even SHACK said it had a terrific tv spot campaign and he had "realized it will get 200 million but wont admit due to pride".

excel, you've yet to realize (and you probably never will) that awareness does not equal interest. Just because there was a lot of marketing doesn't mean WB made people CARE about the god damn film.

My dad got me a Superman t-shirt (the "S" one) from his trip to Las Vegas, and he said it was the last one. It looks like $200m is still in the cards for Supes. +500% this weekend.

Don't blame the failure just on Warner Brothers. Some of the fault lies directly with the Singer and the writers, and the people who thought there was demand for Superman when there wasn't. If Superman had been something that the general public wanted to see, there would have been better WOM. WOM trumps marketing.

Oh, and it would have helped if Superman was released a month after Pirates instead of a week before.

That pic gave me a laugh. I did try and google it but it did give me results so that picture has to be faked. It would have been much funnier if it was true

It hasn't helped Warner that none of the six profitable movies it has released this year — including "V for Vendetta" and "Superman Returns" — has been a blockbuster. Horn said the half-dozen would make "from a lot to a little" money.

Horn declined to divulge figures, but a person familiar with the studio's internal projections said Warner's cut of the "Superman Returns" profit was expected to be $50 million to $60 million. The film cost $209 million to produce and more than $100 million to market worldwide.

Horn expects "Superman Returns" to eventually gross about $400 million worldwide, more than last year's hit "Batman Begins." Nonetheless, "Superman" fell at least $100 million short of his expectations.

"I thought it was a very successful movie, but I think it should have done $500 million worldwide," Horn said. "We should have had perhaps a little more action to satisfy the young male crowd."

Still, he's betting Warner has firmly reestablished the "Superman" franchise and is planning another installment for summer 2009.

I think you misread the article, heh. Well you actually didn't, it was them who worded it poorly.

Or do you really expect WB to make $60 million profit with $300+ million overall costs as stated in the article? heh If they were talking real profit they wouldn't have said "WB's cut of the profit"

I am so proud of the "I think it will fall short with somewhere between $185-195 million" prediction I made. I don't feel like I'm ever right about these kinds of movies, so it was nice...to be right.
