Why couldn't fox allow marvel to use the xmen rights in a film for the right price. Money talks, when all these films are established in the marvel universe and their fans have really made it a statement that they want the xmen, Spider-Man and the avengers and whoever else in the marvel universe, I feel like these companies could come together to make that happen....

^ You really think Disney is going to be willing to buy the X-Men franchise back from FOX for the right price? (mind you I know the price is gonna be something crazy huge to justify selling it).

Disney would rather wait until FOX gives up and lets the rights revert back to them without paying.

That's how the smart business works. Disney don't need to be impatient, they already have a few billion dollar movie franchises.

Also bull **** I saw Rudy, didn't care for it, definitely didn't shed tears and don't mind that the current Wolverine is tall. Yall dudes need to get over it. Him being the center of most of these movies is one complaint but that'll eventually change.

Obviously they would rather wait, but how long is the wait? The smartest move needs to be made and I'm not saying Disney should rush and be irrational. I'm saying that Fox is doing a god-awful job with comic-book franchises (after initially setting the bar) and they need to give up the rights to Marvel just as much as that coward Jackman need to relinquish the role of Wolverine. (I hate him not because he's tall, but because he sucks)

Can we please start a petition for fox to lose its rights for X-Men, as long as Fox have rights we will never ever see a good X-Men film

By all means, start your petition... meanwhile..

Worldwide box office for all the X-Men films, nearly 2.2 billion

That's cute, but 2.2 billion since 2000

Problem is that is your opinion and the box office numbers doesn't lie to CEOs and stockholders.

TheWolverine already made $300mil worldwide on a $120mil budget and it is still going.

I mean seriously, let's be honest, this post is more personal than rational business thinking. Hate the film or actor as much as you want, it makes money. Transformers 3 is one of the worst films I have ever seen and paid to see and it still made a billion and that is why they are filming a 4th one right now, that will likely be as bad or worse.

Oh, it's very personal. I'm half-considering an emo montage of me siting around reading my old comics. But what's really sad is that no studio should be proud of make 300-400 million off of Wolverine. Show the character some damn respect. He's on the level of Spider-Man, Batman, and Transformers by himself. They are treating him like some b-list Ghostrider/Punisher/Daredevil ish with this version of the character. But now that Hugh has finally bulked up and has taken the wife-beater off, everyone is jaded. More explosions, more muscle, more "grrrrr", more money. Everyone can clearly see that they are not using the character to it's full potential, but everyone seems ok with it. I don't get it.

XMen franchise for less than $3bil? But Disney bought Marvel for $4bil (as in the whole Marvel company). I think Disney would be crazy to pay $3bil or more just to get the rights back for one franchise and Fox would be crazy to sell for less too. That is where things would fall apart, putting a value to the rights.

You also have to keep in mind that this is Disney, these guys are money grubbing bastards. And with their giant movie flops (John Carter & Lone Ranger), they can't really just be throwing billions and billions out there, especially since they have plenty of money tied up to the whole Marvel Films Universe right now. Again, remember that the actors are demanding more money and they just gave RDJ $50mil for Avengers & IM3 and likely another $100mil-$150mil for A2 & A3. These films cost a lot to make now that they can't pay Hemsworth and Evans $500k per films anymore.


Will they make their money if they buy Xmen now? In time, yes. Is it a guaranteed to come soon enough that it doesn't affect their profit margin for the year and not scare their shareholders? Maybe, but that is a big maybe. I am sure there are plenty of other factors that we aren't even considering here, I mean if Disney really feels they can afford to take these films away from Fox & Sony with very low risk and w/o losing much money, then they would have already. But right now, they are probably very happy at where they are at, they still manage to get around with loopholes like Quiksilver & Scarlet Witch being included in A2 and focusing on having the rights back to Daredevil, Punisher and Blade.

Oh man, I don't think they are treating him like a B-lit character at all. All XMen films except one have been about him, not to mention the 2 solo films and upcoming DoFP that is centered on him as well. Hell they couldn't even keep him away from 1st Class, he just had to get a cameo in there.

This is not how a b-list character is treated.

And no one seems to be answering why disney would pay billions for the movie rights for x-men or spiderman when they got all of marvel for 4 billion. I guarantee they wont make they money back as fast or even fast enough for it to be worth it.

Only sony I think. If any non marvel movie makes it to an avengers film it will be spiderman. Do you honestly think Fox would ever be cooperative?

Obviously they would rather wait, but how long is the wait? The smartest move needs to be made and I'm not saying Disney should rush and be irrational.

The wait will last as long as it takes for these movies to start flopping (never).

How did Fox set the bar? It was Sony's Spiderman franchise that set the bar?

i hit u that monday after
the movie still sucked though

RFX mad Wolverine got better ratings than Superman

i know it's a trap but IM3 and SR also got better reviews than MoS and I would watch that a 100x over before even sitting through SR or IM3 again.

I'm genuinely curios if you've even seen MoS yet though.

Disney don't care how long the wait is gonna be. They're making billions in the mean time. Disney don't care how bad a job FOX is doing. The smart move for Disney would be to wait. FOX won't let the rights revert as long as they're making money no matter how many ppl think their movies suck. $ is the bottom line

WOW @ calling a Jackman a coward. Uncalled for and baseless. I think we all know you wouldn't say that to his face as jacked up as he is now. You need to calm down and face reality.

You are delusional.

GR, DD, and Punisher wish they could make 300-400 mil. How are they treating Wolverine like he's b-list when he's been the star of every X movie except First Class and 2 of his own?

@ 3 billion for the X-Men.

 

[mrdozo]

I cant believe some people in here are bashing Hugh Jackman. He's done a great job being wolverine. I cant think of anyone who could bring it better than Hugh has brung it as Logan.
Im actually surprised an actor of his caliber has remained dedicated and even happy to continue with the role over so many films.
look at tobey and Christian Bale. those ninjas did 3 films and called it quits.

Mr. Jackman, I salute you and appreciate your efforts as the Wolverine.

 

[Gill Baka Esq. LLC.]

Hell no. why would I do such a thing.

 

[shogun]

Some of you need to give it a rest already. Fox isn't going to give Xmen back to Marvel just because you want them to or sign a little petition. I see the same person is complaining about Jackman again. This thread is full of big walls of text now.

 

[CP1708]

Should also be mentioned how much money Disney already paid out to land the Star Wars franchise, to me, clearly suggesting it was a safer, bigger purchase than buying back the X-Men franchise.

Star Wars was 4 Billionish, but they have the ability to produce a movie every single year for a couple decades before that well dries up. (and it most likely never will)

They could have that 4 Bill made up by 2018-19 with ease. Everything after that will be excess cash.

I'm in the wrong ****** business.

 

[SORIANOTRON]

Would you God damn guys please stop bashing Daredevil? For the love of God. That movie was solid, quit treating it like Fantastic Four 3.

 

[x Buddha Bless x]

Every time I see somebody talk about how bad DD was I think of CP defending it now

It's all about the money. For everyone. You're acting like Tobey and Bale didn't crush the game as the stars of their films and make way more money.


Hugh Jackmas was a NOBODY before wolverine and all of a sudden "an actor of his caliber has remained dedicated". Absolute nonsense. He knows this is is his bread and butter and he's milking it for all it's worth.


He admitted that he didn't even know what a Wolverine was until filming started for X-Men: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1711221/wolverine-beginnings-hugh-jackman.jhtml


The dude admitted that the Origins sucked: http://www.hitfix.com/galleries/10-...gh-jackman-admits-last-wolverine-movie-sucked


He spews BS about a possible R rated version: http://www.reelz.com/movie-news/11990/hugh-jackman-discusses-the-wolverines-possible-r-rating/


Now this **** wants to be a part of the Avengers: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/07/13/hugh-jackman-wants-wolverine-in-the-avengers


You boy is MILKING it.


Guys have this weird man-crush on Jackman, I swear. And do mean "guys." What makes him such a good Wolverine? What makes him so dedicated? That he bulked up? He was never a good fit and people who've seen the original source material know it. Like I said before, Hugh Jackman is the new Adam West. Change will come eventually. Just the Wolverine name alone is a 300 million dollar movie, regardless of who plays him. I'll even say I enjoyed Jackman as Wolverine.... in X-Men and X2. After it was obvious that Wolverine would become the focal point of the franchise... no bueno.

 

[CP1708]

I always will.

Gets a bad rap.

The tone of that film was very good, and is funny to me that Favreau got started with comic films there. You could tell he was a big fan, same with the Kevin Smith cameo.

I liked a lot of what was done, even if there were "mistakes made" or things left out. X-Men barely got the ball rolling in 2000, these guys were probably a little ahead of themselves, but they did a lot of good work for how comic movies came to be known. The darker tones, the "I'm not the bad guy, kid" type dialogue, the alone -set apart hero, and of course Colin Farrell was just a blast.

The only piece I didn't get was Kingpin. I felt they underwhelmed him.


You dudes are trippin.

 

[rfx45]

Jackman back & forth is redundant now, just go to the Wolverine movie thread and read the last 20 or so pages because that is pretty much how it is going to go from here on out if it continues.

 

[rfx45]

Back to the thread topic...

Sentinel blue print.

In 1973, Trask Industries introduced the first Sentinel production model, the Mark I. Bolivar Trask’s groundbreaking research in AI, robotics and autonomous ballistic systems laid the foundation for the world's most capable anti-mutant defense system. Since the program's inception, we’ve continued to advance our founder's cause through eight additional generational upgrades and enhancements.

As we celebrate five decades of achievement, we also bid farewell to regular production of the Mark I and shift our efforts to full-time manufacturing of the Mark X — our first complete overhaul of the Sentinel line. These highly anticipated units will combine next-generation nanotechnology and bioweapon breakthroughs, promising an even brighter future for the human race.

Son trying to say Hugh Jackman aint a good actor now As if Tobey had 6 Oscars before he became Spider-Man. I can't even put Tobey in the same caliber as Bale and Jackman yet (granted I still didn't see the flick with him and Jake). Also lets not act like Bale didn't become a memorable name until 2000 (or whenever American Psycho came out).

Son got endless vitroil for Jackman and can't get over it.

Yeah, it's really annoying now. He probably wishes he could travel in time and punch Jackman's mom in the stomach when she was pregnant.
