BOX OFFICE: Final Numbers For MAN OF STEEL's Opening Weekend Revealed
The last few days have seen various predictions and official numbers pour in, but now that the weekend is over, we have the final figures for both Man of Steel's three and four day totals at the North American box office. Hit the jump for details!
After taking an additional $36.3 million on Sunday, the Zack Snyder directed and Christopher Nolan produced Man of Steel's new totals are $116.7 million for the three day weekend and a four-day total of $128.7 million (that's $3 million more than expected). To put that into perspective for you, Superman Returns' three-day total was $52 million, The Amazing Spider-Man's (another high profile reboot) earned $62 million and Marvel's The Avengers took a whopping $207 million. However you look at it, this was a great start for Man of Steel! The worldwide cume for the movie is now $200.3 million and it has gone down as having the best June opening of all-time domestically.
In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Henry Cavill) is a young twenty-something journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond his imagination. Transported years ago to Earth from Krypton, a highly advanced, distant planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question 'Why am I here?' Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Diane Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner), Clark discovers having extraordinary abilities means making difficult decisions. When the world is in dire need of stability, an even greater threat emerges. Clark must become a Man of Steel, to protect the people he loves and shine as the world’s beacon of hope – Superman.
