Um.... No. We are still in a recession.

Recession has a very particular meaning. There's a word to cover what you're trying to describe but it isn't recession.

Great film, great success. All this talk about failure is off the wall. First of all Dofp is an international success. Second, the lower domestic number is near 200 million? Since when is 200 million not a success? Third, the critics and fans love it, see RT.com. Four, this film had emotion and a screeplay that was nearly better than the source. Five, it connected the other films even though its an alternate timeline. Much like Star Trek did as you still can watch the originals and know they still exist in the verse. 700 million............ not 1 billion? Had Xmen built the series from scratch like Avengers did this may have reached that billion mark. All Xmen had was Wolverine, imagine if the Avenger series started with just the Hulk and then right into an Avenger movie. Marvel built the Avengers correctly building the series through Thor Iron Man CA and Hulk.

this is why I like the Solo idea Gambit movie b4 Apocalypse. Even a solo Cyclops film would be cool also b4 Apocalypse.

The recession thing is a buzz word that fanboys love throwing out there this year. Films have performed just fine during crappy economic times.

That being said the film is doing okay but a little disappointing domestically. Maybe the next one will get to 250-260mil and maybe it won't, we will have to wait and see.

according to some if it didn't get to Iron man 3 or avengers level it's a disappointment.

Ignoring the fact that I say BS on other films exsisting just like I say BS on Star Trek a string of solo films Is bad idea.X-Men should be team films.Add to fact Fox is very limited how they can promate films and some here moan about Fox's release dates.

There's like one poster who said failure...and they also said "big success globally".

The inflation debate is kinda dumb, if you're gonna compare TLS adjusted gross to DOFP then compare the adjusted budget too.

That is actually a good idea, what would the adjusted TLS budget be? No one ever talks about that, lol

anyone good at numbers? You have my attention ....

Fanboys always predict a billion, they just can't help it now.

I can't remember for certain, but I'm pretty sure on the poll, I voted for $700 million WW.

I never saw the film hitting $800 million plus. But $700 million is a GREAT number .

 

[Rock Sexton]

This is simply not true. You're talking about a significantly wide gap though as IM3 produced $409 million domestically.

Consider this:

• 59 films have scored more than $200mil, but less than $250 million at the domestic office.
• 34 films with $250mil, but under $300mil.
• 47 films have been over $300mil.

$200mil is relatively average now for these big summer spectacles, especially one with the kind've budget DOFP had. Again, just speaking domestically. If AOA hits $300 million here in the states, then I know I can unequivocally say this franchise has become a worldwide success. For now the interest is higher abroad, seems that way for whatever big blockbuster we'll send them right now.

I want to squeeze one more showing in. But the wife wants to see Maleficent and we both want to see 22 Jump Street...maybe after this weekend .

Domestic box office is disappointing in the sense that it's legs won't be that much better than X3, was hoping its quality would translate a bit better.

DoFP is going to be Fox's first $200m+ domestic haul since Avatar in 2009.

That TOTALLY SUX .

Very impressed and happy for the film.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

I've seen this film 9 times now. I'm not sure if I have the energy to pull off seeing it a 10th time in theaters again...but I will do what I must.

[marvelrobbins]

200 million Is big deal.Best domesticly since 2006.Yeah It would be nicer if it top last stand domesticly.But 610 Million worldwide for now is not something
to dismiss.I am sure fox Is happy to get X-Men into 600 Million WW club.
