Super 8 Opens To $37 Million At The Weekend Box Office!

told ya fc was goin to bomb 250m to 300 m woldwide by its end

well yes if it does make 250 it would be considered a bomb, maybe not by us but studio standards. Blockbusters need to double there initial budget to be lablled so if FC makes 300+ then its perfectly fine, you can't lable as "failure". Then it has blu ray and every thing else which usually boosts profit so its a bit early to label it a failure

but in all cases it wont make as much as the last 3 movies and that might worry the studios and even if it does make 300m most studios amim for it to make back double its buddet for witch this movie is 160m

First Class just passed a $220M mark worldwide after one week. Hardly a box office bomb.

160 million x 2 = 320 million. First Class is at 220 million in under 10 days. Bring on the sequel :)

it'll go down even more next week with the release of the green lantern.

$220,000,000 not bad,its made $60,000,000 profit only $260,000,000 for the studio to be really super happy.

Can we focus on super 8 here girls^^^

Has anyone ever seen it yet? Exactly don't call it a bomb then. Not even financially a bomb yet. Wait a month you pessimistic prick

I love how it went from Super 8 to X-men first class

HA!

I think its perfect that First Class made over 200 mil inn under 2 weeks. Now thats an achievement for Vaughn as its now his highest grossing film :D

let me guess im the one peole are calling a prick/douchbag

X-Men: First Class ranked second with an estimated $25 million, retreating 55 percent. That was the second-smallest percentage drop yet for an X-Men, behind X2: X-Men United (53 percent) and ahead of the first X-Men (57 percent). It was also a marked improvement over X-Men Origins: Wolverine (69 percent) and X-Men: The Last Stand (67 percent). Still, First Class's $98.9 million ten-day tally trailed all of its predecessors, and the disparity was only exacerbated in terms of estimated attendance. This poor film is gonna make the least (domestically) of any X-men movie.

Super 8 was better than first class, awsome movie :)

"Super 8" is a boring, schmaltzy, anti-climactic, unoriginal, disposable sci-fi/action movie. If you like this genre, save your money and go see "Thor" and "X-Men." "Super 8" is simply "Goonies," "ET," "Close Encounters," and "Cloverfield-lite" lumped together. It drags on for well over an hour before you get to see "the monster," which is so obscured by darkness and frantic movements that you can hardly make it out. Only until the very end do you get a head-shot which is a giant let down because "it" is a wimpy version of "Cloverfield" monster.

Even worse is that Spielberg, as usual, makes the gaggle of cutesy kid geniuses save the day and makes the adults look like nudniks without the grey matter to figure out wants happening right under their noses. I could go on but it would only frustrate me over the money I lost.

Movie critics nationally gave this crap good reviews (3 stars). Most were the same folks who over-criticized "Thor" and "X-Men." Makes no sense unless you consider the "Spielberg" money, power, and influence factor. This guy's had it. It's about time he retires on the billions he's bilked from hardworking movie fans. Also, the overrated "Abrams" should be flogged for riding the coattails of this drivel.

First Class is set to make $150M to $160M in North America and $180M to $190M internationally for a total of $330M to $350M world wide....is that a bomb?

Super 8 is a beautiful film. Made in the good ol days, when Blockbusters weren't forgotten the second you left the theater.
