'Dark Phoenix' has worst opening in X- Men history at US Box Office

New Delhi, June 10, ANI: Falling short of expectations, Sophie Turner starrer 'Dark Phoenix' failed to catch fire at the box office. The latest installment in the Disney- Fox's 'X- Men' franchise, 'Dark Phoenix' just managed to reach a USD 34 Million opening in the weekend, after minting about USD 14 Million on Friday, making it the worst debut for an X- Men Movie. Dark Phoenix is written and directed by Simon Kinberg who also served as the scriptwriter for the 2006's 'X-Men: The Last Stand'. 'The Secret life of Pets 2' which is a sequel to the 2016 animated film, on the other hand, left the X- Men film behind by collecting USD 46.1 Million. However, the collection was 15 percent lower than the original flick.
