>>83736888>second and thirdCurrently the first and second are Deadpool and DoFP, respectively.
The third is still Brett Ratner's X3, which adjusted for inflation made something in the region of $545m (putting it 14% ahead of Apocalypse); even Bryan Singer's own X2 made the equivalent of $530m in 2003, placing it 10% ahead of XMA, which is currently therefore the fifth most successful X-Men film (of 9, making it very much middle of the road).
XMA is currently significantly underperforming in the domestic market even going by the expectations set by its own opening weekend, and is basically finished there; it will be lucky to break the $150m mark. Internationally, it opened a week earlier in most territories (including almost all major territories) and is thus also mostly finished. The only place it's still making money is China; but even with China's audiences it will be lucky to push past X2. X3's spot on the list is a distant, distant dream, which means Singer will remain (once again) the fourth most successful director of the franchise he began.
He is the most free-spending director of the franchise, however, as he doesn't appear to care that his budgets are much larger than anybody else's except Ratner's (which he also spent most of before walking away from the project).
He probably isn't coming back.
