The second weekend box office for
Man of Steel starring Henry Cavill (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...
