2GOLD 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2006 Wow, I thought it would do more than 52 million. Then again, fourth of july weekend and the weather FINALLY being nice down here at the beaches after three weeks of rain rain rain might have effected the numbers for it. Still, very good weekend indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Fett 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2006 Why didn’t 'Strangers With Candy' get a wider release? Only 2 theaters played it, but the movie earned an average of $22,250 per theater. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NYankees Report post Posted July 2, 2006 And they got 84... 84 for it's first 5 days not opening 3 day weekend. Thats almost Hulk like numbers which came out in 2003 and did 64 million for it's opening weekend. Superman making so little is not a good sign especially with POTC Dead Mens Chest coming out next weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob_barron 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2006 It's running behind what War of the Worlds and Spider-Man 2 did the previous two years, but is running ahead of Batman Begins, T:3 and King Kong all did in its first 5 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mole 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2006 It had pretty good numbers, but not as good as I thought it would do. I was looking at it beating Spiderman 2, but whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZGangsta 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2006 Aquaman did. I was thinking the same thing, LOL. 116 million for it's opening weekend. Yeah but that was James Cameron guys. And I could see Batman Begins 2 (or whatever they call it) doing numbers up there since the first was so well recieved (and had insane legs at the box office) and this one will have Joker in it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt Angle Mark 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2006 DC characters will never be able to do the Spiderman-type numbers. Just a fact of life.

Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2006 There was an Aquaman movie? And just a side note I guess, did a search for Aquaman on IMDB since I had never heard of the movie (didn't find it either) and evidently there's going to be an Aquaman series starting this year, by the creators of Smallville. Which is sort of cool I guess, if youre a Smallville/aquaman fan that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mole 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2006 No, there wasn't an Aquaman movie. It was something from Entourage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vyce 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2006 I think you can. Why? Because now all I want to fucking see is a Aquaman movie made by James Cameron. Unfortunately, a 116 million opening would only cover like half of his budget for the film. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2006 That's kind of the point though. Superman drew major money in 1978 and Batman drew big in 1989. For the past 15-20 years though Marvel has been much more popular than DC. I do think the next Batman movie will make more than the Begins did. Let's face it, Begins had some things going against it and it still did 200 million or so domestic. It had to overcome the Schumacher films and the bad taste those left, as well as the fact that it was lacking a real money drawing villain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My point was that if there had already been a really good Spiderman movie made in a previous decade then the current Spiderman movies wouldn't have done the same box office because of a "been there done that" effect Anyway I think there is one DC Character that can draw "Spiderman" huge if done correctly and that is GREEN LANTERN You could have the most visually appealing powers ever on screen Plus make it a space adventure with the Green Lantern Corps and the Guardians and Sci-Fi geeks will be going into a frenzy.

Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2006 ah come on man, there's no way a Green Lantern movie could get close to Spider-Man numbers if Superman and Batman couldn't even do it...outside of us dorks, the casual movie fan(and even comic book fan in some cases) doesn't know Lantern like they know the other 3. It'd get FF4/Daredevil/Punisher numbers at best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vampiro69 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2006 Personally I would love to see the Flash come to the big screen. Let Ryan Reynolds play Wally West/Flash. The villians is harder to determine although I think the best choices would be Captain Cold, Mirror Master and Weather Wizard. I also heard that a Captain Marvel (DC) is in the works. Anyone know if that is true? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
