I love it.

Me too.

China 7/20. Japan 9/9. So those Japan #'s should be a great push. X2 did 16.2 million from those 2 countries. So figure mabey 20 million more right there.

LOL...so that's 2 of the 3 spinoffs they have planned that you're not going to boycott?

Yes it will be. I said 400 to 450 million, before opening. 400 looks doeable. 450 ? Another 120 million ? Does this movie have 60 million more from domestic sales ?

Advanced Dark · 06-10-2006, 09:35 PM

Your #'s are still wrong. Your missing international Mon-Thur of last week totally 146 million.

Those numbers are very good in light of last week's drop, as it put's the film well on course for $250 million. There was some rumblings amongst the usual grippers about last weekends drp, but The movie looks to hit $200 million this week, so this film trilogy has been VERY successful.

Advanced Dark · 06-10-2006, 11:50 PM

Yep. It passed Ice Age today though the numbers aren't official to Monday as the top film of the year. Superman is getting some really kick ass reviews right now but I think Pirates might cannibalize it. X3 doesn't have any major action competition till Superman so it should hold out ok.

I don't think so. X3 just jumped the shark. When crappy remakes of the Omen are outdrawing you, you know the movie hit it's peak already.

The fact that a movie that has the largest memorial day weekend opening, isn't going to make 300 million domestically is a huge dissapointment.

Where have you been?? The box office has been like this for a while now.

Advanced Dark · 06-11-2006, 01:19 AM

Oh I know red. Like before X3 came out that anyone expected it to really hit 300 million domestic. The opening weekend was awesome for Fox and frontloaded films are the way of the business now.

Haha . . . I think there were some optimists on these boards predicting it would make over 300 million . . . Hell, the way it was being hyped you would have thought it would be the superhero movie to end all superhero movies . . .

Advanced Dark · 06-11-2006, 01:28 AM

^ It was an awesome final chapter to this trilogy. I look at it as a chapter and not just a stand alone film. I loved it. I wish they'd edit it together with X2 as one film.

BMM · 06-11-2006, 01:43 AM

Well, for me, I think all movies should be able to be stand on their own. Of course, when dealing with these films, some things obviously would have to be carried over with a pre-existing knowledge, i.e. the death of Jean Grey, but I think it speaks more to the power of a film if it's able to stand on its own legs without relying too heavily on previous films. I wish FOX wouldn't have been so quick to pigeonholed this series into being a trilogy. I can see where you would like X2 and X3 edited together though. I don't think I would so much, because for me, I felt there was a noticeable difference in style and tone. It will be interesting to see how X3 settles over the next few weeks.

RedIsNotBlue · 06-11-2006, 02:23 AM

A lot of this big blockbusters in the past year have disappointed in some form or another even though they were successful. It is a combination of ticket prices, people waiting for dvd, piracy, etc.

Fanticon · 06-11-2006, 05:30 AM

I'll admit I thought it was gonna hit 300million...and after that opening weekend I thought I should've put money on it...but then that second weekend drop was very steep...and at this point I just hope overall it does atleast pass X2's take and the world wide take...Thats just cuz I want to see more of these films...And I really did get the feeling that people were very excited to see this film...the general public I mean...But lately its getting harder to predict...so...even those Boxoffice prediction websites were correctly pinning it at 215-230m...many of them also under predicted the opening weekend...its just hard to tell even when studios claim their films are tracking well...almost none of this matters anymore. Movies used to be successful domestically and everything else was profit...now...a movie needs to get by on both the domestic and international take to break even...and then DVD sales will have to be the deciding profitable factor.

with X2 opening weekend it should have done 250 million but it didn't so that movie too was dissapointing.

Milkman95 · 06-11-2006, 10:07 AM

With another sizable drop this weekend, X3 will be lucky to hit $230m.

Carp Man · 06-11-2006, 11:18 AM

Ok. X3's estimated #'s are in for the weekend. Updated #'s below. $ 15,550,000 for weekend estimate. $ 62.8 million for Cars, 20.5 million for Break Up. then X-Men. so X-Men finished 3rd this weekend. 54.3 % drop from last weekend.

Disapointing ? What the hell is disapointing about a film that will make over 400 million ?

GL's Light · 06-11-2006, 11:23 AM

The daily breakdowns for the weekend estimate:

Fri - $ 4.8 million

Yea well you will always have the other side finding the glass half empty. I perfer to look at what it has done in setting records for it's opening weekend. It had the 2nd best opening day EVER behind ROTS. Not even BB can claim that. It had the best Memorial day weekend ever. So let the DC fanboys have their doom and gloom party. We shall see how SR does it's 2nd weekend, when POTC 2 fires a cannon ball right into Sups gut.

invincible mann · 06-11-2006, 11:31 AM

still couldnt beat the break up?
surprising

At least it'll be a worthy film, not the Break-Up.
