But DOFP had the old cast as a draw and this one loses that. DOFP opened much stronger outside NA than Alice, but the Chinese market is way bigger now than it was in 2010. Deadpool has done much better in NA than Alice, but had the fact that is was peusdo-niche that Apocalypse won't have. It's so hard to know
Hoping X-Men can come out on top and manage to best DOFP. I don't care about the $1 billion mark (though it'd be amazing), I just want it to do the best so far and top $800M with great reviews (80%+ on RT, 7+ on iMDB, 70+ on metacritic).
Mess, just realised Pirates 5 comes out exactly one year after this release. Bet they'll ram Depp in everyone's face to prepare for the windfall from that
