so coming up, it could struggle as other movies eat its profits, The Bad Guys 2 Dreamworks animation, Weapons horror thriller Zach Cregger, Eden survival thriller, She Rides Shotgun crime thriller, Americana crime thriller, Red Sonja, horror thriller I Know What You Did Last Summer, Osiris scifi action film with limited release, The Toxic Avenger dark comedy horror splatter gorno escapist exploitative , Marvel Disney The Fantastic Four First Steps, The Naked Gun action comedy.
the good news is there is less of the comicbook genre it is in competition against...maybe the Fan4 remake takes its profits or new Toxic Avenger
...way too many horror thriller and its not even the spooky season, so they will also eat each others profits

This is why you’re 99% wrong while posting in these threads. Ok, how many people are posting on this thread? Ok, how many people occupy the far right? Apparently, some jumped the Gunn, pun intended and labeled the movie something it was not. Do you get it Gilligan or do I need to elaborate further?

The point is, we're free thinkers. We don't march in lock-step like you do. I can know exactly what you and Second are going to talk about every single day just by looking at the newspaper headlines in the morning on a news aggregator like RCP. Every single day without fail.
Yeah. If you're one of the 1 Million Americans who have FOX News on blast all day long, you're probably not going to go see Superman.
Big fucking deal. Fuck FOX News.
(And if you haven't noticed, I call JSF out on his political takes ALL THE TIME, both here and in the RWED)
And look at you posting about a movie for the first time ever, faggot. Why is that? Huh, faggot?
It wouldn't be the same reason that you all of the sudden developed a conscious and cared about kids being raped by Epstein and his clients this last week after 10 years of avoiding that topic too?
You are a lemming. I don't demean myself by debating with mindless, drooling drones who's imaginations end 5 minutes into the future any given second, with nothing inside of their brains but clickbait, headlines and horse shit.
Go fuck yourself, pig.

Now I don't know what's going on. Too bad I didn't take a screenshot or archive what I saw at The-Numbers last night for Superman and the international take. Because that's all gone now. I posted this last night.

Good riddance anyway. Maybe we can just let the Cape Flicks die for a decade or two now.

Hold up. Wait a minute...
What's this?
https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Superman-(2025)#tab=international
All I was hearing about was how badly it did internationally, and I know a few days ago that's what I was seeing at The-Numbers. I had heard several youtubers say that it only made $5 Million in China and a few other places as well over the weekend.
I do see that those opening weekend numbers still show up there, but now I'm seeing MUCH HIGHER numbers for all territories and the international numbers as a whole. And it's only Wednesday. I doubt very much the Monday and Tuesday numbers are even in these "corrections".
$35.8 Million in China. $21.6 Million in the UK. $17.7 Million in France. $15.4 Million in Mexico.
These aren't bad numbers at all.
Current international total is now $159.4 Million, which is nearly $5 Million more than the US take including Monday and Tuesday. And like I said before, I don't believe these revised international numbers include anything beyond Sunday.
Take away the $25 Million it's made in the US since Sunday, and that was an opening weekend of $290 Million. On a production budget of $225 Million, this is easily a winner if it doesn't crash and burn here or internationally.
It was sitting at $90 Million internationally, then all the sudden it was $160 Million internationally.
When I went back to look at it today, it's now back down to $95 Million internationally and China is back down to only $6 Million instead of just shy of $36 Million.
Did anybody else click on that link last night or early enough this morning to see the numbers that I saw?
I've only seen this happen one time before when the first part of the Mission Impossible failure was flopping. One night it added something like $250 Million internationally, which may have been enough to save it, but the next day that was all stripped away and nobody said anything about it.

Damn....
There actually was an archive taken yesterday at archive.org, but it was at only around 2PM, way before that additional money was added. I thought maybe I'd gotten lucky and somebody actually did grab it for us.

I saw them. China was leading in the chart and now it is not. I remember thinking only $6 million on opening and number like $36. And now only $6 million is showing.
Did not take a screenshot.
I wonder if someone pushed a button too soon.
I saw a commercial that said Superman is the number 1 movie
in the world. So that is good!

Thanks buddy. I really appreciate you taking the time to confirm that you saw those numbers as well. When the same thing happened to Mission Impossible a few years ago, nobody confirmed that they saw it and I never saw anybody mention it online. So it's really nice to at least know that somebody else saw it this time.

Yeah. I wonder. A bug in the program? I'll bet this happens more often than I've caught it. But since it's been 2 years since the only other time I'd seen it, the thought to take a screenshot or archive it didn't occur to me.
Just kind of weird that it happened during the middle of the week. It's not that I haven't seen large international updates more than once a week on a movie before, but only twice now have I seen that update backed out.

Nice.
Did you see it yet?

I figured I'd re-post this as a follow up to my reply to Ted, because he obviously missed it.

Yes, James Gunn makes the character an “immigrant,” but the real twist comes from his own 2019 horror film, Brightburn.
This immigrant "issue" is just such a dumb and laughable argument from anybody on either side.
If ever there were a textbook definition of an Illegal Alien, it would be Superman.
There's a few differences here between Superman and the tens of millions of illegals that your party has let in that we're in the process of finally removing though, besides the fact that one is a fictional character and the tens of millions are very, very real.
The number one difference, of course, is that he is powerful enough to do whatever the hell he wants, whenever the hell he wants. And if anybody on earth had a problem with it, they don't have any way of doing anything about it.
Good thing for us he wasn't found by either of our sets of dysfunctional parents, huh?
And because he's Good, and so long as he remains Good, he brings more to the table than any human being ever possibly could. In a world full of 8 Billion Plus people who are all virtually meaningless and will be completely forgotten about after the last living person who knew them finally passes on, somebody like Superman is worth more than a countless amount of them.
Nobody cares about this issue other than talking heads in the media that are looking to keep us fighting with each other, and extremist degenerates on the fringes of both the right and left wing. This is nothing but the type of shit that keeps "intellectuals" like Paul Krugman and Ed Kilgore up at night, and the type of shit that shaved 5 years off of Kevin Drum's life.

maybe they screwed up with data and wrong numbers IMAX chains also, I might give it another few days to make a full exact prediction, Chinese numbers are all over the place but they say it does better in China now but now France? made another 13m from France when its opening weekend was only 4.4m that doesnt make sense at all, I know Marvel Disney would get very 'creative' in ways they add up movie numbers I expect DC Warner to do the same just so it can break some record barrier. F1TheMovie hasn't done great but its been doing good enough to take money from Superman.

it seems to be doing better in Latin American than in Europe and Asia but the Europe and Asia numbers are wacky, they are down they are up they are down again maybe up up and away again...some strange math going on.
I don't see enough buzz online and Cinema didn't really come back, they said it was back with Barbie and Oppenheimer but that was kind of like a 'Dead Cat Bounce' economic thing
its first 1st Monday
$12,901,628 /
$137,923,363
1st Tuesday
$17,121,947 /
$155,045,310
1st Wednesday
$11,780,246 /
$166,825,556
Thursday and Friday will be interesting that will tell us about 'buzz' and its staying power legs
missing 4th of July? people said that was a dumb tactical move not releasing on July4 but now it seems M3GAN 2.0 have lost almost a thousand theaters giving many of those screens to buy Superman tickets?
if we are generous and optimistic we would give it $8,900,000 on Thursday which would make it stronger than Man of Steel but its not really there yet, Man of Steel in 2013 had a better first Sunday
Superman is doing ok, at times looking very strong
the previous opening Friday was
$56,109,755 /
$56,109,755
numbers and news on its progress are very inconsistent for now with conflicting reports
by next Monday it could be $5,500,000- 6,800,000 or approaching 7 Mil if word of mouth is really good ... a fall down would be more expected so it could go as low as $4,900,000 or lower
