Don't expect the North American box office to break the Memorial Day holiday weekend record set last year when the top ten grossed over $300M over four days. But do expect multiplexes to be packed with moviegoers as two new releases join forces with holdovers from the past to make for 2014's top-grossing weekend to date.

Fox will conquer the marketplace with ease with its big-budget tentpole X-Men: Days of Future Past which is part sequel and part super hero combo-pack. The PG-13 event film brings together characters from the original films from the franchise as well as those from the more recent First Class with the popular Wolverine at the center of it all. The fourteen-year-old series has remained mostly successful over the years with six pictures including spinoffs and the origin story. Fan excitement is super high thanks to the love many gave to First Class as well as to the return of veteran favorites like Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen who get to share the 'and' credit on this one.

Add to that the rising star wattage of Jennifer Lawrence since First Class and the long holiday weekend and grosses will be enormous. Working against it will be the competition. Although the marketplace expands over this holiday session, there will still be Godzilla in its second weekend plus Marvel buddy Spidey is still out there looking to stay in double-digit territory in its fourth lap. In 2006, X-Men: The Last Stand launched over this same frame with a huge $122.9M propelled by fan love for the preceding two X-Men flicks. The big difference was that in that year, Stand had no major action movies to compete against. The closest action titles were in the single-digit millions over four days. Future Past will see about $60M going to the current duo of effects-heavy action holdovers this weekend.

Reviews have been stellar for the new mutant saga. The core comic crowd is already sold, but the praise from critics will help lure in more general audiences looking for a big-screen spectacle with Oscar-caliber actors over the long weekend. Marketing has been very effective and fan interest is intense. Shows start at 10:00pm Thursday night. Attacking 3,996 theaters, X-Men: Days of Future Past could take in around $110M by the end of the long holiday weekend.

Well remember Godzilla originally was tracking In the 70 million range and opened at 91 million.It wasn't untill the strong midnight showings before they said it could hit 100 million.

DOFP Is looking like it's actully good unlike what some are saying about godzilla.

I am sure there will be those that don't like DoFP the way some like Godzilla. :funny:
 
Yep, 100 Million 3 Day would be the best 3 day of the year so far. That should be the goal.
 
I think to reach $100m for 3 days it needs to at least be around $120m for the 4 day. To beat Cap2 for #1 of the year so far, around $114m.

3-day???

Are all these predictions just based off of past performance or?
 
And tracking. It depends on the site.

I'm actually crazy nervous. The midnight numbers we get tomorrow will be telling.
 
Mojo is usually pretty good, though even they underestimated Godzilla. If I remember correctly, they nailed TWS and TASM2, and were pretty close on Neighbors.
 
The opening numbers will be strong. Now I'm worried about the legs. The film just isn't accessible. The convoluted plot and inconsistencies. The ending that left people going "huh". The time travel that simply was going to make a bigger mess no matter how they sliced and diced it. But it's not the first time we've had a time travel film. It's not the first time movies aren't as accessible (see Nolan) as the general block buster, albeit Days of Future Past is so for entirely different reasons than Dark Knight or Inception. Is this a reason for intrigue? I need to watch it again, and that tells you what you need to know. The movie worked for me, but it didn't work.

50/50 on this now. Gonna stay at 320/800 for this one but I think it could be a huge swing in the negative. Critics don't seem to think the film falls apart or anything, with all the positive buzz.

Two things.

First, this film's plot was pretty cut and dry. I don't see how anyone over the age of 13 couldn't understand what was going on unless they are simply not paying any kind of attention.

Second, if Inception made over 800 million worldwide and is viewed as not accessible, then this film should have no problem whatsoever.
 
This film DESERVES big BO bank. I am rooting for this to do like 800 mil! Excellent, excellent films deserve that :up:

Nice. I'll be seeing it in less then 10 hours now. I hope I enjoy it as much. Afterall my man crush McAvoy is probably gonna kill it like he did with First Class. :woot:

Any prediction on the box office? Did you go to a normal showing? Was your theater packed?

Box office Mojo Is predicitng 98 milion for 3 day and 119 for 4 day total

OK, we'll that's seeming better than some of the numbers I was hearing earlier. I just think with 3D and the fact that this is just a vastly superior movie to X3, that this should get more than that did.

I went to a 3D and it was half full, but I wouldn't read much into that. This theater only sells out for like, LOTR, Avatar, etc. Very rarely. If I was still living in Pittsburgh, I'd bet there it would be packed. Personally, with the buzz, I think over 100 mil could be possible.

Oh, McAvoy totally kills it! :oldrazz:

:awesome:

Yeah, I don't live in a big city anymore, so late showings rarely sell out at my local theater either. So what are you thinking, $100m for the 3 day weekend? Because the 4 day weekend will easily be over $100m. The RT score could give it a nice boost. Anyone on the fence won't be for much longer.

Thinking between 95 or just over 100 mil for the 3 Day. Not sure on the 4 Day. Hopefully it does well that Monday due to WOM.
