An X-Men Movie With A 22% RT Score Underperformed At The Box Office, But Still Earned More Than Five Times As Much As The Marvel Franchise's Biggest Bomb

The Fox X-Men franchise had some ups and downs, but one of the biggest discrepancies from its run occurred between X-Men: Dark Phoenix and The New Mutants. When Fox began releasing X-Men movies back in 2000, the studio found extraordinary success with their hit comic book movies. Beyond resonating with audiences and bringing in plenty of money, the films also introduced a handful of actors who became iconic in their roles, such as Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, and Patrick Stewart as Professor X.
