Who Wins World Wide B.O.: MoS or Pacific Rim?

I think Pacific Rim has a shot at raking in more scrilla than the Man of Steel. What say you?

I say we need a new thread every week pitting MoS vs. each summer movie this year.

I'm not sure about raking in more scrilla, but I think it will make more money.

I think Man of Steel will make a metric fuckton of money. Box office champ for the year.

Not Superman, but more that WWZ, yes.

I think Pac Rim has the potential to be huge, especially overseas.

Hopefully in terms of box-office, but not filmwise, because Real Steel is a piece of shit film. I hate that fucking movie.

Man of Steel.

Us movie nerds love Del Toro. And we all encourage his style of unique filmmaking. But Pacific Rim is still a risky movie. Man of Steel is a stamped and certified guaranteed commercial success.

MOS - 500 minimum (evenly split)
Pac Rim - 350 at best (100 domestic, 250 foreign)

I think Man of Steel wins by far.

...The fuck is "scrilla"?

I must be getting old.


And I think we can all agree that Now You See Me will be this Summer's box office champ. It's only common sense.

Re: Who Wins World Wide B.O.: MoS or Pacific Rim?

Between these 2 movies, Man of Steel easily. Ony DVDTalk nerds have a hard on for Monsters, Robots and Del Toro. Rest of the world's pretty indifferent I think. But that S shield is one of the most recognizable symbols in the known universe.

How is Pacific Rim getting so much box office hype online? It isn't going to be a monster hit, or is this all in the "Good Burger" vein?

Anyone who even thinks this movie is going to be successful is delirious.

Man of Steel will beat PR. No doubt about that. I'm still iffy on seeing in how big PR will be. But I think it has a chance to surprise but realistically a new property like PR won't beat Superman. Superman is too big in comparison. And if it is actually a good movie too? Shit. Supes will rape what he can after what SR did to the property.

Man of Steel easily. Minimum $750 million ww. Del Toro has yet to direct a blockbuster hit and it won't be happening this year either.
