I used to work for Fandom, and the company ruined the wiki on the internet. When I was there as entertainment editor, I was assigned a weekly box office report. I take this seriously because I don’t just want my report to be based on my own bias only. I did the research and learned as much about the box office history and contemporary landscape as possible.
So, I am very qualified to say that the negative analysis I see is being driven SupermanThe opening weekend was not only stupid, but it was both expected and surprising, even more than I expected.
Superman is successful, so far
Let’s avoid one thing: Superman My writing this article was a box office success. With its opening weekend number (including Thursday screenings) of $122 million, it is now the best-grossing movie of the year. Anyone who says this is not a successful opening weekend is as clever as a barnacle.
Now, whether there is any discussion Superman Enough interest will be maintained in the coming weeks to capture more much needed dollars. Have a strong reputation and a week without real competition, Superman Absolutely capable of doing well. Assume that the second weekend fell 50% (and Superman Probably with a stronger holding), which will still add $60 million Supermanbank account. This will put it in an undeniable climb, at which point it will pass through Marvel’s main drama outing Thunder and lightning and Captain America: A Brave New World.
Of course, Marvel deprogramming Superman By releasing finances and culture Fantastic Four: Step One James Gunn filmed the opening film of the DC Universe just two weeks later. No doubt this will fall into most SupermanThe audience, but there is no way Superman In the end, it won’t be more hard at the box office than the last two MCUs. So if you try to blow up the success of these movies, you won’t be able to double down on the phone. Superman fail.
But, honestly, it’s not a miracle fan trying to spin Superman fail.
Snyder Social Pervert
Mostly lie in Superman“Failure” comes from a chance person who doesn’t want to see the film succeed, whether it’s a cache of dollars or culture. Fans of Zack Snyder DC movies focus on painting Superman As losers, because they turned the director’s DC movie into their entire personality.
They suddenly became experts at international box office, and they have conveniently ignored the trends in international box office over the past five years Superman It’s a fool. They abbreviated the entire movie by using an inflation calculator to create embarrassing bar charts without adding a drop environment for entertainment spending. They want to pretend that the socioeconomic and entertainment environment in 2025 is like 2013 man of Steel issued. Spoiler: Not at all.
These are not serious people. They are ideological people who stick their self to a series of bad movies (including the worst DC movies) and they say and do anything to satisfy those egos. Even Zack Snyder himself praised James Gunn and his new perspectives Supermanthese dim men act like righteous soldiers in a jihad, and must fight in every way. Fanatics are rarely interested in spitting out the truth, and this situation is no different.
As a living box office analysis person, these views are nothing out of reach. Superman Behave well and will likely continue to do well because it is a good movie the audience loves. Rather than trying to manipulate data and opinions to get them littered, why not all those Snyder Simps would shoot Jimmy Olsen’s head feeling better?
