Dark Phoenix followed by bad reviews and a poor opening weekend with almost a freefall. He had earned only $ 2,348 million on his second Friday, down 83.2% from a $ 14 million opening day. It's a bigger drop than Batman v Superman: The Dawn of Justice (-81%) and the biggest drop of this type for a "big" comics superhero movie of history.

Heck, it's basically the third biggest drop for a "big" movie after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II (-84% since a record opening day at that time of $ 90 million) and High School Musical 3 (-90% the second Friday, it was the night of Halloween). At this rate, it will only earn $ 8.63 million, a 74% drop in the second weekend. This will be the second biggest drop for any comic book superhero movie "big" except for Steel and its 78% fall on the second weekend ($ 870,068 out of $ 191,667) in 1997.

If we are talking about superhero movies on a larger scale, this is by far the biggest drop of this type this weekend, well before Hellboy II which dropped by 70% (from $ 34 million to $ 10 million) in 2008 compared to the opening weekend of $ 158 million worth of The black Knight. Dark Phoenix no such excuses. X Men movies have always been a big hit of movies (this will be five of the top 20 hits of the second weekend for a cartoon movie), but it's essentially a record for the genre.

The release of Fox / Disney is expected to bring in about $ 51.352 million by tomorrow night. At least, it will exceed the respective opening weekends of Wolverine ($ 53 million in 2013), X Men ($ 54 million in 2000) and X-Men: First class ($ 55 million in 2011). At this rate of descent, he will lose screens at the barrel on Friday Toy Story 4, A child's game and Anna Even though a $ 75 million national finish may be a dream for Simon Kinberg's film, budgeted at $ 200 million.

For reference, the last movie "Dark Phoenix", X-Men: The Final Clash, earned $ 77 million in the first two days of its national release. Given the budgetary differences, this will be a much greater loss for all parties than for The four fantastics, which earned $ 56 million in the domestic market and $ 167 million worldwide with a budget of $ 120 million. Even assuming a 30/70 split, a $ 75 million finish for Dark Phoenix would mean only $ 250 million worldwide, far less than the $ 299 million global consumption of the first X Men back in 2000.

I do not want to take on this one (it's better than X-Men: Apocalypse or X-Men Origins: Wolverine)But there is something vexing about watching the producers apparently making all the wrong decisions before being stunned by the result. They did a story that nobody really wanted to see redone, they gave us less fantasy and less frills, they focused on the men rather than the main character and they spent too much time to make a "different" not worth the best "end product. In a world where movie buffs are struggling to survive, the industry simply can not afford movies like Dark Phoenix.
