Illumination/Universal’s The Secret Life of Pets 2 may win over U.S./Canada this weekend with a projected $60M, but Disney/Fox’s Dark Phoenix is expected to take over the world with at least a $170M global day and date launch.
Here in U.S./Canada, Dark Phoenix eyeing $50M-$55M at 3,700 theaters, and pacing far behind the previous title 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse ($65.7M 3-day, $79.8M Memorial Day 4-day opening).
Current tracking for Dark Phoenix in China is between $50M-$60M, repping around 50% of the pic’s $120M overseas start. There’s a chance Dark Phoenix could rise to $135M abroad.
