the sad part about that is SR was released during the summer with all the other summer event movies. so folks felt it was safe to assume that:1. the movie was going to be action packed even if the story was crap.
2. great special effectsthey got neither........
SR had a lot of hype, not to mention, people didn't get to see Superman on the big screen for over 12 years, obviously it was going to sell some tickets. The special effects were great, but the cost was enormous especially when you take into account how little effects there were. The airplane scene was hinted at cost over 80 million to shoot. And they did spend a lot of money on marketing which I would argue paid off. Yet, people think that Man of Steel had much more hype. It is true but that's because of how the internet base had increased as well as its usage of it in forms like Twitter, YouTube, Facebook...etc. heck, YouTube alone now generates more traffics than the entire internet back in 2006. SR had a lot of stuff going for it even release of games that promoted it. however, the movie faulted and couldn't make it's money

IF MOS is great and I say IF, because it could still suck, MOS will have waaay better legs than Superman Returns. People out there WANT a good Superman movie and the reason SR didn't get as big of a box office, is because it sucked and was boring. MOS doesn't look like that, yet.

We haven't seen modern Superman, people were posting of SR and how it will revitalize Superman. Heck, I'm sure people said that old thing about how the previous Superman movies (IV anyone?) sucked and it will have good legs to stand on.
I have no doubt that MoS will be bigger then SR. It's not about the hype, it's more about how the market is a bubble for superhero movies. 15 years ago, these movies like Avengers, Superman, Thor..etc would be highly risky because there was barely a market for it.
Anyone ways, I'm not sure if everyone wants to hear this, but it's a somewhat big spoiler for Superman. Some images as well

MOS will be different than the sequel that was SR. So, I don't see how they are the same. It will be such a shame if MOS does less than SR, but I don't see that happening.

SR did not suck at the Box Office. It DID earn a profit and make more than Batman Begins.
Not to mention, it had very very nice sale on dvd. Financially, BB was much better then SR

391 million, and that does not include DVD sales and Merchandising sales, and no, that budget does include marketing--though it is a little higher than what you stated. The marketing budget was about 40 million, while the actual production budget was about 230 million.
Who cares about the profit margin though? The point is SR did bigger numbers than Batman Begins did at the Box Office, while not even pandering to the summer action movie bias.
Man of Steel will easily do more than that.
I think MOS has a lot more going for it now than Returns did when it came out. One, comic book movies have never been as popular as they are now. MOS has Nolan on board, which will get people even more interested.
That, and it's arguably the most well known superhero in the world. I can't see it making less than Returns unless it's utter shit.
I'm not saying it will make less money then MoS. Like PR said, superheroes are popular thanks to TDK, Avengers, and Ironman. What I'm saying is, don't change the words to make it look like SR did good numbers. No it didn't, it was considered a failure financial, it was slammed in every way possible. It did not gross a lot of money, nor a high profit. However, it was able to make money for the same reason people are stating MoS will make money. The same reasoning was behind SR when it was announced.
- It's the best known Superhero
- It is modern Superman(Special effects and all, with modernized world yet still stuck in past)
- There hasn't been a superman movie in over a decade
There wasn't a lot of hype on the internet because internet traffic at the time pales in comparison to what it is today. Like I said, youtube alone generates more traffic than the entire USA did back in 2006. Obviously, you will get more views, articles..etc being hyped or talked about.
Aa far as grossing, I think it will be around 550-650. If it is received well like Avengers, Ironman, TDK, i would guess about 700-750. But keep in mind, I'm quite sure there aren't any movies that I know of that have been released in June to make over 100ml on the weekend. Most flop or don't make money.
