It is actually the lowest by 100 theaters. Still hilarious that a sequel to a 330M+ monster hit can't get at least 3900 theaters like fucking Tomorrowland. 

 

Disney knows they have a dud on their hands, and aren't even trying.

[DAJK]

re-watching DOFP right now (just starting so it's the sentinal fight) but it's so hard thinking about how weird it would be if say this movie had Deadpool in it

 

That character alone is going to change the tone of this entire series of they do indeed cross over.

So my three local theaters each only have 2 standard show times and 2 3D show times for X-men for Thursday night and not one of them is sold out. Obviously it doesn't help when the theater doesn't have a bunch of show times, but when you aren't even selling them out, does it even matter?

I just got out of Alice... How about you just not go and instead, go buy a drink. It will be a lot more fun and hella less painful.

One of those gifs is not like the other, one of those gifs just doesn't belong

The second gif is from DOFP,and not Apocalypse?

[DAJK]

Holy DOFP is phenomenal. Kinda wish I didn't watch it now cause no matter what Apocalypse is just going to be a HUGE step back.

In my town, the three theaters that have LiMax and LiMax 3D are all showing Alice, you can only find X-men in regular 3D.

Pretty, pretty uh, yeah. We need some more midsize hits.

The only movie over the next few weeks that I see which can potentially end in the 200-300M range where we have no movie yet is Independence Day 2. That movie could really go either way with the audience perception. Apocalypse needs to open to a 90+M 4 day to hit 200M, TMNT2, NYSM2, Warcraft and Conjuring 2 are not making 200M, Dory will join the 300M+ club and the 4th of July weekend releases will not make it. The July movies are a bit far out currently to predict with any accuracy.

You had never watched it? It's a classic of the superhero genre. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

 

Have you watched First Class as well? It's a bit different but very charming. I don't think there's another superhero film quite like that one. Plus if you got emotionally invested in the characters of those two then there's a good chance you'll enjoy Apocalypse too.

Watching X-Men: First Class. 2011 seemed to be the year the cast of Mad Men tried to break into movies - January Jones in X-Men: First Class, Christina Hendricks in Drive, Jon Hamm in Bridesmaids, Vincent Kartheiser in In Time. The cast must have had a really good agent at the time.

Alice is 50M in my Derby, should i lower it?

Go higher. Go bold

And then you can say your weekly mantra...

 

My Derby is screwed!

[phoeeeel]

Just back from watching Xmen, not many people in the theatre at all. BVS and CW were both full in the same theatre on opening night. And I was disappointed.  Was going to check out Alice tomorrow, but no longer in the mood any more. Maybe I should go watch Zootopia again, if the nearest AMC still has it. 

[Blankments]

I've got a free ticket to Apocalypse I guess I could use this weekend, but tbh I need to get through Wolverine and a DOFP rewatch first

[GuardianDevil]

Here I am thinking XMA will be the highest grossing X-Men film besides Deadpool.

 

Haven't seen it yet though.
