X3 Box Office Tracker

[Carp Man]

Ah, so there's no scheduling conflict between HP 5 and FF 2 after all? See, WB is saintly, and Marvel and DC fans can co-exist in bliss and harmony.

Bliss and harmony ? With some. Milk and Pickle and I have gone round and round more then our share, but we respect each other. The objective ones. I have no objectivity when it comes to FF. None, zero. You attact FF, you attact me.

 

[phantom47]

I have no clue what Ghost Rider will make. Wounder Woman will go the way of Catwoman. SM 3 will be the movie of 2007, with FF hot on it's heels. 07 will be the year of Marvel.

Dont forget pirates 3

Dont forget pirates 3

It will indeed be a good race. Looking forward to it. They finish 1,2, and FF, and GR in the top 10, I'll be very happy.

 

[GL's Light]

Spidey 3, Pirates 3, HP 5, and Shrek 3 will duke it out for the top spot of 2007. FF 2 will probably land just outside the Top 10, same as FF 1. I don't think GR has much chance of landing in the Top 10. It'll either be a box office disappointment or a modest success.

Hey. Let me dream a little. 07 should be a banner year for movie makers, and fans. Lots of big movies. Just those 6 you mentioned alone.

 

[Advanced Dark]

^ FF2 should still move to Dec 14th in Narnia 2's old spot unless someone else has moved there that I don't know about.

Dont' forget: Blade on Spike...tonight kids.

 

[Carp Man]

Let's see :

Ghost Rider - Feb. 16th
Spider-Man 3 - May 4th
Shrek The Third - May 18th
Pirates of the Caribian - May 25th
Fantastic Four 2 - June 15th
Harry Potter - July 13th

First 6 months of 07 will be booming. May thru July will rock the industry. Anyone taking bets that the month of May will continue to look that way ? It will be cut throat.

 

[Advanced Dark]

I wouldn't be shocked if Spiderman Moved back to May 2nd as they should. Even as it stands they have 14 days to themselves. **** if X3 can make 124 million in 4 days imagine what Spiderman 3 with Venom will do. It could quite possibley make 300 million in 2 weeks domestic and more overseas making it the fastest film to hit 300,400,500,600 million plus worldwide. Should come close to a billion. This franchise has made enough money to bring Tobey...but is he too old. I say find a new actor and let Venom take center stage with Mysterio and the intro of Lizard in 4-6. Though I'd also love to see a film with Peter Parker on vacation and he wakes up and finds himself on some Island being hunted by Kraven.

 

[Carp Man]

I agree. SM 3 is going to be huge. It should be SM 3 1st, POTC 3, and Sherk 3 fighting for 2nd, and 3rd spots. Don't see either of those movies ousting SM 3. SM did $ 821.7 total. SM 2 did $ 783.7 total. Wouldn't surprise me if it makes a billion. Much to the constipation of the other side. Only 2 movies have done a billion worldwide, Titanic, and LOTR : Return Of The King.

 

[Carp Man]

Ok. Tuesdays #'s are in. $ 576,368. Down 33 % from last Tuesday. Will have SR's 1st #'s tomorrow. Check my sig.

Spiderman 2 did less because it wasn't as fun to watch over and over again as the first film was however it was a better film. The insane repeat viewings weren't at the same level as the first film even with higher ticket prices. This will change with Venom, Sandman, and GG2.

 

[demitri_vampiro]

i found spiderman 1 more boring the second time than sm2, but it did those numbers because it was overhyped.

 

[demitri_vampiro]

just wondering what is it that x-movies lack. why can't they make more than 300 domestic and over 600 or 700 million worldwide. sure x-men are not as well known as spidey, but no one knew about pirates of the caribbean and yet they made more than 300 domesticly. Many thought that x-2 was great, x-3 had plenty of action yet they struggled to reach 200 mark both domesticly and worldwide.

 

[Amm-arD]

how can Pirates 3 be out in 07 if Pirates 2 is out in 06?!

 

[demitri_vampiro]

they are filmed back to back

 

[BMM]

Because they were filmed back-to-back.

 

[Amm-arD]

oh right thanks..as far as records are conserned, i think Spidey 3 will be in the top 3 in 07

To reach $ 600 million worldwide, or more, a film has to have very wide demographic appeal. Franchises like Spider-Man and Harry Potter pull in just about everyone: teens, couples on dates, families with little kids, guys and girls, young and old. The X-Men films are more limited in their demographic appeal. The key demographic that's missing is the kiddie/family demo - and that's the most important demo to tap to drive a film up beyond 600 mil.

 

[PowersOfMind]

Hmm the line up for 07 already. Some great movies SM3, POTC3 and Shrek.
Plus the Fantastic Four.

 

[TheVileOne]

Pirates of the Carribbean 2 is 2 1/2 hours long.

Screw X-men 3.

 

[Fanticon]

its too bad they are all so far away...why can't there be a line up this good for November\December? The only thing I'm real excited about is Casino Royale...isn't there anything...KingKonglike coming up this Fall? There aren't enough comicbook movies out around Fall...I want them to release Wolverine in November 07...if its quality and turns out to be a decent movie and makes money...then studios might start releasing more comic book genre films around this time...as long as its not the bottom of the barrel crap like Blade Trinity...we'll start seeing more movies like it start to pop up during all seasons of the year not just spring and summer. I personally think they should hold Fantastic Four 2 off untill November or December...It would do just fine in those two months.

I always thought that X-men had the potential to be in the 300 million club also and I know it does. The opening this year proves it, but what is lacking is the ability to please many fans. For one we need another studio to take over this franchise because as long as Fox are involved I dont see it reaching its full potential, Fox is too cheap and they like to get too involved in the production instead of letting the director shape the movie the way he wants it. As for X3 I think certain ingredients could have helped it reach the 300 million mark easily. The Phoenix firebird, a arial battle between Storm and Phoenix, not killing Cyclops if anything just having him leave the X-men or just being hurt(which is still possible that is what happened) and lastly an extended cameo by Gambit. I have a co worker that is not really an X-men fan and even him was asking where is Gambit? that in addition to maybe a short cameo of nightcrawler that gained a sizesable fanbase in the last movie. All these things would have added to the boxoffice especially its repeat viewing but lets face it, Fox is cheap.

PS for that same reason I find it hard to believe they really spent 210 million on the production, most sites either have it listed at 165 million or 150 million which makes sense with what we know about Fox and their cheap selves.

[Cosmic Mind]

I hope that with that amount maybe they will greenlit X4

 

[Carp Man]

oh right thanks..as far as records are conserned, i think Spidey 3 will be in the top 3 in 07

Just like The Empire Strikes Back, and Return Of The Jedi, we're filmed back to back.

 

[Excel]

spidey 3 will be number 1 in 2007. the only reason spidey 2 wasnt number 1 was cause it only had 2 years diffrence;this three year difference will do A LOT. iron man will be lucky to do fantasic four numbers; batman begins is looking to be a 275 million+ hit if it is good.
