ouch

really WOW!

$7 million drops each day. Not too bad.

At this rate it will be out of theaters on Thursday.

That'd be another record for X-3, then.

Congrats!

The days may have been off, but the 3-day and the 4-day predictions were excellent! Great job, David. You're on a roll this year (too bad about Over the Hedge, though).

Well, the daily tracking is almost on par with Harry Potter 3 now, though it is still ahead of it by over $20 million in terms of total gross.

Grosses after 5 Days:


Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith - $172,802,507
Spider-Man 2 - $152,411,751
The Matrix Reloaded - $144,391,066
Spider-Man - $135,840,755
X-Men: The Last Stand- $130,150,700
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones - $120,829,572
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - $119,743,524
Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban - $109,363,094
Harry potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - $104,590,892
X2: X-Men United - $98,146,251
Bruce Almighty - $90,871,470


Not too bad...at all.

Will X3 reach $250 million?


I added a poll to this one.

Do you think the film can outgross Harry potter 3 and thus pass the $250 million mark?

I say "yes", pegging its final gross at around $255-260 million.

it following my perdiction.

It looks to get 20 million over these three weekdays. It heading to an 38-42 million weekend.

I give it 235m-240m.

If there was any question, I voted no.

It'll sit at around $180-183 million after the weekend. At the rate it's falling, I doubt it'll pass $250 million. I see around $240-245 million, as I originally predicted. I just imagined better legs before Friday.

It would probably sit at 240 at its rate. Unless 2006 is a new bar for how multipliers are set the same year 2003 was for most summer movies which coeincidently started with X-men also

Harry Potter ans the Prisoner of Azkaban slowly, but surely is crawling to X3 and going to pass it eventually. Still, a superb run!

WOW at ROTS and both Spidey flicks.

Unbelievable, how fast X3 got behind...Bruce Almighty will eventually pass it too.

So can we safely call this the most frontloaded movie of all time? 230 mil is still an excellent gross, but damn did it ever fall hard.

Harry Potter and the Order of The Phoenix should have a similar situation next year, except even more extreme IMO. That movie is going to die soooooo quickly. X3 and it should have a nice comparison run, probably charted in a similar chart fashion by Lecter once again.

230ish.

DOMESTIC - Day 18

X3 tracking better than X2 during mid-week (understandable since we're in the middle of Summer), but X2 makes up for it with better weekend grosses. All in all, X3 is looking at $240-$250m if it stays with X2 from here on out...not bad, bring on on X4: Cries of an Angel
