Days of Future Past 'Days Of Future Past' BOX-OFFICE worldwide prediction - Part 3

[BeholdMe]

Congrats on X-Men being number one of the year worldwide, at least until Transformers 4 easily surpasses it in the next few weeks.

That sounds like shade, a simple congrats would have been fine.

Well, it's true. As unfortunate as that is.

 

[mabromov]

Transformers 4 had a 100 mill opening. How does this keep happening? It's deppressing

 

[BeholdMe]

Well, it's true. As unfortunate as that is.

I know it could be true but the comment itself sounded like a backhanded compliment. I was just curious its no big deal though.

 

[The Joker]

Why is that?

Because I think TASM 2 was a weak movie overall, and it's nice to see a superior quality comic book movie win out financially (and critically).

BTW I love your avatar.

Thank you

JP has the right idea.

This is a box office thread and X-Men did well for itself but I'm not going to pretend that it's position is going to last for long. I just couldn't do it, it's how I am wired. It's not a knock against the film, it's reality, an observation. X-Men might end up number 2 of the summer if Apes doesn't beat it and that's good. I guess Maleficent has an outside shot as well if it's one of those rare over performing blockbusters in Japan.

Im far from saying that XMen will hold the title forever, it was just your response was a backhanded compliment it seemed to me like you were throwing shade at DOFP. Of course its very likely that Transformers could surpass DOFP and if so good job for it im just happy that DOFP is doing so well because i didnt expect it to do as well as it is doing. Idk i use to like the Planet of the APes, but the last 2 just seem really boring to me. Maleficient though was a good movie, I loved i can see it possibly outperforming overseas.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Can't believe it. So pleased for fox and all involved in the movie. Well deserved

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

It's not a backhanded anything. If Transformers were weeks from coming out I wouldn't have even wrote that but it just came out this weekend. It's the Elephant in the room and I wasn't going to ignore it.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Depending on GOTG it looks like as well as being the highest rated DOFP will be the highest grossing Superhero movie this year

 

[BeholdMe]

They can both be a success even if one drops from the number 1 it dosent make it a failure. I was just explaining how your comment appeared to me and still it reads as that, though people are talking about Transformer taking the spot DOFP is still a success is all that im saying.

 

[Samarus]

We are #1
We are #1
We are #1
Let's enjoy it while it lasts

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Let's all savour it before Transformers well and truly takes the crown.

I wasn't calling the film a failure at all. It's a good movie and a hit and a sequel is coming in 2016. I'm happy about it's success.

 

[WC Avengers]

Wow! Estimated 12 million OS? Thats as much or more than last week.


712-714 estimated

 

[Blackout]

Wow! Estimated 12 million OS? Thats as much or more than last week.


712-714 estimated

Around a -35% weekly from last week. A very good weekly total

 

[WC Avengers]

So wait, everyone is saying Transformers will easily get 800 to 1 billion?

Not so fast, remember that Xmen opened at 280, T4 opended at 300. I still think after a few weeks this thing will see 70 percent drops. Wait until Apes comes out?

That's because Transformers has only opened in 37 territories this weekend, and has yet to open in many European and South American territories, while DOFP opened in almost all its territories day and date.

 

[Liam_H]

China and US are gonna combine for over/nearly half a billion alone.

 

[HIA]

712-714 estimated

if thats the case, and the movie drops around 50% weekly, we would get:

6m
3m
1m
=
10m more. So.. 500m overseas!

 

[JP]

Yeah, 500m seems back in play. Great.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

It would be really nice if it hits 500mil overseas.

I read Transformers 4 is down from the 3rd one in certain markets, I wonder if there is a chance it doesn't hit a billion? Certainly 900+mil is happening.

 

[marvelrobbins]

Malificent may outgross DOFP domesticly so DOFP well probally be in best case sceniro the 3rd highest grossing film of summer.

500 Million oS Is back as possibilty.As for question if it can match the unadjusted gross of Last stand that remains a possibilty as well.

If it can get 232 million domesticly it will have matched the adjusted domestic total of First X-Men film.

It needs 9 million to reach the adjust gross of X-Men and 11 million to reach the unadjusted numbers of last stand meaning Last Stand would no longer be the top grossing domestic film in series unadjusted.

 

[danoyse]

I know it could be true but the comment itself sounded like a backhanded compliment. I was just curious its no big deal though.

No, it wasn't. It's just what's...inevitable.

 

[X-Maniac]

Let's face it, we all knew - or at least suspected - Transformers would be big. These movies always are. They are pop culture giants, even though they have little appeal to women and girls and aren't four-quadrant films by any means.

In addition, Transformers movies are simple and easy for foreign audiences to understand. No complex plots, or lengthy subtitles - it's just robots fighting. They have global appeal for that reason.

But it doesn't mean DoFP is any less successful. Or any less good a movie.

If Fox wants X-Men to be on a similar level, it would have to dumb down the story and emotions and step up the action and epic scale.
