The number for Dark Phoenix looks sad, but Rocketman number is just horrible :(, was hoping it’s gonna pull some decent numbers from a musical-friendly country like SK.

Do you know if they put the Marvel logo at the beginning of DP? I just hope it won't bring damage to the shine of the Marvel brand in Korea. That country really loves their MCU movies. Ugh. This should have gone straight to streaming. I think Disney just reluctantly released it in theaters due to contractual obligation.

It always had the Marvel opening sequence even way back in 2000. Even tho it was owned by Fox it was still Marvel property

My thinking is that, now that Fox properties are owned by Disney, maybe they now have the freedom to remove the Marvel logo in front of their non-MCU movies to avoid casual audience confusion. But that's just what I think though.

Marvel is still a licensed brand, so MCU or not, any movies that adapted Marvel characters would have to carry the brand logo. They’re just not the Marvel Studios logo like with MCU movies, but rather the big standard red MARVEL one, sometimes with the words “in association with” attached to it

Yeah, I'm familiar with the big red MARVEL one. I'm just thinking of all those new casuals who suddenly watch the MCU movies because of the 2 last Avengers movies. They might not know that DP has nothing at all to do with the MCU.

Well, every franchise has it ups and downs, one bad movie (within MCU or not) won’t change overall perception much. 

 

With the amount of money and GA that Infinity War/Endgame brought in, there bounds to be people who knows nothing about MCU history, that whether or not DP is part of this film universe won’t matter in the end. I mean, I have a friend who watched and liked quite a few MCU movies, yet still asked me if Shazam is part of Marvel after watching it lol.

OD: 122,197 admits for Dark Phoenix. For comparison

X-men:Apocalypse OD - 296,066/  300,523  ( inflated by Culture day)

DOFP

Previews - 91,295

Thursday - 213,000

Friday - 279,147

Saturday - 593,896

Sunday - 578,511

Total - 4,313,871

Apocalypse OD was inflated, but an almost 60% drop in admissions is still plain bad.

Note that Logan and Days of Future Past had big previews of 99,025 admissions and 91,295 admissions before opening which is not included in the OD gross. 

 

Here are the OD of some other comparable SH movies

 

Justice League - 153,553

Aquaman - 145,383

Guardians of the Galaxy 1 - 121,886

Thor 2 - 114,775

Shazam - 86,809

 

Most of these movies went on to gross at least a million in their 5 day OW which is where Dark Phoenix should aim for. Most of these movies also went on to have a total admissions somewhere around 2m mark. If DP achieves that, it will be a good run imo considering its reviews. 

 

Overall out of the 37 MCU+DCEU+Xmen+Deadpool movies (since First Class), Dark Phoenix had the 31st lowest OD, only ahead of 6 movies. 

 

Coming to reviews, here are the naver ratings for Dark Phoenix and other SH movies. 

 

Movies - Audience/Netizen

 

Endgame - 9.50/9.39

Infinity War - 9.08/8.95

Deadpool 2 - 9.09/8.69

Ant Man 2 - 8.85/8.62

SMH - 8.83/8.37

DOFP - 8.76/8.88

Aquaman - 8.76/8.35

Dark Phoenix - 8.80/7.59

Deadpool 1 - 8.53/8.21

Black Panther - 8.33/7.49

Apocalypse - 8.24/8.20

Justice League - 7.90/7.73

Shazam - 7.77/5.88

 

So the ratings are not that bad, better than recent movies that failed like Godzilla 2 (8.13/7.22), Detective Pikachu (8.53/8.22). 

However, ratings on the CGV app is really really bad at 78% which is really low. So I dont know why there is such a discrepancy. 

 

Anyways I think its unlikely that Dark Phoenix will fail like Godzilla and Pikachu did recently, but its also not gonna touch the totals of any of the previous xmen movies (since First Class). It's likely gonna fall below 2m total admissions and if the bad reviews catch up with it then a sub 1.5m or perhaps even a sub 1.0m total is possible. Plus the competition from Parasite and Aladdin is too strong.
