Apocalypse X-Men: Apocalypse Box Office Prediction Thread - Part 2

[Electrix]

Yeah but like everything on a contract if you don't use it within a certain amount of time its gone, they can't leave it that long, 2019 or maybe the latest 2020 but yeah at some point the contracts would expire.

I doubt Fox would want to wait more than 3 years. Even if the next film is released in 2019 they'd still start filming in 2018.

Singers vision and tone is still pretty grounded

if they set new mutants around the same time period then they could carefully plan something cool out if they did it right

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I think that the next X-Men film will come out in 2019. A 3 year gap instead of the two year gap Apocalypse had. And the budget will most definitely be lower.

 

[Smilodon]

from internet.if people don't say give it back to marvel they often say just reboot.and some say it needs to be rebooted to fit in world of deadpool.

and some are naive if they think Kinberg would go too.

I would advise you to take some time off the internet - they're clearly bothering you and causing you to overexaggerate and get ahead of yourself.

And as I've been saying - another time skip + new creative blood = basically a reboot. No need to actually reboot because of it.

 

[Abudefduf]

I still think trapping the whole cast in the past is a turn-off to some people. The general audience wants their superheroes to have that modern edge, to feel contemporary. Having all of them live in another decade just makes them feel... outdated.

I realize I'm not really making any sense, but still. Plus I really want that Deadpool crossover.

Only if they reboot.with Kinberg working on X-force script that's film likely coming in 2019 if they stick to present plans.

And the problem with that scenario is what exactly?

 

[daddydivine]

Yeah I still maintain that Apocalypse should have been CGI but the quality of the CGI matters.

CGI is so weird these days. So many companies participate in creating the CGI it's getting hard to see who the great companies are. The first Avenger had a very amazing looking Hulk I was like wow... then all of a sudden Hulks quality drops in AOU. Then you get a movie like Deadpool where the CGI is kinda amazing for 60 mil. Come right back and spend 178 mil on some bootleg looking CGI for Apoc. It don't make no damn sense.

And they couldn't possibly find someone else to write it.

 

[Iceman]

What can they show in the next trailers to show "promise"

I was just talking of having basic visuals at the level of other top blockbusters rather than seeming like a B-level blockbuster. This is going to be even more important for getting the audience back than making a great film as we've had great films that haven't ignited the box office.

 

[DACrowe]

Well this is definitely bad news to see. I presume this could mean a very reduced X-Men budget for the next one. And while some aren't feeling Phoenix or going to space, I think doing that over several films is one way to "reset" expectations for the franchise and go in a different direction. If it is just X-Men vs. Sinister, it will be a lot harder to differentiate that for most folks from X-Men vs. Apocalypse.

Oh well. It probably was both hurt by Alice and is in itself saving some face in the press by defeating that film. Nevertheless, this is not great for Fox. The only silver lining is it may force Simon Kinberg to reevaluate his script writing responsibilities. I'm sure Fox is. I also bet this means Lawrence is gone, which while I liked her Raven in the first two films, it is probably best for the franchise if the character departs.

The writing is on the wall: this franchise needs new blood and new direction, because there is still life in it. The question is who that will come from and where will it go.

 

[MadVillainy]

what can they do to bring X-Men into the modern age in terms of storytelling and aesthetic (not just moving the cast to the present)

except kinberg is unlikely to be going anwhere.if FF didn't cause that then apocalypse won't eather.

and they might as well reboot since many want them to be just like MCU or deadpool.

 

[Serpico Jones]

Apocalypse already had a pretty low budget for a summer comic book tentpole with $178m. They can't go much lower than that.

How did you manage to respond to my post with that? Literally no part of my post had to deal with Kinberg, the MCU or Deadpool.

 

[GuestStar2004]

The problem isn't that the X-men ain't modern in terms of storytelling and aesthetic, infact i was watching a review earlier that claimed there was very little about it that felt like it was set in the 80s.

Acting like sticking it in the present will help is like saying guardiand of the galaxy shouldn't have made as much as it did because

1. the only part set on earth was in the 80s and the music is very 80s.

2. the rest is set in outa space and not on earth where the avengers are or where we are so we can't relate to them.

nah that wasn't the budget.

 

[X-Maniac]

He's gone on a real downer, into a negative spiral of despair...

 

[Zero_Effect]

Hopefully the production cost of 178M is correct on this because X-Men doesn't have the fan base to justify 200+M budgets. I mean you really couldn't do much better then Days of Future Past and that couldn't get to 750 million.

 

[daddydivine]

Is Kinberg like Fox's Feige? Cause the guys hands are literally in everything. Plus he co-wrote two of the worst Fox Marvel films of all time. They REALLY need some new blood.

Did you just compare Singer's aesthetic, to the colorful futuristic space of GotG?

Don't so sure kinberg will go.

inless by a miracle it beats project then i think fox is going to reboot.even if they don't lawrence is probally gone.

Unfortully X_men as it exsists is probally gone.say goodbye to dark,seriousness,and allegary with X-Men.it will probally go more comedic from now on.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Nothing. I think that extra year will be a good thing as I think Apocalypse needed more time.

 

[MadVillainy]

I havent seen the movie yet, but just from what ive seen of the trailers, the fact that this is the 3rd film with some of the cast that include a couple Oscar nominees/winners (do actor's salaries count in the production budget?) I can tell this is a 200 mill+ movie
