I know Last Stand made the most overall (though The Wolverine made the most internationally). I was talking about how the 3D era began after the first three movies came out (after 2006). Days of Future Past has a shot at $700M+ with an opening weekend of over $300M, I never said any other X-Men movie had made that much - reread my comment.
Last Stand is above DOFP domestically for its opening week, but internationally DOFP is way, way ahead of where Last Stand was after 7 days, leaving it with a much higher total overall.
You don't see political elements in a movie where the government wants to register mutants (X1), wants to weaponize a "cure" to stop mutants (X3), wants to detain and question mutants (X2), wants to fund a guy who makes robots to capture and kill mutants (DOFP)? You don't see realism in using real-world events to parallel the X-Men timeline? The Auschwitz Concentration camp where Magneto is as a child and his hunting of escaped Nazis to South America; the Cuban Missile Crisis at the end of First Class; The Vietnam War in DOFP, etc.
my expectations are HIGH 
her cameo as a child in FC was epic
