Which movie do you think will dominate the box office?

GODZILLA!!!!!!!!! SKREEEEEEEEEOOOOONK!!!!! but if there was a rival between two of them it would probably be between xmen and Godzilla. 

Sadly, I must say that The Amazing Spider-man 2 will in fact be at top in may.

I would like to hope it's Godzilla. but it's not :( Spider Man...it's all about mainstream guys...bad thing.

well no offense to you super hero fans out there but, i am hoping that godzilla will not only dominate the box office but send these same old super hero's in total retreat.

The spider man series should have came to an end when toby mcguire quit, but this is only how i feel about super hero movies, they just seem the same really.

spiderman has been getting bad reviews, atleast thatll slow it down just a little bit

kind of hope people are getting bored with super hero movies. this movie needs as much attention as possible

People are already getting bored of X-men.

As said above, Spiderman has been getting bad reviews.

It'll end up being Godzilla and Spiderman. Spiderman's walk will be harmed by it's bad reviews as Junkerde said above though.

If we're lucky, Godzilla may come out on top.

Yeah, I'm sick of the superhero films. And the new Spiderman just seems like it was made soley to milk more money from the character.

Also don't get me started on Xmen:

Good God, that's hideous.

Unlike many of you I love super hero movies (I went to Cap2 3 times) but I have to admit, ASM2 and XMen both look like they are going to be train wrecks. They both feel like they are trying to do to much with a single movie (How many villains do you need!?) I'm not even sure I will see ASM2 in theaters. I will probably see XMen, but I don't expect much (Again, too many characters = lack of focus).As for the big guy, I already have tickets for 3 different showings (10pm Thursday, 10pm Friday, and 10pm Saturday). I'm just one person, but I know I'm doing my part.

Bryan Singer is in the middle of a disturbing sex scandal which will affect x-men to some degree but it's a given that for the past few years comic book films bring in huge audiences. Still the buzz for Godzilla is HUGE, a movie which months ago critics predicted would fail because they believe Godzilla doesnt have a big selling factor. My co-workers see my Godzilla tattoo so they come up to me and talk about the trailers and how they NEED to see this film on a big Imax.

Spiderman is going to take May easily becauses its a sequal. However, once people see it and word of mouth spreads it will die out fast.  I saw the movie a few weeks back and its awful (Yes, i love superhero movies too). They are trying to make a universe like Marvel but it feels forced which makes the entire movie suffer. Generally people are sick of Xmen and with Singer's scandel it will be last.  Godzilla will sell more in the long term than both, im confident in that.

YEAH! Godzilla going to the top! hate to say it but I was right, and hopefully my statement keeps goin to the box office? Godzilla will do geat, and now that word is getting out that the critics dident like AS2! that puts godzilla in the driver seat baby! x-men will fall just like AS2 watc! I bet godzilla will take over May! Let's wait and see :)

If the horrific Godzilla 1998 could do  $380 million worldwide (considering inflation it would be equavalent to $550 million in 2014), then a well-reviewed Godzilla 2014 could do $800-$1 billion dollars, worldwide.  You guys are right, there is starting to be a little superhero fatique.  I can pretty much tell you how Spiderman is going to play without ever seeing the movie.  The key to Godzilla doing great is it has to get good reviews, otherwise a percentage of movie-goers will being to associate the 1998 bomb with this one.

There's a new Adam Sandler movie this month right? Then that. Definitely that.

Spiderman is going to win out easily. It ALREADY has over $150 mil worldwide (healthily outpacing Captain America 2, which itself is resting at $650 mil), is tracking for a $95 mil opening in the U.S. and hasn't opened in some of the largest international markets yet, such as China. So that's $300 mil, basically in the bag/on the books before we even hit next Monday.

It won't be a better movie, but it will be the more popular movie. It has an uncontested release date, and MOST of it's reviews are positive. Maybe just slightly above average positive, but still positive. More importantly, most people are saying this Spiderman was better than Andrew Garfield's first one, which logged $750 million. So expect this Spiderman to rake in AT LEAST that much, $850 mil or more probably. 

X-Men vs Godzilla??? This one will will be a more interesting contest.

The previous X-Men (even the popular ones) sat around the $450 million range. However, this is by far the most popular cast ever assembled for X-Men (let's face it, the whole world has gone gaga over Jennifer Lawrence for some reason), and with the last two films getting good reviews, and this X-Men the most likely of the three films to bring in a female audience, this X-Men is poised to be the strongest one of the whole series at the Box Office (not best X-Men movie, just best Box Office). I'd give X-Men a $550-600 mil estimate.

Godzilla itself is already tracking into the $500 mil ish range, with $60 mil estimated on opening weekend, and 2-4 more weekends of 50% declines after that, and a basically guaranteed $300 mil overseas. More if China picks it up. Godzilla also has the strongest reviews I think, despite having a stronger negative predisposition to overcome.

Godzilla vs X-Men will be close, with X-Men having the SLIGHT edge at this point. If X-Men specifically gets BAD reviews, I could see Godzilla only dropping 30%-40% in weeks 2 and three, while X-Men might see 50-60% drops instead of Godzilla. If they both get good/okay reviews however, I see X-Men nudging out Godzilla...but by less than $100 mil.

Whoever wins May, wins the Summer most likely, as later competition is actually weaker. How to Train Your Dragon 2, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and Guardians of the Galaxy being less likely candidates to contend, but not so weak as to be outright dismissed. 

On the year, The Hobbit is probably the winner of 2014, and probably one of the only 2014 films to cross $1 billion worldwide. Christopher Nolan's Interstellar remains a dark horse in the Box Office race until we get a trailer. Almost everything Nolan has touched in the past 10 years has been Box Office AND Cinematic Gold, and everyone knows it. As such, Interstellar will make bank either way, but it really depends on what kind of piece this is. If more of a niche, artsy thing, maybe less than $600 mil. If something with broader appeal, yeah, it tops a bil, and maybe wins the whole damn race. 

Don't listen to this guy^ he's nothing but a nay sayer. He dosent believe and that pisses me off! 0_0

I've been asked this question many times in school. When they asked who will dominate the box office for May 2014, everybody was saying Amazing Spiderman 2 or X-men. When I said Godzilla, everybody was laughing. Anyways, I saw a review on the AS2 and the reviewer said it was the WORST super hero film in history. X-men, meh. I am not liking what I am seeing. They just wanna get money and use it for their own good. Looks like AM2 is like an advertisment to AS3 (Yes, you heard me right. Their will be an AS3 in 2016) and that tells us that they don't care about the films, they just want money. XMDOFP (X-Men Days Of Future Past) looks very disapointing. The pic's they've released of the characters are horrible. Godzilla on the other hand, looks like the production really payed attention to the film and weren't even thinking of sequels (Cough cough Amazing Spiderman 2...). On many "Top 10 most anticipated movies of May/year", Godzilla is either #1 or if not, it is in the list. Overall, I think the "God of Kaiju" will dominate the box office. Hopefully the Kaiju genre is reborned!

I'm not a 'nay sayer', I just try to keep things real. I mean you REALLY think Godzilla is going to make $300 mil in its opening four days??? Really??? If so, I applaud your optimism I guess, but objectively I just don't see it.

Because that's exactly what Spiderman is doing right now. It already actually has $150 mil, and it's not even Friday. 

I'm not saying Spiderman will be the better movie. In fact, I'm 95% sure Godzilla will be the better film. Unfortuantely, Box Office receipts don't usually go to the better film though. 

And keep in mind, as I've mentioned in other threads, Godzilla vs. .....insert movie here.... battle really is not important. The more important thing (to me anyway) is that Godzilla gets a sequel. To get a sequel, it needs around $500 mil, which it is tracking to get, which is awesome!!! Godzilla originally wasn't tracking that high 3-4 months ago, so great work marketing team!!!. In that sense, mission accomplished :-)

I think Spiderman 2 literally cheated its way to massive takings through the use of its marketing materials. Having watched the show, I thought the movie was a bit too stretched out, the storyline wasn't particularly fantastic, and the worst thing is that the most exciting scenes of the movie are actually the ones already being played out repeatedly in the Spiderman 2 trailers, except for the unexpected ending.

So basically the most exciting parts are already in the trailers, making people think Spiderman 2 is gonna be fantastic, and in that respect, I think the marketing people have succeeded in 'cheating' the moviegoers. 

For Godzilla, I think the marketing is doing a great job too, it seems a lot of people on my Fb list have been posting statuses like: '" Can't wait to catch Spiderman 2, Godzilla and Xmen Days of Future Past. "

With Godzilla released in between these two epic movies, there's no worry of competing for the same pie because they are in a different league, and these 3 movies combined will make a hell of a movie season.
