AdamKendall Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) Is DOFP opening on Memorial Day weekend ... if so, then it will do 100 million + IMO over that 4 day. However, no matter the opening (which I think will be much bigger due to the characters all coming back, plus J Lawrence being a bigger star) it's still not getting above 250, unless something crazy happens. Transformers 4 will win the summer ... it's such a shitty summer. Edited July 27, 2013 by Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandrew Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 and X3 The Last Stand I don't know, thats 7 years ago, I think its been long enough. I'm in college now, but I wasn't even in middle school when X3 came out, I doubt most people in my age range have it in mind. And it doesn't get reran on cable as much as Origins. And X3 didn't seem to hurt Origins - that hurt itself really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) Days of Future Past will probably be lucky to make 80 million on its opening weekend (and this is coming from a major X-Men fan). Sentinels and the DOFP storyline will be a massive attraction for it. 100M OW is achievable but will need a strong push from FOX, marketing wise.

Fancyarcher Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Sentinels and the DOFP storyline will be a massive interaction for it. Not really. That’s just fanboy stuff. Most of the general audience isn’t familiar with the DOFP storyline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Fruitvale Station hit my theater... I might go see it, but I'm still mad that it's the first independent film we got all summer. Really wanted to see Mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPink Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I think the appeal will be more based on seeing the old cast back and then younger folk should be a bit more excited by seeing the First Class crew in it. And the scale will definitely be a lot bigger than the previous three X-Men films which will definitely help. 100 million 4 day should happen unless it's terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the general audience isn't aware of 90% of the stuff that occurs in comic book movies ... the key is to make said shit look awesome in promos and trailers and they might just show up again. As Carlos said, the real draw is the group + First Class all together. Edited July 27, 2013 by Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 weren't people originally only predicting Wolverine to reach 130-140m. Only this week I have seen these 70-80m opening predictions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know. Most of the general audience wouldn’t show up to see DOFP because its based off a storyline from the comics, they’ll show up if it looks awesome. That was the point I was trying to make when I replied to druv10’s post. Edited July 27, 2013 by Boxofficefanatic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no interest in watching Michael Bay continue to make Starscream a bitch. Favorite Transformer and continually shit on ... even being defeated by a fucking boy.

He absorbs all the murderous behavior and badassery unto himself for god knows what reason. Edited July 27, 2013 by Carlos Danger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Not really. That’s just fanboy stuff. Most of the general audience isn’t familiar with the DOFP storyline. With Sentinels, you'll have massive size and scale of battle. New & old cast members are an attraction. I think 100M is possible but anything more require massive marketing blitz by FOX and I'm not sure they're capable of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJackSparrow Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) Just came back from The Wolverine. Great film. The theater was nearly full!

I don't many who like either Last Stand or Origins Wolverine. ... and First Class LAST ... man, King Kong ... I'm surprised as I really liked that film. X2, Wolverine, First Class, X-Men, Origins, Last Stand X2 is the best. Edited July 27, 2013 by Adam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Not really. That’s just fanboy stuff. Most of the general audience isn’t familiar with the DOFP storyline. I think there are enough X fanboys and fangirls to push the opening to 100m. Now what happens after that is a toss up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
