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

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Fair enough. Different expectations.

I don't get the Sony remark, though. Studio profits are a black box, but isn't it safe to say that DOFP has already turned a profit, or close to it?

That comment was because Sony so overspent on that film and it's marketing that they aren't going to make a dime in theaters despite it making 700mil. I was saying that FOX should not go down the same route of spending so much that the film has to make over 800mil just to break even. Fox is usually really good with budgets so maybe I'm talking about something that will never happen.

 

[Blackout]

Wow how much did Sony spend on ASM2? 700M and no profit? Must be a lot.

 

[JKKS085]

Reportedly close to 450M including P&A.

 

[Mars123]

I think it'll now be more interesting to see how the 8th film done, especially after a very successful 7th movie!

 

[TeeKay]

Fox only has themselves to blame for DOFP not hitting 250+mil here in the states. It is a good film with excellent reviews, the quality did not hinder it but the marketing did.

The marketing was not up to snuff, period. People who complained about the marketing were seen as whiners who just wanted all the info right now and many complainers were just whiners but others rightfully found the marketing campaign lacking. The film was never going to have great legs so a bigger opening was a must. Fox should really re-evaluate how they are marketing their films.

Couldn't agree more.

Oh god, that's like setting off the Bat signal around here...

You have made my day!t:

 

[8ulk]

Reportedly close to 450M including P&A.

Hehe. You do realize that what your suggesting is near impossible ?

ASM2 movie had a budget of 200-250 mil which makes the 200-250mil for P&A kinda MEGA-EXPENSIVE.

assuming a 225mil budget and a 50-75mil budget for P&A they have made a profit even without DVD/BluRay sales.
ASM2 cost is definately less than 300 mil.

Like the majority of Superhero movie Blockbusters that hit the screen from 1999-2014.They mainly cost from 150-300 mil P&A included.

"The production budget is said to be around $255M, with about $185M-$190M spent on marketing".

So they roughly spent about $449-$445 million on TASM2.

DOFP has now outgrossed Thor the dark world and some still can't he happy
with it's success.

Despite all the complaning over it's marketing,and some convently forget DIsney ties Fox's hands with using merchandize to promate DOFP especilly Domesticly.

This summer again proves quality Is ilrelvent.Maleficent may outgross DOFP
due to how it's holding on.Edge of tomorrow has great reviews yet It's not doing great domesticly.Both DOFP and EoT have great scores on RT from critics and audences.Maleficent Is lower on both yet Maleficent may finish domesticly better than both.

The Last time a X-Men film performed these numbers were Last stand In 2006
and people didn't even all like the film that much.

DOFP Is like the X2 of FC films.And it's a lock now to outgross X2's unadjusted numbers.

Fox's holding back approach worked better domesticly than SOny's let's show everything approach with Amazing Spider-Man 2.Considering how FC and the wolverine perfromed domesticly Vs how the Amazing Sider-man performed
domesticly Spider-man should have beaten X-Men.It didn't.

Saying Fox sucks because DOFP didn't match WS Is crazy.That film had no competion,had merchandize to promate it,and had the avengers boost.

No one is bringing this doom and gloom you keep going on about....

 

[Snikt]

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this lol. marvelrobbins seems to be a little wishy-washy.

"The movie's not performing well." Then it's, "some just can't understand how well it's performing."

 

[psylockolussus]

With a budget that's on par with its current domestic haul, I'm sure Fox executives are NOT jumping up and down. They expected more return from their investment especially since they get a lot more percentage back from domestic.

If thats the case then Fox should consider the fact that the last three X-Men movies didn't even cross the $200 million mark.

What's in contention here is that from marvelrobbins' initial post, ONLY Spidey 2's "butt" is being saved by Overseas numbers. That's simply untrue. DOFP is being saved too.

The difference here is there's a growth in X-Men in United States which cannot be said to Spidey who has been declining at domestic box-office since 2002.

 

[psylockolussus]

BoxOffice ‏@BoxOffice 30s
X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST took in $1.03M on Monday. Domestic total now stands at $207.29M. #XMEN #DOFP

-41% from last Monday.

YAY! I was expecting less than a million!

I'm not sure what else Fox could have done, I thought the marketing was brilliant in the weeks leading up to the release. The final two trailers, especially the last one, were awesome.

The 1st one should have been a little different in my opinion, like more action and an upbeat music would have been more effective. Plus the gap between the 1st trailer and 2nd trailer was quite long.

http://www.deadline.com/2014/05/amazing-spider-man-2-box-office-opening-big-debut/

So they roughly spent about $449-$445 million on TASM2.

TASM2 movie production budget is 200-255 mil . The exact number is not known.

We can Assume a 230 mil budget to be fair.
Promotion/Marketing budget wasnt 180-190 mil. Dealine report is bullocks.
There never been a movie with such high promotion cost and will never be.

Studios arent that retarted. they are sure as hell not that bright but definately not that idiotic.

Movies tend to minimize the budget of each sequel. see Transformers franchise. No way in hell they spent 450 mil in ASM2.

Im sure they didnt expect the movie to gross 900mil just to break even. they can do math.nor they expecting a billion dollar mark.

Go to TASM2 Box Office thread if you wanna discuss this.

 

[Spiderdevil]

LOL its funny to see people disappointed with the box office here

Prior to the release I way saying 600M was the roof for this movie irrespective of the quality

Not only did the movie turn out to be excellent but it will probably outgross TASM2 and TWS.

720-730M on a 200M budget is really good(somewhat like SM2)

The Original trilogy imo didnt have a compelling character for the audience to root for apart from Wolverine but Fassbender and McAvoy have blown fresh air into that problem

If Singer maintains the quality with Apocalyse its a potential Billion dollar film

I will be happy if XDoFP will outgross Captain America: Winter Soldier.

Blasphemy!!!!

 

[JP]

1.25 for Tues.

 

[SuperT]

Wow! These dailies have been pretty good ever since the release date. I would have thought it would have dipped below the $1M mark during the week by now.

 

[JP]

Possibly today, as Wednesdays are generally weak.

 

[A Dollar Short]

So happy it's holding on so well! By this week, X3 was doing numbers in the 800k range Monday-Thursday.

 

[Dr. Remy Lebeau]

These are the 'legs' at work that we always knew this film would have.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

It would be nice if it could crawl to 230mil.

 

[Blackout]

Tues actuals: $1,242,446 +20% from Monday, -39% from last Tuesday.

Domestic Total: $208,532,557
Overseas Total as of 17/06/14: $461,031,285

Total Worldwide: $669,563,862

Probably already over $670m as of now.

Passes Man of Steel's $668m WW gross too.

 

[Tehmeh]

Suck that, Man of Poop.
