Box Office: Why Does Disney Root for 'X-Men: Dark Phoenix'?

[ad_1]
<div _ngcontent-c15 = "" innerhtml = "

20th Century Fox has once again played a great game of musical chairs with release date and wreaks havoc throughout the calendar. Fox has delayed the big budget Alita: Battle Angel from 21 December 2018 to 14 February 2019. And so, because of this change of date (which is very logical), they moved the Dark Phoenix from February 14, 2019 to June 7, 2019. Oh, and they have now moved Gambit from June 7, 2019 to March 13, March 30 Smark. All right, they moved the so-called romantic comedy Channing Tatum (as Kinberg claims) to March 13, 2020, but who are we laughing at?

The other strange news, which is intentionally cryptic at the moment, is an untitled title. dead Pool A film of December 21, 2018. There was speculation about the release of one of the first two dead Pool films, but honestly, your hypothesis is as good as mine. It's funny, there was a time when 2018 was supposed to be a great year for X Men franchise. We were supposed to have The new mutants April 13 Deadpool 2 sure June 2 May 18 and then Dark Phoenix November 2nd. But now Dark Phoenix will open on June 7th of next year while The new mutants is still scheduled for August 2, 2019 as a result of allegations of movie reshuffle.

Dark Phoenix can be a kind of final of the 18.5 year old series X Men before the agreement with Disney, which would bring together these characters under the aegis of Kevin Feige's Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film was riddled with rumors of reboot and rework, and frankly, this first trailer hardly alleviated worries. But I keep away from the subject, the film will now open alongside The secret life of animals 2 (a sequel to a movie that marked a first weekend of $ 104 million) and a week before the bustling Sony Men in black to restart. And this is no longer the reference film for the month of February.

the X Men The franchise, especially classic ensemble films, is at a crossroads. What are the stakes for Dark Phoenix is nothing less than the future of the franchise as it currently exists. With the first X Men Opened in the summer of 2000, this seventh 18.5-year-old team film makes it the second-longest ongoing franchise, which has never been explicitly reset and has not taken any kind of extended sabbatical. Save for Tom Cruise, age 22 Impossible mission series, which to be fair took four to six year breaks between payments up to Fall (only three years later Rogue Nation), Fox's X Men the franchise is trying to become the Gunsmoke franchises of modern superheroes.

X Men can suffer the same fate as the original recipe Law and order. Yes, we know that Kevin Feige intends to use the X-Men properties as part of the MCU. Bob Iger is right to say that Disney does not really have two Marvel universes. This does not mean that this specific version of X Men saga can not join the MCU. There is some value to keeping the old cast as opposed to new arbitrary versions of these characters, but this only applies if Dark Phoenix shows that people want to see these versions of X Men characters.

Yes the X Men late news is interesting. But, I think it had less to do with the first slamming and disappointing first trailer than with the notion that the film directed by Robert Rodriguez and produced by James Cameron Alita: Battle Angel was going to clobber openness against Aquaman, bumblebee, Return of Mary Poppins and Holmes and Watson. And, if you'll allow me, I'd say that Walt Disney would prefer that a big-budget film from Fox not get shot down by a Disney title while this big-budget movie could spawn a new franchise that will then belong to Disney once the merger done. through.

From Disney's point of view, it's much more important than Return of Mary Poppins (obviously) and Alita: Battle Angel (theoretically) are big hits against Dark Phoenix or New mutants. If the sci-fi movie hits hard, House Mouse has a new toy to play with Avatar and Fox's bias properties. Yes Dark Phoenix tanks, so Disney can just let Kevin Feige restart the X-Men. I would say that it is in the long term interest of Disney for Dark Phoenix and New mutants show that the old franchise needs a new coat of paint rather than deciding between maintaining a successful release and restarting.

That does not mean Angel of battle will prosper in February, as (for example) The ancestry of Jupiter can you remember He's more likely to fight than not to open against a DC Films movie, a Transformers prequel, a Spider-Man toon and a bunch of Oscar-winning contenders. There are still too many films to open on December 14th and 21st (and too few to open on December 7th), but at least it is a less disturbing event. I would argue that Shazam should move to February (out of the way of Dumbo and Dr. Dolittle) but opening between LEGO Movie 2 and How to train your dragon 3 it's not better.

Glass is now the only "event film" of January, while LEGO Movie 2 and How to train your dragon 3 open in the weeks of each other. Idem Shazam and Hellboy. Oh and Shazam is always stuck between a bunch of children's movies and Dark Phoenix is now one of the few great movies in June 2019. And the big story, I would say, is that Fox has shown his priorities. Just like when Lionsgate threw Divergent 4 until June 9, 2017 and gave Power Rangers At the end of March, Fox gives priority to a potential new franchise over a run in the home stretch.

the X Men the franchise refused to evolve, and now it can be grazed before judgment.
