WWZ $200 million Man of Steel $225 million -- nm - amoxy Jun 23, 10:59 12
- I thought they were close, but then WWZ's opening is being spun as a success so I wondered. - Dano Jun 23, 11:10 11
  - WWZ was in danger of opening to $30 million six months ago. They saved it. WB pulled out all the stops for MOS yet it still died this weekend. -- nm - David Jun 23, 12:47 5
    - Yet (unless there's a big difference in international) Man of Steel will still turn out to be a better investment. -- nm - Dano Jun 23, 12:57 4
      - That depends upon the domestic to foreign box office split as well as the negative costs of both. - David Jun 23, 13:13 3
        
        I'm thinking that WWZ fans will be more likely to buy the DVD than MOS fans -- nm - zork Jun 23, 14:34
        
        Advertising budgets are always hazier to me than even the production budget because you never know who paid for what with marketing partnerships. - Dano Jun 23, 13:36 1
        
        I don't think anyone (reasonable) is calling it a bomb but it is looking like another opportunity cost loss for WB. -- nm - David Jun 23, 14:52
  - $75M of WWZ's budget was from last-minute re-shoots to fix the movie, and has had a lot of high profile news about what a mess it was going to be. - Roger More Jun 23, 12:19 3
    - Next one? -- nm - JaxSean Jun 23, 12:58 2
      - trilogy -- nm - SpawnDroid Jun 23, 13:35
      - World War ZZ! (I'm not saying it will happen, but it could happen - unlike, say, John Carter 2. Or Battleship 2) -- nm - Roger More Jun 23, 13:29
  - It's a mad mad mad mad world. -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 11:12
