i hope the 103 minutes rumor was wrong. i really hoped X3 had run much more longer than 103 minutes. i think 135 minutes was perfect.

According to notfabio at HSX, the running time is 2 hours and 15 minutes, and that's the running time that's going to be used for advanced ticket sales. Sounds about right, IMO.

 If X2 opened today Memorial Day weekend, it would have done a $90 m 3day weekend from a 15% Sunday drop ($90 ish m), and adjusted for inflation $99 m. So if X3 has the same number of people seeing it as X2, it could approach $100 m for the 3day weekend (remember, DAT got close to $70 m 3day w/ the help of the inflated Sunday), Xmen 3 could approach $115 m-125 m for the 4day weekend. That weekend could be the biggest weekend of all time. The biggest is currently May 28–30, 2004, w/ the Shrek 2/DAT combo ($185.6 m for the 3day).
1 Xmen 3 (lowball $70 m opening weekend)
2 Da Vinci Code (lowball $35 m 2nd weekend)
3 Over The Hedge (lowball $25 m 2nd weekend)
4 Poseidon (lowball $9 m 3rd weekend)
5 MI3 (lowball $7 m 4th weekend)
-See No Evil (lowball $4 m 2nd weekend)
-Just My Luck (lowball $4 m 3rd weekend)
-Goal! (lowball $1 m 3rd weekend)
-Hoot (lowball $1 m 4th weekend)
$156 m right there from films, w/ lowballed estimates. The Xmen 3/Da Vinci/Hedge combo looks like it can outdo the DAT/Shrek 2 combo to have the biggest weekend ever!

How reliable is this info? I am going crazy waiting for some info about the running time and hoping that it won't be the rumored 103 minutes.

notfabio is quite realiable, and besides the fact that I hope it's the real running time, 135 minutes seems a lot more reasonable than 103 minutes. I'd go with this number because that's what the theaters are getting for advanced ticket sales, versus the other name, which came from the Tribeca website or something and wasn't official.

YAY!! Good news, good news. 2hrs 15min is so amazingly much better than that truly horrific 103min. Okay, so X3 is now back to the anticipation level i had before that 103min business, which is quite high. In 2 weeks there will only be 2 weeks until X3 opens (that is a weird thing i do, where i break up the time into smaller segments and it actually makes it seem quicker than saying "a month", 6 months, etc).

of course its going to suck, with brett ratner at the helm. the fanboys over at CHUD and AICN have given up on this movie months ago. trust me, that shit movie will never gross more than 200m. it will be so bad that even the stupid summer blockbuster crowd wont accept it.

Um.....Like Brett Ratner's other movies?
That clip actually makes me worried about this movie. I do remember however that I had the same thing with I, Robot and I loved that movie.
However, that doesn't matter at the BO. It will open huge, and with Memorial Day and summer weekdays there would only be so low that it could go.
That assumes poor WOM though, which I'm hardly convinced of being that it's based on, what I have to consider, the rather unreasonable basis of Brett Ratner directing it.

Hehe, it is going to make $100+ million over the first four days, thus pass $200 million with ease.

I have the feeling that is gonna do good buisness but I also have the feeling that most people have seen enough X-Men. People I am talking to say "MAYBE I am gonna check part 3 but then its good". Some already say they have enough from X-Men.
So it can barely pass 200. But I wouldnt be suprised when it fails to do 170. Just based on the reactions I get.

CS/SHH: Do you have any idea what is going on with the Magneto prequel and are you surprised that they're doing one?
McKellen: Well, I'm not surprised. That's what the comics have been doing for years. They've been having prequels and sequels and changing the plot. Going back to the past would be an obvious thing to do, to have a young Magneto story.
CS/SHH: Who would you like to see play the young Magneto?
McKellen: I'll be playing the part. [laughter] I don't know if it's in the press notes, but the first time that Patrick Stewart and I appear in [X-Men: The Last Stand], we appear to be 25 years younger than we are. That's been done by a technology never used in film before, which involves no makeup, no special effects whatsoever. We just go into the studio and do the scene as is, and then they morph our faces on to photographs of ourselves 25 years ago. Lo and behold, there we are. They can take any shaped person and they can slim you down, they can build you up, they can bring out your shoulders, change the style and color of your hair. Remove every wrinkle. They removed so many wrinkles from my face, I looked so young that [X-Men director] Brett Ratner said, "You've got to put a few wrinkles back. It's looking ridiculous." It would mean that I could play myself at 25, feasibly, as long as I can keep myself lithe and sounding young. I mean, that's the big story of this movie is once the stars realize that they don't have to have facelifts anymore, at least as far as their work is concerned, Meryl [Streep] and I can go on playing Romeo and Juliet for the next 20 or 30 years. It's astonishing. It's like airbrushing, but for the moving picture.

The biggest thing that worries me about X3 (Im not worried about its box office, just its quality) is that the writers are different from the first two. I wouldnt exactly call Bryan Singer a great action director, but losing him and the others on the script jobs is a little worrisome. Maybe it's a good thing Im worried, my expectation will be kind of low and then end up getting them blown away!
The trailers are awesome, though!

X3 will be the biggest super hero movie this year! With an astounding 230-240. _________________Setting most people on fire is wrong.Proud Founder of the "Community of Squee."
