X3 #9th already surpassed X2 both domestically and most probably will surpass overseas too this weekend.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

...And budgetwise?

My point is it has surpassed X2's worldwide box office and is still going and people are STILL making it out to be a flop?? You can hate the movie all you want but to say this movie bombed is mildly ******ed sorry.

 

[Advanced Dark]

^ Because they're asshats.

 

[Carp Man]

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooooottttttttttttttffffffffffffffflllllllllllllllmmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooooooooo

 

[Angamb]

I think X3 could end getting 450 million worldwide. Isn't 500, but isn't bad.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

That Emma spin-off in your sig makes Jesus weep.

 

[Darkdd]

^I wonder what it really is?

 

[phantom47]

Id say X3 has a good 10-12 mil left domestically makeing a total of 237 mil here
it can probably do another 15 mil overseas before it opens up in China and Japan

bringingthe total WW 430 mil

plus chian and Japan = 450-460 WW

 

[phantom47]

and it moved up a percent on rottentomatoes to 57% it has 26 more positive reviews than negative

 

[Carp Man]

How many want to bet me Ebert will give SR 4 stars, and 2 thumbs up ? I was stunned he gave X3 3 stars.

X3 was on about 2000 more screens than X1 or X2. Less theatres but more screens enabling more people to get in...in week 1 and week 2. Correct me if I'm wrong. Even if all things are equal X2 brough alot of new fans in. Many people saw X2 for the first time on DVD or TV increasing the fans for the 3rd films opening.

I agree. The 1st 2 movies did bring in new fans, which is the whole point. It's made more to pull in more fans, then the faithful comic follower. Spider-Man 1 and 2 broke that mold. I wached Spider-Man, and I felt like I was reading the comic. It was great. It was so faithfull to the source material. There were a few deviations, but they did not take away from the feel of the movie.

X3 will end having 235 domestically, 240 at best. I would have loved 300, but it couldn't be.

Fox knew they would have to make their money, before SR, and POTC opened. Why it started like a sky rocket, then fizzled. It was so front loaded. And it worked.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Fox wasn't even worrying about SR. Why do people keep thinking that?

 

[Advanced Dark]

Yeah Supes was too far away. Every studio knows they need to make there money in the first 2 weeks. You'll also notice marketing drops way down after a week or two because they've already made their money and it's not cost effective unless it's showing unusually strong legs at the box office. Fox should start a campaing now that says...Superman sold out? See X-Men again! LOL

 

[Carp Man]

Superman sold out? See X-Men again! LOL

I could see that happening. Or I like " If you really want to see a great movie, forget SR, go see X-Men", even better.

And X3 surpassed that other flop King Kong domestically a few days ago. Though it won't catch it internationally. No way.

Yea 60 % of King Kong was overseas, where they dig monster movies. Only did 218 here.

 

[Advanced Dark]

^ That's why if they'd get the Hulk movie right for the general audiences out there it would make a killing. Zak will pull it off.

I wouldn't call king kong flop by any means. It probably made a tiny profit between $5-10 million. It has done a LOT on dvd sales+rentals domestically and overseas.

With the King kong special edition dvd coming out during christmas it will probably make more money.

What was its budget $207 million+around $ 80-90 million in marketing and distribution. That movie got a lot of free publicity from magazines and entertainment channels. So universal did not feel like showing tons of tv spots in north america that is why it did not do $300+ domestically. They started showing the TV spots really late a day or two before in overseas markets too.

Plus there was a lot of merchandising on King kong. So it might have made GOOD amount of money for universal add in DVD sales+rentals. OVERALL it made back its money and by now might have made good profit.

Ya you are right HULK 2 will most probably be awesome if Zak does the script for it.

^ I was being sarcastic regarding Kong being a flop because some ******s are calling X3 a flop. Though I thought the movie sucked bigtime it did well overseas but was well below expectations domestic...X3 is well above all analyst expectations.
