Deadline upped the cume to 3.2 million this weekend. Up from the 3 million prediction.
My prediction for this year's superhero movie box office ranking was off. I thought it was gonna be this way:
1. Spidey 900mil (300-600)
2. X-Men 700mil (250-550)
3. Cap 600 mil (200-400)
For me, Spidey definitely disappointed, X-Men matched expectations, and Cap exceeded expectations.
Yeah...but as Michale Bay would say you can hate all you want but you're still going to go see it. And in this instance you already have.
I hate the movies but I definitely don't begrudge the billion dollars worth of people who love them. Not every film is or should be made for my enjoyment.I've only seen the first one on FX, just can't get into them personally.
After 4 films the only thing the GA will figure out is that this is still one of their favorite franchises, and that critics don't matter at all in the grand scheme here. It got an A- Cinemascore as did the last. They like these films. That 0 is followed by a 10 on the SHH poll. It's love and hate with fanboys, but the GA brings the love every single time.
Just for fun, here were my predictions from early October of last year, actuals are bolded.
TWS
350/420=770
256/454=710
ASM2
230/500=730
200/503=703
X-MEN
310/400=710
221/480=702
Had I waited a few more weeks for Thor 2, I would have lowered my TWS numbers. I obviously wanted bigger numbers here in the states, but I am thrilled at how well X-Men has done overseas.![]()
It's impossible for it to beat Cap TWS and not TLS as TWS is higher than TLS.
DoFP may outgrows Cap WW, but it must do more than 256M to outgross Cap domestically.
DOFP gets WW
Cap2 gets Domestic
ASM2 gets Overseas
Everybody is happy.
WW is the best though.
The gross sales that I see for XDoFP is $698,943,000 only.
DOFP is on track to make $231M at this point and has a pretty good chance to catch TLS if it can continue to hold well.
Look at boxofficemojo.com. DOFP is at $701 million without them adding in the foreign totals
712+ million worldwide, according to BOM estimates.
