dissapointing T.V. spot, still good all the same but the other one was better.

still looks like a super hit

not on Pirates levels though

It's a good T.V. spot, but you completely overhyped it, excel. It's the same footage, just in a faster pace.

I wouldnt got that far to call him nowhere is Excel in Supe128 league, I lurk through that forum and the guy insults anyone who disagrees with him and threatens to report them for not using lurks and trolling. Not only that the guy doesnt provide links for most his arguments and adds alot of annoying lol icons to his argument. I can see why most of the BOM moved over here because Sean seems to ban more of the credible users but keeps trolls like Supe around

excel's not a troll. His prediction gets more realistic each day.

But he just overhyped that commercial. I was hoping for some new footage.

It SUCKED..

Donner's footage? You mean the stuff we haven't seen with Brando? How long do you think we'll see Brando for in this film, seeing as he's dead and all? If he was in the first movie for only twenty minutes, he'll be in this for a max. of five.

And come on. Would you want a Superman film minus Williams' theme? That's like having a Bond film without Monty Norman's theme.

tv spot just aired with SNL.

Speaking of that, did they do any Superman sketches on SNL? I missed the first half of the show.... If they didn't, I'm guessing they'll do one closer to the premiere date. I bet Samberg'd be the one to play Superman should they do a sketch; I was noticing tonight how he could be made to resemble Routh's Superman.

tonight show was the season finale.

surprisingly no, but spacey did mention it a few times. i was waiting for keenan to come out dressed up, but w/e. but...spacey needs to more comedies. and hes a great singer.

Whoops. Wasn't even thinkin' 'bout that. They really should have done one; I can so see Andy Samberg playing Routh's Superman. But yeah, I did hear Kevin's quick "see Superman!" at the very end; he probably mentioned it in his intro, maybe?

Kevin Spacey was awesome last night. His Neil Young sketch was *perfection*.

Joy

very, very good.

and, surprise surprise, theres ANOTHER full legnth theatrical trailer coming this week to be with xmen 3, though it is rumored to be a lot like this one.

that one above is the international one airing with da vinci code around the world, and in light of da vincis overseas 3 day take of 147 million, the hype should also be happening overseas as well, not just the states.

im not predicting this for a while...but i think the number will mimic one of 2 movies.
if its a solid blockbuser, the numbers will be damn near identical to matrix reloaded.
if its a great one-spiderman/batman begins greta-then numbers will be around harry potter 1.

on a minor note, the special effects look superb except for the shot of the orange stuff coming from the sewers, that looked wierd.

"you wrote the world doesnt need a savior, but every day i hear people crying for one"!

You guys are too funny. " Oh man this trailer sucked, im gonna lower my prediction 100m, oh this trailer was great im upping my prediction 100m "

well seeing as magnus is the only whose mentioned numbered...and their about exactly the same as his last estimate...i dont know who your referring to.

my last estimate was 90/290....so they havent exactly changed.

TV SPOT #4 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

that tv spot is VERY reminiscent of the tv spotsd spiderman had back in 2002.

while 3's my fav., id this tv spot would be the most public effective yet.

$116-$125 OW
$406-$420m Domestic

i'll never waver.

I haven't like:

- the promotional pictures
- the cast
- the fact that this had such a huge budget
- the opening so close to POTC 2 and potentially hurting both films,
- The tv commercials
- The teaser and previously released trailers
- The costume
- WB's promotion
- The huge product tie ins (getting to be excess)


BUT, I watched the international trailer today, and it is the first thing that I HAVE liked about this film, that is leaning me towards actually catching it in theaters now (not opening weekend though, don't want to deal with those crowds).

Bravo WB. You finally did SOMETHING right...

Did anyone watch the season finaly of the simpsons and family guy last night? there were a shitload of x3 tv spots, 1 every time it went to commercials(not suprising considering the company, but i was very suprised SR had almost as many tv spots as x3.

I saw about one or two commericals for SR but then again I only watched the Simpsons for 1hr and lunge after the remote after its season finale so I dont have to watch that god awful show that thinks its funny but its not that comes after it

I think the new trailer is pretty great. It doesn't make me change my prediction, even if I am more excited about it, but it makes me more confident in my $215 million prediction than before.

And last night's spot during Family Guy was pretty good, too.

well, the trailers and the few tv spots seem to be working.

-superman is the number 2 most viewed trailer on comingsoon.net for the past week behind x3. pirates is 3rd

-superman is the 3rd most searched movie of may on yahoo behind da vinci and x3. pirates is not on the list.

-in overall yahoo searches, superman is 7 and superman returns is 11th. pirates is not on the list.

In ooverall yahoo buzz

Spiderman 3 and Batman Begins 3 is ahead of Superman Returns on the chart thus proving once and for all that yahoo searches mainly lean alot towards comic books in large margins

Which only shows that the supposed interest in this movie stems from the internet more than the casual moviegoer and the casual moviegoer isn't going to be ready to accept any other actor but Christopher Reeve in this role and THAT'S what gonna kill this movie..
