Timo Qvintus says
Wow. This actually has a chance of breaking $800M with Japan release still coming up. That’s crazy.
Gary@FlickeringMyth says
Incredible. I did not think it would make half of that.
Luke Owen says
Yeah it really is. I can’t see it passing $800, but it will certainly pass DOFP and Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Jaelin Farrow says
Wow, this is unbelievable! I can’t wait for this bad boy to come out though, I need to watch it again!
The Walking Cuban says
It’s already the highest domestic xmen film and is just under DOFP worldwide. Crazy
