MEH-MORIAL DAY WEEKEND BOX OFFICE | Abandon all hope, the box office is dead. 3 day weekend #s X-Men 65M, Alice 28.1M, Angry Birds 18.7M, Civil War 15.1M, Neighbors 9.1M. Bad openings, horrible holdovers.

Turns out it was a lot more frontloaded then I expected. A similar preview number to DOFP, made me think it was at least going to do maybe 80m 3-day. I guess not.

looks like Alice 2 and Apocalypse combined will do about 10m more than DOFP 4-day

38-41 + 80-83 = 118-124 (compared to 110.6)

X-men had been going on for 16 years. They have made like 9 movies. Being the 4th superhero movie in 4 months didn't help ethier

 

If there had never been an Xmen film before ever and this year the first xmen film ever came out it would probably be massive. But hey, that's not the case.

 

The fanbase isn't gonna grow

 

 

Which is why we're hearing about significant changes in future X-movies, with Wolverine 3 being his final one, New Mutants introducing a bunch of new mutants (and them actually being given the chance to star in a movie, as opposed to just playing bit roles next to the regular cast), and X-Force likely putting Deadpool in a team situation.

Also I feel bad for Mia. She can't seem to get a hit. She's not a bad actress. 

 

The first and only thing many people saw her in was Alice 1. 

 

I dont know about the girl's ability but she played one of the dullest characters I've seen in a movie.

Does anybody really give a fuck about New Mutants though? If I were Fox I would cut my losses and focus on X-Force.

Nobody among the GA knows what a Wakoskawia is or its purpose in the world.

This is the end of the X-Men franchise. They can't do another sequel with this cast. Time for a reboot in 8 years (Wolverine 3 happening is a good thing since it will give them more time to plan the reboot).

[CJohn]

Alice 2 might not do 40M over the 4 day weekend. Again, that is below the OD of the first movie. Let that sink in. This is the end of Depp's career.

[grey ghost]

So we know 200 m DOM is dead for Apocalypse.

 

Is 150 m dead also?

End of the current X-Men and the end of Johnny Depp?

My, it feels good to be a fanboy of a franchise that just started...

[grey ghost]

Singer lost his mojo.

 

Let Tim Miller become the creative head of the X-men universe.

 

Try fun, imaginative and accurate X-men movies for a change.

 

Audiences have grown tired of the Singer formula.

 

Dark Phoenix is one of the greatest comic stories and hardly anyone anticipates Singer's version.

It could be argued that Depp's career was already almost dead. Then the latest controversy kill and buried it completely.

Agreed.

 

Visionary Tim Miller is what Hollywood needs right now.

 

 

[Ethan Hunt]

I think everyone jumping ship on Singer is a bit premature

[grey ghost]

Did X-men and Alice cannibalize each other?

 

I mean, the bad reviews didn't help but releasing them the same day? Suicide.

[Blackout]

wonder what plans Fox has in terms of the main X-Men team. X4 back on the table?

June 10th looks like a bloodbath.

[TimmyRiggins]

Ridiculous indeed, what's funny is seeing naysayers calling for Singer's head just because they read some reviews and go along with it, without having seen the movie. Let's not forget he gave us X-Men 2 and DOFP, so now, he slips up a little according to some with Apocalypse and he needs to be removed? Geez. 

[MarvelandDC]

Bryan Singer is a good director, but however he seems to have something against the source material when it comes to CBM.

 

Tim Miller should direct X-force, while Matthew Vaughan should direct the new mutants movie.
