Least advertised Marvel movie of past five years. For each occasion in past six months that I saw a preview come up for Dark Phoenix....there must have been fifteen previews come up for new Spiderman movie. I think they knew last year that the story for this X-Men movie was awful weak, and still proceeded on.
Not a great first day but 14 million in one day is nothing to sneeze at. It will make the 200 million back through streaming.
X-men has been ridden to death! Just boring now!
That Sophia girl from GOT was out making ahole leftist comments before the release. We vowed to never give them a dime. Just deserts to that smarmy, crappy “actress”.
I suppose the irony is that apart from the origin story/stories, many are in agreement that the Dark Phoenix saga was the high point of the X-Men book.
But they already covered a good portion of this ground with the Famke Janssen as Jean Grey films.
So how long until Sophie Turner insults fans refusing to eat the crap sandwich they were served...
Go to hell Sansa.
The X men franchise has been running on fumes for a long time. The Dark Phoenix storyline is a great on (original comic) I will see the movie later today.. just to see if they do it justice. They did a horrible job in X-men 3 shoving it in there.
But overall the X-men franchise has been limping along for a LONG time now
But it’s a movie about “strong” women. What teenaged boy wouldn’t want to see that during the first weeks of summer?
I’m sick to death of these comic book movies. The only way I’ll see another one is if a pickup truck full of rednecks with a keg of beer show up, and proceed to stomp the asses of Batman, Superman, The X-Men, The Avengers, and every other straggler into puddles of swamp water.
Saw the trailers for both movies and they turned me off cold. Won’t be wasting my money on them for sure.
X-Men , yawn , how many times can they remake the same movie
Your 9.5 is getting bad reviews.
Outside of two Marvel movies, this has been a terrible year at the box office.
Any idea if there is a Pop Culture ping list?
I was looking forward to this movie, until I saw the previews. Very meh. I’ll skip it. I’ve actually enjoyed the latest X-Men movies, including Apocalypse. Last Stand has its moments, but if this movie is truly worse it isn’t worth it.
Sansa / Sophie Turner didn’t help by moral peacocking “I don’t want to work where abortion is illegal” right before the opening.
The irony is that the Game of Thrones was shot in part in northern Ireland where abortion was illegal.
Die, Hollywood, Die!
I asked my 16 year old son about it. He said that this one didn’t interest him at all. He likes these kind of movies, but he said that the X-Men franchise is basically a crap sandwich ever since the second one
Jennifer Lawrence is in it so more then half the potential audience is sitting this out due to her comments.
