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

[X-Maniac]

Excuse my ignorance but when is it that we can tell the amount Cap has "really" made? also same question for spiderman.

It's not rocket science, lol.

Go to Box Office Mojo and look up some previous Marvel movies and see how long they were running in cinemas.

That does vary, depending on how well the movie is doing (movies that are doing badly get pulled) and on its worldwide release schedule. But it should give some idea.

After a couple of months a film is usually pretty close to its final tally.

BO.com upped their predictions a bit...

Opening: $108,000,000*
Cumulative: $230,000,000

This just feels like it's shaping up to be both the biggest and the best X-Men movie.

Is that good or bad?

Is that good or bad?

Not amazing. X2 made $215m cumulative domestically in 2003.

 

[Zarex]

Cap 2 already earned 500 million worldwide in 2 weeks and Captain America isn't as big as the X-Men.

CA:TFA and XM:FC were neck and neck at the box office in 2011, and I see similar results for CA:TWS and DOFP this year. The two franchises are pretty much equal in terms of popularity.

Is that good or bad?

low, taking into account the nature of this movie, X3 making 245m or so without 3D 8 years ago, and how other comic movies have made much more in the latest years. Dofp should be able to have a huge impact this year.

FC was a reboot with a new cast. Cap 2 has outperformed because Cap 2 has smashed people's expectations (film quality).

Cap was a completely new franchise and XMOFP should outperform due to the integration of the two casts. Right now, in terms of popularity,
Cap = X Men.

 

[SuperT]

I would agree with that - I think Cap and the X-Men movie franchises are probably on equal footing popularity wise currently.

 

[Tymminator]

I really can't make a real legit guess yet at Domestic, I'm betting know that X-M: DoFP will have the biggest foreign take of all previous X-Films. I feel that's a safe bet.

Cap's popularity has grown, makes you wonder what heroes will also get their time to shine in the future, say, 10 years from now. Who knows? Maybe in 2023 the big hero the world is excited for could be Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel...you never know. The right actor combined to the right role=GOLD.

Good or bad that they RAISED their predictions?

 

[marvelrobbins]

Good. why would projection being raised be considered bad?

 

[Iceman]

Cap = X Men.

Well now that Cap has gone through the revitalisation of TWS I think he has reached that level for now, and will kick on again after AoU and Cap 3. But I also think X-films in general have vastly underperformed their box office potential. They were on the right track with X2 and had they continued in that vein building in one continuity and slowly adding big characters I think they'd be huge by now, over $1B with every film. But at this precise moment I'll agree the 2 are similar level franchises.

Awesome! I think before it was 103 and 221. Still though I hope it makes more than that (and subsequently more overall) for it's 4 day weekend. Afterall X3 made $122 for those 4-days. For my own sanity, DOFP has to make more than Ratner's weak film...

low, taking into account the nature of this movie, X3 making 245m or so without 3D 8 years ago, and how other comic movies have made much more in the latest years. Dofp should be able to have a huge impact this year.

Not quite. It made $234 Mil. $230 Mil is not that far off and I can still see the predictions besting that in the coming weeks.

 

[Malik]

It was voted the third most anticipated film behind mockingjay and hobbit 3 in fandango, I'm surprised.

 

[psylockolussus]

This just feels like it's shaping up to be both the biggest and the best X-Men movie.

I will be pretty disappointed if it doesn't outgross X3's $234 million gross in the U.S. So hopefully it will earn more than $230 million in the U.S.

CA:TFA and XM:FC were neck and neck at the box office in 2011, and I see similar results for CA:TWS and DOFP this year. The two franchises are pretty much equal in terms of popularity.

I wasn't just talking about the films.

But in comic-book universe and other media platforms.

If Captain America could have as many popular videogames/cartoons as the X-Men. And Captain America will outsell X-Men in comic-book sales. Then we could call Captain America bigger than the X-Men but no.

 

[CB Fan]

Wish this was coming out during the thanksgiving to christmas season just to give it some room to breathe. It has been proven many times that a film can be released during the winter holidays and make huge bank.

 

[SuperT]

The Hunger Games already has the Thanksgiving timing locked up for the next two years and DOFP would get demolished at the BO going up against that.

Christmas also has The Hobbit and Disney's big Into the Woods production.

In comic sales, no. But in every other platform - apparel, toys, video games, Halloween costumes, home goods, animation - Cap has a much higher profile than the X-Men. Admittedly, most of that has to do with the rights issue, but it is what it is.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Currently Cap has X-Men dominated in merchandise & cartoons since Disney are pushing Avengers and burying X-Men in those departments.

 

[Snikt]

Currently Cap has X-Men dominated in merchandise & cartoons since Disney are pushing Avengers and burying X-Men in those departments.

And that's in part because Marvel has not been merchandising the X-Men like they used to back in 2000-2009.

 

[Dr. Evil]

You won't feel this way when Disney releases a ton of toys related to the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Besides, who wouldn't want a Rocket Raccoon plush stuff toy?

That will mean they are burying X-Men and pushing GOTG,

 

[GuestStar2004]

it looks like they are marketing GOTG very cleverly

very gutsy of marvel, i suspect it will pay off
