X3 Box Office Tracker

[RedIsNotBlue]

Oh please. Like every single studio that makes a disappointing movie publicly admits their disappointment. Maybe Fox will admit their disappointment or maybe not. Just because they have not admitted it yet does not mean it won't happen.

I dunno. Why would they have at least 3 X-Men films in production right now if X3 was such a disappointment??

So basically; You got nothin'.

Yeah. That's what i thought.

Ebert never directed porno movies. He wrote the screen play for Beyond the Valley of the Dolls which was directed by Russ Meyer. It wasn't a porno movie either though there was probably plenty of nudity.

The Crying Game was an Oscar nominated film most critics liked it so I don't see how that counts against him. Toys don't know what that is. As for liking Daredevil there are probably plenty of marginal films out there Ebert gave a thumbs up to like the new Garfield movie that others did not like. Its not liked he raved about the film.

The reason I was criticizing Ebert is because people in this thread mentioned him for the sole purpose of trying to prove that because one well known critic named Roger Ebert liked X-Men 3 then it must be a good movie. Ebert is merely one opinion among the opinions of a thousand critics.

I find it strange that The Crying game got great reviews. I saw it with 10 people and we all hated it. I have only met one person who liked that movie.

I've got statistics which speak for themselves. Which I posted in the thread that I created. So in reality I a plenty of evidence that X-Men 3 is a domestic box office disappointment. Feel free to look at my evidence in the other thread. That is if you haven't already.

They X-Men films in production? What are you talking about? I have heard about there being "spinoffs" which are not X-Men movies. The last time Fox made comic book spinoff movie it flopped(Electra).

This response speaks volumes about your character. Your welcome to continue being ignorant but, unless your read about the statistics I posted you have no frame of reference.

So your telling me Fox is making movies that THEY KNOW will flop?? What are your ****ing ******ed? And yes they count as X-Men movies.

For X3 to have scored $100 million in it's first 3 days, score the 2nd highest opening day of all time, demolish Memorial Day weekend records, reach $200 million in just 3 weeks, become the highest grossing installment in it's franchise (unadjusted, and soon adjusted).

X3 is in no way a disappointment.

 

[Doctor Octopus]

X-Men 3 was a great success.

Um no(No movie company does that). No(You have anger management problems.) , and no(Movies about the lives Logan, Eric, and Emma Frost don't count as X-Men movies) .

 

[WorthyStevens]

Wolverine, Magneto, and Emma Frost are a part of the X-Men, are they not?

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

1. That is basically what you said.

2. Sorry I get mad when the stupidity meter hits a high.

3. It is more then just those three characters. There will be villains and supporting characters. And there is also a Young X-Men movie supposedly in production.

What's wrong with my response? I checked out the thread, thought it was crap, and moved on.

Sorry if that bruises your ego, or whatever, but that was just my opinion.

I have heard this many times and it is all relative. X3 demolished the Memorial day weekend record and then it nearly broke the record of having the greatest 2nd weekend financial drop in movie history. You may have your definition of a disappointment while I have mine but, what really matters are the #s Fox wanted this movie to make. I doubt Fox is satisfied with a movie they spent 210 million that will end up making 230-235 million domestically.

Fox isn't just looking at domestic numbers. International numbers are also focused on. Plus there's also DVD rentals/sales, TV/PPV buyrates, and so on.

Point, but, if u check out the worldwide gross, and then DVD sales (they will be huge, fact.) Fox will not be dissapointed atall. And i heard that it didnt cost 210 either, but less

Some people seem to ignore international numbers for some reason like they don't count.

No bruises here. I just find it funny that you think my statistics are worthless. Statistics are one of the many and biggest factors that dictate whether a film will be made(This is not an opinion.).

 

[Celestial]

I've got statistics which speak for themselves.

Your problem is that they're not saying much. It was a nice simple model but a quick scan is enough to convince most people that it's seriously flawed. So my advice is to stop the boasting because it makes you look silly.

FOR THE LAST TIME I NEVER SAID X-MEN 3 HAD DISAPPOINTING INTERNATIONAL #S. I AM SAYING X-MEN 3 IS A DISAPPOINTMENT DOMESTICALLY. MANY PROFITABLE MOVIE FRANCHISES WERE ENDED DUE TO A WEAK DOMESTIC GROSS DESPITE STRONG INTERNATIONAL #S. BATMAN AND ROBIN MADE A LOT OF MONEY OVERSEAS BUT, THE FRANCHISE DIED FOR 8 YEARS BECAUSE OF THE DOMESTIC GROSS.

 

[Amm-arD]

haha this is getting heated! But in all honesty..x3 was a hit, fact

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Your comparing B&R to X3?? Go buy a horse and go live in the mountains and don't bother anybody.

I'm not boasting. Nor am I convinced that my opinion is 100% right and everyone who disagrees with me is 100% wrong. My intention to start that thread was not to make me look inteligent and everyone else stupid. I just wanted to know what everyone thought of those statistics. Instead I got praise from people who hated X-Men 3 and wanted it to fail. I also, got ridicule from people who loved X-Men 3 and think everyone who criticizes the film is an idiot. All I wanted to read were differences in opinions. I didn't expect to experience all this hate.

That is an opinion that I respect. Why can't everyone be as respectful as you?
