Iron Man 3 vs Man of Steel

Flying into someone and a explosion does exactly scream "action packed"

I mean, compare the 3rd Superman trailer, to the most recent Star Trek Into Darkness trailer.

I'm talking about the actual punching, not the colliding.

Honestly, I get that there's an onus on MOS to be more action packed and marketed as such.

I just don't think it was any less indicative of a blockbuster than say, that new Thor trailer. Which was awesome btw.

But are they going to be happy with merely Thor numbers? Thor is pulling in Batman or Iron Man money.

Honestly, I think MOS, if it's at least half as good as the trailer suggests, will surpass Thor without too much trouble.

I think it's going to end up in the same ball park as Thor.

It's going to be 1) Iron Man 3, 2)Thor: The Dark World, 3) Man of Steel, and 4)The Wolverine, for comic movies at the box office.

Thor did 450 M WW. I think Thor 2 can do around 700M, which is around where I see MOS doing.

I don't agree, but I'm open to the possibility of it happening.

The first Thor came out the same week, or week after, The Fast and Furious. Coming of the positive vibes of the first movie, and the Avengers with an October release, I think Thor is going to destroy the box office.

I'd love to be wrong, but I dont think Man of Steel is going to break 600mil WW. I don't get the sense that it will do as well in the foreign markets.

600M isn't really BB numbers and would be a success for WB.

Well IM3 mad about 175

There wasn't a MOS trailer in front of IM 3.

here in cali there was... the whole theater was packed but only a select few were excited

Silly people. How can you not be excited for MOS.

It's impossible to tell who's excited and who is not. Not everyone who is excited is going to clap.

Anyway, the final 2-3 weeks before this release is critical. Once they happen, then we can gauge how much this will make.

Maybe they saw Sucker Punch. 😈

At first I thought Man of Steel would solidly beat IM3. Now that IM3 is apparently has the 2nd best start in movie history I doubt it.

But I have no doubts MOS will be the better flick.

well trix are for kids 😄

i am excited for Man of Steel, I believe it will be better than Supes Returns.. also believe it will be on par with Batman Begins

IM 3 had a good drop compared to other blockbusters, but it should land somewhere around 400 domestically, which is pretty awesome. I don't think that's lock for blockbuster of the year, though. It's slightly comparable to SM lll and has decent WOM.

hopefully.

Found something I didn't know, Superman from 1978 sold 57,000 tickets which would put that film in the top 10 superhero films all time. Solo characters Batman and Spider-Man have sold more than him so there is a possibility that a good Superman film can make some money and be successful.
