost $250m to produce and is marketed absolutely everywhere with many product tie-ins, bus billboards, TV advertisements and it being a superhero/sci-fi movie.

im3 opene on a holiday and had that china tie in thing.

germany and italy hate superman...the #s even as far back as superman the movie are horribe.

Man of Steel also has many product tie-ins.

If you're referring to the co-production status that Iron Man 3 had, well, that doesn't actually help a release at all on opening, and Man of Steel just isn't wowing anyone. There's no excuses, Excel.

What?

When?

MOS Thurs, Fri, and Sats have all been quite good. Just oping tiny Times doesnt kill it.

That is just plain wrong. SUPERMAN was the fourth biggest movie of the year in Germany and the third biggest movie of the year in Italy...

Excel, you should punch yourself in the face. Because I can't do it.

Hush doc.


check out superman returns or any of the sequels...

Why should I, you were talking about SUPERMAN THE MOVIE...

Well I was misinformed then. I am not misinformed about the others..

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES totaled 636 million overseas. Man of Steel looks like it should challenge the 450 - 500 million international total range.

It is obviously doing very well overseas. But the worldwide total won't be much higher than The Amazing Spider-Man's. I see $750-850 million.

Which is excellent. THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN was huge, globally.

TASM didn't do as well comparatively from its predecessors, it actually decreased from SM3 after 5 years of inflation and 3D factor, so it wasn't great total. Also looks like after a strong start MoS didn't do as well in few big markets which is why it is going to equal TASM's WW total. Overall its still good/great but given the string start it could have done better.

Spider-man 3 was one of the biggest films of all time...

so?

$89m/$188.3m

Is that it? Only 188m after 14 days?

Seems a little low.

Depends on how many markets it expanded this weekend it could be a good number. Though I do believe it was released in quite a few markets this weekend which makes this number look *not-great*.
