Under right (or rather, wrong) circumstances, even hundreds of millions of dollars box office expropriation will not protect you as a perceived mistake in place of a hit.
It’s time to explain why, so split your Marlon Brand Crystal Superman is back We’re screwed.
Boo these guys
Before we get into the actual investigation, we feel that we must acknowledge the unpleasant elements of Superman is back.
Two of its main players, manager Brian Singer and Lex Luthor actor Kevin Spacey, are pretty well known in Hollywood, not someone who is not legally responsible.
But it was not publicly known when Superman is back As the theatres hit in 2006, their involvement in the film and their ultimate success or failure were not affected by the less-good allegations.
*Sigh* Now, that discomfort doesn’t get in the way, so set the stage.
Superman’s long-awaited return
Superman is back It was the culmination of years of returns for the iconic pioneer of all superheroes.
Ever since the series’ embarrassing final entry was shopped for the Schlockmeisters Cannon movie in 1987, John Peters, an associate like Warner Bros. and the producer, has been trying to find a way to bring the Steel guy back to the big screen.
Through many unacted projects, including the infamous ones Superman lives there! It was apparently thought that Krypton’s last son would be difficult to crack, as he brought Tim Burton and Kevin Smith.
In the end, things worked out well with Brian Singer, director. X-Men and X2: X-Men Unitedhelps to develop stories that link directly to the previous two Richard Donor films.
The singer was a key figure in the Superhero Naissance and reached the MCU today. He is also an avid fan of Donor’s original films and characters, which may contribute to a big reason. Superman is back It was ultimately considered a failure.
Almost 20 years Superman is back And in the final film, the film has a slightly marginalized quality for its new audience. I’m about to abandon the air of a full reboot, but when it comes to a legal sequel to the Richard Donner Classic, I want to have a cake and eat it.
When we talk about the actual release of the film, we will dig into that aspect later.
It’s too dark to say if it’s a bird or an airplane
For now, that’s Superman is back It is surprisingly monotonous and dark for the stories and characters that are often portrayed as extremely bright.
Until Zack Snyder took more of that monotonous darkness. Angry at the comments, the Snyder Brothers.
But really, it’s strange to see Superman’s outfit, whose bright red cape is now dimly lit chestnut. The film has shots of Superman capes and boots appearing brown or black.
And it’s a lot of visual palette Superman is back: Chilly, muddy, dark. And while that doesn’t seem like a big problem for the audience, I think it contributed to the longevity of the film’s chances of success.
Superman is back and the fantasy of box office revenue
However, this is not a video series, it just makes a personal review of the film and points out the issues that I think are. You are here to learn specific things about why Superman is back It is considered a failure.
And as far as box office revenue is concerned, Superman is back It appears to be successful at face value. It won an international market of $200 million at the domestic box office, plus $191 million.
So how do you turn $391 million into a failure?
According to Box Office Mojo, Superman is back A $270 million budget has been reported, which is equivalent to $430 million today. Low numbers are listed elsewhere, but they are all well above $200 million.
That’s the point Superman is back It was a huge production aimed at kickstarting the potential of a superhero franchise.
And while the critical response to the film was leaning forward, the overall point from the audience doesn’t seem to show a strong desire to see more from this version of the character.
Opening Weekend Cinema Scole Superman is back It was a B+ and not awful, but none of us encouraged if we spent more money than we could imagine in a movie about the guy in tights.
So, Superman is back It didn’t regain the budget at the domestic box office, but that’s not what really made the film a mistake. It was the international box office that was destined to be destined to be Superman is back.
Superman’s true Kryptonite is back
As the 2000s progressed, international markets such as China and Latin America became increasingly important to the film’s huge success. It became very overwhelming in the 2010s Iron Man 3 It included the entire scene featuring Chinese characters only in the Chinese version of the film.
This is to bring home how important the international market was for these tent pole releases. when Superman is back It couldn’t even match the international take and the domestic dollar. Writing was on the wall.
Why didn’t it take the international audience as hard as possible?
There are always a number of factors that will allow a film to watch a time when it’s a big success or a big failure, but in this example, I think it’s clear that the key element of a film that connects with audiences around the world is its dual nature, as a reboot and a sequel.
We Americans tend to assume that our popular media is just as well known all over the world as our own coast. There was clearly an idea Superman is back The people are looking to return to the Richard Donner version of the characters and world, recreating the opening titles of the film, using the unforgettable John Williams theme in the film (and can’t let James Gunn go either).
However, this view did not reinvigorate viewers all over the world, as decades have been between the decline in the film’s connections with his pop culture. It felt strangely old hats, and the new, unknown actor stepped into one of the most beloved and memorable performances in cinema history.
Brandon Rouse has no shade. I think he does what he asked in the film. I’m happy he took another shot at DC Comic Stardom on TV.
However, these international markets were enough for Warner Bros. to declare the film net-negative. Plans for the sequel were scrapped – the ultimate franchise failure – and Kal-EL was then hit the big screen. Seven years later, it will earn $291 million at the domestic box office and $379 million at the international market.
And it got its sequel, it’s okay!
What happened to the man tomorrow?
Superman is back These days it’s a strange movie, and it’s packed firmly between films of the past and future. It feels more like a strange footnote to the history of Superman films than one of his biggest productions.
Thank you for the overstated and offensive fandom for interpreting Zack Snyder’s character, Superman is back It is called out from its relevance and debate, and is often treated as something forgotten.
Although certain aspects of the film deserve absolute irrelevant, Superman is back It doesn’t deserve to be completely abandoned. I’m no longer a huge fan of the film, but the failure is far more interesting than both versions Justice League It was.
