>Despite the arrival of two major films, this Memorial Day weekend was ultimately a disappointing affair, as X-Men: Apocalypse and Alice Through the Looking Glass both underperformed.
>X-Men: Apocalypse opened with $65 million, which sounds like a decent number until you put it in context. That is roughly half of the opening weekend gross for Fox’s other 2016 mutant-centric superhero movie, Deadpool, which opened to $132 million earlier this year (and cost significantly less to make). That opening is also less than the second weekend of Captain America: Civil War. If you really want some perspective, note that X2, X-Men: The Last Stand, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and X-Men: Days of Future past all had bigger openings.

Called it. JLaw is box office poison
Did they make Mystique a "good guy" simply because Jennifer Lawrence took over the role?
>>70178770
Apocalypse and Alice probably cannibalized each other's audience so they both underperformed
>>70178770
Or superhero fatigue.
>>70178770
I saw it at the theaters and it was pretty empty. I laughed out loud when Xavier was fistfighting Apocalypse in his mind.
>>70178963
Possibly? Wolverine fucked with the timeline in the previous movie by helping Xavier convince Mystique that she would ruin the world if she stayed evil.
>>70178770
Actually First Class opened to lower numbers with $55mil.
Also Apocalypse has already grossed $250mil. world wide.
>>70178770
So... Wolverine confirmed for Infinity War?
>>70178963
>>70178770
Azazel and Mystique have sex and Nightcrawler is their child.
Why isn't this addressed in the movies?
>>70179125
>Or superhero fatigue.
People keep saying this and yet superhero movies continue to make the most money, so I'm going to say no.
This atrocity of a downgrade might not have helped.
>>70179520
Avengers set the bar so high that every capeshit that doesnt meet it is seen as a disappointment
age of ultron grossed 100 million less than the first and people were still saying MARVEL BTFO CAPESHIT IS FINISHED
>>70179308
>Azazel and Mystique have sex and Nightcrawler is their child.
in the comics this is true, never brought up or even hinted at in the movies, not even X2
>>70178770
Saw it and the problem was that is just didn't offer anything new or interesting. It was okay but had a been there done that feel.
Also though a lot of time is focused on Apocalypse I don't feel we ever really know him or what he wants. Okay, he wants to rule the world after showing everyone who is boss. Then what and to what end?
The story felt generic and stale.
>>70179575
Well jesus how do you not downgrade from that goddess? Literally anyone else they could have cast would have been a downgrade.
>>70179715
Truth. Famke is a goddess.
Nobody gives a fuck about X men anymore.
Inevtiable reboot incoming so Fox can keep the rights incoming.
>>70179620
>Avengers set the bar so high that every capeshit that doesnt meet it is seen as a disappointment
People were saying "Superhero fatigue" before The Avengers. Nerds just don't like normies in their treehouse and actively want cape movies to start failing so they'll all just go away.

>>70178770
I guess the only Apocalypse here is Fox's box office returns.
>>70179636
Azazel is still alive yet DoFP kill him off.
It's annoying because Azazel was sexy in movies.
>giving us the same 3 mutants to be based around for like 5 movies
And why the fuck is mystique one of them, goddamn she's been played out since the end of 1
>>70179844
She is hot no doubt but she is a clear down grade. Though she would be less of one than Sansa Stark.
>>70179872
Cause he refused to gayfuck snyder.
Same with all mutants showed up ded in dofp.
Havok was clearly singer type i guess
I wish they never changed first class director both also dofp is one of my favorite movies . Im confused
>>70179575
To be fair she looks fine as fuck in the movie up until they don the suits. Even then she never looks fat but just has shitty hair that makes her look balding
I don't know the actress or watch GoT so you might notice differently
>>70179125
More like Fox and Singer X-Men fatigue. It can't hold up to Marvel or even DC.
>>70178770
This is great fucking news to be honest. It means were one step closer to them rebooting the series to actually try and get it right or for them to finally sell the rights or do a joint production like Spider-Man.
>>70179987
That makes sense but even the actor who plays Havok isn't that sexy.
Also why did they kill off Sebastian Shaw in First Class? He's still alive and plays a big role in the Phoenix Saga as being the Phoenix's love interest.
They done fucked up those movies man.
>>70179987
>dofp is one of my favorite movies . Im confused
because you have shit taste
>>70178770
People are just getting tired of capeshit. Deadpool was popular because it had a loyal fanbase, a different concept,women were willing to go see it, and had good release date
>>70180070
Singer doesnt care about sexiness though he looks for fuckbois and twinks.
Those are man like azazel, shaw etc
She's 51
God tier genes
>>70180148
But Kevin Bacon really is hideous tho.
No offense to him, I'm sure he's a really nice guy but by God did he fall from the ugly tree.
>>70178770
I'm just glad red pilled birds are still doing well
>>70180180
i want to mix my gene poll with her if you catch my drift
>>70179125
This doesnt exist overall but releasing them back to back in three months is certainly close. Its more like most people dont want to go to the movies that often and theyre all targeting the same audience.
>>70178770
Maybe because Deadpool didn't look like another lazy by the numbers capeshit with no soul. Singer is so bland as a director. His only real skill is taking things considered too expensive to film and doing it. Which would be fine if there was anything to it but fluff.
>>70180143
>people are tired of capeshit
when will this meme end?
there has been capeshit movies and tv shows literally every year since the medium was invented and the good ones still sell very well.
>>70180180
>those hands
eek
>>70180180
her hands and feet are showing signs of aging
>>70180143
>>70178770
People are tired of capeshit involving shitty young actors, mindless Roland Emmerich-esque action movie plots and visuals and extremely forced (and dated) political messages.
Capeshit can be any genre and style of film.
>>70180143
>People are just getting tired of capeshit.
Which is why Civil War made tons of money?
>>70180058
Sophie's just got thinner hair, which isn't her fault, but the severe pulled back look is unflattering. They kept the Sansa orange hair too. And the Sansa monotone. Oh well.
>>70179575
>>70179715
>>70179767
>>70180056
>>70180180
tfw Jean is literally NINE YEARS older than Cyclops. Aunty-tier I'd say
>Al this capeshit underperforming.
I know...I know I've let you down...
>>70180453
Being thin and wearing heels will do that. Dang I'm 20 years younger and will never hold a candle!
Oh yes - X-Men. *cough* Got sidetracked.
>>70180952
>all underperforming
Deadpool broke records
BvS did very well in the box office
Civil War did too
by "all" do you mean "one"?
>>70181065
BvS underperformed and made less total net profit than MoS
It also killed any hype for the DC universe
>>70181065
WB wanted a billion for BVS. We'll have to see how Suicide Squad and Professor Mysterious will do.
Shitty reviews and no huge act man. Replaced by Jlaw. What were they thinking?
>>70181258
>and no huge act man.
You didn't watch the movie
>>70181258
JLaw is barely in the movie.
>>70178770
Apocalypse was bad and nothing made sense. Don't know about the other one.
>>70182335
>JLaw is barely in the movie.
see >>70182292
>>70182395
I did, her role is drastically less than First Class and DoFP.
It was a good movie but didn't feel like the 80s at all.
>>70182395
Yea the ads and press exaggerate her role.
She's no more the lead than Xavier or Magneto
I don't see the issue with this movie, I really liked it.
>>70178770
everyone I know goes out of town on memorial day weekend.
Only niggers stay in town.
>>70182292
>Le cameo
>not even promoted
Kya
>>70182172
One of the greatest scenes in the movie desu
>>70183130
he's in the third trailer and the plot wouldn't work without his help.
>>70182830
How and why? Literally nothing about it makes sense. Magneto changes his mind about global genocide like it's coffee or something. And judging by the level of destruction he causes I'm pretty sure he killed millions of people. This creepy ancient asshole who constantly talks about how he's going to kill everyone somehow manages to recruit people with no objections or questions asked whatsoever.
Dude finds a random drunk moron, gives him metal wings and the moron is all like "welp, I guess genocide sounds cool". The black chick goes from petty theft to genocide for no reason. I get that people don't like mutants but global genocide doesn't seem like appropriate response.
And dear god the last half hour of the movie. Apparently Magneto can fuck up literally the entire planet now on his own but the plane that carries the other assholes is apparently totally unaffected. Everyone is just way too godlike.
Despite the massive visual effects I damn near fell asleep. It's just the latest installment of "a bunch of indestructible fight each other for a while"
Then there's that stupid asshole who runs fast. His whole character is defined by how he wants to get back together with his dad. Yet when he actually manages to find him he chickens out. Even though Magneto is literally ripping the planet apart and telling him you are his son would probably stop him.
Shit, this whole movie made me hate the mutants. Just a few of these assholes wake up cranky and suddenly the whole planet is in danger. Kinda makes you wish the dwarf asshole succeeded in the last movie
>>70183537
I don't see him on any posters or late night shows bub
>capeshit will go out the way it came in, with the Xmen
cool
So does that mean they will actually focus on McAvoy and Fassbender next time?
Also this ones trailers were shite
>>70180180
Cryptkeeper hands and feet though
>>70183615
keep thinking that buddy
>>70178770
We all seen her nude so no one cares about her mystique
>>70179095
Johnny Depp wife beating scandal will stop his mostly female fans watching Alice.
>>70183997
I don't think you understand. They're happier because it gives them a slight chance of getting it on with Depp. It's better than 0.
