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

[def28]

Yeah, everyone is pretty much putting the range inbetween 600-700m ww. Which would be a solid success for the franchise and put them on the road to making more come the next.

 

[BeastStorm98]

I know but people old and young, even little kids seem excited for XMen. My cousins asked for if they have a DOFP game but they didn't make one obviously but I know he is into it. Also xmen has a huge female audience. Then add Game of Thrones, Hu get games and general Jennifer Lawrence fans. Some people wanna watch xmen cause Jennifer Lawrence. Lol

 

[BeastStorm98]

That's not bad though, 600-700m we is good. Hope it makes more though.

 

[HIA]

but the reality is that superhero movies are getting bigger and bigger each year.

Cap doing more than the first, and even more than last year Thor2. TW doing more than FC in the foreign market.... the genre is going nowhere, lol.

 

[Eddie]

You guys underestimate Xmen. There are very popular, worldwide and in the US.When I saw Cap everybody clapped when the xmen trailer ended.

There's a pretty good chance that this film will do better (maybe even significantly better) than any other X-film. That being said, no X-film has done anywhere close to the higher end numbers I've seen thrown around. I don't see a problem with people putting in estimates based on the previous entries in the franchise.

 

[marvelrobbins]

I had always though In best case sceniro was If DOFP explodes Is a domestic gross close to adjusted numbers of X2 and last stand In 280 Million range.Last Stand's adjust number Is 298 million and X2's Is 297 Million. 230 to 250 million may be more realistic number Is DOFP explodes and Box office.com Is underestimating it.

If The Wolverine just on Hugh Jackman can get to 282 Million overseas then DOFP with cast from both trilogy and FC backing him up and more specultcle DOFP should be able to get Into 300 Million range overseas

Both first Class and both wolverine films have done better overseas than Domesticly.

DOFP should be first X-Men film to go over 500 Million worldwide.However the question Is can it get to 600 Million.

true, but neither Hulk, Thor and Cap first movies did big numbers, and look what happened with Avengers.

Franchises use to have a big jump at some point. Bond, Batman, Avengers... and this year, X-Men could perfectly join the gang.

The future of the "Fox Marvelverse" pretty much hinges on the question. With Hollywood accounting (which is a load of garbage, but we still have to take it into consideration), this movie pretty much has to be the highest grossing X-film. Fox will call it a loss if it isn't, based on the budget. Heck, there are (again, ridiculous) claims that big budget films these days have to earn triple their budget at the box office to be profitable before the home release. Can DoFP earn triple its $200,000,000+ budget? We'll see. I'm going to stick with my guess that the film will be successful, but Fox will cut the budget of Apocalypse.

True, but there are a few things worth noting here:

-The Last Stand is the only X-film to make more money than Thor (and 5, soon to be 6, MCU films have outperformed every X-film)
-The Last Stand had a much bigger budget than any of the MCU films that made less money
-The last two X-films came out during the full blown superhero craze, and they didn't do as well as they could (despite being good movies)
-The previous X-film (my favorite in the franchise, btw) made less domestically than The Incredible Hulk, the lowest grossing MCU film

Days of Future Past should definitely make money (THAT CAST! ), but keeping expectations in check is reasonable.

 

[marvelrobbins]

The Winter Soldier Is being estimated to have a 96 Million Opening weekend Domesticly so Boxoffice.com 103 Million opening 4 day weekend prediction for DOFP Is looking like it could be close considering they projected WS with 98 million opening.

If Apocalypse really Is Just James Mcavoy,Michael Fassbender,Jennifer Lawrence,Nicholas Hoult,and Newbees that Is looking like a gamble since bringing back original cast helped bring up box office up if the prediction holds.

Need to keep in mind inflation when comparing movies from 2000 (X-Men) to 2012 and beyond. But yes, good points.

This entire sentence is silly. You really think bringing back the original cast is the sole reason why the box office is getting bigger for these movies?

X-Men: First Class & The Wolverine being great films also helps bolster future box office performance. They laid the groundwork for getting this franchise back on track.

First Class laid the foundation for The Wolverine doing better despite the last solo movie being terrible. DOFP will do better than The Wolverine and X-Men: Apocalypse will do better than DOFP - it's not going to do worse no matter who's in it.

 

[marvelrobbins]

When you take Into account Inflation the X-Men films hold up decently to the non-Iron Man MS ones

In 2014 dollors X-Men would be at 243 million
X2 at 297 Million
The Last Stand at 298 million
Even Origins would go up to 202 Million
FC would raise to 151 Million
The wolverine would get a slight bumb to 141

Non Iron man films excluding the Winter Soldier adjusted grosses go to

Thor the dark world 206 Million
Thor-187 Million
Captain America the first avenger 185 Million
The Incredible Hulk-156 Million

The original trilogy did very well compared to Non Iron man films. While even the much hated origins holds up well against first thor and cap and TIH.

Both FC and The Wolverine are behind all MS films. DOFP should put series up again.

Your ignoring the fact the return of OT cast Is helping DOFP.

As of right now several faces from DOFP ISn't going to be In APocalypse.Thinking Apocalypse will automaticly do better than DOFP with nomatter who Is In It Is naive.

FOX is wisely going "all in" for DOFP by bringing back Singer along with the OT cast, and featuring multiple timelines, a dystopian future, multiple versions of the X-Men's greatest threat and a massive budget. This is the big one, and if it underperforms FOX's lofty expectations it will likely be taken out of the budget of XM:A.

I think that may be where the future of FOX's X series is heading - movies like X-Force which have a "The Wolverine" sized budget. With Marvel, DC and Sony 'super-sizing" all of their super-hero tent poles, FOX could carve out long term success with modestly budget features utilizing the enormous library of characters under the studio's control.

BINGO! You hit the nail on the head - this is the exact tactic Fox needs to be taking with their releases. It's paid off in spades for Marvel and their universe.

I think Apocalypse certainly can do better than DOFP at the box office but it doesn't necessarily have to.

 

[GuestStar2004]

X-men apocalypse won't need a bigger budget then DOFP because they already likely have the FC cast on the cheap because they signed up before they become big names so that means more money can go on effects and visuals, but with a character like apocalypse... you will need big either way

 

[HIA]

so Cap2 didnt outgross X3 opening, and yet some people think Dofp wont do more than Cap? XMen will kill Captain America, lol both domestic and WW.
Joke aside, a huge superhero team like this movie has bigger chances than a solo hero, as good as the movie was and with the help of Black Widow. And Spiderman2 will open bigger than 100m too, I think

 

[GuestStar2004]

The avengers has given hype to its solo marvel movies, captain America: the winter soldier did use its connections to the avengers in a big way, reviews will help also

 

[HIA]

yeah, its great to see Thor and Cap getting a big push after Avengers, I hope similar scenario happens to Fox after Dofp numbers and they start supporting parallel X-Men proyects like Xforce or any other option they could have in mind. Fox would be stupid not taking advantage of this current state of superheros

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. The reason X3 did so well was because X1 was a good film and X2 was an amazing film - it had the momentum to do great.

DOFP certainly has momentum from First Class & TW but I wouldn't put it on the same level of momentum as X3 had from X2.

Boxoffice.com which was pretty much on the money with cap. They had it with 98 million opening.It opened to 96 million. They are predicting a 248 million
domestic gross.

They are prediciting DOFP with 103 million 4 day weekend and 221 Million domestic gross. Also they have spider-man with 112 opening weekend and 265 Million domestic finish.

After the Avengers X-Men Is a underdog as far as box office Is concerned.

I get that some fans want to be cautious about it, to not get dissapointed and all, but the thing is that we live in a great moment for superhero movies right now, probably the best of the last decade, whatever the hero is, Spiderman, Superman, Cap or X-Men. All movies are benefiting from Dark Knight and Avengers huge impact. The world is so on board now with these movies, and thats why international numbers are getting bigger and bigger so fast. They love these movies and they are hungry about it so they need more, for some reason, lol. So X-Men will be no different, and what they have on its favour is that XMen is a team movie, unlike Superman, Thor or Cap, so the world will get more interested in team movies, after what happened with Avengers.

What I mean is that right now Team movies will be hotter; with an even bigger cast, even more superpowers, bigger action and all of that it leads to Team movies getting more attention from the general audience, because each viewer has their favorite actors, so in this XMen case, its like all general viewers will be interested in two to three Dofp actors, to say the least, lol. u get what I mean? this cast is huge man, and the world is and will take notice of it

You're only taking into account some of the Pro's, but completely ignoring the cons.

Yes, superhero movies are the in thing now. Generally. But the X-Franchise has dramatically lost viewers in the US since X3 (which is one reason you can't say "oh X3 opened to $103m so DOFP will kill Winter Soldier", it doesn't work like that)

Look at marvelrobbins adjusted numbers for the X-films:

X2 - 297 Million
The Last Stand - 298 million
Origins - 202 Million
FC - 151 Million
The wolverine - 141

That's a drop of $157m from X3 to TW. A lot of people were burned by X3 and XOW. Winning them back isn't easy, especially when there's more superhero options out there than ever before. DOFP will be the 3rd big superhero film inside 2 months, and it has plenty other competition besides.

The world is so on board now with these movies, and thats why international numbers are getting bigger and bigger so fast.

That's largely owed to rapid growth in the overseas markets. As in there are many more theaters now than there were before.

But yeah, if The Wolverine can push $300m OS, then DOFP should push or cross $400m with bigger action/spectacle and a star studded cast (and a good movie).

 

[EnDz0n3]

so Cap2 didnt outgross X3 opening, and yet some people think Dofp wont do more than Cap? XMen will kill Captain America, lol both domestic and WW.

Iron Man ($98 Mil) also didn't outgross X-men 3 opening ($102 Mil) and yet it made a lot more overall.

As has been mentioned X-men movies has had notoriously bad legs at the Box office, Cap might have bad legs too, but there just hasn't been that many movies in that series to study.

This entire sentence is silly. You really think bringing back the original cast is the sole reason why the box office is getting bigger for these movies?

X-Men: First Class & The Wolverine being great films also helps bolster future box office performance. They laid the groundwork for getting this franchise back on track.

The Wolverine did worse than FC domestically so your argument doesn't hold up.

However, what's a given is that X-men movies from here on out will always do tremendous numbers overseas, Domestic will always be a question mark. That's why I'm a supporter of getting famous (and well suited actors) for the big 3 (Scott, Jean and Storm) to make up the absence of the OT actors in X-men: Apocalypse.
