"X-Men: Dark Phoenix" domestic box office exceeded 200 million and word of mouth was very popular

This morning (June 8), the X-Men movie official Weibo announced that the domestic box office of "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" has exceeded 200 million.

However, as of press time, "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" only scored 6.0 on Douban and is on a downward trajectory.

In overseas markets, Dark Phoenix grossed just $5 million in previews on Thursday night, on par with Rise of the Planet of the Apes and less than its predecessor X-Men: Apocalypse.

The overseas reputation is even worse, with a Rotten Tomatoes rating of only 23% and Metacritic also giving it a failing score of only 43 points.

The film stars Sophie Turner ("Three Idiots" in "Game of Thrones") as Jean Grey, and tells the story of her gradual transformation into Dark Phoenix. During a life-threatening space rescue, Jean is struck by a mysterious cosmic force and becomes the most powerful mutant. From then on, Jean Grey must not only try to control her growing and extremely unstable power, but also fight her own inner demons. Her loss of control causes the entire X-Men family to fall apart, and puts the entire planet under the threat of destruction.
