X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

Domestic Earnings --
Weekend (Fri-Sun): $55,101,604
Weekday (Mon-Thur): $18,792,745
Total Week 1: $73,894,349

Predictions --

Total Week 2: $36-45 Million

Totals --
Domestic US: $73,894,349
International: $$74,586,046
Worldwide: $148,480,395

Ranking Among Highest Earning Marvel Films (Out of 24) --
Domestic US: 18th
International: 18th
Worldwide: 18th

First Class has reached 18th place across the board. After this weekend, it could easily jump up to 16th or higher (again, across the board), beating out "Daredevil" and the "Blade" movies.

Rank Among All Comic Book Adaptations Since 1978 --
Domestic: 45th

THOR

Domestic Earnings --
Weekend (Fri-Sun): $4,250,044
Weekday (Mon-Thur): $2,106,560
Total Week 5: $6,356,604

Predictions --

Weekday: $1-2 Million
Total Week 6: $3-5 Million

Totals --
Domestic US: $171,229,508
International: $$258,000,000
Worldwide: $429,229,508

Rank Among Highest Earning Marvel Films (Out of 24) --
Domestic US: 9th
International: 6th
Worldwide: 7th

No changes were made this week.

The film is just $8.7m away from topping "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" on the domestic chart, but whether it meets that goal at all comes down to the week-to-week rate of decline. If it can hold on to enough business to manage another $6 million by the end of week 8, I think it has a shot. But anything less than that, and the odds drop dramatically.


Rank Among All Comic Book Adaptations Since 1978 --
Domestic: 17th

PRIEST

Domestic Earnings --
Weekend (Fri-Sun):$376,365
Weekday (Mon-Thur): $198,131
Total Week 4: $575,496

I'll skip the predictions this week -- Priest appears to have closed in the US on Thursday. I'll post a special update on Monday if that's not the case.

Totals --
Domestic US: $28,912,708
International: $42,131,231
Worldwide: $71,043,939

Rank Among All Comic Book Adaptations Since 1978 --
Domestic: 70th (Down from 69th)

Its number got knocked back down to 70 after X-Men leapt past it. With the film supposedly closing in the US, expect to get knocked further down twice more this summer.

You can talk about a Fox film bombing when it makes less than Elektra did.

Because if Fox is still interested in Daredevil after Elektra only made 24 million in it's entire run, I sincerely doubt Fox is going to lose interest in the X-Men after making over twice that on an opening weekend.
