Weekend Box Office: Man of Steel drop to #3 with $41.2 Million with a total domestic gross of $210 Million in 9 days!

The second weekend box office for Man of Steel starring  (Clark Kent/Kal-El) & Amy Adams (Lois Lane), while it's down (as expected and not surprisingly so) about 64% in its second week, it passed the $200 million mark (the 5th film this year to do so) to $210 million in its 9 days (whereas back in 2006, Superman Returns entire run, its lifetime domestic gross, was even below than MOS current 9-day grossed, with just $200 Million in 128 days) and saw its worldwide total soar to almost $400 million (also surpassing SR's worldwide run of just $391 Million) in just 11 days! Yay, for MOS! So happy and was not expecting for this film to already passed over $200 million so soon and its worldwide total to speed up very close to $400 million (it's $398.3 million est. thus far) in less than 2 weeks...not too mentioned already surpassing both SR's entire domestic and worldwide total run. I'd say that's amazing and pretty impressive for MOS and definitely a huge success in both the general audience and its current BO numbers. The sequel is definitely happening for this movie! I hope Warner Bros. Pictures will announced and confirmed the sequel for MOS with a release date very soon. I'm very much looking forward to it! For now, I'm happy for MOS and (will enjoy watching) its current theatrical release (I've seen it 4 times now and hope to see it at least a couple more times or more for as long as the film is still in theaters! Yes! Loved the movie so much, it gets better with its new viewing!) BO success (esp. for an origin/reboot film). Can't wait for the DVD/Blu-ray release!

Anyway, Deadline has an interesting MOS worldwide box office article...

‘Man Of Steel’ Speeds To $400M Worldwide: Superman Still #1 Box Office Internationally

SUNDAY 11 AM UPDATE: The Superman reboot continues as a super-hit internationally. Here and overseas, Warner Bros’ and Legendary Pictures’ holdover 3D Man Of Steel (4,207 theaters in the widest release) went into this weekend as still the big #1 leader in the worldwide marketplace.

With $210M from its domestic gross in just 11 days, this third Superman franchise now has a huge worldwide total of $398.3M. That includes nearly $35M on exactly 600 worldwide IMAX screens, including the $3.2M opening weekend in China where IMAX screens represent 12.5% of the country’s movie gross. The pic has played very strong throughout Asia (see Korean poster) and, in China alone, grosses were an outstanding $25.5M from roughly 5,631 screens, taking a lion’s share of the market. Opening day took almost 80% marketshare for Warner Bros’ 2nd highest opening day behind only the Harry Potter finale. Read full article here.

Yay, great and impressive US opening weekend debut for Man of Steel starring  (Clark Kent/Kal-El) & Amy Adams (Lois Lane). Now playing in theaters near you! The film set new record for June! With an "A-" CinemaScore from general audience and a solid word-of-mouth, Man of Steel, made an impressive estimated total of $113 $116.6 million weekend debut (not counting the $12 million it earned Thursday night, but it's added for its 4 day total to $125 $128.6 million!!!!).

Man of Steel soars to $21 Million Thursday night/midnight screenings!

'Man of Steel' Sets Sights on June Record

Friday AM Update: Before regular Friday shows even begin, Man of Steel has already taken in an estimated $21 million. It earned $12 million from Thursday night's Wal-Mart screening program, and an additional $9 million from general midnight shows. While the Wal-Mart shows throw off the calculation a bit, this is without-a-doubt a very strong start for a non-sequel, and it's very likely that the movie winds up with at least $100 million through Sunday.

Note: Because the Wal-Mart shows occured exclusively on Thursday, Box Office Mojo will be recording those grosses on that day.

Forecast: With an incredibly strong brand and an aggressive, bold marketing effort, Man of Steel is set to fly high this weekend—so high, in fact, that it's almost guaranteed to set a new opening weekend record for the month of June.

‘Man Of Steel’ Soars With $134.4M Through Sunday Including $51M Friday And $122.4M Weekend; Begins Global With Asian Records
FRIDAY 7:30 PM, 3RD UPDATE: It’s already setting records for the biggest opening for June and the second biggest weekend opening of 2013 as Warner Bros’ and Legendary Pictures’ Man Of Steel (4,207 theaters with 3D in 3,357 venues) is flying high at the domestic box office today. My sources have now increased their estimates to $51M Friday, $124.4M for the three-day weekend, and $134.4M for the four-day cume through Sunday. The only other movie in the North American marketplace in wide release, Sony/Columbia Pictures’ This Is The End (3,055 theaters) which opened Wednesday as a counter-programming apocalyptic comedy is looking like $8M for Friday, $20.8M for the 3-day weekend, and $33.1M for the 5-day cume. Refined numbers later.
