BOX OFFICE: Updates On KICK-ASS 2, MAN OF STEEL, THE WOLVERINE And More

So many average films this summer. Says a lot that Iron Man 3 was one of the best.

All overt 100 million except for Kick Ass 2.

MOS deserved 1B

@Batmaniac

You're not the only one! It looks like a true sci-fi classic!! I'll be purchasing it on Blu-Ray! College has me completely stuck in the Twilight Zone! lol

Oopsie. Looks like more people went to see Amazing Spidey than Man of Steel haha! Go Spidey! <3

World War Z, Elysium, The Wolverine, Star Trek into Darkness and Man of Steel where all amazingly great films.

WWZ was awesome

I enjoyed all the movies I saw this summer, 'cept for Kick-Ass 2.

Man of Steel mufukas!

I guess MOS Ís out in Japan this weekend.

The only movies I was disappointed by was Elysium and The Lone Ranger (which was genuinely awful).

Man of Steel, Iron Man 3, The Wolverine, and Star Trek Into Darkness were all great and I'm sick of the critic/fanboy hate.

A lot of people didn't take their kids to see Superman after hearing he kills Zod. Unfortunately for those people they don't realize he's killed quite a few times before in the comics and left a lot of villains to die in his earlier days before the Comics Code Authority turned him into a smiling blue scout. Fortunately for the movie it still made quite a good box office haul and now its just been released in Japan, it can only add more to the profits.

Best comic book movie since Watchmen, can't wait to see it on bluray.

@psyboy. No. It didn't.

Everyone calm down about Superman killing Zod. It was necessary.

Wonder Woman kills her enemies.

I dunno what to do with my feelings about Kick-Ass 2. I haven't seen it yet, but I'm just so.. I dunno. Kick-Ass is one of my fave movies. I think that gained another wonderful dimension in the transition to becoming a movie, and I guess I should've realised that a second one was never going to top that.

I wish I hadn't checked out the critical reception beforehand - that I had just gone in fresh with it like I typically do with movies I've looked forward to a great deal. Hopefully I can get around to seeing it in the theater before it's gone.

I did genuinely love most of The Wolverine and I'm glad that's doing well, however. I can go either way on a sequel to that. It doesn't need one, I'm wholly satisfied with the story it told, but I wouldn't mind one either. Provided they stick to a location and keep it intimate and grounded and fairly mutant-less like the first, they have a unique flavour that I wouldn't mind having around as a palette cleanser in-between the X-Men extravaganzas.

Man of Steel disappointed me personally, but I'm glad it did well, because it's a ship worth righting. With Affleck on board my interest really skyrocketed for Batman/Superman, and at this point I just wish DC's trouble-ridden cinematic universe the best. They're off to a rocky start, but since this is the path they've chosen, I just hope it works out.

The rest I had no investment in at all. I haven't even seen Pacific Rim, but I appreciate getting to experience the feeling most general movie-goers must have when they watch trailers for all these comic properties I'm super into. Sometimes there just isn't anything inherently compelling about some of these premises unless you come pre-equipped with nostalgia or love for a property. Had Pacific Rim been Robotech or summat, I would've planted my butt in that theater day 1, but the sole promise of giant robots fighting monsters doesn't really do it for me. It kinda has to hook into something I already cared about. It's sorta interesting....

Anyhoo, yah. May punters keep punting for CBMs for years to come -- we all know it's a phase that will eventually come to an end, and instead of getting costumes wrong in movies we DO GET, we'll get no movies at all. So enjoy 'em while we got 'em people! Don't wish for something to flop just because YOU can tell one super hero from the next, because movie-goers keeping these trends going sure can't.

I have a lot of friends who went traveling this summer and didn't think a movie was their idea of a vacation. With that being said, they told me that they were going to see Man of Steel on BluRay when it comes out in a couple of months.

The article was kind of informative, but the the results don't include the gross from this weekend's release of Man of Steel in Japan. In the next couple of weeks we should see the $657 million figure bump up to $670 million or more.

I thought MOS was the best movie this summer then the wolverine and finally Iron Man 3
