My own na make em gross minimum of $671M. I wan enter Snyderbots WhatsApp group. Currently at $551M... so minimum of $120M to go, all this in just 3 to 4 weeks, unlike MoS wey take 4 months to see $668M, and 12 years to add extra $2M to finally enter $670M 😂. Snyderbots worse nightmare go soon happen 😎😂



#Xavier
I actually doubt it will gross that. I could be wrong though. So far it underperformed internationally. The international box office hasn't been good to American films lately.

My thoughts on James Gunn's SUPERMAN:

The writing really could have been better. Gunn has written better stories with heart and fun,but SUPERMAN wasn't it. The movie tried to be everything at once, same mistake Zack Snyder made with BvS. The writing wasted a good cast.

One issue I had with the film was pacing, tone and stake. Scenes aren't allowed to breathe. We don't know the character Dynamics, we are just thrown into scenes and with lots of exposition to explain it. The krypto character was unnecessary. Like Jesus, is this film meant for a general audience or strictly for kids? A lot of jokes don't land or felt forced. And seriously, what's it with the Lex Luthor girlfriend thing? That looks silly. I mean it really cheapened who the villain is if he was to keep around someone like that in his business space. And the way he was exposed, I mean, really? Jesus Christ, Gunn couldn't have come up with a better investigative journalist arc for both Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane than have Lois teaming up with vigilantes when she could be out looking for the scoop of the century? This is the problem I had with MOS, putting Lois Lane in places a journalist normally wouldn't be in and not having the journalist act like a journalist. Superman and Lois got Lois way better. The actress is fantastic but the story failed her just like Amy Adams.

Then, let's talk about the costume. Jesus, I see nowhere it's explained why all the suits look second grade in the movie. I get that Max Lord is funding the Justice Gang but why is Green Lantern not in GLC uniform? Besides, GL is supposed to be a cop not a vigilante for hire. And the Metamorpho arc was just contrived. Why was he working for Lex? How did Lex get to kidnap his kid?

I loved Nicolas Hoult's Lex Luthor. It's something I thought Jesse Eisenberg would be in BvS. However I felt he started to over-act towards the end. And the story wasn't fair to him by not giving him a motivation aside whatever it was they gave him.

Again, I hated how they started the film. I get they were going for a James Bond-esque opening but jeez, there was no build up to keep tension that the stakes were high for SUPERMAN.

The cinematography or the color scheme and CGI was really second rate. I mean, Superman returns had better CGI and that was 2006. SUPERMAN looked more like a CW episode than the CW series even did ironically.

Lastly, they better change that suit.
And recast the Kents. Jonathan Kent looks like a guy who worked with the Italian mafia and retired to live on a farm. Martha Kent looks like a racist grandma who used to own slaves back in the day.

I'm glad someone is saying the obvious truth about the movie, coz the way influencers and Gunn fanatics have been glazing the movie like it's the 2nd coming of Christ and one would think the movie was great. The movie is best average...

grin grin grin grin grin
I gave you a prediction of $32.4m for this week ( from one of my previous comments) and it's looking like I might be correct. Now if by tomorrow it beats my numbers with an additional of $3m to $5m then we can say the so-called return back to IMAX is yielding something meagre for them, but nevertheless it won't main much okay grin grin It's just like a drop of water in an ocean. It will not do anything...
So stop to dey jek Honey-boy cheesy cheesy cheesy grin grin grin

Who go read all that nonsense? My guy stop wasting your time Idgaf what you think about this movie or anything DCU in fact.
Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Minemrys(op): 12:46am On Aug 10, 2025
I think we are in an era where comic book movies are no longer the hype again. Marvel killed it with Infinity War and Endgame. I believe they could have ended big screen blockbuster marvel films with that and focused on Disney + to continue their Multiverse Saga with only Spiderman No Way Home, Deadpool and Wolverine and the upcoming two Avengers films being the blockbuster releases in the saga. For James Gunn DCU, he could have set up the whole thing before making a Superman movie. And with what I saw, I think he was better off not making a Superman movie.
Coming from someone who loves Peacemaker and The Suicide Squad.

You don't need to read it, boy!
I'm just stating the obvious for you so you know what is coming your way grin cheesy
Funnily, the whole Australia in 4wks did $14m but you're ignorantly cheering and posting a re-released in IMAX for a wk or 2 grin cheesy thinking it will do magic cheesy What do you think just a mere wks will yield if the whole country gave $14m cheesy grin
What about the London IMAX re-released you're glazing grin the whole UK ( three sovereign countries) pull $34m since 11th of Aug. Now tell us what just London only can bring to the table (now) that will be much significant? Nothing..

Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by SMUAG(m): 7:56am On Aug 11, 2025
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I told them, Gunn will fail, cause Superman isn't your regular GOTG characters he was handling. Superman is very unique and different, now look what he has brought upon himself; back to back flop.. They didn't just flop, they created a record of DC $100m losers club from a single director grin cheesy grin
The Suicide Squad: flopped
Superboy and the Gang: flopped...
James Gunn should not be allowed anywhere close to A-tiers or popular IPs cause he will bring them down with his love for escapism (jokes) grin cheesy
Now, back to the matter! Honey badger oh sorry honey girl and Xavi alonso I told you! I told you that the numbers you guys were posting were not impressive and the movie was not doing well, but as James Gunn guys na you guys refused to learn from me now see where you guys at now grin cheesy Xavi alonso can't even summoned the courage again to post box office numbers grin cheesy courtesy of box office international lmao
Last week I gave them the week prediction of $32.4 and I also pointed out that it might even drop lower than my prediction if cares are not taken, truly it did and the number came out $26.9m grin cheesy grin Or should I give you this week number too before you accept reality? grin
Hohenheim please we would like to know what impact your IMAX re-released in both Sydney and London adds to the weekend numbers, take mic tell us grin grin
Una sure say una go fit withstand the tsunami wey won come una way so grin grin grin

How come no one is talking about the costumes or is it just me? I can't be the only one who finds the costume silly especially in contemporary times.

They have to change that thing before Justice League hits. I believe James Gunn will crush it with a Justice League movie though. That's the kind of thing he excels in. Team up films. Superman would have worked better if it was not a Superman solo movie but a film that has Superman as a minor character.

Maybe I was the only one before now talking about the cosplay costume....
The other guys here claimed the suit is the very best cheesy
I don't think James Gunn can handle a Justice League movie with many top tier characters. He excel more with unknown characters so he can easily injects his escapism style. Only one character which can still be regarded as top tier character I will like to see him write and direct is Shazam, the main Captain Marvel..
If WB knows what they're doing then they don't need person like Gunn to write, not to talk of directing a Justice League movie. He will completely destroyed Batman if he's giving the opportunity oh... Again, I don't think there is much enthusiasm cbm this days cause what this guys are putting out are low of qualities...
The genre likely picking up now is the horror genre..

The suits are made by maxwell lord and will be changed later I think. But for superman, I don’t think they’re changing it and I hate the trunk… always hated it

How did the movie have Superman has a minor character? I don’t have the figure for his screen time but he had the most minutes in that movie
