SUPERMAN by James Gunn (Coming 2025)

Nah my whole point was 'Batman Begins' made a decent amount but didn't break records or anything because it was the first installment of a new series of a character that's been done a bunch of times.

You see it happened with 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' as well where it did pretty good but not record breaking.

These characters have all been done a million times so you need to build something up for it to really resonate. I expect this will do alright but it's not setup to smash box office records.

Those reports were just first day Fandango numbers, it won't mean much on what the actual opening weekend is

I misread your post bruh. My bad. But i agree for the most part but..

I feel this one is getting more hype because it looks different than the Snyder flicks. Looks more cartoony, has a super dog. Will it hit a billion? I dont think so. But could come close depending on word of mouth.

This film will likely gross around 700-850 million dollars.

If it grosses less than that, it would be a flop.

If it grosses more than that (especially if it reaches a billion), then obviously it would be a MASSIVE success.

This. Yeah a billion would definitely be the return of supes.

The secret to a billion used to be China. Hollywood movies don't typically breakthrough in China anymore, some don't get released in China because of a variety of reasons and others have limited releases, etc.. I can't remember the last time a Hollywood movie ran up the score in China. It's rare these days.

So what used to be a "billion" for a movie is now like $700-$800 million. It's made some movies less profitable because the cost of making big blockbusters hasn't gone down, it's actually gone up. The profit margins are all fukked up.

Hollywood needs to find more ways to lessen the cost of films but it's tough because CGI or building practical sets and stunts, etc. all of it cost money. Disney was getting away with fukking over VFX artists for a while but now they can't. Some studios stopped working for them.

When a movie clears a billion now it's a much rarer feat.

Superman was granted a Chinese release, but I don't think that it will do well in China. Superman is probably "too American" for a Chinese audience. Also, Chinese people seem to love films that are water-based (like Avatar and Aquaman), and Superman isn't that.

Superman making a billion will depend on how well it does in Latin America and Europe.
