And the numbers from any of the movies, may they be sequels or reboots or adaptations of IPs that have come out in the past few years does not support that "opinion."My only point was the audience now wants more originality. But there is a certain fanbase that takes offense to a harmless opinion.
Huh? You assume Marvel fans are some monolithic group that all watch every Marvel movie.based off the usual huge Marvel comic fan base, it should be at least in the 70 million range over the weekend.
X-men making $54Mil in the year 2000 was a big deal. At the time it was the biggest non-sequel opening ever. The year it opened, X-men was the second biggest opening so far, following only Mi:2.i'm still stunned that as popular as Xmen are as a comic book, they have NEVER eclipsed and reached the 100 million opening weekend mark...
Not even the best of the Xmen or Xmen -related movies (X2, Xmen, 1st Class, Days of Future Past, Logan, Wolverine) have achieved that feat.
Spider-man 1 making $114 in 3 days two years later was unheard of.
X2 opening to $85Mil in 2003 was also a big deal. Matrix Reloaded, a bigger deal and a more pedigreed franchise back in the day, opened 2 weeks later to $90Mil. The two franchises were seen as rivals.
First Class came after the one-two punch of X3 and X-men Origins Wolverine. 'Nuff said.
You're right though, DOFP and Logan should have opened north of $100Mil.Why is that ? (never maxing 100 million at box office on opening weekend) .....
