Well they have to added the international grossing to this x-men this weekend yet
But I'm sure once it does, it should be at or close to 700 million

It could still pass X3 because the World Cup is not that big in the US but I don't think it will,

"..........I know simon kinberg has said that First class was Eriks movie (to a degree) and DOFP was Charles movie and Apocalypse is suppose to be both Erik and Charles movie"

That's the problem, it's should be an X-MEN movie.

Yeah but the boxoffice of the week was only 5 millions so the weekend won't be more than 7. Seeing the drops of Cap2 it should have made 12 in the week and 10 in the weekend (22 millions)

This movie is already the highest grossing X-Men film of all time worldwide. So I'm pretty happy about that, now if they could just get to 700 million...

JoJo1982
JoJo1982 - 6/22/2014, 9:38 AM
And also you really can't compare this movie with Cap2
I don't see why ppl keep on doing that

I compare it with Cap2 because is the same kind of movie with similar numbers in the boxffice.
Tha's why boxoffice analysts compare CBMs with CBMs

That's pretty awesome. At this rate though, I don't see it surpassing X3 domestically. It needs $17.6M roughly. It has been a step behind CA:TWS's domestic gross from day one and that movie has amassed about $13M following its 5th weekend. At the current trajectory, it's unlikely it will make enough to beat X3. It's nothing to be ashamed of though.

and The Avengers should be an Avengers movie. Instead it's an Iron Man movie.

These pitiful trolls who expect Marvel to always do good are laughable.

DOFP rocks and is a million times better than any MCU film.
