The movie beat out _Godzilla_, which dropped to second place with $31.4 million after [squashing industry estimates](http://time.com/104020/godzilla-box-office/ "undefined") a week ago. The _X-Men_ film is expected to earn approximately $110 million with the long weekend, potentially making it the fifth highest Memorial Day debut after _Fast & Furious 6_ grossed $117 million this time last year. In 2007, _Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End_ became the holiday weekend’s biggest debut with $140 million. A recent sexual-assault lawsuit against _X-Men_ director Bryan Singer, who [denied allegations](http://time.com/77224/bryan-singer-sexual-abuse-allegations/ "undefined") and backed out of doing press tour to avoid diverting attention from the film, did not stop moviegoers from filling seats. Meanwhile, Disney’s _Frozen_ became the fifth highest-grossing film in world history as its global gross hit $1.219 billion, [Deadline.com reports](http://www.deadline.com/2014/05/frozen-skates-past-iron-man-3-to-become-fifth-highest-grossing-movie-of-all-time-worldwide/ "undefined"). _Frozen_ takes that title from the studio’s own _Iron Man 3_, which has grossed $1.215 billion. \[[_AP_](http://bigstory.ap.org/article/x-men-dominates-holiday-box-office-91m "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/114481/xmen-days-of-future-past-box-office/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/114481/xmen-days-of-future-past-box-office/"},"headline":"X-Men: Days of Future Past Overpowers Godzilla at Box Office","datePublished":"2014-05-25T20:30:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T08:02:28.228Z","description":"The mutants staged a $91 million takeover of the domestic box office this weekend, as Disney's Frozen became the fifth highest-grossing movie in world history","url":"https://time.com/114481/xmen-days-of-future-past-box-office/","keywords":["movies","Godzilla"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte67624b3e07a9b67/698690cf169ab0440c27976e/852497_full.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte67624b3e07a9b67/698690cf169ab0440c27976e/852497_full.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"MCDXMDA FE022","caption":"MCDXMDA FE022","creditText":"20th Century Fox","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/114481/xmen-days-of-future-past-box-office/","name":"X-Men: Days of Future Past Overpowers Godzilla at Box Office"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Meet the New Mutants of X-Men: Days of Future Past","description":"A handy video guide to keep track of the new mutants fighting for their lives in X-Men Days of Future Past","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/jBcNxXWG/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-05-22T20:31:21.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/jBcNxXWG.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/114481/xmen-days-of-future-past-box-office/","duration":"PT1M23S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/114481/xmen-days-of-future-past-box-office/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
