]]>Unfortunately, not every filmmaker’s dreams came true in 2019. Here are the year’s biggest flops and our guess as to why things went so wrong.
With a production budget of $100 million and an all-star cast, director Tom Hooper was hoping to hit the jackpot with his adaptation of the popular musical, Cats. Unfortunately, the movie took in shy of $11 million, making it one of the biggest flops of the year.
Why It Flopped: Cats was doomed to flop the moment the first trailer started trending on social media for all the wrong reasons. The CGI human-cat-hybrids may have looked impressive, but they gave people the creeps. It’s no wonder hardly anyone went to see the movie.
Sophie Turner’s debut in the X-Men universe did not pull in the viewers the producers had hoped. The film pulled in just $252 million at the box office, resulting in an estimated loss of $120 million.
Why It Flopped: 2019 was the year of Marvel. After Avengers: Endgame and Captain Marvel, viewers had superhero fatigue. The summer release of the film was just poor timing. Coupled with the fact the film got bad reviews, there just wasn’t enough incentive for fans to go and see the movie.
The Charlie’s Angels reboot pulled in just $57 million at the box office. The feminist reboot was meant to rewrite the story in a way that was empowering for women, but people didn’t bite.
Why It Flopped: Elizabeth Banks’ efforts at a feminist reboot were admirable, but the truth is, Charlie’s Angels is a story that just doesn’t work in 2019/20. The film was created as a male fantasy and when Banks tried to adapt it for a new generation, we discovered that the story itself just isn’t that interesting. And so it flopped.

]]>The latest release in the X-Men franchise may have had a heavyweight like Sophie Turner as its headliner, but the film failed to please critics and audiences, raking in only $33 million during its opening weekend.
While the box office results have been a disappointment to producers of the Marvel-Disney collaboration, director Simon Kinberg is acknowledging its faults.
The feature marked Kinberg’s directorial debut, and he also wrote the screenplay, though the entire third act was changed following poor test screenings.
“It clearly is a movie that didn’t connect with audiences that didn’t see it, it didn’t connect enough with audiences that did see it. So that’s on me,” the filmmaker told KCRW’s The Business.
However, Kinberg still enjoyed the process of making the movie, which also stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, and Jessica Chastain.
“I loved making the movie, and I loved the people I made the movie with,” he said.
Kinberg’s next directing venture will be 355, where he will again team up with Chastain.

]]>Fans of the X-Men movies seemed delighted by the decision to reintroduce the Phoenix to the franchise. Fans of Game of Thrones were equally delighted to learn that Sophie Turner (i.e. Sansa Stark) would be reprising the role of Jean Gray.
Although the hype for the feature was considerable, the movie has fallen short of expectations. The film is predicted to collect just $34 million at its opening weekend in the box office. For a little comparison, X-Men: The Last Stand grossed $234,362,462 at the box office in total and Deadpool earned an impressive $363,070,709.
The poor opening places Dark Phoenix at the bottom of the ranking for opening weekends in the X-Men franchise. As it stands, the film is rated 20% on Rotten Tomatoes and it looks like the $200 million budget the film had is not going to be met by international audiences either.
Still, if you want to give the movie a shot anyway, it is in cinemas now.

]]>In 2006, the X-Men universe introduced Jean Grey as the Phoenix (Famke Janssen). The movie may have made several mistakes when it comes to the notoriously wavy X-Men timeline, but this is not the thing that Kinberg regrets about the feature.
“I really felt that one of the mistakes we made with X-Men 3, which told in a way the Dark Phoenix story but it was the subplot of that film, one of the mistakes we made was that we didn’t go cosmic with it, like the comics,” Kinberg told Digital Spy.
“I think that was a time in superhero movies where that just wasn’t being done, and now we live in a time with Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor: Ragnarok and so many comic book movies are interstellar and cosmic that we felt like this was an opportunity to do our version of that.”
Hopefully, this means a more exciting and cosmic Dark Phoenix, which will be released June 6.

]]>The movie centers on “The Dark Phoenix Saga” storyline from the comics during which Jean Grey (Sophie Turner) assumes the power of Phoenix Force and transforms into her alias Dark Phoenix. After the first trailer showed Grey turning into a loner and getting in conflict with the rest of the X-Men, the second one gives more insight into her transformation while showcasing her frightening new powers.
Newly-released footage also seems to reveal some major spoilers, revealing who kills Mystiques and the ones responsible for corrupting Jean Grey and making her turn rouge.
Check out the trailer below.
Dark Phoenix is scheduled for release on June 7, 2019, and will see Simon Kinberg, who served as X-Men: Apocalypse writer and producer, making his directorial debut. The majority of the cast from the previous movie will make a return including Turner, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, and Nicholas Hoult.

]]>The reason is that the studio will be moving forward Bohemian Rhapsody, the Freddie Mercury biopic starring Rami Malek, best known for his role in Mr Robot. The biopic was previously scheduled for December 25th but will now debut on November 2nd.
Dexter Fletcher is directing Bohemian Rhapsody after Bryan Singer was fired from the show for three days of repeated absences which halted production. This firing isn’t the only setback that the movie has faced. Sacha Baron Cohen quit the project over disputes with Bryan May and Roger Taylor from Queen, hence why Malek took over.
The two Marvel spin-offs were actually originally scheduled to launch this year in April and November. The New Mutants has now been pushed all the way back to August 2nd 2019. The film is being directed by Josh Boone and stars a whole new set of young mutants.
Dark Phoenix has also been pushed back to 2019, but earlier in the year on Valentines Day. The movie will revolve around Jean Grey and Phoenix and will star James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence among other popular names from the X-Men franchise.
