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 lobogotti Apr 27, 16:27

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

the buzz is there, that poll is impressive. Steel 27% (31.5K+) favored with Iron Man at 24% (28K+) currently. lobogotti Apr 28, 08:20

Hello gary my good man, hope all has been well with you and yours. To your points, I did that research as well and lobogotti Apr 28, 08:11

Hi C, how are things with you? second gary Apr 28, 09:40

I'm doing fine, thank you for asking. recovering from a weight lifting surgery, slow going, but I think it will get better soon. lobogotti Apr 28, 16:53

I saw all three opening weekend. second gary Apr 28, 17:39

very good. will you be seeing Steel opening weekend? if not, to avoid crowds or interest? lobogotti Apr 29, 07:38

Maybe; I don't mind the crowds. SUPR2 would rank 6th of the big summer films I'd like to see, after TREK2, WWARZ, ELYSM, PACRM, & GATSB. {nm} second gary Apr 29, 08:03

Get well soon from the surgery. {nm} second gary Apr 28, 17:43

thank you lobogotti Apr 29, 07:38

The key with Man of Steel, methinks, is that it's been 35 years since the last good Superman movie. Upside is huge IF done right. {nm} KalElFan Apr 27, 17:47

Agreed. The last trailer, Nolan, Walmart, the reimagining of Reeve I + II in one kick-a$$ movie = potentially huge upside potential. {nm} KalElFan Apr 27, 17:50

Reeve '78 went about Top 5 all-time, yet along with II had flaws (campiness esp. Luthor, giving up powers, amnesia superkiss ending). {nm} KalElFan Apr 27, 17:53

Lose those flaws, condense 2 into 1, get an A or better A+ Cinemascore, and 90%+ on RT, and Top 5 all-time is achievable again IMO. {nm} KalElFan Apr 27, 17:59

well, if it is anything like this, we're gold... lobogotti Apr 27, 18:16

If only trailer love automatically equated to movie love. :-) There's also the Snyder factor many still seem concerned about. {nm} KalElFan Apr 27, 19:23

I liked the giving up the powers and the amnesia superkiss ending - But I agree with you on the campiness {nm} JDolphin Apr 28, 14:03
