X-Men: Dark Phoenix film

[Divine Spark]

Fox is now a part of Disney and lots of people have been laid off. In fact that was a reason for Fox executives not to market Dark Phoenix. They knew they would be fired and of course the merger is another reason why the film could not be a two parter.

Yeah, I think Kinberg mentioned people on the marketing leaving before they would be laid off.

Fox had not decided on which company to sell the studio when they axed the two parter.

It’s nice to see this movie get some love.

Well she won't be. MCU x-men will be fresh take

I remember Chris Hemsworth and Sebastian Stan asking Hugh Jackman to come back as Wolverine. Now after some recent news, I think they were serious.

Anyone know the current movie numbers?

Anyone know the current movie numbers?

Close to 245 Million Worldwide https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies...xmarvel18b.htm

Given the budget and then Marketing this film lost a lot of money probably in the 100 million neighborhood.

Speaking of Box Office Fox moved this to June to save Alita from bombing in December and knew that putting Dark Phoenix in that date was a disaster waiting to happen. They attempted to cover it up.



I think this is what John Campea meant when he said they didn’t know what to do with the movie and that it was a disaster waiting to happen.

Fox straight up abandoned movie. I got to respect Disney and Marvel for trying to marketing it when they didn’t really have it. Kinberg seems to have a good relationship with them.

Yes, I always thought the moving of the original date was a disaster move, months before they did it.

Most people at the theatres were unaware who/"what" is Dark Phoenix. I know most of the people I spoke to waiting in line had no idea.

Just watched this video from special features of X-Men: Apocalypse.

Makes me wonder when Xavier altered her memories.

This is a test scene. To test the actors chemistry. This was never supposed to be part of a movie. This is just their own random backstory for the Jean character they were going to use to see how Sophie could navigate the dialog and emotions, and how Tye would look on screen with her. It does show they were already ignoring the Annie Richardson origin even pre-Apocalypse.

I’ve been hearing about that a lot lately. I came across two people on Twitter who didn’t know there was a new X-Men movie until 3 weeks after it hit theaters...

There's a case to be made that Deadpool 2 was the most X-Men a movie has been since X-2.

It's true--it may even be the most X-Men movie.

I don’t know understand why they didn’t call the movie “X-Men: Phoenix”. Calling it Dark Phoenix is misleading since never actually becomes evil in this movie.

I find it absolutely ridiculous to believe such a thing was possible...

but then when we asked for a ticket to X-Men the guy at the counter gave us tickets for Avengers Endgame and was genuinely confused when we had to exchange them for Phoenix...

mind blown....

Here is what Chris Claremont would have done post-DOFP. No more prequels.

My understanding was that dropping the "X-Men" part was to signal that this was Jean's movie, not a team movie (e.g. like how Civil War was titled as part of the Captain America series even through it could've easily been called an Avengers movie and no one would've raised an eyebrow). As for calling it "Dark Phoenix," well, it does indicate which story it's adapting and Jean does go evil; she's just able to pull herself back before she's completely lost.

There were no prequels after Days of Future Past; just sequels.
