What Movie Are You Watching Now? (4455395 Views)
DieRich5: 3:08am On May 15 |
Superman Trailer looks good and dark but hyping it based on trailer this days….that I won’t do it’s will be hard for the movie to cross or hit 1B mark when this movies are also airing same month: Smurfs Jurassic World Rebirth The Fantastic Four: First Steps The Old Guard 2 2 Likes |

abduleez1: I liked the trailer because it reminds me of the greatest superman film made so far: Man Of Steel. This has the potential to be second best. |

DieRich5:The Old Guard 2 is not a theatrical release but i totally get your point. A very tough ask for a movie to make a bill these days, harder still, when it has to compete with a heavy bo return magnet like Jurassic World: Rebirth, which is the only realistic competitor going by the list you have up there. Infact, only 4 movies have cross 1bill since 2024 till date and only 2 movies, has crossed 800m this year even..so tough... tough ask imo. |

Illusioneffect:How does it compare to Dead reckoning? |
abduleez1(m): 9:19am On May 15 |
Holy shït.....this is damning. I never really fully enjoyed DEAD RECKONING cos it seemed heavy with convoluted plotlines than the actual action we've come to enjoy. With this one, I guess they can now kiss goodbye to a $600mn final gross. 🤔🧐

DieRich5: Lol, The Old Guard 2 is a Netflix movie. And even if it releases in theatres, it can't even be a threat to SUPERMAN at all. It's not really an anticipated blockbuster, let's be serious. SMURFS doesn't even pose any challenge also despite being a family film, lol. That franchise has been dwindling over the years. The last film in 2017 didn't even $200mn worldwide. That's even pre-pandemic era, so who's gonna spend their money on that now? Film wey gross $45mn in North America? I'm a fan of that franchise and have been watching every 2010s released movie, so I know what I'm saying. Fantastic Four, it looks good so far but it also can't shake the franchise poor record both critic's wise and box office wise. It might be a really good film but I doubt this one is escaping the bad rep its gotten over the years at Fox. We all saw how good TSS was but couldn't escape that stinker in 2016's Suicide Squad. If F4 does fantastically well, I see a gross not more than $650mn and this is pretty optimistic. If it does as expected, around a $450-550mn because of the MCU. The real challenge to me is JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH. Obviously that franchise is a surefire billion dollars spinner. So, it's going to be tough going up against it. But still, I have a weird feeling this one might not hit the $1bn mark everyone keeps shouting or has come to expect from the franchise. 1 Like |

abduleez1:the reason why I added SMURFS it because family movies and cartoons has been doing well since 2023 and it’s will be released 7 days after Superman which will slow it down and I believe it will hit 500m mark with Rihanna as the main character |
DieRich5: 11:49am On May 15 |
oyaskii:the only Superman movies that hit 800M mark is because everyone wants to see Batman beat Superman even Justice League with that hype didn’t do justice 1 Like |

DieRich5: With Rihanna? $500mn?? Ok na. ![]() SUPERMAN is also a family movie in case you forgot. And casual moviegoers would have had their fill of family movies with films like HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, LILO AND STITCH, JURASSIC WORLD and ELIO all releasing before Smurfs. Smurfs doesn't have that wow factor to give you FOMO or any hype to it. But these films all do. So I barely see an interest in that film. |

DieRich5:Only one DCU movie has hit 1bn, in the entire time the franchise has been on (or off), so they don't really hold a lot of trust among movie goers, because of how they have let them down before, but this new supes holds promise based on the sheer popularity of the character, and it been marketed as the one to herald, a supposedly good era for the franchise going forward. But too many dynamics going into these things these days hence it is very difficult for me, to boldly predict, "so, so and so movie will make 1 bill". Chief among these dynamic, is that, people really aren't just "excited" about movies like that anymore...compared to say, like 10 years ago. |

abduleez1:seriously I forget about all this movies at the bold, J-W ain’t among will be released soon Now just imagine Superman being at the middle of all this films and DC movie did numbers. Smurfs will likely be at 200m and Superman will likely be at 600/650m because of that Super dog anyway let see how it all plays How to Train Your Dragon is the only movie I’ll be paying to watch and wait the rest for site |
