Apocalypse X-Men: Apocalypse Box Office Prediction Thread - Part 5

[TheNewSlayer]

I remember predicting 500 million after the early reviews were mixed leaning to bad and people thought I was crazy. Oh, how sad.

X-Men Apocalypse right now is in third place at the all time x-men series box office, this a great achievement.

This movie will for sure make 500M.

We're getting a sequel no matter what.

 

[SoNicRaDiATioN]

At this point, they probably should reboot, and have Deadpool the start of a new universe.

Agreed. But I doubt they will. The franchise will likely limp on financially. An R-rated X-Force film will probably be the big breadwinner for this universe going forward.

Or just get a new creative team, try to keep Singer as a producer, don't keep Kinberg as a writer or if they do, have someone by his side to fix his mistakes, focus on just Cyclops, Storm, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Quicksilver, Professor X, Beast, and Jubliee as main characters for the next movie, give Magneto and Mystique a break so people won't whine (or have them as cameos), have a lower budget, don't do a time skip, don't go straight into space, find another release date for the film to succeed, don't follow any trends, market it better, and keep Deadpool out of the main stories unless you want another "Wolverine hogging the film" situation that people keep claiming.

That may sound like a lot of things to do but i'll take that over another pointless reboot that ore likely won't solve anything except bring more frustration and confusion.
Jeez some of y'all act like they in a Sony situation.

At this point deadpool is what would make X-force the breadwinner, take out deadpool and it would probably not be that anymore, that's the issue.

And the last thing we need Fox to do is to rely on Deadpool for everything.

I agree.

Thats pretty much going by the idea that if you don't focus of mystique and magneto a much bigger audience would go see this movie... this probably isn't the case at all, there are many people who love to see fassbender as magneto and him not being there would get the typical wolverine attitude of why isn't he in the movie? meh not interested then, and obvious with lawrence she has her fans, like i remember those Emojis created for twitter had been retweeted alot and i noticed that jean had been retweeted 400 times and mystique was retweeted 800 times...

So while i agree the films need some fresh blood injected into it i don't think its as simple as take out 2 characters and focus on others and success awaits them because the problem is likely not with the cast.

They aren't rebooting we just got these new characters and regardless what people may want they are moving forward with them. It dosent even need to rebooting just fixed by someone else.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

And the last thing we need Fox to do is to rely on Deadpool for everything.

True, but they should be able to handle a proper team film. Marvel can make them where multiple characters get a lot of screentime. It isn't just Iron Man and Friends.

Make an X-Force movie with a small team (say Cable, Deadpool, Colossus, Domino, and Psylocke) and it shouldn't be difficult to give everyone ample development while still capitalizing on Deadpool's success and popularity.

 

[DavidHaller]

It is still the second most successful X-Men movie after Days of Future Past...

hell yeah!

 

[YoungBlood]

And there you go, you can find someone to fix the main franchise without rebooting it. Its not like Singer had torched the franchise and ran away, he left the movies open for another story.

You'll get sequels no matter what as the right will revert back if they stop.

No.Just no

hell yeah!

With inflation and 3D I'm not sure.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

True...

It hasn't surpassed any of the films with inflation and ticket prices taken into account.

According to BOM, the original X-Men is sitting at $250,395,500 today.

It might even struggle to beat First Class with inflation.

 

[magneto23]

So while i agree the films need some freshness put back into it i don't think its as simple as take out 2 characters and focus on others and success awaits them because the problem is likely not with the cast.

Don't see how removing them from the cast of characters isn't a step in the right direction. They can not keep focusing on them. We have seen enough of the both of them. Their presence will only distract from the actual X-Men.

First off it's clear the original cast was more popular than first class cast.

secondly if people want more X-men films and not just deadpool sequels
best not to bring up inflation.

even so right now after weapon X hits In march the future of franchise is up in the air.no defente release dates has been given.and quite honestly only the deadpool sequel is sure bet to be made.especilly since directors for both gambit and new mutants aren't exactly making those films their top priority.

Any box office issue likely isn't that they are destracting from the X-Men, let's look at fassbender to example whose Been a critical highlight of apocalypse so while it's easy to say it's a benefit to not have him... Would it be?

II seen comments on Twitter where people are saying quicksilver is the only good part of X-Men apocalypse... And of course there will be people here saying quicksilver shouldn't be there because he will take away from the other characters... But then you are taking away an advantage for film success and it's not his fault if he just stands out as a character.

You do not have to take away characters for others, you just have to actually do right by them and if that takes removing characters to do that then they were not that interesting to begin with, quicksilver was on screen for 10 minutes in DOFP and he stood out as the highlight.

 

[Tilapia]

If they recast Rogue they might as well do so for everyone this isnt a good idea, it's best to introduce a new Rogue in the timeline when they catch up. They don't need to wait 15 years just to do the DPS if they choose to do so they don't have to be that old in a few years they would be mid early twenties which is more than fine let's not reach. I do agree though I think they should focus on either Proteus/Sinister or Shadow King then close the trilogy starting off with the DPS I think would be a good way to handle it. I just don't think 15 years is needed just to tackle the DPS. I'm looking forward to seeing these characters grow into the role. I'm hoping for either Shadow King or Proteus next movie.

Yeah but I don't see the cast doing another 4-5 straight films of X-Men. McAvoy is already three films in. You got two more films max with him. After that, you may have to recast everyone. Remember that this isn't a TV series and they don't have 6 picture deals here let alone 9-10.

I think you can do a Sinister and Proteus movie. Those won't do gangbusters at the box office however. But you have to wait a good 8-10 years before the next trilogy featuring Jean/Scott/Xavier, getting by with some spinoffs in between. Otherwise it can't be modern day or anything close.

We don't need a twenty year gap like Independence Day, but 10 years and then you can bring them back to 2005/2006 at the very least. 15 years and you can take them potentially to 2023 with some good makeup.

 

[SAUspartan]

It's not being rebooted. Gonna make 500 million worldwide. It will get a sequel.

 

[Weather Witch]

Figured I'd peek around the corner to see if there was still doom and gloom.

 

[Frankeh]

You do not have to take away characters for others, you just have to actually do right by them and if that takes removing characters to do that then they were not that interesting to begin with

Except you know very well X-Men has not relied on the same four characters throughout its history. People are demanding freshness and you are hellbent against it.

I ain't against it, I agree with it, but there is no point acting like fox are gonna take out a highlighted character like magneto as if he is holding the others back when really that's not the case at all, you are always gonna be combating screen time either way but taking one of your best out isn't likely.

As I said even some of the people who were not fond of apocalypse still highlighted quicksilver as the best part of it... So what does that mean about the other characters?

There is just no way fox are looking at it as if magneto or mystique are the problem because they really ain't.

So how is it that Wolverine ended up with just a cameo in Apocalypse? How was FOX capable of that one?

If what you're saying is what we should expect they'll do moving forward, then the next X-Men movie will surely have Deadpool, Wolverine, Magneto and Quicksilver. Everyone else be damned.

Nah... this franchise needs to take risks.

 

[GuestStar2004]

So how is it that Wolverine ended up with just a cameo in Apocalypse? How was FOX capable of that one?

I am very much assuming that was a creative team decision, after all kinberg did say they almost wrote him in as field leader half way in the film before changing their mind

But he said they knew they wanted him involved

If what you're saying is what we should expect they'll do moving forward, then the next X-Men movie will surely have Deadpool, Wolverine, Magneto and Quicksilver. Everyone else be damned.

Magneto and quicksilver make the most sense out of the ones you mentioned
