X-Men Apocalypse will flop.

The cinema I work at has had midnight screenings for most capeshit films this year. Batman v Superman sold about 220 / 330 tickets.
Civil War sold about 280 / 330.
And you know what this trash has sold?

16 / 330.

X-Men is over.

They'll just reinvent the series Deadpool-style.

The trailer is lame to be honest. Anyway it cannot possibly be worse than 3 or Origin.

fuck off, OP is right
In my theather we sold 6 tickets. 2 of which are from my collegues.
>>
>57% RT score
yeah, it's going to be BvS tier
>>
good, I hope they finally bury this franchise, x-1 and 2 were the only decent ones. First Class doesn't even count since its technically the first part in the J-Law thrilogy.
And they f'd that up with Days of Future Past. I hope this tanks so hard that they have to go the Spiderman route.

That's the only time plebs leave their house.

I just feel bad for olivia munn and jubilee.

They're cute.

It probably wouldn't flop this hard if Hugh Jackedman was in it
>>
>>69636343
the only reason to watch is for that qt Jubilee. Most of the casting choices are garbage otherwise
>>
>>69638668
We're honestly debating closing the midnight session and refunding the tickets. It'll cost more to pay the staff than the money we'll make off snacks.
>>
>>69638693
they've tried to sucker people in with that last trailer, Hugh is the only chance they had

Even plebs don't want to watch capeshit every 2 weeks or so. There was so much of it this year already. I'm not surprised/
>>
>>69638840
Yes it is absolutely baffling. I agree they should have continuted with their new continuity however they were put in a position where the only way to continute with the old actors or new actors was to reset the continuity because its an absolutely helpless clusterfuck of a mess. They had no choice.
>>
>>69639052
this .
they should clearly move this to july or june at earliest

fox is faggot . they probably have no idea why deadpool made so money as well

Not too much of it in a year but too much of it within the span of three months. It needs to be spaced out throughout the year, most people dont even go to the movies three times in three months.

>hurr durr disney pays critics
Reminder that even Based Armond hates this flick:
>And yet again are we treated to the same tired, patronizing metaphors. Mutants are people of color, mutants are queer. Any potential poignance in these blunt messages is obliterated by dizzying, rote CGI sequences that while trying to impress more often than not make you want a nap.

>[...] Where the criminally and suspiciously underrated Batman v Superman respected its audience, asked of them, this movie asks only for your dollars, gives little in return.
>>
>>69639181
I feel the same way about Batman v Superman but the metaphors are different. So its fitting that he then tries to praise it, he is insane. I dont know if people seriously respect his opinions or if its a meme but you sure as shit shouldn't. He is like a "capekino" poster embodied as an actual human.
>>
>>69638726
You probably do that a lot in whatever crap hole city you're in if you couldn't pack BVS

i honestly didnt enjoy any of these big blockbusters superhero shit these year

this was shit as well

they realised there are too many fucking BLUE guys in that flick, so it's reasonable that JeLaw is pictured as human form.

still, there are even more fucking blue guys come in it with Apocalypse and Archangel

When wolverine returned to the present in DOFP we saw everything was a-okay and everyone was alive, so how much damage can Apocalypse do?

None at all?

>>69639866
yea, over twenty years later. He could have literally destroyed the mansion and killed half the cast and in that one minute of present day footage it would still look ok. Its a long time.

this qt summarizes so great the x-men story archs, that you would think if they put those on bigscreen nothing can go wrong

You know it's true
>>
>>69639654
X-Men 1 was terrible, but was well received for not being anywhere near as bad as Batman and Robin.

X-Men 2 was good because this time Singer actually bothered to read the comics and adapted one of the best stories

DOFP was good because it rode off the success of First Class

and now this time Singer isn't adapting a story. He's just making a generic X-Men v. Apocalypse story just like X-Men 1 was a generic X-Men v. Magneto story and it'll be as bad as the first X-Men
