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

[BlackFox]

Just had my 5th viewing. Going again on Tuesday for a 6th. Anyone else up there with me lol? At least in Aus I'm contributing.

I have to wait till next week to see it again

 

[WC Avengers]

Deadline.com currently is tracking Xmen at a 8.1 million Friday and a 28-32 weekend.

They are saying if these numbers hold it is in the arena of HULK and GREEN LANTERN drop/flop status?

wow!!

I need to go see it again..... 6th time for me. This film makes you want to see it more than once which is why colliders 25-27 million and deadlines 28-32 are weird numbers man.


my theatre was packed last night.

They are also tracking maleficent at 79-85 million. looks to be the sleeper box office frozen type run. is it that good? anyone seen it yet?

 

[WC Avengers]

Maleficent made 20.1 million in International numbers last night alone. Collider has it tracking as of 4 am in the 85-90 3-day realm and calling it the "SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER FAMILIES HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR" They just dropped estimated Xmen to 7.2 Friday and a 24-26 weekend.

WHERE ARE THEY GETTING THESE NUMBERS?

wth???????

I mean Maleficent was a great movie but it was no blockbuster?

M son and daughter loved it though.


But, damn I can't wait to see actual numbers, all this predicting lower and lower has my head spinning.

 

[Takato]

Maleficent made 20.1 million in International numbers last night alone.

But panned critically!

 

[marvelrobbins]

Oh god! Maleficent Is panned criticly and makes 90 million over 3 days almost
as much as DOFP did on 3 days.

This means disney will make more revisionist films

DOFP may only make 28 million on second weekend.With that kind of drop it may only do 200 to 210 million domesticly.

As for 2016 Disney will blink and move cap to april to get ahed on Batman V
Superman. After Maleficent I am worried about APocalypse opening as same day as alice in wnderland 2.If the independence day sequel doesn't arrive maybe Fox should consider a opening for 4th of july.

 

[Malik]

But 4th of july wouldn't be the best weekend to open a film like apocalypse imo, it's a huge u.s holiday.

 

[marvelrobbins]

Then tell me when to release it then.

Early may Is out of question.

Memorial day Is bad given DOFP drop and alice 2 opening

June Is bad month see FC class

Late july Is bad see the wolverine

You are left 4th of july or august

Maleficent is proof Alice 2 could be panned criticly and audences will still go.

And if DOFP with all it's star power can't reach the 3 day numbers of godzilla
and WS and may struggle to get 200 Million domesticly with the huge drop despite good reviews what do people think properties like X-force or gambit
or deadpool will do?

 

[Malik]

Well dofp has grossed 351 million ww vs godzilla's 329 million which btw is on it's 3rd weekend.

 

[marvelrobbins]

Godzilla made more on opening weekend. And if DOFP only does 28 million this weekend
that's a godzilla like drop and who knows which one will make more domesticly.

Since it's clear as day the main market now for X-Men Is overseas I wouldn't be shocked
If APocalypse is opened weeks ahead of DOmestily.

 

[Malik]

It's not just dofp tons of films are "underperforming" in the u.s.

 

[Blackout]

Deadline.com currently is tracking Xmen at a 8.1 million Friday and a 28-32 weekend.

Where are you getting that info because the deadline article I can see is saying 8.8-9.3 for 30.5-31.5 weekend.

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I was hoping I was wrong but I had my suspicions that this summer would suck at the domestic box office.

 

[marvelrobbins]

DOFP will do 30 million then this weekend.

Only good news Is 1:Maleficent will do 70 million and not 90 million and 2OFP Is ahead domesticly of The wolverine,First Class,and X-Men

ASm2 meanwhile could be first spider-man film to not make 200 million.After this weekend it would have done 192 million and it's nearly out of top 10 and starting to be pulled from theatres.

DOFP may be second highest grossing comic book film of 2014 domesticly If GOTG doesn't overperform expections.

DOFP should pass the 179 million Origins made unadjusted in 2009 but unlikely to pass last stand's 234 million.And it's up in the air if it passes the 214 million X2 did.

 

[marvelrobbins]

It's not just dofp tons of films are "underperforming" in the u.s.

Disney films aren't.Maleficent is overperforming expections.

 

[Blackout]

Overseas numbers are expected to dip max 50% this weekend which is really good.

America

 

[Saitou Hajime]

Late july Is bad see the wolverine

You are left 4th of july or august

It's gotta be August, since July is jam packed as it is with 3 Fox tentpoles, and they're gonna cannibalize each other as it is without a 4th film in the works.

This is a trend. Blockbuster sequels are having weaker domestic box office, but their international box office is boosted by the growing foreign markets.

 

[marvelrobbins]

This is a trend. Blockbuster sequels are having weaker domestic box office, but their international box office is boosted by the growing foreign markets.

Again Disney/MS sequels aren't.Iron man 3 outgrossed Iron man 2.Thor the dark world despite weaker critical reaction did better than Thor and Winter soldier
did better than First avenger. Yeah avengers helped but still.

 

[marvelrobbins]

It's gotta be August, since July is jam packed as it is with 3 Fox tentpoles, and they're gonna cannibalize each other as it is without a 4th film in the works.

So you would dump X-Men in august when summer is almost over where there are rarely ever top performers?

That hardly would show much confidence In X-Men.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

If it happens the next 3 summers it's a trend, for now this summer sucking is a trend of this summer sucking.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

If that number is true, that is pretty bad and in line with what happened to Godzilla. That is not an example of good WOM.

 

[Blackout]

Again Disney/MS sequels aren't.Iron man 3 outgrossed Iron man 2.Thor the dark world despite weaker critical reaction did better than Thor and Winter soldier
did better than First avenger. Yeah avengers helped but still.

Not surprised because the brand recognition of the MCU worldwide is undeniable at this point in time. All of the earlier installments listed were before Avengers.

 

[JP]

If that number is true, that is pretty bad and in line with what happened to Godzilla. That is not an example of good WOM.

WOM has never helped this franchise.

 

[Blackout]

If that number is true, that is pretty bad and in line with what happened to Godzilla. That is not an example of good WOM.

No, Godzilla fell 67% with an inflated weekend. Would have fell even more without the holiday boost. X-Men is falling as per expected of the frontloaded franchise ceiling, and off an inflated opening, nothing to do with word of mouth. If it continues to fall the same next week you may have a point. Although the word of mouth on this film seems to be only affect the overseas numbers.
