Days of Future Past The Official X-Men: First Class Box Office Discussion Thread! - Part 1

[craigdbfan]

I don't see why it can't reach $200 million internationally. Especially since it's been out for only 3 weeks and it already in that vicinity.

I say another 20 max. 15 more realistic. It needs another 37m to reach 200m. I could be wrong but I don't think it will make that much. Here's hoping though.

It's been passed $200 mil WW for a while now.

It's at $282 mil WW and it'll probably reach $300 mil + WW when all is said and done.

 

[psylockolussus]

This movie better reach $140M in US alone!

 

[psylockolussus]

Hopefully soon, I just can't stand seeing "The Hangover II" besting First Class in the Box Office, it's just not right.

Well XFC is the fifth X-Men movie, I don't think The Hangover franchise can reach its 5th movie.

 

[Downhere]

If it were to decline every weekend by 50%, that's already an additional $20 million. I don't really know how they calculate weekend totals for foreign countries, but I'm pretty sure this doesn't include weekdays, so there's still a little bit to add there. I think it'll get really close as the weekend holds hopefully get a little bit better. Some foreign countries have large overall multipliers.

Exactly, it will reach $200 million internationally with another 140-150 million domestically, your talking about $340-350 million for its worldwide total. Hopefully enough to secure a sequel.

 

[Angamb]

it will be enough.

 

[chaseter]

This movie better reach $140M in US alone!

It will. I laid out my prediction somewhere in here and it has made that each week or pretty close. I said it would make 12 million this weekend and it was 11.5 or something. It should end up at 140-150 domestic.

It's at 120 right now, it will get another 10-12 million this week, 5-6 the week after, about 2-3 the next week, and then about 1-2 it's final week in theaters. So, that's about 140-150. $150 million though is the ceiling for this thing. It won't cross that.

 

[Angamb]

I think it depends of how many weeks Fox want the movie on theathres.

If FC stay on threatres a few more weeks than X1, it can surpass its domestic gross.

so... fingers crossed!

 

[Electrix]

Once it cross $300 million (and does well on DVD) Fox will have little excuse not to make a sequel. The cast are about to blow up (Fassbender and Lawrence in particular) so there's plenty of room for growth.

 

[chaseter]

I bet they all signed on for 2 or 3 films.

 

[Electrix]

Most likely. It'll just be a case of scheduling and making sure Lawrence isn't filming The Hunger Games back-to-back or anything.

Once the numbers roll in Fox will probably make a decision (if they haven't already) and tell the cast the set time aside for filming in 2012/2013 for a summer 2014 release. At least this time they'll be prepared in advance so they can claim an early May date like the previous films.

There was a huge Green Lantern billboard here in my city...it was torn down before the film even opened, which i thought was a bad omen!

The big one by my office was being taken down this morning. I suspect Harry Potter will in that space when I leave work today.

 

[JP]

It will. I laid out my prediction somewhere in here and it has made that each week or pretty close. I said it would make 12 million this weekend and it was 11.5 or something. It should end up at 140-150 domestic.

As did I. And each week it's been doing just about what I laid out. So I don't see how $140 million at least isn't a possibility.

It's gonna make just over a million Today through Thursday. About $5m this weekend.

 

[Angamb]

My bet is:

- This Weekend: $300M Worldwide
- Next weekend: $310M

Any more bets?? t:

 

[JP]

So, First Class was actually underestimated. Actuals for the weekend are 11.9million. Domestic total is 120.3!

 

[marvelrobbins]

A rare piece of good news on Box office.Let's see tomorrow How It holds out on weekdays now that It Is In fourth place.If It can hold up In the 1 Million range that
will be good news.If we are lucky maybe It hit 125 Million before Cars 2 hits.This was
first weekend It actual did a bit better than the sunday estimates.

 

[Angamb]

any more bet?

What did you expect from Genosha

 

[Superhero 101]

any more bet?

t:

I Bet it will only make about 320

 

[Sweet Xstacy]

It's been passed $200 mil WW for a while now.

It's at $282 mil WW and it'll probably reach $300 mil + WW when all is said and done.

I'm talking about international (foreign) total. I know the ww total has passed it.

Most of the movies had a good Sunday hold due to father's day.

 

[Angamb]

I Bet it will only make about 320

I thought that could be the final number too.... but Ill change my final bet:

Once thee become more famous then it will be expensive for Fox to get them back (X-trilogy situation). I have a feeling that Jennifer will be the one who would turn down the role. After all Mystique will become more silent and deadly.

 

[akfj]

It depends if she's already signed on for more films. If that's the case then it won't be a problem.

 

[psylockolussus]

$38 million only to beat X1's US box-office.

 

[merbass]

It depends if she's already signed on for more films. If that's the case then it won't be a problem.

In that case then there is Hunger games to worry about. The movie is also a franchise and may be she might be stuck filming it back to back !
