[Lord Blackbolt]

X4 would have made around the same as Wolverine IMO

 

[BMM]

There are too many variables to make a proper estimate.

 

[Electrix]

It may have made more, but it would have also cost a helluva lot more.

 

[ChaoticPsylocke]

i voted 105-120. i feel that if X4 had been made, properly executed and had good publicity, it could easily make that.

i feel that if an Xmen movie was finally done right AND given the budget to actually be awesome the box office would show that.

The Xmen franchise has the greatest potential out of all comics to truly become huge like the Dark Knight.

 

[Drizzle]

I think it would have been the exact same opening weekend.

 

[Ion Kenshin]

IMO Since all the other X-films practically centered around Wolverine this movie was pretty much X4 or Wolverine 4 depending on how you look at it.

 

[Cyma]

Besides Wolverine being in it, X-men 4 means more new mutants thus more action. So it certainly would’ve made more than Wolverine Origins.

 

[psylockolussus]

Probably more than Origins, but I say definitely less than X3's opening weekend.

so $90 million.
