Dark Phoenix $ The DARK PHOENIX Box Office Speculation ThreaD $

[Kahran Ramsus]

Yikes! That's bad.

 

[Dark Raven]

Is that close to Endgame's opening weekend?

 

[I Am The Knight]

$39 million is a horrific number.

 

[TeeKay]

Spoke too soon. BoxOfficeMojo just put up their Thursday-scheduled Forecast. And it's depressing as hell.

'Secret Life of Pets 2' and 'Dark Phoenix' Look to Lead Weekend Box Office - Box Office Mojo

They forecast SLOP2 at $51Mil

And I'll turn over to Brad for the depressing part of the news:

• The Secret Life of Pets 2 (4,561 theaters) - $51.0 M
• Dark Phoenix - $39.0 M

He's comparing the Box Office to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows PEOPLE!!! That movie made $82Mil Domestically!!!

 

[Iceman]

You’re the one who doesn’t get it. The Top 10 openings this year have all been Adaptations, Sequels and Reboots save for one: Us.

Ditto for 2018, save for one: Bohemian Rhapsody.

All of 2017’s Top 10 were Adaptations, Sequels and Prequels.

Now tell me again how an overwhelming majority likes original content and have “sequel and reboot fatigue.” It’s a nice sentiment but the facts don’t follow it.

I don't think he likes facts. They keep getting in the way of things he wants to make up.

$39 million is a horrific number.

Didn't Fant4stic only make as much in its entire run as Ant-Man made in its opening weekend?

This is getting silly now.

I don't know, probably? Didn't Kinberg ghost direct that one?

 

[EnDz0n3]

Welcome back TeeKay

Didn't Fant4stic only make as much in its entire run as Ant-Man made in its opening weekend?

Fan4stic made $25Mil opening weekend, for a domestic total of $56Mil.

Ant-Man made $57Mil opening weekend. So yea LOL

 

[Blade Hoarder]

I smell another Justice League! People throw their lowest predictions ever. The movie rises to the occasion to an opening even lower than that! You can do it phoenix!

 

[samsnee]

How come this poll only goes up to over 700 million worldwide, and not in the 2 billion club like Avengers Endgame?

Because we live in reality?

 

[psylockolussus]

Is that close to Endgame's opening weekend?

The difference is $311 million+ so nope.

 

[samsnee]

Not even close to Endgame’s opening night.

 

[Detective Conan]

No X-Men film should open lower than freakin’ Shazam even if it is domestically.

 

[Micromind]

Shazam was facing direct competition from CM, Dumbo and Avengers Endgame, it did well considering crowded month it was released in, Shazam opened to $53 mil, not bad considering everything.

 

[Gold Samurai]

Chinese audience has rejected the movie.

The Avengers have bought their loyalty

What is "Dark Phoenix" to them? It means nothing to them. There has been no 10 year hype like the Avengers and MCU movies.

I don't think they even remember "Apocalypse"

If they did it was pretty forgettable

 

[Kuwolski]

No X-Men film should open lower than freakin’ Shazam even if it is domestically.

All things considered the X-Men should be opening like the Avengers. At the very least 120 m plus when things are bad. It's an an absolute joke what this franchise has been reduced to. Audiences are making these characters their punching bags.

 

[Iceman]

They’re a laughing stock.

[Kanon]

Well, at least those who want it, got that (spiritual) sequel to Fant4astic

 

[Spider-Fan]

Where does that put it in regards to tracking? Are we looking at 40 mil or worse now?

 

[Sage2016]

I'll say around 400 million is a good estimation total.
The promotional stuff can't be much more on top of the budget, because there was hardly any.

 

[Kanon]

Where does that put it in regards to tracking? Are we looking at 40 mil or worse now?

Deadline is still somehow projecting 50-55

40 seems to be the general consensus over at BOT right now. Mendelson does his usual slew of comps here:

 

[Sage2016]

I'll like to know what it made in the UK since Wednesday. I went to the first screening and there was literally 10 people in there. Apocalypse was full.
