The trailer makes it look worse then Hellboy. Using a slow somber cover of The Doors This is the End is like the worst example yet. That's already a somber song. It was good enough for Apocalypse Now.

Dark Phoenix Tracking For Record Low X-Men Franchise Opening ( Below The Wolverine)
- Thread starter Slayven
- Start date
That's extremely close to my own order. Seen it like that, it's actually quite interesting how Logan and the Deadpool movies kind of bridge the large gap in quality between the good X-Men movies and the bad ones; and in more general terms, how later movies in the franchise bridged the dizzying, yawning quality abyss between X1/2 and X3. :D
Bruh, if you wanna watch the movie and think you'll like it, I'm not about to talk you out of it. Go with God.
I know the movie will be trash (to me) because Fox doesn't understand the X-Men. I'm good.
They've made over 10 X-Men films. I'm sure Fox is doing fine with the property.
Fox isn't doing anything with it anymore lol. But do you, chief.
Lol you say this till the MCU manages it with ease.
I love Logan, but his importance to the roster is overstated.
Not surprised given that the audience knows that there's no point in watching it given that its getting rebooted in five years time.
They really aren't, all of the X-Men movies have always recycled the same plot of Xavier vs Magneto. They messed up with X-Men 3 that they had to write it out. Wolverine origin was suppose to be the first of the X-men origin series which got canned due to Wolverine: Origin bombing and eventually being written out.
X-Men: Apocalypse was a bland movie with lackluster reviews.
Oh and they are doing another take on the Dark Phoenix story and still getting it wrong.

First of all, Disney owns FOX now, so ???
But even if Disney didn't get the X-Men back, this very thread indicates that your comment about FOX doing "just fine" isn't true. The returns are diminishing, and the other X-Men movie in the pipeline, New Mutants, will likely garner even less interest. Managing your franchise isn't to the toilet isn't an ideal outcome of proper oversight...
I don't understand why they wanted to make yet another Dark Phoenix movie...this movie is going to come and go like a fart in the wind.
I can't believe they're letting this and New Mutants hit theaters after the acquisition. I would've just cancelled both and paid out those involved.
They're both going to result in financial losses, This comes out in less than 2 months and there is zero marketing push for it. It should sneak into theaters for like a month and then dip.

This isn't the issue... if people thought the movie would be decent, they'd go see hoe this particular series ends.
People still went to see TDKR even though it would be the last in the series.
From an audience vantage point: this has been one gigantic, incomprehensible reboot of the very thing they spent millions of dollars retconning in Days of Future Past.
It makes absolutely no sense.
Either that or the Disney acquisition goes deeper than we thought
I wonder if the average shmuck knows about the Disney deal and is just waiting for the REAL Children of the Atom or do people just not care after Apocalypse?
Probably a mix of both
Probably a mix of both
Most folks will see the new X-Men in five years and wonder why everyone is played by new actors for the third time.
I doubt it. We've had numerous Batman, Superman, and Spider-Man now. Plus they'll be in the MCU which should feel different enough to Fox's version
Its CBR so I'm going to guess it's not accurate at all. I've never heard of box office pro either.
It's the latter. Audiences are just worn down by the last two extremely subpar X-Men. Then they removed X-Men from the title, taking away the name recognition which was the only thing this (very likely) pile of garbage had going for it.
If the movie looked good in previews it could have generated buzz. It has looked TERRIBLE in previews. This film has literally no upside.
After Apocalypse being so awful, I can't imagine anyone paying full price to see this.
I'll watch it once it hits Redbox or something.

Think I'm just going to continue Claremont's X-Men run on Marvel Unlimited and call it a day. Not even Sophie Turner can get me out to see this movie in theaters.
