Like every X-Men film, it'll open "fine". Not amazing or even great, just fine. It'll come in just under whatever everyone starts projecting on Friday, and it'll have terrible legs for the next two months.

It's just sort of what you have to expect from this franchise.

LOLOL.... :csad:
 
It's hard to say whether good reviews would have helped the box office or not but i am gonna assume good word of mouth would have been much better then critics talking about how it sucks in an such over the top tones like "X-Men: Apocalypse sends comic book movies back 20 years"

For example, the choice of actor to play Apocalypse. Fans didn't like it. It should be someone taller. More intimidated. But Singer love the actor and went with it.

Cutting scenes of the movie that didn't needed to be cut.

Before release said that he doesn't like extended version of movies and we will not get one for this movie.

Don't paying attention to the characters powers (Psylocke should also have telepathy in this movie and it doesn't show)

Jubilee gets the same treatment Rogue got in DOFP.

The black suits instead of actual costumes cause he doesn't like the costumes from the comics.

Stuff like that.

Again, I dont see how all of that is arrogance. It seems more of a stylistic choice. And how do you know what scenes in Apocalypse needed to be cut. Again not arrogance

It's a stylistic choice based on your own desires, from a studio prospective it's never gonna be seen that way.

Were most of the negative reviews really Ott?

I think it's fair to say that it feels and looks like an early 2000's CBM and some, including myself, just don't like that.

But then why don't we classify what every stylistic choice a director does as arrogance.

Arrogance I think it coming out with something like: "The comic X-Men uniforms are a piece of crap. What I'm doing is much better"

He's not arrogant for making stylistic choices
 
I think domestically it's going to end around The Wolverine/First Class gross when all is said and done and talied.

JP, that was an accurate prediction.

That's one of the reasons why I believe building out rather than up is the best strategy going forward. Once you've got several distinct teams going, you can try to do something like X-tinction Agenda. More destruction isn't going to result in a better box office.
 
Seems Alice and X-Men are eating into each other slightly. X-Men could have been higher if it had the weekend to itself.

They ain't all like that but a lot of the critics are fairly harsh.

I have wondered whether civil war set the bar to high because I really enjoyed X-men: apocalypse, does it have flaws? Yeah sure but it certainly feels like it's underrated right now.

X-Men clearly is a comic book franchise people love but even I had my excitement lessened by the reviews before I see the movie.

And I think X-Men lucked out that Alice is tanking the way it is.
 
The film has a lot pushing against it at the box office, including BVS and civil war coming out the same year which may be a odd thing to say but both were pretty big and hype movies, DOFP had TASM2 and captain America which were probably not as hyped
 
80 Million for 4 day not 3 isn't great.It could drop to 30 Million next weekend.

i say if your fan of present series it's time to get nevroas what will happen with
franchise beyond wolverine solo film which is in production now with exception
of Deadpool sequel.That made too much money for their not to press forward with sequel.

If jackman sticks to his guns the only way your going to get a present day set full X-men film is a reboot which could be on the table.very unlikely now
based on this of apocalypse hitting 200 million domesticly.we are looking at
160 to 180 million domestic gross Likely now.

Those hating on films will be having a field day now.

doesn't matter what is setup In Apocalypse beyond the post credit scene
which is tie in for wolverine solo film
if apocalypse is disappointment.phoenix set up and ending of film will led to nothing if apocalypse is box office disappointment.

if you look at casino royale and amazing spider-man the only change behind the scenes may be if they reboot is singer will be gone.kinberg could still be writing and producing.the writers of Die another day have continued to have hand in all 4 rebooted bond films.on ifrst ASM film alvin sargent one of writers of SPider-man 2 and 3 worked on the script so it isn't crazy that Kinberg continues to write and produce.

I don't think that particularly counted against it. There was enough space. Maybe the contrast with Captain America wasn't great, since its reviews were so much better. Negative reviews in general didn't help (though it's impossible to truly quantify how much they hurt either).

which is going to be a disaster for franchise.The wolverine grossed 132 million
domesticly and First Class grossed 146 Million.

The wolverine cost 120 million.First class cost 160 Million.Apocalypse cost
178 million reportly.

With first Class they responded by bringing back original cast.that's not an
option after apocalypse with jackman saying he is done after wrapping new wolverine film.

The chances for a reboot is going up.

Actually I think it will end a little higher than those TW and FC, but not by much.

Could you please use proper capitalization and formatting for your posts?

Unless they actually did make some sort of deal with Marvel Studios, I would say a reboot is quite unlikely. There's little to gain from it.

Well technically no because they green lit FC2 even after FC, they didn't green light X4, the OC coming back grew out of the story planning process and not as a response.
