The TV spot total is now 10. Some of the spots give me hope (There's one moment with Juggernaut and Wolverine in a house that looks classic), some not so much. Pyro vs. Iceman gives me Fantastic Four vibes. For the record, not a good thing.

Not an X-men fan at all, but this feels huge to me, and tons of people I know can't wait for it. I'm going with $95 (3-day)/$310.

This may sound crazy, but the quality of this movie may not affect the box office at all. Obviously a lot of people will be there OW: fans, people that don't know (or care) about the change in director. Then WOM, whether good or bad, X-Men movies have not had good legs.

It should be able to beat the Memorial Day record by about $15-20 million, I'd say.

I have now been convinced to see this opening weekend, if possible. The 7 minute clip/trailer special on television was pretty sweet. Looks great.
PEACE, Mike.

the scene in xaviers office was ok, the scene at the chuch was great, the angel scedne was not good, on par with the fastball special scene.
but the action and fx were incredible.

The numbers are suprisingly high for these demographics.

big opening for sure. If it opens to 110 million over the 4-days it will break 200 million for sure.

As I keep thinking about it one piece of data stays in my mind: Cinemascore = A.
Don't underestimate that. Besides family films (which have kids give easy As), an A is extremely rare. I'm increasing my prediction:
3-day: 102m
4-day: 125m
Total: 265m

This is just going to be freakin' huge. The marketing is all over the place and non-stop, there's a ton of buzz, and it's releasing on the biggest weekend of the year. With a slightly smaller PTA than X2: X-Men United and 4,000 theaters...
Opening Weekend: $90 million (3-Day) / $112.5 million (4-Day)
Total Gross: $244.1 million (2.17x multiplier from 4-Day weekend; same as The Day After Tomorrow)

This is a lock to make $100+ million 4-day. This will be the HUGE start of the summer.

It doesn't look bad, but I'm still not sold. The church part was pretty awful though. At first it looked like a scene from Rent, and aside from the clever visual gag with the big/small guy, all the side characters and their side powers were pretty bad. A guy who can have spikes come out of his face and a girl who moves from one end of the room to the other fast? No wonder they need hundreds of those guys to fight against like seven or eight X-Men.

It's fake. First of all the movie is barely 100 minutes long second of all if that guy had seen the movie, he would at least have hinted at a big surprise...

I agree - the Memorial Day record will be shattered.
