The time travel element in XMEN - Day's of Future Past is the biggest reason why I think it will be a Blockbuster unlike any other XMEN film. Take a good luck at this list of time travel films I have compiled and how much gross they made.
Keep in mind that most of this list not adjusted for inflation but at the time of release they were VERY high grossing films. There is something about the fascination with TIME TRAVEL with people that seems to draw them to these types of films. Most recently was Men In Black 3 which sits just outside of this list. We also have a few lower budget films that went on to be cult classics such as "Hot Tub Time Machine, Twelve Monkey's, Strange Day's and TimeCop to name a few. The possibility of meeting ourselves, of gazing on ourselves from the outside is the paradoxical event that perhaps fascinates most of us in all the narratives on time travel, both in literature and at the movies. The difference between literature and film in this respect is that, thanks to the point-of-view, we the spectators can be perceptively, almost physically part of this unattainable gaze. We look at ourselves while we see and we make ourselves seen at the same time. Most people wonder what will happen if they changed just one thing in there life, what direction would it have gone. What if Steve Jobs would have never met Bill Gates?
10. Back to the Future Part III ($164.25 million)
9. Star Trek: First Contact ($164.27 million)
8. Terminator III: Rise of the Machines ($197 million)
7. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home ($228 million)
6. Back to the Future Part II ($232 million)
5. Star Trek ($273 million)
4. Austin Powers in Goldmember ($290 million)
3. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me ($321 million)
2. Terminator 2: Judgment Day ($385 million)
1. Back to the Future ($467 million)
This aspect of the film is something I am looking forward to.
