NewEnglandGothic Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 ASM2 could be the first Spider-Man film to not cross $200 mil. Sony needs to rethink their plans for the franchise Sony had two of the two grossing movies last weekend, that kind of sucess (modestly budgeted movies) seems to be how they are gonna have go for now until the next Bond movie opens.

Bosco685 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 I was thinking 'X-Men: DoFP' would cross $700 MM after this weekend based on the daily box office take being well above $1 MM. And with only a little over $6 MM to go, it is very close ($693,952,180). But it just had its first six-figure day. So it may take just a little bit longer. Venezuela had its opening on 6/20, and is still not available yet. 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' did $3 MM and 'ASM2' did $3.2 MM on opening weekend in that country. So it is definitely a market that can help make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 As of Thursday, all three movies had some change in their domestic box office results. But 'X-Men: DoFP' had the most significant positive change. The Marvel Franchise is still the most profitable overall. 'ASM2' creeps up to the $200 MM domestic barrier. But it has also slowed down drastically at this point. And with 'X-Men" DoFP' it is now coming even closer to the $700 MM worldwide box office barrier. But it is also slowing down, and has started dipping below the $1 MM/day trend. It needs just over $2 MM more to get there, which it should do over the next week.

Thanks so much! Transformers: Age of Extinction Scores $41.6 Million Opening Day This had an interesting comparison of the big hits this year. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (Marvel/Disney – April 4) $10.2 million Thursday $36.9 million opening day $95 million weekend Godzilla (Legendary/WB – May 16) $9.3 million Thursday $38.4 million opening day $93.2 million weekend The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Sony – May 2) $8.1 million Thursday $35.2 million opening day $91.6 million weekend X-Men: Days of Future Past (20th Century Fox – May 23) $8.1 million Thursday $35.5 million opening day $90.8 million weekend (three-day) These movies are so close in results other than 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' and its opening Thursday results ($10.2 million Thursday). That was definitely a nice way to start off a box office run. I would love to see 'Guardians of the Galaxy' push passed them all, and surprise the overall market.

Who would have ever thought that the Transformers would become more popular than Spider-Man and X-Men? I remember reading Transformers at my lcs in the mid-1980s, and have older readers saying how superior the X-Men were to the Transformers.

As a franchise, this has historic results that any studio would be overjoyed to have. But the biggest franchise results surprised me when I looked into big monsters. No wonder why 'Jurassic World' is in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Dinosaurs and Robots! The results are quite impressive. It's also shocking how poorly some of the more popular movies performed. I'll do a 'Big Monsters' movies comparison in a different thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would have ever thought that the Transformers would become more popular than Spider-Man and X-Men? But, remember, it could drop 70% next weekend. It is a fourth installment afterall. If it doesn't have legs, it might struggle to get to $200 million as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEnglandGothic Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 It's not really that big a surprise. As a franchise, this has historic results that any studio would be overjoyed to have.The original Transformers movie did survive the Rachel Taylor curse. Everything she stars in is doomed to fail (Man-Thing, TV's new Charlie's Angels, 666 Park Avenue, Crisis, etc.) No wonder why 'Jurassic World' is in the works. It's interesting the international revenues proceed downward with each installment after the original. Was it making it to all the territories?

It's interesting what you can pick up on when you put all these details together. By 'Jurassic Park III' the results were definitely lower than the first two movies across the board. So it would be interesting to identify if even the studio started pulling back on the markets it had targeted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 What a weekend! 'X-Men: DoFP' just passed 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' when it comes to the worldwide box office. And yes, 'ASM2' just broke $200 MM in the domestic market finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 'X-Men: DoFP' is coming up on 'X2' and 'Thor: The Dark World' profit levels. From these results, it would appear Fox is doing quite well with at least one franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Amazing that out of the 18 movies that have broken the billion dollar worldwide box office level, four are comic book movies. 03 - The Avengers 06 - Iron Man 3 10 - The Dark Knight Rises 18 - The Dark Knight Although if you adjusted for inflation to compare like-dollars, only 'The Avengers' and 'The Dark Knight' would make it into the Top 30. 'Gone with the Wind' would be showing $1.6 billion for the domestic market (foreign is even bigger, as it was 50.4% of the total box office).
