I truly feel like Fox is running on borrowed time with these franchises.
Fox, despite cranking out the most films for an individual franchise, really hasn't been successful as the other studios.
DOFP is their only Marvel film to gross over $400 million. And considering they've released 9 films including the FF films (working on the 10th and 11th with the FF reboot and 'Apocalypse'), that says ALOT about their films.
Sony has released half of the amount of that, and has never grossed under $600 million.
Fox needs to straighten up. They can only go so far now that they're beginning to lose the luxury of familiar and nostalgic faces like Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman.
Familiarity and quantity is why they've stayed afloat, but times are quickly changing.
