Someone in the weekend thread at BOT kept riffing on the idea of SUPE2 being a big art film, the same kind of charge, iirc, that. . .

... was levelled at "Watchmen."  I saw GODZL on the strength of Bryan Cranston's voice work, so well foregrounded in the film's trailers, but having seen it once, I've no wish to see it again.  I've seen bits of "Watchmen," and I liked the looks of the Bruce-Wayne-watches-the-destruction-of-Gotham parts of the SUPE2 trailer, but feel a similar indifference to seeing either movie complete.

Even though BvS is now ahead of Zootopia. I believe Zoo will finish higher. Did anyone see this? {nm} tenchi7 Apr 17, 18:14

Considering how BvS is dropping, Zootopia could come back on top. {nm} Jay_Beezy Apr 17, 18:19

It will be close. I do think Zoo will squeak it out. BvS lost 597 screens compared to Zoos 235. {nm} tenchi7 Apr 17, 18:24

Just wondering what place BvS will fall to for the year Captain 3, Finding Dory, Rogue 1, maybe Suicide Squad and ID4 2 all should pass it. {nm} tenchi7 Apr 17, 18:27

Alice sequel, Jungle Book, Tarzan all have promise to make 330M. {nm} tenchi7 Apr 17, 18:32

Honestly, I don't see the Alice sequel passing it. Ditto on Tarzan. Jungle Book OTOH should easily pass it even with CAPA3 opening soon. {nm} ~JPV~ Apr 17, 19:48

The first Alice did 330+M/1B+> I see it doing close to 400M. Never know with Tarzan. Burroughs needs a win. {nm} tenchi7 Apr 17, 20:57

IDK, I just see it taking a massive dip. Heck, it's about a month away and the current stock is priced at a $51M OW. ~JPV~ Apr 17, 21:54

Also, and I just realized this, it's opening opposite XMEN6. {nm} ~JPV~ Apr 17, 21:59

IMO, Alice will have trouble with $250M (if even that). this film did well because people were thirsty for a Disney Live action at that time lobogotti Apr 18, 06:02

I'd be surprised if it crosses $200M Dom. Internationally it could do very well, though. {nm} ~JPV~ Apr 18, 09:13

if it opens at $60M or under I don't think it has a shot at $200M. could certainly see it falling that far on the OW. {nm} lobogotti Apr 18, 10:32

I don't think it will be that close. Even in the face of JNGLB, ZOOTP still only dropped 42.6% (its worst hold so far). SUPE2 -61%. second gary Apr 17, 19:12

I noticed on 4/7 that the trend in SUPE2 could potentially have it gross under ZOOTP (link inside)... lobogotti Apr 18, 05:30

btw, at one point Zoot was $43M behind Inside Out. the run it's having is spectacular. NO ONE and I do mean no one, would have picked it lobogotti Apr 18, 05:40

SUPE2's performance recalls both GODZL's struggle to reach 200M and the angry disappointment the movie generated. {nm} second gary Apr 18, 06:13

ha, yes! I do remember that now gary. and it was fresh rated from the critics. rare a blockbuster lobogotti Apr 18, 06:17

Cranston did demand attention in those trailers for Zilla, btw. I think Watchmen is worth a view. lobogotti Apr 18, 06:59

Ditto on "talking myself out of seeing" something. I've done that with AVNGR, WATCH and SUPE2. {nm} second gary Apr 18, 07:48
