then the Batman-Superman combo could possibly be looking at a $180M-plus stateside debut. How’s that? Turns out that was the original industry opening projection for Dark Knight Rises before the Aurora, CO. midnight theater shooting struck and slowed down business for the Christopher Nolan film during its first FSS. Put an asterisk on that forecast. Dark Knight Rises had the benefit of summer weekday audiences, BvS is hoping to milk as many spring breakers as possible. However, when it comes to record openings at the box office, does it even matter anymore what season you play?

From the article - first day advanced ticket sales surpassed The Dark Knight Rises {nm} reelreptile Mar 03, 08:26

Our floor is $170m currently and we transition out of early polling this weekend. Initial floor was $150m on 2/15. {nm} RollingThunder Mar 03, 08:49

This is actually a correct and good point, The Dark Knight Rises advance ticketing record was only surpassed by The Force Awakens recently. {nm} notfabio Mar 03, 10:32

BTW, can anyone confirm, read 3 weeks prior JURA4 was tracking between $100-130M? {nm} ~JPV~ Mar 03, 08:39

Yes. Difference is that the tracking was at or above most people's expectations. BvS tracking is below all expectations I've seen. {nm} MattW Mar 03, 08:44

Makes no difference what OUR expectations are but the accuracy of the tracking 3 weeks out. {nm} ~JPV~ Mar 03, 08:52

Ours no, but the people interpreting the tracking data yes and since we all look at the same comps going into it... MattW Mar 03, 09:03

What did you think their expectations were? MOS opened to 116-128M. Anything above that is good. {nm} Antibody Mar 03, 09:16

If SUPE2 opens to $130M, WB should send everyone home and reevaluate their approach to properly launching a cinematic universe. {nm} eallensbp Mar 03, 10:08

For a rumored $350+ million budget it isn't. {nm} MattW Mar 03, 10:21

The foreign box office will at least double the domestic. {nm} Antibody Mar 03, 10:27

Yeah, links inside andy007 Mar 03, 08:45

Thanks {nm} ~JPV~ Mar 03, 08:54

I'm not even that excited about it but the pint glass from Alamo Drafthouse got me to buy some tickets.. MiyazakiFan Mar 03, 09:03

you are the best {nm} Moviesnob Mar 03, 09:44

Jura4 is underprice. Super2 is overprice {nm} mike255 Mar 03, 09:12

...but this porridge is just right. {nm} Initech Mar 03, 09:19

JURA4 has already cashed out {nm} RazorHawk Mar 03, 09:34

Not in his world. {nm} pennystocks2 Mar 03, 11:41

WB needs to pump it further. So what if it's pacing TDKR, the pace is about to fall off steeply... {nm} eallensbp Mar 03, 09:43

Base on what? Your opinion? {nm} Antibody Mar 03, 09:44

Based on a torrent of lukewarm posts from diehard Bat and Supe fans, nearly all of whom were MEH on MOS, and partially based on-- eallensbp Mar 03, 10:12

Just anecdotal evidence. {nm} Antibody Mar 03, 10:16

Jurassic Park world start 190. Compare Supe2 Start 390 mike255 Mar 03, 10:29
