“Dark Phoenix” Was A Massive Bomb
Yahoo! Finance says that Disney released their Q3 earnings press release on Tuesday, which was their first full quarter since acquiring Fox. The X-Men franchise has made a lot of money for 20th Century Fox. Disney probably thought the first X-Men movie since their acquisition was going to dump more money into Scrooge McDuck’s swimming pool. Nope! Dark Phoenix actually took money out, not surprisingly.
“Dark Phoenix” Flopped At The Box Office This Weekend
If the X-Men’s Jean Grey was, indeed, a real person she would have predicted this early on and burned down every set and piece of equipment attached to the abysmal X-Men: Dark Phoenix film, because not only did it get shit reviews, it’s getting awful box office numbers too. The 12th X-Men movie, starring Sophie Turner (who was on some HBO show too, right?), has been making audiences cringe way before the movie premiered on Friday. Now that its opening weekend is coming to a close, the money that Dark Phoenix has brought in far is the equivalent of doing an eighty-hour work week and getting paid $100. In nickels.
