Posted by David (aka David) Apr 20 '15, 12:12

There will be four years of box office inflation from 2012 to its release in 2016.

Responses:

for posterity I'll say $185m -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 20, 13:08
$1, Bob. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 20, 12:50
135mil. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 20, 12:49
$207.5 million -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 20, 12:38 16
- as of right now, there is no way that movie opens to 200 million. nm -- nm - Gjallargroin Apr 20, 13:00 15
  - I consider $165 million its worst case result. -- nm - David Apr 20, 13:07 1
    - I see a new Batman that many are not thrilled about, and a WTF teaser as of now. - Gjallargroin Apr 20, 13:09
  - 200+ easy -- nm - Remlik Apr 20, 13:03 12
    - As long as the trailers are good, agreed. -- nm - Ultron Apr 20, 13:05
    - maybe by the time it comes out, I will change my mind, but as of now, it looks like cheese. nm -- nm - Gjallargroin Apr 20, 13:04 10
      - it's a teaser with exactly about 25 seconds of actual movie footage. -- nm - Remlik Apr 20, 13:05 9
        
        Yeah, you can not judge it by the teaser. Unless it is Guardians of the Galaxy, and then you now it is gold. -- nm - Ultron Apr 20, 13:06 7
        
        people I know who are not really into movies, are making fun of the trailer. - Gjallargroin Apr 20, 13:08 6
        
        I would not be surprised if that line is not even in the movie. - Ultron Apr 20, 13:14
        
        Yeah, remember the GotG teaser? Even people here mocked it. -- nm - Ultron Apr 20, 13:13 1
        
        for sure, and that looked like an Oscar worthy teaser compared to this one. nm -- nm - Gjallargroin Apr 20, 13:14
        
        If HSX has taught you anything it should be that you and those around you aren't enough of a sample size. - Mel Profit Apr 20, 13:11 1
        
        no, this is true, but I also know we tend to view things different than most. - Gjallargroin Apr 20, 13:13
        
        "Nobody Makes Me Bleed My Own Blood ..." -- nm - Wite Apr 20, 13:10
        
        and those 25 seconds are pure cheddar. nm -- nm - Gjallargroin Apr 20, 13:06
Why would they make Batman fight Superman? That's depressing. 135. -- nm - Loyola Apr 20, 12:27 37
- I agree with Guigue. Superman is a God amongst us mortals. And he is fighting a guy who is afraid of bats - amoxy Apr 20, 12:36 21
  - Batman will probably cheat and use kryptonite? -- nm - Loyola Apr 20, 12:45 14
    - When MoS was released, Snyder commented that Kryptonite does not exist. - Ultron Apr 20, 12:51 3
      - B2 superman MoS spoils question; - Loyola Apr 20, 12:58 2
        
        Spoils - TWuG Apr 20, 13:03
        
        spoil - Ultron Apr 20, 13:02
    - It's not cheating to use the only weakness the God was given. - Will Hunting Apr 20, 12:48 9
      - On its face it seems like this movie should be a lot like Bambi vs. Godzilla. -- nm - pmb Apr 20, 12:59 3
        
        Until you think of it as their brains. Then it is Einstein vs Yahoo Serious. - Ultron Apr 20, 13:00 2
        
        or, some rich 1% with lots of fancy expensive toys vs. a down-home country farmerboy -- nm - decline Apr 20, 13:03 1
        
        "World's Greatest Detective" versus "Big Blue Boy Scout" is how it should be, but it's more like Spawn says in the - TWuG Apr 20, 13:04
      - Superman's not a god if he has a weakness. But batman is toast unless he breaks out the kryptonite. -- nm - Loyola Apr 20, 12:55 2
        
        Well, he's as close to god in comics as exists. I'm pretty sure they had to invent Kryptonite to make him actually vulnerable. - Will Hunting Apr 20, 12:57 1
        
        He also can not handle magic, but that is not in the movie universe, yet. -- nm - Ultron Apr 20, 13:03
      - yep it's not cheating to use silver bullets -- nm - z babbling galaxy Apr 20, 12:52
      - You're cheating by using Loyola's only weakness. -- nm - Roger More Apr 20, 12:52
  - Uhm... you clearly do not know much about Batman. -- nm - Ultron Apr 20, 12:38 1
    - Well, we sat next to each other in Social Studies 10th grade! -- nm - amoxy Apr 20, 12:44
  - "Afraid of"? No. He was inspired by bats. -- nm - TWuG Apr 20, 12:37 3
    - He fears nothing. - Beryllium Apr 20, 12:39 2
      - You mean the guy with bat radar? -- nm - Ultron Apr 20, 12:40 1
        
        "Bats aren't blind." -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 12:40
- "That's depressing" So you've seen the trailer? :-) - TWuG Apr 20, 12:35 7
  - But its "set" more in reality - eag Apr 20, 12:47 5
    - No, it isn't "more realistic" than the MCU, it's just "darker" because Snyder is one dimensional and thinks "dark" = "serious" - TWuG Apr 20, 12:57 4
      - I will say this, hopefully they have a course set for Superman where he finds his way into the light. - Ultron Apr 20, 13:08
      - A better example is the Daredevil series - eag Apr 20, 13:05 2
        
        Haven't watched it yet. But plan to. -- nm - TWuG Apr 20, 13:06 1
        
        Well without going into spoilers - eag Apr 20, 13:10
  - Just now. Very like Batman 3. -- nm - Loyola Apr 20, 12:43
- See B2. -- nm - Ultron Apr 20, 12:32 6
  - Ah, thanks. -- nm - Loyola Apr 20, 12:42 5
    - I get what you are saying, though. The other explanation? - Ultron Apr 20, 12:46 4
      - I think they should fight over a girl, like Batman steals Superman's girl, and Superman goes beserk. - Loyola Apr 20, 12:51 3
        
        More like, Bruce Wayne steals her. So Clark goes Superman on him only to run into Batman, who kicks his ass. And then Bruce dumps Lois and move on. -- nm - Ultron Apr 20, 12:54 2
        
        That would work. That trailer needs a Lois. -- nm - Loyola Apr 20, 13:00
        
        What if the plot of the movie is basically Mr and Mrs. Smith? - oblique Apr 20, 12:56
100-125 -- nm - professor smartbrain Apr 20, 12:23 1
- Think less Superman, more Batman. -- nm - Ultron Apr 20, 12:39
MoS opened at $116 million, so I'll go ahead and say Batman adds about $80 million to that. So about $200 million opening. -- nm - TWuG Apr 20, 12:18 3
- I'm seeing more like Blart 2 numbers -- nm - decline Apr 20, 12:21 1
  - I will bet you my house, then. -- nm - Ultron Apr 20, 12:22
- Yeah, it is already at 200 mil for me. The first trailer will add to, or possibly take some away. -- nm - Ultron Apr 20, 12:20
150 -- nm - eag Apr 20, 12:17 2
- this works for me too -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 12:27 1
  - If it comes within 50 mil of Cap 3 opening week i would be suprised -- nm - eag Apr 20, 12:31
85 million -- nm - amoxy Apr 20, 12:16 3
- Just to be clear, that's barely half of The Dark Knight Rises. It's also $40 million less than Man of Steel. -- nm - David Apr 20, 12:19 2
  - I am letting my personal opinions about the movie cloud my judgement -- nm - amoxy Apr 20, 12:30 1
    - Heh, I appreciate your honesty. -- nm - David Apr 20, 12:33
I need to see the first real trailer before making an estimate. -- nm - Ultron Apr 20, 12:13
