Mattrek Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I'm actually concerned about X-Men now. It'll open big, but I think Godzilla just took a lot of money away from it and took a lot of the hype. I wonder what the tracking numbers will be this week after this monstrous opening for Godzilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Wang Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I believe Legendary's head guy said WB will have 100% control going forward.Which is why you saw WB full marketing muscle come out on this and not Pacific Rim. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
