Updated with numbers…makes $30 million in first 3 days of release!
X-MEN: FIRST CLASS was a huge success on Blu-Ray and DVD, taking the #1 spot on sales charts for its first week ending September 11th! The mutant-powered “X-Men” prequel directed by Matthew Vaughn lived up to its “First Class” title, selling $10 million on DVD and $19 million on Blu-Ray. 60% of its total package unit sales were in the Blu-Ray format. Its competition “Hanna” was no match, with the film selling 5 to 1 Blu-Ray’s and 4 to 1 DVD’s.
In its second week, THOR bested FIRST CLASS, dropping the film to #2 on the charts.
Digital downloads are doing great as well, debuting at #1 on iTunes for both movie rentals and full purchases.
This ultimately equals success for 20th Century Fox, who released the film in theaters in June. The critically-praised film brought in a respectable $146 million in domestic box office, with worldwide numbers edging toward $353 million.
Internal discussions are underway for a potential sequel.
Sequel! Sequel! Sequel!!!!
Yes please! 🙂
That is great news. Can’t wait for the sequel!
I really enjoyed this movie. Hoping to see another chapter…hopefully with Cyclops and/or Jean.
Anyone know if they’re going to release a DVD with more special features? It’s pretty bare bones! 🙁
No info on that yet. The Blu-Ray has ALL the good stuff.
What are they waiting for??? Damn it. They have a movie fans and critics alike loved. It made a sh#t load of money, and now even more… every other studio would have had the sequel at least in preproduction status right now…
Seriously. Hire a writer and get things moving. You can manage multiple X-Men films at once. 🙂
