I will still say not great for a tentpole movie people were literally glazing as the 2nd coming of Christ..
The additional $3m was from domestic and overtime observations have made us to understand that big movie like this needs a very solid and successful overseas numbers to become huge. The overseas numbers are not living up to it and even the so-called domestic number is still less than MoS of 2013 with $3m.
Man of Steel's Thursday to Sunday number: $128m
Superman's Thursday to Sunday number: $125m
Only propaganda can give this movie a long leg and good repetitive views in theatre, cause the movie is very divisive and I can tell you for free that majority of people calling this movie great, perfect, best cbm of all time etc are heavily lying... Also WB and Gunn need to be praying now that F4 is also a poor movie coz if not hmmmm... This Superman will hardly make it to $700m not to talk of the $1b many of them are saying..

Xavier5:
Superman opened with $220 million worldwide and $125 million domestically, outperforming Man of Steel’s $196.7 million (worldwide) and $116.6 million (domestic) opening — yet some people are still claiming it’s underperforming?

Let's be serious. If this is what a ‘flop’ looks like, then Man of Steel was a warm-up act with good lighting. No depressing color palette, no awkward speeches about hope while snapping necks, no unnecessary Jesus Christ allegory — just a Superman film the world actually showed up for.

The new DCU is off to a strong start, and it’s clearly bothering a particular group. The critical reviews and audience scores are speaking volume... so if a minority think their noise count, then who am I or we to stop their delusion... 😂😂😂😂😂

SMUAG:
Die-hard Gunn fans keep proving to us that you guys know nothing honestly...
Now learn:
Before now box office numbers account for opening weekend usually start from Friday. That's Thursday numbers were often captured separately. That's they are not included to Friday, Saturday and Sunday's numbers...
Mind you, then Thursday previews usually start 7pm but currently, especially Superman it started at 2pm (5hrs difference, which for at least extra two viewing time)
Man of Steel's Friday to Sunday number: $116m, while its Thursday's number: $12m
Superman's Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday number: $125m

Now the overseas numbers:
Man of Steel: did open with around $84m with like 65% of its overseas markets.
Superman: opened with $96m with like 95% of its overseas release....

MoS opening wknd: worldwide number $212m with like 35% overseas markets left to open.
Superman opening wknd: worldwide number $220m with only like 5% overseas markets left..

You don't need to go to Harvard University to tell/know the numbers are not great for the way fanboys spread propaganda about the movie...

pu7pl3:
Omo I never see this kind relentless hater before.

Dude has my respect tbh

People that didn't like the movie are in a minority like you bro.
Word of mouth is still very strong, the international market will still catch on.

Okay let's say it doesn't hit 700-1bn even if it does 650 it's still a massive W.

Let it go bro.

SMUAG:
Now take one with more than 200k views..
Hope you're satisfy now...

SMUAG:
No b today we don dey see dis format wey WB won use deceive people
They are scared of seeing their Superman tanking heavily that's why they came up with lies of $225m budget and the movie doesn't need to do a billion to call it a success. When they were tasking other to do the billion mark for a period when things were relatively okay they don't know abi
Anything short of $900m is a failure for a Superman movie released in the time where price ticket has almost double the price few years back..

Even in the midst of the Superhero movie madness era when Aquaman and Captain Marvel were making a billion Zach Snyder used 2 of the most popular Superheros in a movie, actually it was 3 because Wonder Woman was a major part of BvS and he still couldn't make 900m all while he was also riding on the success and goodwill of the Nolan Dark Knight trilogy.
He ended up ruining DC's image and now Gunn has to earn it back. If you were a true fan you would be thankful.

Ben Shapiro 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh! I thought you don't really care about the youtube videos, Xavier Alonso abi na Xavi Hernandez..
Then let me give you another reality check
I will advice you don't bother to check out this one, coz it might make you poo on your body..
All good and critical thinkers know the movie is absolutely failing for now and it's a fact that gunntard don't want to stomach... Maybe tomorrow might be better. But it's doing poorly for now, even worse than the atrocious Ant-Man 3 opening weekend worldwide number

Gbola5:
I’m noticing a trend where every conversation about a new movie—like Superman—immediately turns into box office predictions, hate trains, or culture war narratives. Channels like Geeks+Gamers and Ben Shapiro aren’t offering real criticism; they’re pushing pre-packaged outrage, they're grifters. When did we stop being fans who were excited to see a character we love on screen? Not every film needs to be a culture battleground or a financial spreadsheet. Your speaking about the box office projections just comes off as you trying to justify your criticism of the movie.

SMUAG:
That same question can also be for you. Coz James Gunn was with MCU then at their golden age era yet non of his trilogy could crack a billion where billion became something like a millions to that universe... Before you come with those gibberish unknown characters stuff just know that many of those MCU characters were never up to c list characters in term of popularities before MCU started. Black Panther and Captain Marvel were nothing to known before MCU.. In fact the only Captain Marvel few people knew then was Shazam Captain Marvel..
This joke is really on you guys oh... Man of Steel was a movie with just Superman alone, unlike the Justice Society movie you guys are calling Superman's movie. I have seen the movie and it can easily be passed for a 1.5 Justice League movie so it needs to do at least a billion to justify any stand as compare to MoS of "only" Superman in it..

SMUAG:
But MoS did suffer same hate trains from the people today trying to gaslight everyone into accepting that a poorly executed movie is far better than anything. Not just that alone, they hardly stick to their Superman movie without trying to drag MoS into it. So It will be normal for any normal human to react and seize any opportunity coming their way to punch harder, which the current number for Superman gives that leverage to do so..
We should not pretend like Gunn fanboys are the quiet type that don't get into argument with others. They are also many youtube channels out there that their main objective is bashing anything Snyder have done and they are worse than the guys you mentioned above, which some of the names you mentioned ain't in support of Snyder's movies.
Hint: if Snyder was the one who turned Kal-El parents into something else I don't think the internet will be able to contain the kind of hate comments that will be going around, but because Gunn can do no wrong he's allowed to change their backstory. Same movie that Superman lasered humans and allowed them to either fall to their death or survive it from over like 300ft up in the air without care..
The truth is when all is set and done people will come out from their closets to say the obvious truth - now they are all after " Gunn should not fail by any means" agenda...

Xavier5:
Another win... unlike Man of Steel #125.1M opening weekend in Nigeria back in 2013 😌🙌😂😎

johnyace:
this is my exact problem with this folks, if Snyder had done something like that to Jor el that would be all people would talk about... As a DC fan I actually want Superman to succeed, because I actually want to see a more cohesive live action DC universe...
It's quite unfortunate that people allowed their bias to ruin what Snyder had for us...
Gunn has the goodwill of the people, so I'm sure his DC UNIVERSE will go on without a hitch, but people should stop acting like Snyder DC movies were bad and it wasn't their bias that clouded their judgement

Hohenheim:
Lmao you're comparing having Star Lord, Drax, Gamora and Rocket for a movie to having Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman while also revealing The Flash and others in the movies I'm not even talking about the Justice League movie only MoS and BvS because by the time JL came Snyder had already ruined DC.

johnyace:
lolol you want to compare the price of tickets then to now, or the value of naira to the dollar
