Fatigue of what? The x-men franchise?

 

Apocalypse without a doubt deserved more. It would have grossed better if it was released on June or July.

 

It would not have made a huge difference.

This year's turning out to be the opposite of 2013! Hahahahaha. Fantastic spring and awful summer season. This may is the first may since 2010 not hitting the billion mark. December might be good though.

DOFP is an overrated mess that ruined the chances of a true reboot in pursuit of a quick buck and was still a fart in the wind as far as box office goes .

 

Such a tired franchise, stuck in the early 00' with its leather suits, pretentious crappy dialogue and story . Add to that the twilight quality "acting" of apocalypse and you get a trainwreck . 

[Avatree]

What the hell happened with all the numbers.

See, Deadline gets it "Apocalypse’ & ‘Alice’ Take A Dive On Saturday As Memorial Day B.O. Bloodbath Continues"

DOFP was a really good movie, surpassing everything i've seen from Marvel.

X-Men 64M? Damn, that's awful. And Alice with 27M is just comical.

The Last Stand + inflation would have made over 130M. Hope fanboys will blame Ratner for this BO failure.

It's funny to see Apocalypse get shit on by critics when the writing and action was just as terrible and cheap in DoFP, which they gave a pass to. Guess the honeymoon period for Singer's return to the franchise was short lived.

X-Men is dead. Alice is beyond dead. Civil War might indeed end below Iron Man 3 which is fucking hysterical. Angry Birds will need to get Puerto Ricod into the 100M or it will fail to reach the mark.

 

Terrible weekend. Save Us TMNT2! Save Us BAY!

Please, don't.

 

Emmerich will do that.

TMNT2 will be lucky to open with 50+.

All superhero movies rely on tropes and material we have seen before. Yep...even the allegedly groundbreaking Deadpool.

 

Plot-wise, Deadpool was really old hat indeed. For being so "meta" they really embrace the "hot girl digs ugly and damaged dude because love trumps everything" trope to the very end.

 

All in all I didn't think it was ground-breaking at all, just really funny. Which is enough, really.

To me, IM first movie is superior to any CBM ever made by FOX.  

 

Storywise, acting wise, dialogue wise, character devlopment wise, journey wise, as an original true self contained origin movie whose existence isn't a pretence to correct other previous entries.  

 

It's just a great all around movie before even being a great CBM and is one of the underrated ones that got overshadowed by the great TDK which was released so close to it.

Deadpool is a gimmick that will get old fast. Fox would be wise not to bet all their eggs on him.
