Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ “Man of Steel” has opened to a stellar opening of £11.2 million in the UK and Ireland, marking the biggest opening day of 2013 and the second biggest opening weekend of the year. The announcement was made today by Josh Berger, President and Managing Director, Warner Bros. UK and Ireland.
From the Irish point of view, Man Of Steel raked in a whopping €1.29 million, making it the biggest opening weekend in Ireland this year!
“We’re thrilled at the tremendous response we’ve seen from audiences to Zack Snyder’s exciting new vision of the iconic Super Hero,” said Berger. “Man of Steel has proven to be the must-see film of the summer.”
Just goes to show that the demand for the character is (and always was) gigantic. Stateside, the movie has pulled in $125,080,000 and Foreign grosses at $71,600,000 giving a grand old total of just under $200 million ($196,680,000). With an estimate budget of $225,000,000 (it’s all about the 0s today) it’s got quite a way to go before it starts turning some serious profit. But given it’s made about $100 Million (enough of the 0s) from product placement, it’s going to be sooner rather than later I’d reckon!
