Man of Steel? Well, after a huge opening, everyone expected a big fall off the second weekend, but 70%? I know last Friday's number included midnight screenings (not the extra $12 million from the Walmart deal on Thursday), but that's pretty significant. With the competition coming up the next few weeks, it looks like MOS will not even hit $300 domestic now. - Although I'm sure it will be ahead of WW Z every weekend from here on out.
Everything else looks about as expected, but as we've all noticed, Star Trek Into Darkness seems to be falling behind expectations, now looking like it will top out domestically around $225 million. (Adjusted box office wise it will end up 4th in the Trek franchise.) Not bad, per se, but you know Paramount expected more from this film domestically, especially with the 3D premium. At least they were finally able to sell a Star Trek film internationally.
I haven't heard anything about the 3D break down this weekend, but does anyone even care anymore in the US? I'm sure the studios do, somewhat, but most of them are only looking to the international market 3D sales now.

Even with MoS's drop, it still hit $200 million domestically in 11 days (i think) and it's doing fairly well overseas. I'd imagine WB/DC are estatic at the numbers, considering how much the previous Superman movie left everyone feeling.

It isn't? This is the movie DC is putting all their hopes on. I want a fucking Wonder Woman movie.
Rooting for its failure seems more counterproductive, unless you're some Marvel superfan who rveels in every DC failure or have no interest in seeing any of DCs other characters ever get films of their own (which would obviously have different directors and writers).
It's common fucking sense for anyone who isn't braindead.

Tl'dr: You don't give a shit about a DC Cinematic Universe and root for it's failure. Enjoy Antman.

So when Dragon Tattoo said he was in a class with 14-15 year olds, I assume he meant he was one of the students.

Yeah it is but thats the way Hollywood is these days. Front loaded.
As for the DC movie Universe, fuck it. Outside the TDK, this is the third mediocre film they've put out and their JLA hopes reek of copying the success Marvel has had with Phase One. They can't wait to cross that goal line that they keep fumbling inside the red zone.

Happy to see it drop after a huge opening. I want a DC universe on film, but I want it done right- not just a lot of empty soulless spectacle and bad-ass posturing- which is what many of feel MoS is.
Hopefully the big open shows that the enthusiasm is there for the properties when you tease good action, just as the big drop and no legs will show it's worth less if you don't also nail the heart and soul of it.

One good bit of news to this is that maybe the theater won't be so crowded when I go see it again in a few weeks. Gotta hit one of the last IMAX showings.

Hey now, with Edgar Wright directing, Antman might be the least dull movie Marvel has made.

First Friday drop is usually pretty big, you have to keep in mind that it made $9m at midnight, so it technically it made $35m last Friday.
Iron Man 3 technically had the stronger hold since it dropped 71% Friday-to-Friday but made $15.6 at midnight. By comparison, The Dark Knight had a 65% drop friday-to-friday, Dark Knight Rises dropped 76.6%.
My estimates from last weekends thread:
1. Monsters University $85m
2. World War Z $68m
3. Man of Steel $46.5m
4. This is the End $16m
Not even close
(I'm an optimist I guess.) This is the End had a good hold, but I definitely fucked that one up. The best comparison for this movie would be Iron Man 2, not 3. Iron Man 2 opened to $128m, dropped 70.5% in its second Friday (roughly the same as MoS when accounting for differences in Midnights). Running that path, MoS should gross around $275m domestic by the end of its run.
