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

[Blackout]

Is Maleficent expected to make 450-500mil internationally?

Depends on how well it does in Japan, I think 430-450m would not be surprising, and more than that if it breaks out in Japan.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Most blockbusters don't break out in Japan.

 

[Blackout]

Well, Disney seems to do well in Japan, you never know

 

[Farren]

Most blockbusters don't break out in Japan.

Japan is sort of a wild card because for some reason certain movies just take off there -- rare but when they do it's INSANE (ie Frozen getting over $200M). Even Spidey got an odd boost -- $30M compared to Cap2 and DoFP which I believe haven't made more than $10M.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

We will see what happens. I never count on Japan to help much and I'm right 90% of the time. If Maleficent breaks out in Japan, great but I won't be the one calling it.

 

[Liam_H]

Spidey didn't get an odd boost in Japan. Its generally the most popular western hero there, all prior movies have done well there relative to other CBM.

I meant odd compared to other countries. I know he's popular there so I'm not really surprised. (EDIT: or, to try and be more clear, which I really wasn't originally: Spidey is popular worldwide, but for ASM2 to make more than 3x what Cap2 or DoFP have -- that's a huge ratio compared to how those three films have done when you go country by country. They just really REALLY like Spidey over there.)

 

[A Dollar Short]

BoxOfficeGuru:

X-Men: Days of Future Past followed with an estimated $6.2M, down 37%, for $216.8M to date. It is the summer's top-grossing film so far and now stands as the second highest grossing film in the seven-pic X-Men franchise. Look for Past to challenge the $234.4M of 2006's The Last Stand.

 

[Dr. Remy Lebeau]

Think he means at the same point in its run.

I did mean that. Thanks for the backup!

BoxOfficeGuru:

That's right! Last Stand... watch the 'f' out!!!

 

[psylockolussus]

$692 million! YAY!

700 million is indeed a lock! Hopefully it will be the highest gross year of 2014 for sometime if it outgrosses Cap 2's worldwide gross.

An addition of 8 million will come from the U.S. and hopefully the overseas numbers will still come in.

 

[psylockolussus]

From Boxoffice.com:

X-Men: Days of Future Past reeled in another $11.3 million from 47 markets, including Venezuela's $1.7 million first place debut (just 2 percent behind Iron Man 3). Holdover markets Brazil ($1.3m, down only 34%), and the UK ($981K, down only 35%) lift the international cume to an impressive $477.3m. The global total is now $694.3 million.

1.7 million in Venezuela. By comparison, TWS opened to 1.3 million, and ASM2 opened to 1.5m.

YAS! Thats good to hear!

So it will at least earn a final gross of 6 million. Hopefully 10 million or more!

 

[psylockolussus]

Probably. But I think Maleficent will beat xdofp.

U.S. maybe but worldwide? It is already released in China and so far earned $521 million. Transformers is coming out next weekend to dominate the worldwide box-office. Maleficent is not an animated and a musical film so I don't think it will perform as massive as Frozen in Japan. At best, it might get $50 million in Japan if its a break out hit but I don't think its gonna outgross all CBM movies when it comes to worldwide gross.

I see. Right now, I just want this movie to beat the winter soldier.

 

[Marvin]

I see. Right now, I just want this movie to beat the winter soldier.

That would be a great win for Fox in the ongoing thing they have with marvel/disney.

 

[WC Avengers]

my projections

227 million final Domestic - X3 still reigns champion
489 million International - ASM2 is clear champion


Final take -

716 million WW


It will be ranked UNADJUSTED at 89th ALL-TIME JUST BETWEEN ---- drum roll PLEASE!!


Hancock and Bourne Ultimatum


as for the UNADJUSTED INTERNATIONAL ----- drum roll PLEASE!!!!


WILL be #60 ALL-TIME between Gravity and Breaking Dawn Part 1



Also,

#46 on the ALL-TIME Overseas list just ahead of Ghost Protocol


In the brand Marvel Comics it will finish at #11 just behind

X3

and just for fun -

in the Franchise unadjusted total gross this pushes XMEN into 10th place just below the TWILIGHT franchise.

 

[Blackout]

^ It has already passed Winter Soldier overseas.

 

[WC Avengers]

I corrected that, thanks man!

 

[darkangel]

Avengers fans be like "Days of Future Past flopped"
Bryan Singer be like "lemme grab a tissue"

I dont think I have seen a single Avenger fan be like that haha

 

[WC Avengers]

I dont think I have seen a single Avenger fan be like that haha

I think he meant TEAM AVENGERS VS TEAM XMEN

which Avengers clearly stomped.

However, XMEN sort of did things backwards.

I wonder what would have happened if the XMEN started with

WOLVERINE (Solo Film)
MAGNETO (Solo film)
CYCLOPS (Solo film)
GAMBIT (Solo Film)

then

XMEN - Team Film


like the Avengers did with


HULK
IRON MAN
THOR
CAPTAIN

then

Avengers - Team Film

would have an XMEN TEAM film score as much as THE AVENGERS did?

 

[danoyse]

I dont think I have seen a single Avenger fan be like that haha

Neither have I...

 

[Tymminator]

Neither have I...

Add me to that.

I'm as big a fan of the Avengers and the MCU in general as a guy can get and I know I didn't say any mess like that.

 

[Blackout]

There are sure to be hateful comments for anything, best thing to do is ignore them

 

[marvelrobbins]

They were those hoping for DOFP to bomb for DIsney to get back X_Men and FF.
