?X-Men: Apocalypse? Firing Off $90M, ?Alice? Taking A Spill With $40M Over 4-Day Memorial Day Holiday
Oh, no! It looks like it?s Tomorrowland all over again for Disney. Industry projections shows 20th Century Fox?s super-charged X-Men: Apocalypse raining meteors on Disney?s sequel Alice Through the Looking Glass, with respective 4-day takes of $90M to $40M. Alice 2 cost $170M before P&A, so if these figures keep up and don?t pop, it?s off with her head.
X-Men looks to mint $29M-$30M today which includes an $8.2M Thursday, while Alice looks to eat up $9M, including a meh $1.5M. alice through the looking glassThree-day for X-Men is $78M, while Alice will file second with $31M. It?s funny, we heard some lone projection earlier in the week from an analyst that Alice 2 was poised to tank, but we thought it was far too cynical to digest; most box office trackers were seeing Alice 2?s opening through rosy-colored glasses with $55M-$60M.
