That's what I've been trying to tell them... and they're not getting it.
Folks, I'd rather have Fox and Vaughn focus on making a good sequel first. When that's in order, then pick the best release date for it. Whether that means moving DoFP up to early July, keeping it in the July 18 spot or moving it to early spring or fall 2014... the quality is what's important.
X-Men will do fine in any release date. Make a good movie, get the word out, and promote it right -- people will flock to see it whether it's in February, March, April, July or even early November.
Umm you have to remember that this movie will cost at least more than $120 million and just because its going to be a good movie, it doesn't mean it will automatically do well at the Box-Office if its released on any month. FOX always releases the X-Men movies during the summer because there are more money, more people watch movies during the summer compare to months like January, February, September and October.
First Class was released on June and a lot of people said that it didn't do that well because of the release date and that it should have been released in May or July. And now that the movie finally got a July release date, we suddenly got this news about The Hobbit opening in the same day with X-Men: Days of Future Past. Its not a good news.
