BOX OFFICE: X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST May Earn Over $100M During Four Day Weekend
X-Men: Days of Future Past opens in North America this Friday, and analysts are now predicting a $100 million debut for the movie over the four day Memorial Day weekend, meaning that it might just end up being the most successful X-Men movie yet. Hit the jump for details!
According to The Wrap, X-Men: Days of Future Past will likely hit the $100 million mark this Memorial Day weekend in North America. Either way, the debut of the "inbetweenquel" will mark the fifth time in the past eight weeks that a movie based on a Marvel comic book has been #1 at the box office. While it won't be taking up any IMAX screens, the follow-up to X-Men: First Class is going to be released in 3D. A 93% score on Rotten Tomatoes indicates that the response to X-Men: Days of Future Past has so far been very positive, and there's every chance it could exceed expectations. There was some concern that the legal issues surrounding Bryan Singer would have an impact on the movie's performance financially, but that clearly isn't the case. Are you looking forward to seeing it? X-Men: Days of Future Past's huge all-star cast includes Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Jennifer Lawrence, Daniel Cudmore, Nicholas Hoult, Peter Dinklage, Halle Berry, Adan Canto, Anna Paquin, Evan Peters and Ellen Page.
