X3 Box Office Tracker

[Carp Man]

So when Ebert gives SR two stars he's being objective, but his one star review for FF is somehow proven objectively "wroung" by FF's box office? Never mind that quality and box office returns aren't linked in any definable way. Your DC vs Marvel obsession is warping your thought process beyond logical comprehension.

Logical comparision ? He gives BB 4 stars, SR 2 stars. There are many who say it will make more then BB, and in the same breath say it could be better then BB. Where's the logic in that ? It's all opinion, based on how each person looks at it. If it doesnt make at least 400 million worldwide ( which I think it will ), I'll be shocked. But I don't think it will make the 500,600,700 million some think it will. I had no delusions when it came to FF, I thought it would make between 300 and 400 million. Actuall I thought it would make 350. I went and saw it 9 times.

You're still not making sense. There is no link between Ebert's star ratings and box office performance. If there was FF wouldn't have grossed $ 330 million worldwide.

You're basing WAY TOO MUCH off of Ebert's review.

Does anyone actually know how a movie ends up with its final 'star' rating?

 

[PowersOfMind]

Ive actually always wondered that myself. Who decides how many stars a movie gets. But as it stands im my own critic. I loved X3 and I thought is was a good movie.

Plus...there is mixed review of Supes in from AICN over on the SR threads.

 

[BMM]

Well at RT, critics are 78 %, but user reviews are 69 %. OUCH. Where as X 3 had a 57 % favoriable, but a 73 % favoriable user review.

A failing grade of 57% is anything but favorable . . . and neither is 73%, particularly for a franchise whose general acclaim used to be good and improving . . . but luckily it isn't as bad as the 25% critic rating or 58% user rating of Fantastic Four.

It's here for the Marvel fans to read, and enjoy. Been waiting for Ebert's review. And I'm going to crow. Just as much as the BB fans we're crowing in the BB forums when FF's review came out. Just took a walk on the wild side over on the Superman boards. They got the bad news and are going nuts. Time for me to have a good laugh.

I laugh too, because Returns one bad review still outranks not only Ebert's Fantastic Four review, but almost all of Fantastic Four's reviews as well . . . and sadly, those of The Last Stand. The box office numbers should be interesting.

I read his review,and it sounded to me like he was mad that it wasnt just like S:TM,which to me,is a good thing.

 

[danoyse]

I watched the original "Superman" on DVD last night...and not only was I picking up things that I've already seen in the trailers and clips, I also saw a few things that Singer used in the first X-Men movie.

Cannot wait to see it!

Not sure how much money it's making tonight...but they had a special screening at the AMC on 42nd St in NY at 6:00, I passed by on my way home, and they were turning people away at the doors because it was sold out. Must be a good sign.

 

[antariksh]

Nah. I loved the movie, as did others by the final #'s. Ebert nor anyone else was going to tell me any different, and it did well for the piece of crap movie it was suppose to be. I got a great deal of satisfaction from the suscess of the movie. Great deal of satisfaction on proving him wroung, and a great deal of satisfaction that he gives it 1 more star then FF. Shows he can be objective. He's not the DC fan I thought he was. All I hear over on Superman boards is ohhhhhhhh he rated BB 4 stars how can he give SR 2 stars. Fanboys run the full gamit, but not like DC, and Marvel.

HAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHA


I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

CRY SUPERMAN FANS CRY!!!!

Well, I´m not interested in SR, but good luck to the movie anyway. I have to admit I´m still bitter that Bryan abandoned the X-Men franchise. Even though I really liked X3, it would be really interesting to see Singer closing the "trilogy".
On another note...does anyone knows where can I find the International B.O. numbers? I´d like to know how much X3 has made in Brazil so far...

well logically SR could never be better then BB for the simple fact BB was a revamp and starting from scratch move.. (something SR should have been)

I too loved it and thought it was a good movie. And so did my sister who say it with her boyfriend last week.

 

[Angamb]

which do you think could be the final boxoffice in foreign market?

250 sounds so much?

abd domestically, 240 sounds possible right now.

the 500 million worldwide isn't so far...

 

[PowersOfMind]

Yeah. Im not blind and I know X3 had its flaws but still I thought it was a good movie.

 

[Iceman]

$420m worldwide - not bad so far.

HAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHA


I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

CRY SUPERMAN FANS CRY!!!!

Hilarious, you're a joke.

The film is a very good one and will do very well with general audiences.

For another summer, DC owns Marvel it seems. Maybe Fox can take a lesson and hire quality directors and give them time to actually film the damn thing.

 

[Carp Man]

Ok. Overseas #'s are updated thru June 26 th. Latest figures updated below.

 

[Angamb]

X3 will end close to 500 million worldwide.

 

[Advanced Dark]

^ Let's say it squeezes out 235 domestic. So you think it'll make 265 international? How's that?

 

[highguard]

A failing grade of 57% is anything but favorable . . . and neither is 73%

I think a 57% favorable rating means that 57% of the reviews were favorable. The remaining 43% of critics would have submitted unfavorable reviews.

The word favorable is just a useful description.

And that is my good deed for today.

They don't want to pay for a high-profile quality director, and any "lesser-known-but-still-creative" director with half a brain refuses to work with FOX (Joss Whedon, Alex Proyas, Stephen Norrington, etc.). These idiots torpedoed a Ridley Scott/James Cameron Aliens project.

That may change come summer 2008.
