This week, X-Men: Days of Future Past dominated the box office. Meanwhile, grosses for other movies are not yet available.

The sequel to the 2011 prequel earned an estimated ₱ 170 million ($3.9 million according to estimates). That's the highest opening gross from a X-Men movie. It is way up from the recent X-Men movies: Wolverine, First Class, The Wolverine (₱ 45.9 million, ₱ 71.09 million, ₱ 93.6 million  respectively).

Thanks to the increase of moviegoers and the addition of 3D, it's now a foregone conclusion that this will be the highest grossing X-Men movie and the next X-Men movie (X-Men: Apocalypse is currently scheduled for a 2017 release date) will be bigger than ever. But for Days of Future Past, ₱ 400 million is likely reachable.
