Yahoo Movie Poll - I have suspected that Man of Steel was going to open a lot bigger than most imagine since the first trailer. The last

Posted by: lobogotti on Apr 27, 16:27

trailer which really blew a lot of people out of the water, has had a lasting impression. Now, I'm not stating that a Yahoo Movie Poll about your vote on what you "most" want to see will determine the box office winner for the year, but it has some very intersting results so far.

With Iron Man 3 tracking at unbelievably high levels, I was quite impressed to see Man of Steel receiving 3% more interest (with Iron Man less than a week from opening). That 's extremely impressive considering the Iron Man and Avengers success.

I believe the Nolan stamp, well cut trailers and hopefully stellar reviews are going to have this film opening at some crazy high levels. If Iron Man 3 opens to 150M+ as most expect, that bodes well for Steel (it's currently priced at about 95M OW). Even if the pollsters are skewed with comic book fanboys, this still is good info for Steel interest given the direct competiton with IM3 in the poll.

With the results below, interesting when looking at After Earths 1%, Elysiums 2%, Hangovers 6%. Quite impressed with Gatsbys 11% of the vote.

I think there is some gold in these stats, but one poll does not an opening weekend make. Trade responsibly.

Man of Steel is a reboot and its always the sequels to reboots that open big. Current price would be a huge great opening {nm} notfabio Apr 27, 17:13

The recent Spider-Man reboot wasn't exceptional, was it? I doubt the Fantastic Four reboot will be either. {nm} KalElFan Apr 27, 17:42

I have every confidence that the action and visuals of Snyder, coupled with the storytelling of Nolan will make this film a HUGE success. {nm} lobogotti Apr 27, 17:49

while I don't disagree that 90-100M would be a great opening, I expect more from this film. lobogotti Apr 27, 17:45

How or if they report the Walmart tickets will be huge as it is several million dollars in tickets for just one thursday show {nm} notfabio Apr 27, 19:04

theatres are not redeeming the tickets into their box office so WB it wont show up on Rentrak etc {nm} notfabio Apr 27, 19:07

interesting indeed. but WB is going to want those numbers in the OW, right? {nm} lobogotti Apr 28, 07:05

Since the pre-sales and gross will be known in advance, I would think WB simply reports it and ERC adds it in. {nm} KalElFan Apr 27, 19:21

To play devil's advocate: sure there are no big-buzz event pictures close to its release date, since only 2 June releases... second gary Apr 27, 20:42

Only Khan is worse for TREK2 IMO. Jor-El, Krypton, Zod (maybe teasing Brainiac for SUPR3) fit SUPR2 and avoid the campy Luthor drag. {nm} KalElFan Apr 28, 03:31

SR had a B+ Cinemascore and 76% RT. Reeve 78 has 93% on RT. To shatter June's record with a $150M+ OW, SUPR2 needs A/A+ and 90%++. {nm} KalElFan Apr 28, 03:37

That's not cause-effect. It's just that a very high A+ and 95%, for example, would correlate to huge buzz and WoM, and a massive OW. {nm} KalElFan Apr 28, 03:39
