The thing is that it dropped pretty drastically in China already, which means it won't keep pace with Furious 7 much longer. I still think $900 Million can happen, though.ottensamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09653631895217229875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5935799542324632108.post-47287166340008926162016-04-04T06:15:52.241-07:002016-04-04T06:15:52.241-07:00Revised estimates for BvS's second weekend hav...Revised estimates for BvS's second weekend have it now at a 68% drop instead of a 71% drop. Of the movies that opened above $100M domestically (36 movies), 4 had even bigger drops than BvS. The big question remains whether it will hit $1 Billion worldwide by the end of its run. I still think it will.ottensamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09653631895217229875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5935799542324632108.post-22045263427982179442016-04-04T06:12:48.780-07:002016-04-04T06:12:48.780-07:00I feel the same way, that it's this great piec...I feel the same way, that it's this great piece of art -- like literature but also with amazing action -- but people are just missing it. WB could have gone the crowd-pleasing route like Star Wars or Jurassic Park, but I feel like BvS is up on another level from that stuff. It's too bad the audience doesn't appreciate it more.<br /><br />With regard to your point about "unconventional masterpieces" I think it was Clay Enos (the BvS still-photographer) who said that creative works of genius like this that push the envelope are very often criticized when they first come out.ottensamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09653631895217229875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5935799542324632108.post-73770180838509613422016-04-03T22:01:02.239-07:002016-04-03T22:01:02.239-07:00It's a shame, really, that so many people were...It's a shame, really, that so many people were quick to let their prejudices and close-mind take over their judgement. That such a great film like this would receive such undeserved criticism that is slightly harming what should've been one of the most (if not THE most) successful superhero films ever.<br /><br />But I guess that is the price unconventional masterpieces that breaks cliches and defies expectations has to pay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
