Wtf

I'm downgrading my guestimate. Superman Returns weekdays have been weaker than expected. It will make 4 million this Fri-Sun maximum, but probably fall short of that by a few hundred thousand. It will come 12th +/- 1 place. Est. domestic total by Sunday 30th July = $185.5 mil.

On thursday i contributed my second donation to the sr fund...

man, the more i watched it, the more it seemed to turn into some awful romcom...

though the scene with the plane and the theme song made the hairs on my neck stand up yet again... least they did something right... the theme coulda been louder though...

and no matter what happens, i hope it makes enough to warrant another movie... i'd rather enjoy parts of a movie than have nothing to enjoy whatsoever...

Meh, the PREVIEWS didn't even look good.

I don't fully believe the 200 mil or bust for the franchise rumour they've invested a lot of money into bringing it back. But it's highly possible that it will be 200 mil or bust for Singer in the eyes of WB. I'm pretty sure the execs are regretting having to pay him all that money and let him remake Logan's Run to ditch X3

Bit of a gamble i'd say... just a lil gamble... 😛

If you gave a guy 204 million dollars + the results of 50 million in preproduction + a marketing budget of probably around 50 million. Then watched the teasers and trailers and film, and had to seriously ponder about where all the money went... would you hire him again though?

f*ck no... i'd give the effects guys medals though... and hire them again, and again, and again...

Seven times now! clap There were still some people at the 07:00 p.m. showing yesterday, which is good. C'mon people, we're so close to the $200 million mark now. =)

Guestimated Domestic BO on Sunday 6th August = $190 million

Let hope the dvd shifts like a very fast shifting thing...

No, over the course of one day.

On 8/2 I posted the totals as of 8/1, and on 8/3( the time you posted in response to) I was posting the totals as of 8/2.

Here's the totals as of 8/3 (Thur.):

Domestic: $188,018,343 58.8%
+ Foreign: $131,600,000 41.2%

= Worldwide: $319,618,343

I think it'll hit 195 by this weekend, and 200 by next week or the one after.

It just hit the IMAX theaters over here in Texas so that's bound to at least add another few million by next week too. Little by little it looks like it'll reach that $200 million mark here. Yay. Plus the worldwide returns, at least percentage-wise, were higher than I expected.

And I saw it again, so that's eight times now. Woo-hoo. Although it was a little harder now as I had to travel further up north in Austin, since most theaters are no longer showing it. Next week I plan on seeing it for the first time in IMAX.

They must have changed the classification of one day, or one million.

🤨 ~$190 million tops.

Man I hate the way that you do that. 😄

Domestic: $190,176,570 56.5%
+ Foreign: $146,500,000 43.5%

= Worldwide: $336,676,570

Although with 336 world wide, the film has at least made most of its money back, and will hopefully turn a profit from dvd sales.

$190 million yesterday. It will likely stop right at $200 million; no more.

This is what we've come to with North American boxoffice. A film that makes $200 million, considered to be underperforming.

😬 Only if it costs more than $200 million in production, another ~$50 million in bungled pre-production, and another ~$50 in advertising and prints in the U.S. alone.

The Devil Wears Prada has made $113 million, it's a veritable financial success. It's all relative.
