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

[HIA]

true about Ironman, thats why I didnt include him on the list, lol.
Still, Im pretty confident in X-Men this time around, I knows its hard to know, but... Im confident and we will find it out on May.

 

[EnDz0n3]

Oh I'm right there with you I hope DOFP outgrosses the other releases this summer but sadly I think it's a long shot.

The Transformers franchise really is a head scratcher.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Kinda wish DOFP was the first of the season.

I just want this top be the biggest grossing X-Men movie. After that I don't care how much it makes though I'd love if it went far beyond expectations and was a runaway hit.

 

[BMM]

If The Wolverine can gross $415 million, I have no doubt Days of Future Past will outgross The Last Stand.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

What percentage of the box office do you guys think repeat theatre viewings account for?

 

[marvelrobbins]

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.



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.

There Is no telling what characters will be In Apocalypse. Too many are counting their chickens before they are hatched especilly when we remember at who was choosen as characters for FC and DOFP

Spoiler

People have taken it for granted cyclops,jean,and Storm will all be In next film but if time travel erases past films or creates split timeline as some want here all bets are off on who will appear especilly since we know nightcrawler and Gambit are being conisdered for apocalypse

and casting big name stars takes money away from things like Special effects. If DOFP doesn't do as fox wants Apocalypse will get smaller budget than DOFP.

 

[X-Maniac]

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.

I'm sure that's what you'd like to see - which amounts to Fox admitting defeat and giving over the calendar to Marvel Studios - but I don't know if it's practical.

Many of the X-Men stories are blockbuster material, not micro-budget indie-style flicks.

Equally, the F4 franchise (with Doctor Doom, Galactus, etc) does not immediately lend itself to some small-scale flick.

Also worth mentioning that the studio has not moved forward with the smaller-budgeted Deadpool movie - and is next planning X-Men Apocalypse - so it's clearly aiming to rebuild (and expand) the franchise not shrink or dismantle it.

While SOME smaller-scale films would be fine for suitable spin-off material (such as Deadpool), I can't see how they could make all X-Men films on a small budget. Not with the large cast and all the special effects.

Those on the fox sucks and MS/Disney Is gold cword would love for fox to quit the blockbuster superhero game and do small films.

Untill the avatar sequels arrive It seems like fox blockbuster films are the X-Men/FF shared universe and Planet of the apes films.

Singer saying we'll be seeing younger X-men members as counterparts to their OT characters is good enough confirmation as any that we'll at least see the big three, especially this early in the film's "production." We won't hear official confirmation from Singer for a good while yet.

Besides, I very much doubt there's a lot of younger actors today that would command bigger paycheques than JLaw, Hugh, Halle, McKellen and Fassbender. So complaining that these "big name" younger actors would take away money from SF/X has no basis.

Speaking of counting chickens before they hatch...a certain someone who's all doom and gloom about DOFP's box office take based solely on Capt's first weekend.

Some want after time travel of DOFP for them to basicly ignore the OT If they do that who knows who would be In lineup for apocalypse especilly If Nightcrawler and Gambit make the cut.

As far as stars go you do realize with james Mcavoy,Michael fassbender,Jennifer Lawrence,and Nicholas Hoult contract expiring with apocalypse it's quite likely apart from apocalypse they will get main focus In next film.

I didn't make up numbers. With Boxoffice.com captain America's predictions very close to what it did I took Into account their DOFP preiction. And if they continue to be mostly right DOFP will be third grossing comic book film of 2014.

 

[GuestStar2004]

Its likely cyclops,jean and storm will be in the next film but it doesn't mean mcavoy,Lawrence,fassbender and hoults won't get big roles though

 

[EnDz0n3]

Who was saying they won't have big roles?

It's more about finding a profitable niche than it is admitting defeat. I don't think FOX has the horses to effectively go head to head with WB or Marvel (Sony's expanded Spidey-verse is in an even worse position), and zigging while the other studios zag makes sense to me. We'll probably know a lot more about FOX's future strategy after they've finished counting the DOFP receipts.

 

[marvelrobbins]

Its likely cyclops,jean and storm will be in the next film but it doesn't mean mcavoy,Lawrence,fassbender and hoults won't get big roles though

If they don't try to bring back jackman It's very possibly the major new X-Man
could be gambit and other X-Men could be second fiddle to him,Xavier,Magneto,
Mystique,Beast,and Apocalypse.

 

[Malik]

I'm sure that's what you'd like to see - which amounts to Fox admitting defeat and giving over the calendar to Marvel Studios

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Here's hoping the movie is a financial success.

If this doesn't attract audiences with the caliber of cast, scale of story and action then I don't see what can be done for the franchise in order to do so.

 

[Malik]

I hope it's good, if it's a good movie it will make money, see the wolverine.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Yeh but also see Dredd

 

[Malik]

Dredd is an obscure character

 

[psylockolussus]

This feels like the prediction I kept hearing that Frozen would only appeal to little girls.

Frozen is different though, it was being released in November and not in a crowded summer. I also had a feeling it would be a big success just like Tangled and Tangled was also released in November.

I always knew it would outgross The Wolverine.

It is a 4 day weekend, and the film is finally getting hyped. I think something like $130m is definitely in play.

I would be so happy if X-Men gets more than $100 million in the opening weekend.

Wait a few years, lick your wounds, maybe release a Deadpool movie to fill time. Reboot and embrace the 4-color comic book origin of the source material a bit more. That's not a slam on the X-Men franchise mind you, but that's what you would do.

 

[Rike]

Hell no.

I'm talking GA. If this doesn't attract them then changing the colour of the outfits won't change that.

 

[Hcmarvel]

I'm talking GA. If this doesn't attract them then changing the colour of the outfits won't change that.

Oh I don't agree in the slightest. If this movie fails it could be any combination of these reasons -

1. If it's bad. The critics hate it. Word of mouth is venomous. Etc.

2. If one of the three superhero movies in this 7 week stretch was going to fail and X-Men drew the short straw

3. That, after seven entries in the franchise, people are sick of the X-Men.

4. That the GA has moved on from the X-Men, especially since it's been so long since the X-Men "they" know

5. The Marketing, that so many outlets have been (rightfully) critical of really hampers excitement.

or, and this is what I had in mind when I said they may have to consider a reboot if it fails -

6. People associate this version of the X-Men with last decade. The leather, the dark silver and blue tones, even the cast. The last 6 years have been dominated by Marvel's, for good or bad, house style of embracing the costumes and settings in a house style kind of way.

Also, this is a bit worrisome
