This.

I thought Beast vs Psylocke was weak af. Storm and Cyclops? I was hyped from the concept art but clearly Singer can't do **** with the former. Nightcrawler was pretty much the only one who got a decent fight lmao.

How could you go from the excellent DOFP to this? Ugh.

I lowkey want Marvel to get the rights back too, but only because they'll stop ****ing them over in the comics and video games.

I agree about the fight scenes. They could have been way more exciting! They were a bit messy.

47% I enjoyed it but the film kinda deserves it lol.

This franchise lacks serious character development, and that will be its biggest downfall.

Hope all these Marvel Fox characters finally end back up with Marvel Studios where they truly belong.

These MCU fanboys thinking they know what they're talking about. Don't forget to buy a brain, sweet cheeks.

Lol no they are not, the film has been out for like 3 weeks now. That scene literally means nothing to the gp, might spoil it for the fan boys but not really.

Most studio's release these spots when the film is close to being out. Civil War also had "spoilery" spots.

DOFP > Apocalypse > X2 > First Class > X3 > X1 ()

20th Century Fox’s X-Men: Apocalypse made $8.2M last night from 3,565 theaters with showtimes starting at 7 PM, while Disney’s Alice Through the Looking Glass gulped the shrinking potion and made $1.5M.

By comparison, 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past grossed $8.1M on Thursday night before chalking up a $35.5M first day. 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand owns the best M
emorial Day Friday bow with $45.1M. Also two years ago, but during the post-Memorial Day weekend, Disney’s Maleficient made $4.2M.

X-Men Apocalypse and Alice Through the Looking Glass are hands down the No. 1 and 2 draws over the four-day Memorial Day holiday. Hopefully, Apocalypse pegs another slot on the all-time Memorial Day openers list. Rival projections are at $100M-plus for the Bryan Singer-directed movie, but Fox has a more conservative outlook of $80M+ over four-days. Meanwhile, Alice Through the Looking Glass is seeing $55M-$60M+ over FSSM. We’ll be hearing from Disney soon as to how Alice fared Thursday night.

On the top Memorial Day domestic openers chart of all-time, 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand with $122.9M and X-Men: Days of Future Past with $110.6M respectively own the third and fifth ranks.

Fandango reported yesterday that Apocalypse advance ticket sales were on par with Days of Future Past, while Alice Through the Looking Glass is in sync with Disney’s 2014 post Memorial Day hit Maleficent which made $69.4M in its first FSS.

X-Men: Apocalypse is arguably the worst-reviewed title in the series at 47% rotten outside of Wolverine. However, the franchise has shown to deflect any bitter word of mouth in the past: The Last Stand had a 58% Rotten Tomatoes score, but landed an A- CinemaScore — and it’s the highest grossing film in the series. Days of Future Past won over both tweeds and moviegoers with a 91% Rotten Tomatoes score and an A CinemaScore. Alice also has a similar scenario at the B.O. where the populist vote is bigger than the smarty pants’ one. The first Alice received a mixed response from film reviewers at 52% despite earning an A- CinemaScore and a final domestic of $334.2M. Currently, there are more critics that loathe Alice Through the Looking Glass than Apocalypse at 27% rotten.

Disney reported Thursday night demos for Alice Through the Looking Glass as follows: 51% female, 49% male, with 42% under 25. Families made up 21% of the crowd. In regards to the discrepancy between X-Men and Alice last night, one east coast based exhibitor told Deadline this morning that it boiled down to the PLFs. Read, one of his auditoriums grossed $2,600 from X-Men, while Alice made $300. “I wanted to share my PLF with the two films but Fox would not allow where Disney would. I think this will result in X-Men doing better than expected and Alice under performing,” said Deadline’s deep throat source.

The reason why this Alice won’t be as high as the first stems from various factors: it doesn’t have the Tim Burton-philes in its court, while the 2010 pic benefited from a post-Avatar 3D craze (71% of its domestic B.O. came from the format), not to mention, it was the only wide entry when it opened during the first weekend of March with $116.1M. Thirty-nine percent of Alice in Wonderland‘s audience came from families while it skewed female at 55% with 54% under 25.

Among the regular rank of movies in play, Disney’s Captain America: Civil War has been the top draw during the last four weekdays. The Russo brothers movie made $2.1M last night at 4,226 theaters for a three week cume of $357.5M, which is 7% behind Avengers: Age of Ultron which finaled at $459M. If Civil War keeps up its pace, then it will final a stateside B.O. north of $425M. Among last weekend’s entries, their first weeks cumes are as follows: Sony/Rovio’s The Angry Birds Movie ($47.7M), Universal’s Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising ($29.2M) and Warner Bros.’ The Nice Guys ($15.4M). Everyone is looking forward to strong holds thanks to the four-day holiday stretch.

Note that DOFP's previews started at 10PM and in 600 less theaters so Apocalypse is a bit behind.

X-Men movie made 8.2 mil last night.

Saw it last night and here is my review of it



I give the movie a solid 7/10. It was jam packed full of highs but a BUNCH of lows. I felt like Apocalypse's character was almost laughable at times and there wasn't a lot of character development for some of the core characters. I wanted more of Jean, Storm, and Cyclops. It felt try hard at times. And IDK if I'm the only one but having the phoenix as the hero seemed like an obvious ending IMO. Especially with the recurring motif of "Let loose, stop controlling your powers go BIG". Apocalypse followed this theme with enhancing his four horsemen's powers and Kurt, Jean and Cyclops all embraced this at one point or another. Lawrence's portrayal felt like another Hunger Games movie at times - especially that ending scene with the Sentinels. The fight scenes were SO lackluster and the four horsemen - aside from Magneto - were pathetic. Quicksilver's character was definitely a standout for me and his solo scene was one of THEE best moments of the film hands down! On the contrary, Wolverine's cameo felt out of place and pointless (although I understand its importance with connecting the other films).

I will say that although the ending was obvious, it still SLAYED me. When Sophie walked through those doors I let out a YELP! Like YASSSS BITCH **** IT UP! Lady Sansa didn't come to play with you hoes she came to slay! (Side Bar: I'm glad I didn't get too much/if any "Sansa" from Sophie.

All in all, the movie was decent but it definitely was something I could've waited to see on DVD.

Most say films start at 10/midnight but I've always seen earlier showings, especially for big blockbusters.

In the US previews starting at 10 and midnight are really, really rare now. It's usually 7, sometimes even 6 like BvS.

http://deadline.com/2016/05/x-men-ap...ce-1201763668/

X-Men looks to mint $29M-$30M today which includes an $8.2M Thursday, while Alice looks to eat up $9M. Three-day for X-Men is $78M, while Alice will file second with $31M

Decent, although if those #s stick it could miss 200 million domestically.

About to watch the first XXXMen video.

You know I'm a nice person so I won't report you, but please don't tell me to buy a brain. I'm very educated, and know exactly what I'm talking about, but thanks.

The storytelling is god awful. We did not get into depth about Apocalypse and his motivations. They did not do a good job explaining why he chose his Four Horseman and why they accepted. They left the Wolverine scene so open. Jubilee could've been excluded. The film focused too much on a few characters that the others fell short. The movie really is forgettable, and the few action scenes just did not live up to the hype.

These comic movie films should take a page or two out of MCU's book because they have crafted dozens of characters with prolonged story arcs that continues to cultivate into mega events. They made Ant-Man work and have a real impact in the films. Can you honestly say the same about X-Men? They have been doing these films since 2000 and have not gotten it perfect yet, 16 years later.

[MrDeeds]

One thing tho, the new cast is awesome
Storm
Jean
Cyclops
NC
Angel > the last one

[halcyonday]

Who cares about a girl who can only create sparkles when we had amazing Nightcrawler and Quicksilver. Yikes.
