X-Men Tops Box Office; Sandler Flops Again

In category Box Office Review on May 27, 2014 No comments

The seventh live-action film in the X-Men franchise shows that the property is still capable of generating blockbuster numbers at the box office. The four day weekend totals for Days Of Future Past surpassed $100 M, landing it in the top spot by a margin of around $60 M over Godzilla, which ruled last week in its debut. Adam Sandler’s Blended earned third place with around $15 M, but its ratings are mostly in the toilet.

Each week we like to try to let you know how films fared at the movie theater box office. Here’s a bit more about those movies, followed by more information from the box office:

X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST

Brief Synopsis: “”Days of Future Past” is a popular storyline in the Marvel Comics comic book The Uncanny X-Men issues #141 and #142, published in 1981. It deals with a dystopian alternative future in which mutants are incarcerated in internment camps. An older Kitty Pryde transfers her mind into the younger, present-day Kitty Pryde, who brings the X-Men to prevent a fatal moment in history which triggers anti-mutant hysteria.”
