So basically FOX sold the rights to itself.

believe me, that is not stupid. Be sure there must be something related to money in this. At least distribution of money.

 

[Retroman]

Its a little weird though.

 

[Celestial]

It's not that weird. The media is dominated by six powerful companies and each of them owns a movie studio. There's a bit about the relationship here:

[Storm22]

$440million+ is fantastic! Has Cars surpassed X3 yet?

 

[COME ON !]

Yep.

 

[Storm22]

So X3 is the 3rd biggest film of the year so far? That's still v impressive!

 

[COME ON !]

It is. A rare instance where a movie franchise grosses more with each film.

 

[Cosmic Mind]

right, is strange, but is cool...

 

[squeekness]

It is. A rare instance where a movie franchise grosses more with each film.

All the more reason to keep somethign X related going. I just hope they put a lot of care and good craftsmanship into Wolverine and not make some junky piece of crap.

 

[Storm22]

I'm really not interested in Wolverine. I'd much prefer an X4 maybe with the younger, new generation mutants! I am looking forward to the Magneto movie though.

 

[X-Maniac]

The 'difficulty' with Wolverine is that it's a prequel, and thus doesn't take the franchise any further forward; it's filling in the past. They could market it as Weapon X: The origin of Wolverine, to keep an X in the title.

 

[Cosmic Mind]

that's a good idea...

 

[Darkdd]

& PPV & HOTEL contracts too.

Oh yeah i payed 12.99(!) to watch X3 at the hotel in Miami.
