Man of Steel box office take

[enyawd72]

^One thing that I think contributes to the success of Marvel movies that people may not consciously realize, is Marvel has something huge that DC does not. Stan Lee.
Marvel, as a company, is more recognized by the common man thanks to Stan giving it a face for decades. Love him or hate him, there's no doubt he's one of the greatest PR men in history. The guy is constantly on TV being interviewed about his co-creations every time a new Marvel flick comes out. Not to mention the cameos in practically every Marvel film. He is a huge part of the Marvel "brand" and his constant presence and grandfatherly warmth and appeal gives people warm fuzzies when they think of Marvel. The guy has done for comics what Colonel Sanders did for chicken. He made his the go-to brand, and the one people think of most.

Man of Steel, $345 million in a mere 9 days, that's pretty darn good if you ask me...

I don't worry about box office numbers, since not a dime goes my way and regardless there will be two more movies made, there are no assurances that any other DC characters movie will be made based on the success or failure of this movie. WE only have hope that there will be......

That freaking excellent, it's all word of mouth now, and even then people will probably wait for it to come on Dvd or when it's on Cable.....

I am happy the film has legs. Damn good movie deserving of all the accolade. I will definitely be adding it to my DVD collection. Not sure IM3 will be joining it.

Agreed!

Wolverine, Thor and Cap are on deck as well, plus Lone Ranger and Pacific Rim within the month. I miss mid-sized movies and more realistic dramas, too, but as a fan of fictional heroes, I'm not complaining about the movie studios are serving up one bit.

TV dramas have been better than ever the past 10 years because of the types of films being made today. To me, that's not a bad trade off.

Oh, Monster U is basically Revenge of the Nerds for kiddies of all ages.

Man, I really want to see this again, but I'm trying to get my wife to it for a date night. She wants to see it, but with her summer reading programs, any movie time is reserved for things like MU and Despicable Me 2.

It's playing at our town theater in 2 weeks, the same place I saw Superman: The Movie. At the very least, I'll see it again there!

Saturday gross is $16.6 million. Estimates for the weekend now sit at about $41.22 million which gives it a 65% drop. Hmmmm. Well, lets hope the bottom has been found and Supes can hold steady from here. Come on Foreign territories! We need you!!

Summer is tough. Lots of movies out this summer, and two big movies this weekend, since they play to totally different audiences. I think MOS will continue to have legs throughout the summer. Remember too, Batman Begins box office take was good, but not great. It did gangbusters on DVD, which built to DK being gi-normous.

Hitfix is predicting MOS to do $275 to $300 m domestically after this weekend's take.
