^Thats amazing, we are lucky if a movie stays on for over a month here, even the ridiculously successful ones.

 

[Creo]

Captain America Winter Soldier
Guardians of the Galaxy
Amazing Spider-Man 2
Days of Future Past

I don't particularly like ASM2, and DoFP probably has better action sequences, but the plot and logic of DoFP drives me nuts. The ending is particularly terrible.

 

[BatsDC]

Guardians of the Galaxy
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
X-Men: Days of Future Past
The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Most blockbusters/wide-releases stay in theaters to some extent for 3-4 months in their initial theatrical runs in the USA. Cap2 just finally closed out only a couple of days before the Labor Day weekend a week ago. That was close to 5 months.

 

[Weather Witch]

1) X-Men: Days of Future Past
2) Captain America 2: a little bit of the Winter Soldier (I did really enjoy the movie a lot tho t
3) 300: Rise of an Empire
4) Guardians of the Galaxy

Also I really disliked Transformers and TASM2.

DOFP made a stunning comeback in the poll

 

[psylockolussus]

Thats nice to see!

 

[BeastStorm98]

XMen is def #1 for me. Guardians following closely behind.
1. DOFP
2. GOTG
3. CAP 2
4. AMAZING SPIDERMAN 2

 

[The_Manhunter]

GotG was way cheesier than TWS...

How was it way cheesier? A couple of the songs maybe, but that was the tone that Gunn was going for. But with TWS, which was supposed to be this super serious movie, that whole scene between Cap and Bucky at the end was pretty cheesy - the idea was good, but I just didn't like the dialogue, or the fact that they ditched Cap's new costume in favor of the one from the 40s. It probably didn't help that I was way more interested in what was going on with Fury, Pierce, and Widow either.

If you live in United States, yes!

Unfortunately it's gone where I live. I do have a question about the movie though. Without spoiling it, what was it about DOFP that people loved that made it so much better than the previous X-Men films (which I thought were average to above-average - X2 and First Class being my favorites).

 

[Erzengel]

Well the acting of McAvoy and the Fass is really good. It didn't feel like a Wolverine movie (which is my biggest pet peeves of like the other 3 of them). In the end, let's just say it fixes some things from the previous movies.

 

[StarkTheProdigy]

Even though I voted for GOTG, I am pleased to see DOFP winning.

 

[The Caped Knight]

1. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
2. Guardian of The Galaxy
3. X-Men: Days Of Future Past

 

[Rike]

X-Men: Days of Future Past

 

[Hunter Rider]

1. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
2. Guardians of the Galaxy
3. X-Men: Days of Future Past
4. Transformers: Age of Extinction
5. The Amazing Spider-Man 2

I haven't seen the other 3.

 

[CrypticOne]

X-Men: Days of Future Past

Hands down, one of the best movies of the year, period.

 

[psylockolussus]

^Hands down!

I'm gonna watch 300, Sin City and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when I bought them on DVD.

Unfortunately it's gone where I live. I do have a question about the movie though. Without spoiling it, what was it about DOFP that people loved that made it so much better than the previous X-Men films (which I thought were average to above-average - X2 and First Class being my favorites).

Its like the mix of all the great ingredients of all X-Men films. You have the fun, emotional and fast pace energy from X-Men 3 and First Class. While there's still that depth and dark tone from X2 and X1. And there's intimate moments like what The Wolverine had.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

It's damn near a tie between X-Men and Cap for me.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Most blockbusters/wide-releases stay in theaters to some extent for 3-4 months in their initial theatrical runs in the USA. Cap2 just finally closed out only a couple of days before the Labor Day weekend a week ago. That was close to 5 months.

Thats nuts, would very rarely happen here, think only Avatar lasted this long over here.

New leader in the poll.

While I love TWS, I loved DOFP and GOTG more, so I am glad one of them is winning.

Well it's not like these wide releases that open in three to four thousand screens across the country in their opening weekends get to keep all of those screens for more than a week or two before they start shedding screen numbers as other newer films eat up the demand for them. By the time they leave theaters, they've gone down to only a few dozen screens in the entire country. Also keep in mind that we have about 5X your country's population and 40X your land area(and I'm not even counting Canada in these figures though Canada's box office #'s are part of the domestic total when it's reported). It can take a while for many folks to actually decide to get out to the movies so they hold it in theaters long enough to maximize their potential profits.
