“Superman” Tracking, Stinger & Terrific Talk

Early projections for the box-office opening of James Gunn’s “Superman” are starting to roll out with Box-Office Theory indicating projections for the movie’s domestic opening weekend range anywhere from $140-185 million.

If accurate, the lowest end of that estimate would have it as the fourth highest opening DC movie ever behind only “Batman v Superman,” “The Dark Knight Rises” and “The Dark Knight” which all hover in the $158-166 million range.

The talk comes as lots more information about the film continues to roll out daily. Gunn confirms the film has a post-credits scene but it “may not be exactly what audiences have come to expect” he tells EW.

He adds his philosophy about post-credit scenes comes to him from his time at Marvel – namely expect it to be more standalone Howard the Duck-style from the first “Guardians of the Galaxy” as opposed to setting up another project like he did on the first “Guardians” sequel.

Actor Edi Gathegi also spoke with EW and says that unlike his one-and-done role of Darwin in “X-Men: First Class” over at Marvel, his role in this film as Mister Terrific is expected to continue beyond this movie: “This job is kind of undoing the wrongs of Darwin. I know that as it stands right now, this isn’t the only project that I’ll be in.”

Also recently posted was a ‘Day in the Life’ style video in which Skyler Gisondo shows off his day in character as Jimmy Olsen working at the Daily Planet. Turns out this Jimmy has some serious rizz too.
