CJohn Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Fucking Champions league finale. Still the biggest OW of the franchise but slightly below TASM2's OW. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Internationally, the 20th Century Fox tentpole took in $191 million through Monday, putting its global opening at a whopping $302 million -- the best debut of any X-Men film. Yup, 20M monday! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 It's more like a Monday prediction since Monday shows are only beginning in many parts of the world. But the prediction is reasonable. Monday to Thursday should add 65-70m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moviedweeb Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 This will probably be the top grossing X-men film WW with only 10 days in release. This film is kicking ass and deserves to. Easily one of the greatest comic book films ever with both refreshing and fantastic storytelling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zackzack Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 The high debut number shows people are still interested in the franchise. Plus Quicksilver scene. Hope Fox don't get complacent with XM: APOCALYPSE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) In the UK Fox’s latest X-Men outing stormed its way to a terrific $15.4m (£9.13m), including previews of $2.7m (£1.6m), to surpass The Amazing Spider-Man 2’s $15.2m (£9m) bow which included $4.9m (£2.9m) in previews. That also marks the best opening of the X-Men series, overtaking X-Men: The Last Stand’s $11.9m (£7.1m) which included $1.7m (£1m) in previews. X2 is the best UK performer to date at $34.8m (£20.7m), a tally that Days of Future Past should easily overtake in the coming weeks. It’s worth noting that its Fri-Sun tally of $12.7m (£7.5m) would have also seen Days of Future Past comfortably land the number one spot and also the biggest opening of the X-Men series. Days of Future Past also posted the seventh biggest opening for Fox of all time and the biggest Fox opening since Ice Age: The Meltdown’s $16.5m (£9.8m) in 2006. Including Bank Holiday Monday [May 26], X-Men: Days of Future Past has grossed $19.5m (£11.6m) and should enjoy a prosperous week ahead with the school holidays.

Quigley Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 You are quite right to compare it with POTC4, but for POTC4, Japan had also opened on OW and it had a leggy run. If you remove Japan from the equation, the opening was 241.8m and total was 695.5m. Performing the same calculation with these numbers will yield 492m from current markets. I am expecting 475m because of slightly heavier competition, and another 35m from the remaining markets. You are right. If anything, Japan should be excluded from the total to avoid skewing the comparison. In such a case, with ~$510M outside NA, whether it will surpass Captain America 2 in worldwide grosses remains to be seen (I hope it doesn't, but the fact that there is no clear winner in this 3-way Marvel comic-book adaptation competition makes it even more interesting to observe). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I think it'll drop by 60%+ this weekend. So about $320M OS by Sunday, pretty fantastic. Highest of the franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
