Jesus, you know your film is a nuclear box office bomb when a Sofia Coppola film outdoes After Earth.
No. Where's your faith?

That's implied with "Sofia Coppola film!"

nvm.
63% drop is big but not so big.

Colder.
Superman Red Son, directed by Michael Bay, written by Orci/Kurtzman.
It says a lot about them that I'm more repulsed at the idea of Orci/Kurtzman writing a film than I am Michael Bay directing one.

Although I enjoyed Snyder's take, I hope to one day see Verhoeven do a Superman film, even at PG-13.

Yeah, we can't really know how thing will turn out most of the times. It has become clearer in recent years (though it's always been obvious) that quality is not tied to success when talking box office.

What the hell is with GAF claiming bomba on MoS compared to Returns? By the end of its second weekend it will surpass Returns domestically. Yes there's inflation and 3D to factor in but even with that it will almost certainly surpass it in overall ticket sales by a wide margin when all is said and done. By the way, Returns had a 60% drop on a much, much smaller opening weekend.
TDKR is a July film.

Neither of those are July films...I'm not sure what the comparison is supposed to entail, other than highly anticipated films tend to drop harder than less anticipated ones.

Yep which makes the drop even bigger for tdkr

Cringe worthy to read something like this when everybody knows it's a bad movie (or decent at best). Having cool visuals and actions scenes doesn't make a movie good, let alone great.

After Earth is called a Bomba
TDKR had over $30M in midnights. If your film has a high midnight skew, it is going to drop more in week 2.

The Friday drop was pretty nasty too because of the Olympic Opening Ceremonies. Didn't have to put up with this kind of competition though to be fair.

Lets see if wwz makes back its budget
Plus the whole Aurora shooting. The domestic box office was understandably lukewarm for a few weeks following that.

They are not gonna reboot MoS, c'mon. They can have their cake and eat it too.
They will make the next film have more heroics, more humor, and a lighter tone, but keep the cast and the groundwork they laid out in this film. They can say they addressed the criticisms of the first film for those who were mixed on it, and they are still making a sequel to the first film for those who loved it. Then they just need to rely on reviews and word of mouth to convince people who hated this one to give the sequel a shot.
If anything I could possibly see them going with a different writer or director, or at least bringing another writer on alongside Goyer, but I think they will stick with the creative team going forward. Although I doubt Nolan will do much on the sequel, other than taking that producer credit and residuals.

If MoS follows a similar trend where will it end up?

I have not seen the movie yet, i will see it on Tuesday, so i don´t love it nor hate yet, but dipping so much on the second is a bad sign and bad word of mouth will make it fade away fast. It has bad word of mouth because of the huge dip we saw it on Friday.
When you look at the budget and the huge amount they spent on marketing, you can see why people think that
I'll say it again:
Bomba should be banable. It's almost never used in an intelligent, non-trolling manor.

Honestly, and I'm not a big box office numbers person, I really don't. Won't it matter less with the money it'll make WW and domestic?
"Everybody" except, y'know, the people who liked it? But, yeah. Everybody. Christ.

Most are acting like you have to feel a certain way about the film or something is wrong with you.
I think we all go out of our way to justify our love or hate for a film, especially when we know it's flawed. It's especially funny when the same faults are in a film we feel the opposite about it. It becomes quite the juggling act to praise and damn the same fault.

It's going to easily make double it's budget back when you consider worldwide gross when it's all said and done. And on top of that, WB already announced a sequel with the same creative team. So on, I can't see why people would think that.

Snyder needs to stay.
you know what is else is cringe worthy? when self-important wanna be sophisticates think that not only everyone should share their opinion but that you're wrong if you don't share their world view.
I know you don't like the movie, that's ok. but why do you harp on it so much? you ever notice that? how the people that liked/loved the movie don't go on endlessly on how they loved it, just that they did? and those that hate something can't stop talking about it? they take it personal. join us in the sun crusher....
KalBomba confirmed.
lol
EDIT: I enjoyed "Man of Steel" but I wasn't going "OMG you gotta see this amazing movie!" to all of my friends.

Taking inflation taking into contact, Man of Steel would have made 156m in its first 8 days whilst Superman Returns by contrast made 114m.

Man of Steel took 80% of the lucrative Chinese Box Office, opening with 5.6m. Superman Returns by comparison earned 8m throughout its life span there.
Iron Man 3 opened at 21m in China. It opened on China's Labor Day holiday, whereas Man of Steel opened on a weeknight.
