I used to work for a bandom, the company that has ruined wiki across the web. While I was there as an Entertainment Editor, I received the weekly box office report. I took this seriously because I didn’t want my reports to be based on my own prejudices alone. I did research and learned as much as I could about box office numbers, historically and in the contemporary landscape.
So I feel unique qualified to say that the negative analysis I see is pushed around SupermanOpening weekend is not just stupid, it is expected and amazingly stupid than even we can have predicted.
Superman is a success, so far
Let’s get one thing out of the way: Superman In the success of a box office as I write this. He received an opening weekend number (including Thursday screenings) of $ 122 million, already making it the twelfth gross film of the year at this point. Anyone who says this is not a successful opening weekend as intelligent as the sweeping of a barn off a whale donkey.
Now, there is certainly a discussion in terms of a Superman Holds enough interest in the coming weeks to capture more needed dollars. With three verbal country and a week of no true competition, Superman definitely in a position to do well. Assuming a 50% fall in his second weekend (a Superman could amaze with a stronger grip), that would still add $ 60 million to SupermanBank account. That will put it in an undeniable climb that will pass Marvel’s major theatrical excursions for 2025 at this point, Thunder and American Captain: A brave new world.
Of course, Marvel anti-programming Superman financially and culturally by releasing Fantastic Four: First steps Just two weeks after the Kickoff James Gunn movie for the DC Universe. No doubt that will save a majority SupermanAudience, but there’s no way Superman will not do more at the box office than the last two Mcu efforts. So if you tried to reduce the success of those movies you can’t double back and call Superman Failure.
But let’s be honest, not Marvel fans trying to spin Superman into failure.
The Snyder Sociopaths
The majority of the lies around Superman“Failure” comes from a group that does not want to see this film succeed, either in dollars or in a cultural storage. There is an intense effort from the fans of the Zack Snyder DC movies to paint Superman As a loser because they have turned the director’s DC movies into their entire personalities.
They are suddenly experts on an international box office who ignore the trends at the international box office conveniently over the past five years to say that Superman in dud. They craft embarrassed bar graphs by using the inflation calculator without adding the context of decline in leisure expenditure towards films in general. They want to pretend that socio-economic and entertainment landscape 2025 is just like 2013 when Steel man release. Spoiler: Not at all.
These are not serious people. They are ideologies that have attached their egos with a series of poor movies (including the worst DC movie), and they will say and do anything to satisfy those egos. While Zack Snyder himself praised James Gunn and his new insight SupermanThese fades act as righteous soldiers in a holy war that must be fought on every front. Zealots are rarely interested in actually picking and this situation is no different.
As someone who has done a box office analysis for a living, there is no remote intelligent thing coming out of these views. Superman is doing well and is likely to continue to do well because It’s a good movie that Audiences enjoy. Instead of trying to handle data and opinions to grap on, why not all those snyder Simps is going to shoot Jimmy Olsen in the head to feel better?
