I hope the DVD of XFC will earn at least US$50 million.
Efforts by 20th Century Fox, owned by the News Corporation, to restart its “X-Men” and “Planet of the Apes” franchises were particularly impressive. Fox took creative risks with “X-Men: First Class” and “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” and it was rewarded with hits that will spawn sequels.
“The lesson for us is that different and original is always hard and always a risk but has great upside,” said Tom Rothman, co-chairman of Fox Filmed Entertainment. “While both of those films had genetic material in common with their original franchises, both were very, very original pieces.” Notably, “First Class” and “Rise” received some of the summer’s best reviews.
There's no direct quote confirming the sequel, but it looks promising.

Definitely sounds promising. I'm happy that FOX took some chances and believe that it paid off. There was always a little fear that the numbers First Class achieved would spur them on in the opposite direction. Hopefully we'll never see another XO:W again.

X-Men first Class took them back to X-Men and X2 days.We are almost certainly getting a
first Class sequel.Now let's hope the rewrites to the Wolverine aren't too major.
The bigger question now Is how much longer after The Wolverine will we get a full X-Men
film.I certently am looking forward to The Wolverine but I really waiting for another full
X Team film.
I'm far more interested in a X-Men: First Class sequel than anymore solo wolverine movies.
