Thanks, but it's not my first rodeo. But, yeah I totally get why the allfather needs to go into the odinsleep every now and then.

Congratulations! :Clap

I'm not sure but I think it's going to be a close one.

I'm thinking they'll be close, possibly B vs S may win the opening weekend number, but I see B vs S dropping off potentially with Civil War sustaining a longer box office momentum.

That's the first thing I thought of!

Same here.

Fairly sure Dawn of Justice will take it.

Right now it's a coin toss between BvS and CW box office. I think it all depends on how well the international territories eat up the action in BvS. Unofficial reviews are starting to trickle in and it's looking quite divisive, this could hurt the domestic legs if these qualities don't resonate well with the GA (like MOS). CW on the other hand has RDJ, he'll be HUGE for the global box office take. IM3 was highly divisive and still took in well over $1B with 2/3 of its gross from international. AoU was by MCU standards a subpar film and still did $1.4B and also 2/3 from international. One reddit reviewer said BvS was comparable to AoU, while I really don't expect the Russos to deliver a AoU quality film.

At the end of the day, I don't know whether or not the DCEU novelty factor and Snyder action will outweigh its pending critical performance and how that translates into box office gross. But between BvS and a Russos-directed film that has RDJ in a lead role, I gotta put my money towards CW.

Think BvS will edge it purely because it's Batman and Superman. To the average person, those characters are a far bigger deal than anyone in Civil War. Together onscreen for the first time, as well. Will be surprised if CW makes more.

To the average American yes, but Superman doesn't have a mass appeal overseas like Batman does. And foreigners, generally speaking, care a lot more about the actor than the character. I don't doubt that BvS has a great shot of beating CW in domestic BO (as long as the reviews aren't horrible), but for global? I'm still leaning 55/45 towards CW here, but as you said, there are factors that give BvS a solid chance of winning out.

I'm English, and was speaking worldwide. It's going to be interesting, definitely!

 

[wolfdog51]

I would go with CW only because I didn't like Snyder's version of Superman. I know other people who didn't either. I have no interest at all in seeing BvS where as I have bought tickets to see CW 3 times already. Hope it doesn't suck.

PLUS, how can we forget, CW has Spider-Man! Character with massive global appeal. Granted he's in a small role but still, that's gotta count for something.

Should've looked at your location first But when I think of big bucks from overseas territories, I'm thinking of Asia, Russia, and South America. These are the sort of markets that play a big role in making questionable films like Transformers and F&F a financial success. Audiences there have let's say, different tastes than most developed countries.

Have any of the Amazing SpiderMan films been huge hits though? I think the second one didn't do well right?

Thanks!

Russo's no longer worried about BvS.

Until the Spidey reveal, I thought Batman V. Supes would win in the financial department, even if the movie was worse critically (and I assumed it would be). But now. . .eveything that made Marvel Universe movies succeed before, PLUS ****ing Spider-Man??
