I have to say, even though I'll probably enjoy the movie when I see it, I'll be quite pleased if this falls below 200. I still hold a grudge for Singer leaving X-men to do SuperBoring Super-hero. X3 could have been so much better. :glare:

Now my feelings are all torn. I thought that X3 was trash, and i really liked SR. So of course, X3 does 235mil(ish) and SR looks to maybe, almost, barely, possibly make it to 200mil.

I can remember for months that i was dying to see X3 and pretty much shunned SR entirely. X3 is a crap film that does well, SR is a good film that disappoints. I guess it's good that i want to see Pirates now, and have no animosity towards that. Though now that i've said that i've doomed Pirates to failure.

I was sure this club was filled with over 20 insane people, but now I know better.

I thought this club was just as unlikely as the other, but looks like it'll be right after all.

Um, even if this does happen to make a little over 200m, it's not an insane club. It'll be MUCH closer then the 250m+ club.

I was smart and stayed out of any club. A year ago I might of joined this club. My predict went up to 240 though within the past month due to people saying it would do well. (and oddly my 3 day went up after it changed from Wensday, what was I thinking?)

I wonder who had the lowest prediction. I know I had 163. That will be too low, but if anyone perdicted around 180, they could be close.

With Pirates making as much on a non-Holiday Monday as Superman's first Friday (and opening day minus Tuesday shows) and the Devil Wears Prada set to overtake it in the weekday race - I think it's pretty safe to declare victory here.

That being said - is anyone willing to risk starting a Superman Returns under 185 or under 190 club? I'm wondering...

I'm sorry but Snrub should be thrown out of this club. He joined every club, even the 250m club.

I have some blame too :biggrin:


And BOM too :disgust: . Had I not read Kal-El2006 rant about SR, I would not have hiked it to 200 million and majority of the posters on that site were on his side a few months ago. I didnt even know he was providing false information from CNN without direct links

Superman128 actually made me want SR to do this badly. What happend to me was that I just truly thought WB could pull of a MR/HP with this films marketing, but in the end, they pulled a BB-type marketing, though better.


I thought BB's marketing was shit.

I thought Superman's marketing was horrendous. Atleast BB had good marketing material but terrible marketing execution plan. Superman had an awful everything .. including the marketing overload in the last 2 weeks

I thought the teasers were awful, but the tv spots near the end were pretty damn good. I guess it wasn't enough though.
