We know the quietness in this thread is proudly sponsor by the Superman international box office numbers
Many of them claiming calm would have brought this page down with comments upon comments if the numbers were superb, so stop all these shenanigans, we know you guys
It's my time so I will use it, mugu

F4 coming to put the final nail in the coffin

phr0nesis:
Whether it makes money or not, Warner Bros already see it as a successful, and are already fast tracking other DC contents. While you hate and hope for its failure, the DCU is moving on. Please stop giving yourself unnecessary high blood pressure

Delusional, is that you!

I guess some people are going through serious torture as they keep refreshing box office pages to pray their darling movie's box office numbers miraculously jump up! No, it won't just Jump
Setting an imaginary target to perouse "we did it" is a fantasy too far to actualized, cause the real numbers are out there for all to see...
The movie is failing and there is nothing their rants can do about it
$400+ in 2wkends for a tentpole movie that alleged paid critics and influencers called one of the greatest movie they have seen is not good. Domestically its doing great, but the kryptonite is well outside their border and Galactus is definitely coming to consume major part of its planet next week
BEP for this 2hrs torture of a movie is within $650m to $700m. I doubt if this movie will see any net profit...
Gunn don use mugus cash out seriously

This man say the movie na 2hrs torture, and that him even think say Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen go beat Superman before the movie end
Omo!!! The best review ever!!!
Make I go follow the man fast

Spoiler alert
We go chop meme taya from this movie
Funny as it may look or sound this is actually similar to what Gunn gave us as Jor-El

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.

Snyder did not ruin DC, WB and MCU fanboys pretending to be DC fanboys ruined DC.
Man of Steel is way better than this garbage Gunn gave people, but the 'do my prophet no harm' has blinded so many people thought of reasons towards Gunn...
Only what I will say now is, when you see the movie them come let's debate plot for plot, pace for pace, actions for actions and even who saved people better in both movies..

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

Exactly! Gunn just did worst by doing 360 turn on what Jor-el stands for...
Also, there are scenes in this movie that showered Gunn Superman didn't care for human lives that much the way Gunnbros are glazing him to be... I wish they can come and tell us how the guy Superman knocked his teeth off up in the sky was able to survive the fall from that height when we did see how Superman punched him and flew away.. Worst part was he did same thing to all those Luthor foot soldiers and never give a damn if they will die, yet they want use to massage his ego because his Superman saved a squirrel a scene that was shoehorned into the movie..

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.

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...

Hohenheim:
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.

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..

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


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZYE54GuhOM?si=8wC15suzteykQRNE

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..

Hohenheim:
😂 😂 My man had to go dig for a video with less than 200 views looking for a review that really hates the movie. Just move on man.

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

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... 😂😂😂😂😂


#Xavier

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:
How about the new $220 it brought in? Is it okay?

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..

Hohenheim:
😂 😂 My man had to go dig for a video with less than 200 views looking for a review that really hates the movie. Just move on man.

Don't worry, I will give you the one with at least 200k views coz I guess you're desperate for the views

It's a pity that people with smart phones at their disposal do not really know how to use them...
For the records the numbers this movie brought in is fairly okay and I advice guys like you to do more research work...
$217m is not a sign of good things to come, especially the drops from Saturday to Sunday.. Though I don't blame you guys, you definitely don't know anything.
Just to clear your doubt a bit; the MoS most of you saw as a failure did command a better Thursday to Sunday domestic numbers than Gunn's Superman. Also, MoS international releases were not on same day so it can't be said to do less than Gunn's Superman world wide where like 95 % of its international were released same day as its North America release...

You guys should please, learn more...

SPOILER ALERT if you have not seen the movie...
This guy just say many of the honest ones minds here..
He literally destroyed the movie. I thought I was even too hard on it but boy oh boy! This guy didn't hold back.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UHs2yYVYUc?si=KmADkcvKv_n8dRLJ

MSGAMBLE9:
One deluded Ikorodu box office analyst even said $1B.... The movie was projected around $300m last week, earning 217m is really underwhelming to projections and will struggle to reach $500m...

I don't even care about the money they movie will make, but honestly speaking the movie is very bad... The quality and visual effects are just slightly above CW Superman and Lois that was just concluded.
People are hyping the movie for interior motives. They either want the movie to succeed by any means (wether it's bad or not) or they are just trying to hating on Snyder's MoS. Aside that, I don't see any reason. The movie is meh at best. Using generic to classify the movie is like over estimating the word "generic".. It's below that word for a movie people hyping the best Superman movie of all time...

Hohenheim:
SMUAG James Gunn will turn you into a believer

With the utterly garbage I watched yesterday, never!!!
Take it to the bank, Superman Return is a better movie than this movie...

Kaycee7:
Bro said 2nd biggest opening of the year is not doing super great. I'm begging the exorcists to free this poor soul from the shackles of Snyderism

I guess comprehension is your kryptonite...
By the way, the so-called opening weekend number is not impressive at all...

What did I watch yesterday!!!
Now I believe critics can be paid, cause what I watched was a train wreck to say the least..
Anybody who gave this movie a 4 out of 5 rating is either a fanboy or somebody who knows nothing about movie... This movie is shockingly bad that if I should rank this movie with few other cbm movies it will likely come out last! Yes, you heard me LAST! This movie is as bad as Aquaman 2, Shazam 2 and even the recent Captain America movie...
What! How did this movie gets to be 82 on RT is a mystery, cause the whole movie is a mess. I won't be surprised years to come to find out that Gunn have nude pics of majority of critics that rated this movie fresh...
Pacing: bad
Plot: terrible:
CGI: still poor as the trailers.

i) The only person I think did a good job in this movie is the guy that did the Barbie's movie marketing and promotion they brought in. How the guy was able to confused (not convinced oh) grown up men that this movie is great (not even good) needs to be studied in higher institution cause that guy is a genius.

ii) Luthor hates Superman so much and he had the opportunity to end his life when The Hammer of Borovia knocked Superman down the 2nd time, but he decided to order the Hammer to return back to base. Superman was literally not being able to stand as at that point, but all Luthor could do there was to take a facial capture of the "one" man that decided to help Superman..lolz Luthor's excess hates for Superman in this movie is nonsensical because no records showed or proved why all the hate...

iii) It's very silly of a plot to see Lois Lane, without any training flying one of the most advance technological flying object abi plane by the so-called Mr Terrific. I guess Mr Terrific is not all that Terrific.

iv) What was the guard Luthor placed in charge of Metamorpho's baby doing when Metamorpho was literally creating a sun-like energy to recharge Superman. Maybe he was sleeping because if not he would have threatened Metamorpho to stop else his baby dies.. Messy subplot..

v) Kaiju was released into Metropolis as a baby but became something a size of some of the tallest sky scrappers with no trace of destruction around. Yes it was stated in one of the tv news that it was seen before now as fewer feet bigger than its previous size, but no way a giant of such will appear on major street without chaos and destructions. Note: that particular scene in the trailer where Superman saved that little girl is one of the most shoehorned scene of all time. How did the girl get there? Not just get there but how she was majestically walking like a princess straight out from Disney cartoon.. No tense moment when people were running for their lives.. If you even look critically you will notice some of the people with smiling faces running

vi) Also, is very funny how the movie often tried to bring in US government into the fold but you won't see any of the US military forces coming out to salvage any of the situations when American lives were being threaten.

Now, anybody who watched this movie and come to say this movie is even on the same level with MoS, is either a die-hard Gunn fanboy or the person is straight up delusional ( I do not mean it in an insulting way oh). The movie is messy by honest standard.
I had to invite my brother who was not even a fan of the previous DCEU to see the movie with and the guy was blasting the movie from half way till the end.
The movie is shockingly bad by all standard and anybody saying this movie is great is lying!!! Just like how Angry Joe in his fan review said the movie is great and gave it a higher score blah blah blah, but when asked to give an honest review he without any hesitation lower his rating to 6/10, despite he's a fanboy oh!
I can go on and on, but if I should rate it then it's not getting anything higher than 5/10..
This movie will definitely age like milk
Epic cinema is dead!!!

Kaycee7:
Raise am! I say RAISE AM!!!
Taaa! Clear road for Big Gunn, nwanne

Slow down your excitement for now cause that figure is not really impressive as you may think...
That $22.5m grossed you see covered both Wednesday and Thursday. That's movies usually start by 7pm for their Thursday night showing, but this Superman started showing as early as 2pm on Thursday, so it's not really an apple for an apple comparison... We don't really know what its Friday, Saturday and Sunday's numbers might look like, but for now it's not really doing super great.

I think for Gunn's Superman to have a RT score of 80 above is a win for him and his fans. I never expected it to get up to that point and it has over impressed me for that.. We see where it goes from here. At least it's a big step forward for WB to have faith on their new universe and on Gunn. I will see it soon and see if the movie can make any difference from other Gunn's movies I have seen..
It bothers me seeing Gunn handling the new DCU because I know we go chop enough cringe jokes taya and I no fancy things like that..

Hohenheim:
You just described both BvS and ZSJL
Hopefully you go into the movie with a clear mind instead of judging before you see it

I didn't see any caricature joke on BvS or ZSJL that was used as escapism.. So I'm not talking about them

Hohenheim:
Smuag I'm waiting for your review bro

Gunn fan is waiting for Snyder fan to give him his review on Gunn's Superman movie..
Don't worry, it's Sunday I will be going to see it... Already, from what I'm seeing it won't be great. I don't see movie for using certain sub-plots as escapism..

Hohenheim:
Hope say no be this brain you take dey cross road?
You've been hating on a movie for 2 years and the movie is not even out yet. But i should take you serious? Just go watch Rebel Moon or something. And even if the movie flops which it won't, you definitely won't see me shouting release the Guun cut. I'll just move on like a normal person.

Just like how you and your gunntards have been hating on MoS for decade right
If there is award for hypocrisy, then I guess your type will definitely pack it like achievement..

Hohenheim:
You talk too much, just wait for the damn movie to come out.

Exactly how losers behave. Hypocrisy at its peak
All of sudden you have gone cold.
Where are all those strengths you used to talk down on the early DCEU movies, have they disappeared into thin air now..
When you don buy data for me then you go fit cap on how I go use am, no be the ones wey I use my money buy, hypocrite
