Days of Future Past 'Days Of Future Past' BOX-OFFICE worldwide prediction - Part 4

[EnDz0n3]

It doesn't really matter since Maleficent will pass it either way, Maleficent has probably been the only Summer movie thus far with good legs all around. Most say Maleficent will end with about $240 domestically. It will also get close to DOFP word wide total, but I am not sure if it will beat DOFP world wide. I see DOFP ending with $235 million domestically and about $510 overseas.

I know it was bound to happen especially with how Maleficent has been getting these inexplicably good holds. But it will certainly help out DOFP to get back that theatre count.

 

[marvelrobbins]

Unfortuly maleficent has passed 700 Million WW and may end up outgrossing both DOFP
and ASM2 WW with way It has been holding on.And that Is all so depresing.

 

[Blackout]

Maleficent is guaranteed to pass DOFP WW already. In Japan it's falling less than 20% each week and is already at 34million. Will likely gross another 30 million there, ending around 750M+. DOFP ends around 745M max I think.

Doesn't matter cuz DOFP has already surpassed many expectations. Remember we were still biting our nails previously whether it would even pass 700m? Now it's gonna do 740M+, I think that's great.

I think you re Overestimating Japan capability for Maleficent.

Maleficent Opened at
22 mil in China and did 48 mil total
14 mil in Mexico and did 46 mil total
13 mil in Russia and did 37,5 total
11 mil in United K. & did 31 total

In Japan it Opened at 6.8 mil & currently has about 30mil,, how is it doing another 30 mil there is beyond my comprehension. Maybe it adds up another 20 mil but 30 is unlikely i think.

Maleficent will finish with 730-740 mil and will miss the X-DOFP mark by a little amount.

 

[SuperT]

Who cares if Maleficent passes DOFP or not? That doesn't have any effect on the movies performance or reception.

That's because that's what it's expected to do now by people who have tracked Japanese box office for a long time now, seeing the performance for the past 3 weekends and trends of movies in Japan. Japan only has a 2 day weekend whereas all other countries have 3 day ones. Different countries have different ways in which movies perform. In Japan, big blockbusters having a 10x multiplier off its opening weekend is not surprising if it is popular. Summer holidays have just started there and will help it greatly.

Obviously I wish for DOFP to stay ahead, but I'm just being realistic from what tracking I have seen. But like the others have said, it doesn't really matter because DOFP is already a huge success.

 

[psylockolussus]

Yes it doesn't matter because DOFP is already an iconic smash hit for the series and Fox. But personally, since Maleficent opened 1 week later after DOFP's worldwide release date, its a bummer to me. It will outgross DOFP in North America tomorrow, surprisingly in my country, it also outgrossed DOFP and maybe worldwide too? It makes to think if Maleficent opened in July & not 1 week after DOFP's release date, wouldn't that benefit DOFP, like better legs? Probably yes.

Bingo. Although, I'm sure every fan wants bragging rights like usual no matter the small difference.

Besides HTTYD there really has not been a stand out family film besides Malificent this Summer. No Pixar or anything. Malificent was one of only two choices for kids. Makes sense why that one held with families. Everyone knows the story, loves Jolie in the role and it has the Disney approval families recognize.

DOFP on the other hand alot more competition and still held it's own. These two were not just battling it out with the same audiences. Besides, DOFP pretty much made what this board hoped it would from what I remember, with an extremely higher then expected review average. Can't ask for much more.

 

[8ulk]

You all are right. At the end it doesnt really matter is Maleficent outgrosses XDOFP or not

XDOFP met expectations and then some... so who cares ?
(but still my personal guess is XDOFP 741mil ,Maleficent 739 mil.)

Interestingly XDFOP still continues to do more than DOUBLE for the daily comparison to X-The Last Stand.

I guess doing 234,5 mil is still in play ! YAY. I just hope theater count(almost did a nasty typo here ) doesnt kill its shot.

P.S.
Also funny enough Trans4ormers is still ahead of CAP2 TWS in its 27th day by over 2 mil. My guess its gonna finish with 260-265 mil and beat CAP2.

 

[danoyse]

The obsession with Maleficent on here is bizarre...

 

[marvelrobbins]

Ssome of us would have liked to see DOFP as number 2 summer movie.Plus on both RT
critics and audence DOFP had higher numbers.

Depending on GOTG DOFP Is about to be third film of summer.

 

[Storm22]

The obsession with Maleficent on here is bizarre...

Agreed.

 

[xrs13]

I want both to do really well... Ducks for cover

 

[danoyse]

I haven't seen it, but it was clear from the start that it had its audience and was going to make big money. Not surprised that it did, and not concerned about it beating DOFP or not. Just not that big deal.

 

[Dr. Remy Lebeau]

The big difference between DoFP and Malificent is that Malificent is a family film. Family films tend to get more multiple viewings on average since parents love taking their kids to films that capture the kids' imaginations (plus its a way to calm their kids down for two hours). Thus comparing Malificent to DoFP is comparing apples to oranges. I know I'm echoing a lot of sentiments on here but I wanted to chime in.
DoFP is a mega hit! End of story!

 

[HIA]

Transformers is a mega hit, Dofp is a decent one. great for our franchise, but not a real mega hit, being all honest

 

[EnDz0n3]

The obsession with Maleficent on here is bizarre...

Meh. It's a film that was only expected to do decent. And with it within spitting distance off DOFP's domestic haul (and WW), it's understandable for DOFP fans to be unhappy with the results.

Transformers is a mega hit, Dofp is a decent one. great for our franchise, but not a real mega hit, being all honest

It's definitely a "Mega" Hit Overseas. Domestically, it's a hit, though with it's pre-release hype and the critical reception, it definitely could've made more than $235 Mil+

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes will probably outgross DOFp too.

So I think DOFP will end up as 4th for the summer season.

doing 500m overseas is something plenty of movies have done in the latest years. Being 'mega' is subjetive, I guess. To me mega is something only a few movies have done, like... lets say doing 700m, 800m or more just overseas. Thats really crazy

Im just seeing that T4 has it at 690m as of right now: http://boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?view2=worldwide&yr=2014&p=.htm thats f**** crazy, man

and now I see in 2012, both Avengers and Skyfall made +800m... two other examples of mega hits, then. Something extraordinary, that doesnt happen often

I ll be shocked if it does. I honestly think it will end up at around 225-230 mil.
Although a good movie i didnt like it so much.

I think its quite overrated as a movie. It nothing special.
Much like TDK trilogy. Good but overrated. (start the flame people i offended your Nolanism)

P.S. I am a hardcore MOVIE FAN. I watch all kinds of movies. Drama , sci-fi, comedies , romantic comedies you name it i ll pay for it.
In that sense im not biased towards a specific genre or group of filmakers/actors or characters just like most of the TDK fans are biased for the Batman character thus denying any legitimate critisism over Nolans films.

A good example is mr Tzeng from AMC who has T.Burtons Batman movie in his top5 comic book movies of all times. Honestly who thinks that movie is that good ? Noone. Mr Tzeng is biased towards Batman cause its his favourite comic character.

My point is that im as objective as a person can be when its comes to judging movies. Ofc i always speak for my self and only say my opinion and nothing more. My personal point of view. It doesnt mean its always correct. Nevertheless i think its objective and i think i have a fair taste since i mostly agree with Rotten tomatos ratings / imdb and stuff.(which ofc doesnt mean anything and sadly i have to mention it cause i know all the comments that will follow cause some people alway want to twist things and put words in peoples mouth or discover some hidden meanings)

 

[X-Maniac]

The obsession with Maleficent on here is bizarre...

A little.

But Maleficent was a direct competitor with DoFP, coming out the following weekend. And it's a competitor from the owner of Marvel Studios, so it's indirectly a part of the 'studio wars' thing with superheroes.

 

[marvelrobbins]

Domesticly DOFP Is estimated to do 400,000 this weekend bringing it domesticly to 231 Million.DOFP Is now outgrossed domesticly by Maleficent but we all knew
that was coming.So for now DOFP Is now third film of Summer domesticly.

DOFP Is one million away from the adjust gross of first X-Men-232 Million and
3 Million from the unadjusted gross of Last Stand.
