Why would they crossover with terrible characters from critical and commercial flop?
Sony changed their mind because of extreme circumstances though. Unless you would like to pay North Korea to hack Fox?

A cross over wouldn't draw anyone.
To open this low shows complete non interest in the characters or universe. If anything putting F4 in X-Men could hurt the franchise.
Fox will probably either keep the rights as long as possible out of spite for Marvel or sell them off at this point

At first Cruise was like:
"F4? Pssshhhhhhhhhh I got this."
Then he was like:

If they lose all four of those actors, X-men won't be in a much better place than F4. You're biggest draw at that point is Channing Tatum as Gambit? Yeah, no.

Its a Fox production.

He knows.
It's still based on a Marvel property. The point is that since Avengers, there hasn't been a film based on characters from either of the big two that has done this badly.

Sony didn't sit down and negotiate because they got hacked, they say down because ASM 2 underperformed by about $250 million and their cinematic universe was a non starter with its toxic WOM.
Xavier and Magneto can be recast, they have been once already. Plus there are literally dozens of Xmen you can tell interesting stories about that aren't Wolverine. The franchise is fine.

The guys at Fox are out of options now. The film bombed critically and financially, there won't be a crossover to save the brand, the previous films were critical duds and rebooting again will lose them more money. I really wonder what they'll decide to do.
I was close to finishing primary school, but I redeemed myself with the midnight launch of the last Harry Potter book.

No, it is, you just thought it wasn't.
I mean, you really think the guy who pretty much holds down the box-office discussions here week in and week out was confused as to what studio made the movie?
Would this even work though? The characters themselves, even when written very well in their own comics, recently went pretty much ignored by that audience. Fox could be like "Look - we're finally making that period-piece early '60s FF movie that everyone wants" and I'm not sure anyone would still show up at this point. "Fantastic Four" just might not engender any real excitement among general audiences, period.

You know, The Incredibles are more likely to be included in the MCU as the replacement for the Fantastic Four if this keeps up. Would be interesting, somehow.

Well, at least Incredibles was good. We'll always have that.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
I'm a little sad F4 didn't work out. I would've been there day one if it was just as cheesy as the older movies. But the second they said it was going to grounded my hopes were gone.
MI RN deserves that success though. Cruise never fails.

Welcome to 2015 guys, the same reason why Die Hard 5 bombed and why Future Past got more money than First Class.
NOTHING STOPS THE CRUISE MISSILE
Dem Ants keep chugging, already passed 300 million internationally.
Scott/Hope duo film in 2019 please!
And holy shit, DBZ making cash for just a limited time, bravo guys.
Nice to see The Gift getting a profit, once again, Blumhouse makes crap but then, when they make good films, they are memorable.

Yep. One of my favourite films.
Yup. Not counting Ant-Man's unfinished run, we haven't had a Marvel/DC superhero film from Fox, Sony, Disney, or WB fail to hit $400M worldwide since the Avengers launched.
Considering the near worldwide launch this weekend, Fantastic Four is going to limp to $200M without a Chinese release (nothing scheduled yet)
Great film but it is a FF film only in the most superficial of terms.

True that, but it's an acceptable substitute for now.
Even if that was true the young X-men cast in Apocalypse is more than enough to retool the franchise without introducing the toxic FF 2015 crew into a crossover.

John Dunbar
correct about everything
if we were really lucky a sizable chuck of people would think fantastic four was an actual marvel movie and this would help taint their brand a bit, but people are always informed about the wrong things.
what are you talking about?

Sure sucks when people like something amirite
But rather than being featured cameos they'll just be milling about in the background serving drinks or parking cars.
I can just see a date scene in a restaurant where Miles Teller saunters up to the table asks Tatum's Gambit if he'd like some black pepper?
Trank's Tweet just gave the whole story a tabloid angle which perfectly 'weaponised' the toxic word of mouth going into the weekend.

Dialogue-free stop-motion animation isn't going to get people into the cinema, unfortunately.
Shaun is one of the best kids movies in years and years, and very few kids

When I saw those numbers, I thought it was just in limited release.
Oh how I wish that was just in limited release.
Granted, I've not seen anything about the movie in ads. Does anyone even know it exists in the US?

I saw The Gift last night and it was excellent. Packed house too!
Power Rangers reboot of course.
I'd watch this Power Rangers movie. X-Men on the other hand...yeah I'll still be seeing it.
I still lul'd.

Who cares about the Japanese characterization I noticed anime is so dull now when they try to be super serious faithful. Friezas old voice s iconic
Singer deserves the benefit of the doubt. All of the 3 X-Men movies he has directed are varying degrees of good. It doesn't hurt his X2 still remains the far and away best Marvel super hero film.
Limited release
TIP: Destroyed by the reviews or box office fits more but perfect.
