Told me what? That I was right? That Superman likely isn't a flop and that all of your clickbait farm content is wrong? Is that why you posted more of your clickbait farm stuff in the Cinema boards where you never usually post, just to show us more examples of how everything you consume is garbage?
"OH NOEZ!!! THE MAGA FREAKOUT!!!!!"

... AND remember boys and girls, your school — like our country — is made up of Americans of many different races, religions and national origins. So ... if you hear anybody talk against a schoolmate or anyone else because of his religion, race or national origin — don't wait: tell him that kind of talk is Un-American.

“Woke” Superman Versus MAGA Whiners—Guess Who Won?
It wasn’t Fox News.

There’s nothing like a $125 million opening weekend to overcome MAGA whining, and Superman just walloped the bad-faith culture warriors of the right.
The conservative movement has long relished ginning up moral panics to distract from more important matters, such as its never-ending assault on low- and middle-income Americans and its obeisance to plutocrats. The right resorts to culture warfare over abortion, guns, gay rights, immigration, and religion to win over voters who might otherwise recoil at GOP efforts to increase the power and wealth of corporate America and 1-percenters. And Trump and Co. have followed this playbook, with their crusades against wokeness, transgender rights, and demographic diversity. So when James Gunn, the director of the new Superman, told the Times of London that “Superman is the story of America, an immigrant that came from other places and populated the country,” cranky voices on the right leaped at the chance to accuse Hollywood of making Superman “woke” to advance a left-wing agenda.
Before the film hit theaters, Fox News informed its viewers that the new Superman embraced “pro-immigrant themes.” And MAGA pundit Kellyanne Conway, appearing on the network, huffed, “We don’t go to the movie theater to be lectured to and to have somebody throw their ideology on to us.” Fox host Jesse Watters half-joked, “You know what it says on his cape? MS-13.” For Fox, immigrant equals gang member.
No surprise, the MAGA pundits had no idea what they were talking about. The only pro-immigrant theme in the movie is rather basic and hardly objectionable. Superman (David Corenswet), an alien who fervently wants to help humans, is propelled by an elementary motivation: kindness. He is so empathetic that when his nemesis Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult)—in this telling, an Erik Prince-like character who’s an arms dealer and tech genius who has invented the “pocket universe” (don’t ask me to explain)—unleashes a 30-story-tall dinosaur-like beast (think Godzilla) in the middle of Metropolis, Superman insists on neutralizing, not killing, the monster so it can be taken to a sanctuary to be studied. Other superheroes helping him just want to blast it to smithereens.
There are certainly reflections of present-day crises in the movie. The film’s main tale is Luthor’s unrelenting attempt to destroy Superman, who stands in the way of Luthor’s diabolical schemes. One piece of Luthor’s plan is to delegitimize Superman, and he does this with the accusation that Superman is an untrustworthy alien who has a secret agenda to take over the Earth and claim as many wives as is needed to restore the Kryptonian race that perished on his home planet. In other words, this immigrant is an existential threat and a sex fiend. Luthor’s effort to demonize Superman does initially turn public opinion against the Man of Steel, showing how easy it is to other-ize and vilify a migrant.
The other callback to the real world is a burgeoning war between two fictitious nations, Boravia, an ally of the United States, and Jarhanpur, its neighbor. At the start of the film, Superman intervenes to prevent Boravia, which is being armed by Luthor’s transnational corporation, from invading Jarhanpur. Bu

Shut up, faggot.
I've been posting in support of this movie the whole time. Nobody reads your clickbait bullshit anymore other than retards like you with too much time on your hands.
You've lost the culture war. You've lost everything. Nobody listens to anything you have to say on any topic.
All is as it should be again.

$551 Million after Weekend 4.
It only needs another $11.5 Million for the breakeven point. It will have that by Sunday without the need of adding the international money. Any international money it makes between now and then will all be profit.
But after this it just won't be much profit. The week after that it will be seeing at least 3 sub-$1 Million days and the weekend gross will only be around $4 Million by Weekend 6.
