The new xmen movies are just so ignorable. I don't know how much nostalgia is to blame but the previous set were actually exciting. Xmen origins were the only ones that were 50/50.Yeah, and this one coupled with the terrible reviews means people just don't care. Its looking at an OW of $35m, previous lowest for the X-men franchise was Wolverine's $53m in 2013. Its a similar story everywhere else in the world.
New ones just feel like young adult genre flicks.

Secret Life of Pets 2 is also really bad compared to its predecessor. That had an $104m OW and SLOP2 is estimated at $47m. First film made $875m worldwide and sequel will be lucky to reach half that it seems.
All of these films flopping mean Toy Story 4 could be in for a monster opening in 2 weeks with little competition. Crazy how pretty much the only big films this year are going to be Disney + MCU Spider-Man. Captain Marvel, Endgame, Aladdin, Star Wars, Frozen, Toy Story, The Lion King all ~$900M+ and I don't see many other candidates for reaching that number this year. Spidey will for sure, but of course that's still affiliated with Disney. Hobbs and Shaw maybe, Jumanji sequel and Joker have a shot too I guess.
