Though my predictions for the Rotten Tomatoes were way way off, it looks that the film will exceed at least one of my predictions. I predicted that Man Of Steel would gross 103 million this weekend, and if the numbers are correct it's looking to gross upwards to 125 million. If you add the Wal-mart special screenings with the midnight you have the gross of 21 million, and it has been said through Friday it will have grossed around 56 million. Of course nothing is said and done until Sunday when the reports are released, but Warner Brothers should be happy with those numbers.
It may fall behind the 174 million put up by this years Iron Man 3, but it would be unfair to compare it to that. Iron Man 3 was riding the momentum of The Avengers, one of the highest grossing films of all time. While Man Of Steel is a reboot coming off the under performing Superman Returns. Unfortunately, i believe there is little chance it will return next week as a leader. Newcomers World War Z and more so than that Monsters University should knock the illustrious Superhero down from the top of the food chain. If the film has some legs, via good word of mouth (not from critics) than the film can continue to rack in the cash throughout next month. There is a lot of films coming out that will draw children and adult away from the film. We will continue to watch it as it strives to reach the billion dollar mark.
