Universe powers or anything) dropped Firelord in single combat......or when Electro figured out Spider-Man stuck to the walls due to static electricity...etc.Not if their writing is just as bad.X-Men 3 did 1/3 of that in one weekend.By way of comparison, Eddie Murphy's Coming to America did just as well as FF did, but did so in 1988...with a production budget of $30M.  And at that, it actually lost money after figuring in distribution and marketing costs.*IOW, it was hardly a success.*In all fairness, part of that loss is attributable to Hollywood accounting methods which are notoriously wonky- see the lawsuit that Art Buchwald filed vs Coming to America's producers, or the one Israel filed vs the producers of Raid on Entebbe.But that system hasn't changed appreciably.</blockquote>
