Days of Future Past 'Days Of Future Past' BOX-OFFICE worldwide prediction - Part 1

[JP]

This reminds me of First Class' opening weekend where we ended up $20 million below initial projections.

 

[Liam_H]

If the 2nd weekend really is around $30-33M then the domestic total is gonna finish around like $225M. International has been great but I hoped for more from this side too.

 

[danoyse]

Oy, America....this is why we can't have nice things.

This is gonna struggle to hit $200m

 

[psylockolussus]

30 million is a BIG drop from 90.5 million. But oh well! At least it will already outgross The Wolverine and First Class by Sunday! YAS!

What? Did you mistake this for the ASM2 thread?

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Maybe the Godzilla thread as well?

 

[JP]

Talk me off the ledge!

 

[danoyse]

$200 million seems pretty certain at this point...

 

[danoyse]

talk me off the ledge!

james mcavoy!!!

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Talk me off the ledge!

Fox are still going to make a sequel.

 

[JP]

$200 million seems pretty certain at this point...

Yeah, eventually.

 

[psylockolussus]

200 million in the U.S. is a lock, I think, unless it gets bigger drops in the 3rd/4th weekend.

Right now it's competing against a family film. Next week it's competing for the same demographic with Edge of Tomorrow.

How is that tracking? Everyone I know seems kind of iffy on it.

It makes me sad we live in a world where Transformers is a 1billion+ movie while X-Men is not

It makes me sad we live in a world where Transformers is a 1billion+ movie while X-Men is not

But most of our movies don't suck.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Last time I checked The Fault of Our Stars was tracking better than Edge of Tomorrow.

It doesn't worry me to be honest, at least the X-Men movies are more critically acclaimed than the Transformers movies.

Wow...

The new Tranformers is coming out on my birthday in the US. I've already informed my dad that this is not how we're spending my birthday.

Can't we have it all?

 

[psylockolussus]

No we can't.

 

[Blackout]

That's the point. Awesome movies should be the higher grossing ones

 

[JP]

What's funny is that I told myself we'd probably only make $30m this weekend, and yet I'm still somehow disappointed.
