spiderman III - everybody was applauding when they showed the teaser during superman returns... i'm looking forward to it!

the last stand's numbers have been consistent and very good.

 

[danoyse]

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

They weren't filmed back-to-back.

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.

I don´t think it´s the "ability to please many fans" that is the problem. I agree with GL´s Light - the X franchise lacks the "family/little kiddies appeal" that many franchises like HP, Spidey, PotC have. Also it doesn´t have the same appeal to older adults like the LotR movies had. I can imagine my mother going to the movies to watch LotR, but not X-Men. And she took her grandchildren to the HP movies.
As for the ability to please fans...I was pleased. I don´t think it´s the best of the trilogy, it could have been a better movie, but it is good anyway.

turn the river?? WTF... thats a Famke movie...but again..whats interesting about it is that she'll play a pool shark. heh. nifty.

Those balls tend to roll around once in a while. I remember, one of the balls almost hit someone. lol. heh.

all I can say is that Pool is a perverted game if you know what I mean. My friend made fun of my 'stick' ... oh yeah and one of the balls almost hit me in the groin.

but other than that. it was fun. I miss playing pool-sometimes.

Agreed. I've always thought the X-Men series was the least kid-friendly of all the recent comic book movies. Spiderman, Superman and even Batman have more easily identifiable superheroes, as far as a little one would be able to figure out. My cousin is 4 and he knows who Spiderman is, even though he's never seen the movies. The good guy/bad guy line just isn't as clear as it is in a typical superhero movie.

And I was pleased with the movie too.

Goodbye X2 ($407,557,613) say hello to X3 ($421,400,547)

http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=x3.htm

X3 has officially beat X2 domestically, overseas and worldwide...and it hasn't even been released in Japan yet.

 

[CapBeerCino]

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.

Users reviews for SR are up to 86% with 108 users, just in case you are wondering.

And it's 56% at the moment not 57%.

wahayy, good for X3!

Transformers will win 2007.

 

[Advanced Dark]

^ No chance of that at all. Spiderman 3 will win 2007...hands down. The Trasnformers effects might draw people to a big opening weekend but I have really no interest in watching a bunch of giant action figures roam around shooting things. Kids like Spiderman, X-Men, Batman, Superman, FF because they want to be like them. That's why their popularity has never really waned. You can't relate to a robot. You can enjoy the effects but how far will that take you.

 

[PowersOfMind]

I agree I dont think Transformers is aa popular as it once was. It obviously still has some bite since Hollywood is churnign out a movie. But who knows as the relase date gets closer and closer maybe the hype will be amped as well.

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.

Xfanfan

it is kinda funny, all this situation around x-3. we all know fox is a cheap ass studio, but then they rush a movie to meet a deadline which costs them extra money and the movie earns less because the quality suffered. if they gave ratner more time like he asked the movie would feel more complete and it would be cheaper because they wouldn't have to rush the effects.
there are some really stupid people there at fox.

Mojo - $381,059 for Wednesday taking the total to $226,089,043

Front page updated

 

[Carp Man]

Ok. Wednesdays #'s are in, updated #'s below. Anyone intrested 21 million for SR.

 

[Hiruu]

LOL...guess Supes isn't going to shatter records as had been predicted by so many fan-boys. I love Supes as well, but the prognosis isn't looking good for shattering everything. Glad to see Supes did okay for it's budget and expectation, but with POTC2 (aka Doomsday) less than 10 days away....it's going to be tough on the Man of Steel. POTC2 is simply going to blotch out the sun, and with Johnny Depth's global appeal...yikes!

 

[phantom47]

i think supes took much of Xs audience thats why we saw a drop

 

[PowersOfMind]

POTC2 aka Doomsday...LOL

I'm surprised. I expected a big opening for Superman. I expected it not necessarily to break records, but to perform more strongly than X3. Maybe it will have great legs to make up for it's not so great opening pull.

 

[Carp Man]

X-Men is dropping 850 theaters starting Friday. 1,558.

 

[crappymovie]

That's a pretty disappointing number for SR, but I always expected it to preform like Batman Begins...and all signs are point to that (plus SR has the young demographic as well.) It may not reach the heights of X3, but it's a start.

Anyways, how much more do you think X3 will make? I think it has a good $10 million left for sure.
