Um, when you consider how much SPIDERMAN and SPIDERMAN II made along with X2, 110 Million would have to be considered a BOMB, Especially when the budget was at first like 75 Million until FOX Paniced and saw how well The Incredibles did and the budget on that film, they had to raise the bar to 120 Million for FF4.. 110 Million isn't exactly blowing my skirt up over this...

Yeah if the movie cost over 120mil to make then 110mil wont be THAT great - but considering its international gross will be 120mil+ it wont be considered a bomb by any means.

That budget is not an actual number. There are many cost offsetting moves that are made in these types of films, so if this movie makes 110 million domestic, and you add in it's international gross, merchandising, product placement, promotional partners, DVD sales, TV deals, etc, etc, etc... that will be a hell of a chunk of money for 20th Century Fox.

And the reason they DID move it from July 4th, was strictly a business decision, and nothing to do with lack of faith in the product. Opening weekends are hype hype hype, and they knew that the Fantastic Four would NEVER win a hype war with Steven Spielberg/Tom Cruise/War of the Worlds. The first weekend is when movies make their biggest chunk. Like I said before, they aren't about to open on a weekend to make a few online critics satisfied that they are confident in QUALITY, and sacrifice about 40 million dollars. Believe me, online critics over them moving their date aren't quite that important to them.
