X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX Suffers Biggest Ever Second-Week Drop For A Big-Budget Superhero Movie

At this point it kind of feels like we're kicking this movie when it's down, but on top of a disastrous opening weekend, Dark Phoenix has now suffered one of the biggest second-week drop in CBM history...

A certain The Simpsons GIF springs instantly to mind.

The box office numbers for Dark Phoenix's second weekend on general release are in, and things seem to be going from bad to worse for 20th Century Fox's final X-Men movie.

According to Forbes, the Simon Kinberg-directed superhero adventure took in just $2.348 million on Friday, which is down a massive 83.2% from its opening day earnings of $14 million. Up until now, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice held the record for the biggest week 1 to week 2 dip for a big-budget superhero movie with -81%.

This is just the latest blow for the film, which was pretty much torn apart by critics and made just $33 million domestically over the course of its first weekend on release - a record low for the franchise.

Tell us, have you been to see Dark Phoenix? If so, do you think it's as bad as the reviews made out? Drop us a comment down below.

Hopefully this Scares any Sony execs that try to circumvent the MCU to do their own thing. Hell, Maybe they’ll make their next venom movie more comic accurate with a solid director.

@DENNISsystem - Venom was a huge success though?!

@DENNISsystem - Venom 2 is being written by Kelly Marcel, who did rewrites on Venom 2 but whose Saving Mr. Banks screenplay was pretty good - if a bit too saccharine. Definitely better than the two guys who did the bulk of Venom's writing, the guys behind Dark Tower 2017.
There's still no director attached which is weird, so I don't know if it'll make its October 2020 date.

@Kyos - Could have been better. Both numbers wise and quality wise

@DENNISsystem - I don't see how a Venom movie could have done more than $850m+ worldwide

Well deserved imo. I saw it and thought it was horrible. All Kinberg had to do was adapt this story from the comics but he wanted to do his own thing.
