I said if my memory recalls correctly. I didn’t go literally look it up. You did—which is great. I wasn’t far off. My point still stands!746m is not "nearly 800m".
That inflation exist? Close the front door. Not a helpful metric in an environment where less tickets are sold overall.I said if my memory recalls correctly. I didn’t go literally look it up. You did—which is great. My point still stands!
You’re missing me. The point is an X-Men franchise introduced properly in the MCU has the potential to hit a billion dollars at the box office. It has to have the right factors in its favor, of course. But DC and Marvel Studios would kill for Superman and Fantastic Four to reach $750M right now, and the X-Men are arguably more popular than both franchises—back then and now. I think the potential is there despite the current situation.
I'm not missing you. I think you're missing me. Days of Future Past doesn't get to 746m in this environment. Where China and South Korea has fallen off a cliff for superhero movies. Where Russia is literally closed.
It might go to 500m, but I don't see it breaking it or even getting in the vicinity of 600m. I could be wrong of course, but the 60% drop off in the second week wasn't great news.
I consider 97 the Andor of the recent Marvel sludge. Might not have the desired viewership, but quality was superior. At this stage, I think X-Men should be a high budget limited TV Show kind of what I think F4 should have been. Then finely weave it into to a big movie event parallel to the Avengers events.
I loved that movie. Sad the follow-up was dogsh*tX-Men: Days of Future Past—the official “swan song” with the legacy cast—grossed nearly $800M globally if I recall correctly. And that was back in the 2010s. Now, when you adjust that number for inflation by today’s theater expenses…
I do think it's important to note that without China, Korea, and Russia Civil War, Iron Man 3, Far From Home, and Captain Marvel wouldn't of made a billion.
97 is good. Andor is some of the best television there has ever been.
I’m simply arguing for the potential of what can be. I think the X-Men stand next to Spider-Man as being the royalty of Marvel. For decades, they outranked the Avengers and the Fantastic Four. In fact, some of the most recognizable and popular mainstream Marvel heroes—Storm, Wolverine, etc., come with that IP. Seriously: who would’ve seen Deadpool and Wolverine’s billion dollar blowout coming last year? Again, they’re from the X-Men umbrella.
I'm not talking about everything being a billion dollar movie like Phase 3. Over these various threads, I have said a thousand times that those days are probably over. But that doesn't mean they cannot all get substantial bumps.
I don't mean you. Just in general. I feel like some think that rebuilding means the success of the past.
I didn't say 600m. I said it's getting to 500m.
Andor was phenomenal and I honestly wished we could have gotten more of that quality instead of Episode 7. The world building was outstanding.
I know, that's just what I was saying. Not breaking 500 and not reaching 600 essentially, but might just reach 500.
On its current pace, it's getting between 520-570 WW. So even with bad drops, should get to 520
I do not know what your first language is, but "breaking 500 Mil" is getting 500m and one dollar.
ain't breaking 500 Mil -> not breaking 500 Million is what I wrote
What?
