Box Office Bombs That Drove Studios Out of Business
Dark Phoenix, 2019
‘Dark Phoenix’ was the final movie in the X-Men franchise that was supposed to wrap up the roller-coaster ride ever since the first movie in 2000. A finale should be legendary and keep us in suspense until the screen comes to a close with a satisfying ending.
Yet, this movie just fell flat and was uninteresting. Unlike most films that surprise fans when they become a flop, the ‘Dark Phoenix’ audience knew what was coming all along. It’s like Fox gave up on perfecting the ending, which reflects quite badly on the whole series. Despite the all-star cast, it grossed the lowest, which is sad when thinking that it’s the studio’s last independent production.
This is because ‘20th Century Fox’ was taken over by Disney. Now the production house has twice the capability to produce memorable movies and regain it’s previous authority. Let’s hope their next attempt gives ‘Avengers: End Game’ a run for their money.
