Dark Phoenix ready to end a box office bomb more fantastic than four fantastic

Dark Phoenix was a bust for Marvel X Men. Well, all know it. I'm not a fan of the race, but since Fox / Marvel The four fantastics faced with a lot of schadenfreude when he flopped in 2015, it should be noted that Dark Phoenix drew his own answer "hold my beer".

The box office this weekend is all about Spider-Man: far from home, with eyes on Avengers: End of the gameworld taken against Avatarand curiosity for Middle, Toy Story 4 in his second weekend, etc.

Dark Phoenixon the other hand is about to finish his run. He has played this weekend in 426 national theaters and will soon be eliminated. Since Dark PhoenixThe overseas release of this film is also coming to an end, the superhero movie should finish with just over $ 250 million worldwide.

This may seem quite important, and it would be the case for most movies. But with an announced budget of $ 200 million, it's not good. As Forbes says, earning less than 1.39 times his budget, Dark Phoenix is about to be a bigger bomb at the box office than even the unfortunate The four fantastics, which generated $ 167.9 million from an announced budget of $ 120 million in 2015.

As The four fantastics, Dark Phoenix makes most of his money at the international box office. It's pretty standard for big movies these days. The four fantastics $ 56.1 million at the national box office, by Box Office Mojo, and $ 111.8 million in foreign markets.

Dark Phoenix overall has higher numbers, but – again – it costs a lot more, so it's more of a loss. Dark Phoenix reported just under $ 65 million at the national box office and about $ 182 million overseas so far, for a current total of about $ 246 million. It is not yet completely out of theaters, so there is still money to be won, but it will not be much.

Dark Phoenix Director Simon Kinberg took responsibility for the failure of the film. the X Men The film had a lot of problems along the way, and ended up getting better. But the fans were relatively nice, giving him a 64% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes (vs. 23% critics) and a B-CinemaScore of viewers surveyed.

The four fantastics, on the other hand, got a C-CinemaScore, an audience rating of 18% and a really sad 9% rating from critics.

So, by this metric, The four fantastics is always the biggest bomb.

Sometimes even superhero movies do not work. It happens. Keep up to date with all that's left in 2019 with our movie release schedule.
