I can see Disney giving a half assed campaign for Dark Phoenix, as it doesn't benefit MCU in the long run. And who knows they probably don't think it would do well in the first place so I don't see them putting much effort into the marketing.
Disney wont be able to touch any Fox property until at least 2019.
If the deal goes through, it likely wouldnt close until late 2018. Disney would then spend much of 2019 integrating the two companies assets, including cable-television networks, international TV distributors and a film and television studio.
Well we know, the cast of First Class/Apocalypse didn't resonate much with the public as much as the beloved original cast.
And the underperformance of Justice League should be an eye opener. If the predecessor sucked, it's more likely that the sequel would do worse or open lower at the box office (see The Last Knight, the Road Trip, Collision Course and Salazar's Revenge) and the like those movies, this is coming from a franchise that has been showing audience fatigue in different periods.
The difference is Apocalypse had mixed reception rather than terrible. Most people just found underwhelming and forgettable. BvS is a movie with legs comparable to Ang Lees Hulk without competition, was nominated and won several razzies. Ect...
And as already stated Logan was a follow-up to the Weapon X stuff in Apocalypse and the movie that was teased in the post-credit scene. Yet it had a better opening than Apocalypse did. The franchise has survived worst with Origins having the worse legs in the franchise.
