Holy snikt. X-Men: Days of Future Past just did something no X-Men film has ever done before: Crossed $500 million worldwide.

The complexity of the storytelling, the collision of two X universes and one hell of a final action sequence are certainly just  a few of the things that make X-Men: Days of Future Past the most popular X-Men film, even if it’s not the best (that goes to First Class). But fans have fallen in love with the film. I even went as far as saying what they do is a bigger deal than what happened in The Avengers because it hit the hard reset button on the franchise and introduce the multiverse to superhero films in a way people can understand.

Surprising as it may be that no other X franchise film hit the half billion dollar mark worldwide. Here’s the breakdown:

• X-Men: Days of Future Past – $500 million (as of 6/2)
• X-Men: The Last Stand – $459 million
• The Wolverine – $415 million
• X2: X-Men United – $407 million
• X-Men Origins: Wolverine – $373 million
• X-Men: First Class – $353 million
• X-Men – $296 million

What’s even more astounding here is that Days of Future Past toppled the franchise record in just nine days. (I don’t know about you, but I plan on seeing it again, too.) Given that X-Men: Apocalypse will likely be an even bigger deal that Days of Future Past, you can bet that there are nothing but blue skies up ahead for Fox’s X movies.
