Before they were superheroes, the fate of humanity depended on an extraordinary group of youngsters who went on to become X-MEN: FIRST CLASS. Based on the international bestselling Marvel Comics franchise, this box office hit bursts onto Blu-ray and DVD Friday, September 9 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. For the first time ever, “X-Men” fans will have the power to choose a side between Professor X and Magneto with two versions of premium collectible Blu-ray packaging. Also exclusively on Blu-ray, fans receive access to over two hours of special interactive features PLUS ten Marvel “X-Men” Digital Comics including a never-before-seen “X-Men: First Class” backstory— redeemable through each Blu-ray’s unique packaging code.



Director Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, Kick Ass) tells the true origins of the multi-billion dollar film franchise, guiding exceptional performances by Golden Globe®-nominee James McAvoy (Atonement), Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds), and Golden Globe®-winner Kevin Bacon (“Taking Chance,” Mystic River). A “rare movie event that balances an intelligent story with solid performances, first-rate action and top-of-the-line special effects” (Ben Lyons, E!), X-MEN: FIRST CLASS has drawn an impressive $150 million at the domestic box office and nearly $350 million worldwide.

X-Men: First class was the surprise hit of the summer. Ended up enjoying it the most out of all CBM's. Which is sad, because GL is my favorite character! xP

McAvoy and Fassbender totally made the movie. If they don't do a FC sequel, then I want to see them in future X-Men movies as Prof. X and Mags.

1st summer blockbuster?
1st a "blockbuster" is a film that does over 200 million domestic and 500 million worldwide. It did neither.
2nd It made less than Fantastic Four.
3rd It was the best Bond movie since Casino Royal but still not a "Blockbuster"
4th Actually Eric and Charles's love was blockbuster but not what the commercial meant.
5th Thor made more money and it was not a BB
6th Lies make baby Jesus cry
7th Is this why they released it before Fast Five or Thor so they can call it the 1st BB because it is the first one on DVD?
8th there is no eighth

@Bodwulf: Not sure why are you overthinking it, but they call it that because it's the first on DVD and Blu Ray, yes.

Awesome movie. They were close to achieving what TDK did in terms of making a CBM a great movie as well and they showed that you don't have to go "Dark" with a CBM for it to be great. TDK was "Dark" because Bats is a "Dark" Character. This movie had a few moments I would have changed and better time management would serve it well as it felt rushed at over 2 hours but definite buy and lookin forward to a sequel although they're gonna need to intro more than 1 new mutant for it to really hit TDK levels. Not necessarily more in total but addition by subtraction. Some characters in this one I could do without.

@Bofwulf "1st a "blockbuster" is a film that does over 200 million domestic and 500 million worldwide. It did neither."

block·bust·er (blkbstr)
n.
1. Something, such as a film or book, that sustains widespread popularity and achieves enormous sales.


Don't see any figures in there...

@continuezero That is according to Boxoffice Mojo for the year 2011. What is considered a true blockbuster is a film that grosses 3 times its budget.
Sometimes a dictionary just doesn't cover it. Look up Democrat and Republican and see if you can tell the parties platform from it.
dem·o·crat Noun/ˈdeməˌkrat/1. An advocate or supporter of democracy.
re·pub·li·can/riˈpəblikən/Noun: A person advocating or supporting republican government.
See what i mean?

@Bodwulf The dictionary provides ample justification to use the term "Blockbuster" in the trailer to describe the movie. Simply because someone arbitrarily needed to put a "formula" ie "3 times budget to somehow" to somehow quantify a noun doesn't make it a definitive standard of a blockbuster. Regardless of what Box Office Mojo thinks blockbuster is a wide term that can be used in a subjective sense. See the dictionary does cover it, very generally.

Bodwulf - 8/26/2011, 9:55 PM
@continuezero actually blockbuster comes from a term to describe plays. When one was so popular that it caused the others plays on the block to go bust. So since we are following your narrow minded interpretation of blockbuster. We must go to the origin of the word right? So since X-men first Class was not a play and did not put all the other plays on the block out of business it is still NOT A BLOCKBUSTER! :)
Look, I get it, you liked the film. All kidding aside it was a good movie. And since you and the commercial say so. What the hell. Let me get my magic wand out and "POOF" now it is a BLOCKBUSTER! TA DA!

It's pretty smart of Fox to rush the Blue-ray to try to get a jump start on the other big summer movies. They should be able to grab some decent sales that way as the movie underperformed at the box office. $350M world wide is good enough for a sequel (hopefully) but it's not great. Still, it's the best reviewed CBM of 2011!
Ryguy88
Ryguy88 - 8/26/2011, 11:05 PM
You can't just call every movie that makes a profit a blockbuster, First Class did decent business but it didn't leave a big enough dent in the movie industry in terms of ticket sales. It's not a blockbuster in relation to modern day movies, neither was any other CBM this year. Box office mojo are pretty good at what they do and I think $200M domestic and $500M world wide is a pretty good bench mark for determining what qualifies as being a blockbuster.
Ryguy88
Ryguy88 - 8/26/2011, 11:07 PM
That said, the franchise as a whole would definitely be considered a blockbuster so I don't think this ad is out of line calling First Class 'the first blockbuster if the summer.'

i may get it when it becomes availble in the bargin bin,i watched it twice on download & thought it was good the first time but the second it lost some of what made it good in the first place & it does feature a bunch of characters i don't really give a shit about i.e darwin,angel salvatore,riptide,sebastion shaw & mystique.

A domestic blockbuster is > $200 million

A WW blockbuster is > $400 million

This has been considered that status for a couple years now.

That article was an anti-CBM article on BOM; it was claiming >$500 so that it could claim that no CBM this year achieved BB status. Across Hollywood >$400 million is the WW blockbuster landmark. The writer of that article was someone who was fustrated with the amount of CBM's because he was not a fan of the genre and was trying to discredit it.

That said XM:FC was still NOT a blockbuster, domestic or WW.

@Bodwulf...It has nothing to do with the fact that I like the movie. I actually agree with some of the points in your list. However the word "blockbuster" has a definition (not the origin of the word because the origin of a word doesn't necessarily determine it's current application) that allows it to be used in description of this movie and several other movies. You seem to think that you can put a set value on what a blockbuster is and I say that you cannot arbitrarily do that. The word blockbuster, despite it's play origin has several applications unrelated to plays. Look for any definition you want from a dictionary. There is no quantitative definition of what a blockbuster is. That's all I'm getting at...you may think that the Box Office Mojo is Ruler of all Blockbuster Term usages but unfortunately it's a word that common society uses in many references. It's a totally legit term and doesn't have a quantitative value placed on it's use.
continuezero
continuezero - 8/27/2011, 5:47 AM
@Bodwulf...I also find it funny that my definition comes from the dictionary which is widely accepted by society and you call "narrow minded" when yours comes from a website that majority of people don't know or care about and is the end all be all and all should accept this as what is a blockbuster.
Ryguy88
Ryguy88 - 8/27/2011, 9:24 AM
Marvel72, could you do me a favour? Could you admit that X-Men First Class was the best reviewed CBM of 2011? Please;)
Ryguy88
Ryguy88 - 8/27/2011, 9:34 AM
continuezero, then what would you say the difference between a blockbuster and a non-blockbuster is? There has to be a certain feat to achieve in order to be considered one, whether or not the dictionary has one laid out already. And since the word 'blockbuster' can used to describe more than one thing why would a certain number for box office results be in the actual definition? And if it was, would they have to increase that number by 0.5% every year in order to keep up with ticket price onflation? I think that box office mojo and other media sources like it just try to sort out the difference between blockbusters and non blockbusters by setting a number they came up based on a movie's popularity.

Bodwulf - 8/27/2011, 12:01 PM
@Continuezero hmmm narrow minded is a bit negative for what I meant to say. Let us go with "limited definition" not narrow minded.
And it is a Blockbuster. Not because of definitions, but because the people trying to sell DVDs say so and the fans that like it want it to be.
Why let facts and figures muddy the water.

@coldblood6 thanks for the info.
continuezero
continuezero - 8/27/2011, 1:09 PM
@Bodwulf...I am in agreement there..haha. I can appreciate a limited definition.
continuezero
continuezero - 8/27/2011, 1:18 PM
@Ryguy88 All I am saying is that the word blockbuster is a very general and wide term. If media and Box Office Mojo want to place a specific value on what they consider a blockbuster they are well within their right to do so and if the use is stated as "According to Box Office Mojo this "movie" is or isn't a blockbuster" then thats one thing but the word itself can be used very broadly and all I'm saying is that based on the fact that this movie had success (it was profitable) and that it was widely popular then it's fair to call it a blockbuster. If measuring with the Box Office Mojo definition then no it's not a blockbuster. I'm not saying that Mojo is incorrect, I'm saying that its tough to quantify a noun. Like when you say someone is successful...that's a braod term that depends on what someone considers successful. It doesn't mean that it's absolutely the wrong term, just that it's a matter of opinion. There isn't a mathematical formula for determining if sonmeone is successful...same as for blockbusters.
