Worldwide Gross: $483 million(inflation adjusted)


big hit, although Man Of Steel was a much bigger hit with $693 million

reply

Neither were big hits.
Double production budget to get real cost of movie.
Returns made very little. Essentially a bomb (that's why no sequels for Routh and Singer).
Steel made some money but not Marvel money. (That's why no Superman sequels without JL characters)

MOS was a bigger hit than the first Captain America, the first two Thors, and I think the first two Iron Man movies. It made money before it was even released. I just don't get the ways people twist box office numbers.

Bull$h!t. THis film was a big hit. It grossed more than Batman Begins worldwide.

Man, I've been gone for years and people are STILL spreading the same lies!

Aquaman: 15% Off, you say? By Poseidon, those savings are OUTRAGEOUS!

reply

Nope-not a big hit at all.
It made 391 million with an almost 200 million budget (double that for marketing)

It basically cut even which means bomb when youre talking those numbers

Batman Begins made 374 million on a 150 million budget (double that for marketing.
Batman Begins made almost about 74 million

Come on, dude-its not hard to do the math here ...

Im at Fox in production-we know budgeting here.

Where do you work?

Everything you said is wrong

No, Tard, its all true.

I looked again and they actually lost money since studio doesn't get 100% of doemstcui box office (they split it with theaters) and internationally they get less than 50% in some territories.

That's why Singer wasn't asked to do a sequel.

What secret info do you have about how film box office? Enlighten us because this is the standard accounting.
