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

[MarvelU]

Looks like TWS will beat DOFP domestically, but DOFP makes more internationally. I'm glad both movies made well over 700 mil and are such amazing films.

I guess it makes sense, Captain "America" did better in the US and X-Men which had setting in China, Moscow, Paris, Saigon, and Washington DC along with its more diverse cast did better overseas.

Amazing Spider-Man might be the highest of the three superhero movies in terms of total overseas numbers if X-Men doesn't catch up to it (which will get very close to it) since X-Men is about $495 million right now according to screen daily.

 

[WC Avengers]

Yup.

$420,000 +43.5%

\


still making a TON of cash but yet they dropped 1000 theaters.


JUST STUPID!


at 41 days Godzilla still had 1361 theaters and ASM2 had 1450. Yet, we have 1040????

wth??

makes no sense

Currently, if you go by the Godzilla and the ASM2 drops it will be less then 400 theaters after next Friday!


Basically already out of theaters.

CAPTAIN AT 41 DAYS HAD 2751 THEATERS, LOL


YET XMEN DOFP

 

[JP]

Not a fair comparison. We had a slew of Wednesday releases yesterday.

ASM's 1,450 would be compared to our 2,014. And our current 1,040 should be compared to ASM's 680...

7th weekend theater count.

Cap 2: 2271
DOFP: 1040
Godzilla 750
ASM2: 682

Cap 2's legs were good and had less competition than DOFP is having now with multiple movies opening every week, thus theaters were more likely to keep it in theaters.

Godzilla and ASM2 lost at faster rates so I'm not sure what you're saying. If you're going by day count, DOFP lost the theaters for the 7th weekend on a wednesday due to July 4th weekend, which is the day you're counting up to. Whereas the other movies lost their 7th weekend theaters on Fridays. So you should count to 43 days.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

I think if anything FOX should seriously consider moving Apocalypse off this Memorial Day weekend they seem to be fixated on for this franchise. Clearly, this is the most congested time of the summer for films so ALL of them are going to be bludgeoned with so many releases coming out back-to-back.

Some of us keep comparing DoFP to Captain America 2, but that film was more sensibly positioned with far less competition. X-Men should be in that position in my humble opinion.

 

[JP]

We're in an age were no Summer release date is a good summer release date. Unless you're one of those few franchises that has the power to trample everything in it's path, like Transformers or Iron Man...

 

[CB Fan]

I'm still a believer that a winter release could've seen better numbers for DOFP, had it initially been set for release in winter the only other "big" flick out would have been MockingJay.

 

[BMM]

Unless Warner Bros. still moved the Hobbit back to December.

 

[Blackout]

Summer 2016 is ridiculously packed. Fox better move Apocalypse somewhere less congested.

 

[HIA]

I highly doubt they move. They must be pretty happy with Dofp numbers with the Memorial weekend. Tho 2016 has Batman v Superman, so that will hurt XMen first weeks big time. And there will be new releases in June too, so Apocalypse might have a harder time than Dofp. Might. it just will depend on how strong the opening weekend is. If its much higher than Dofp and X3, then it will be fine, but if its similar to Dofp, it wont end much higher than current sequel.

 

[marvelrobbins]

You have batman V superman Vs cap3 at beging of may inless as i suspect DIsney moves Cap to april

On memorial day the alice sequel opens.The Sinister six may get the ASSM3 slot In June if Sony indeed push that to 2017 as rumored.MS will release film In
july most likely Dr strange.Plus fox has third apes film for summer too.

Apocalypse isn't going to have what DOFP did and that was event of having both casts In same film.Apocalypse Is FC cast+Hugh Jackman+Newcomers

One added plus Is channing Tatum as Gambit.Having 22 Jumpstreet be as successful as it has been says he Is genuine star who could help bring seats
Into theatres no matter what fans think of him as Gambit.

Apocalypse will answer the question if cast Is ilrelvent.

 

[psylockolussus]

Fox seems really confident with the summer release dates well except for Wolverine 3 which is getting a March release date, which doesn't surprise me since it only got less than $135 million in the U.S.

I just don't know which non-summer Fox should move Apocalypse to. July and May seems the best release month for X-Men movies. People usually go less in theaters in the months of January/February/September/October. April, maybe since it worked for Captain America, but summer weekdays are stronger. A Thor 2 scenario could happen if they released it November or December.

 

[psylockolussus]

Hang in there Days of Future Past! I hope it will still reach $230 million.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

I'm sure FOX will find some way of squeezing more of the Original Trilogy cast into Apocalypse, which should help the box office.

It's seems the general public are MUCH more receptive to Jackman, Stewart, Berry and Co. than they are to the First Class crowd (No matter how big Jennifer Lawrence has gotten).

 

[Storm22]

Going to see this again tonight. Can't wait!

Good for you. I'll just wait for the DVD.

Friday estimate: $535,000

Better than X3, Hangover II and Fast&F 6. So we're doing fine

 

[Farren]

I have a feeling there's advantages and disadvantages to opening on Memorial Day weekend, and in the end, a lot of it evens out.

Yes, Cap got a longer run and more screens and a bit less competition, but DoFP got the massive weekend holiday boost. And where Cap made it's lead over DoFP wasn't in it's final weeks -- it was in it's few 3 or 4, where it had very strong legs. People just liked Cap better.

 

[HIA]

its not just that. Cap2 started stronger than X-Men, so by that we can say the hype was stronger.
We all thought the xmen hype was huge, but after all, it made similar numbers to Cap, Godzilla and Spiderman, so the hype was around the same with these four movies. Interesting, to say the least

Thats what I thought too.

DOFP has been the biggest critical & BO success of the franchise. Fassbender, Lawrence, and (in particular) McAvoy's characters were at the heart of it. The story moved with them. 75% of the film was with FC crew set in 70's away from "Berry and Co.". How could one argue one cast's public receptiveness over the other cast's? How is it possible? Let alone saying one is "MUCH more" receptive. Did you ask EVERY single person who saw the movie?
