“Godzilla: King of the Monsters” was a big-budget disappointment at the box office last weekend, and its sales fell sharply this weekend: The Legendary Entertainment popcorn movie landed in fourth place with $15.5 million.

3 spot, with $24.5 million in ticket sales, according to Comscore, which compiles box office data. Now in its third weekend, the remake landed in the No. Then again, critics weren’t particularly taken with Disney’s new “Aladdin,” either, but that movie continues to do well at the box office. (Second lowest? The 2009 entry, “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” with 37 percent.) “Dark Phoenix” currently holds a 22 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the lowest of any “X-Men” movie. The new movie is led by the “Game of Thrones” star Sophie Turner, who plays the titular superhero opposite Jessica Chastain’s alien villain. The studio says that “Dark Phoenix” brought in an additional $107 million overseas this weekend. But not for an “X-Men” movie that reportedly cost $200 million to make.īy comparison, “X-Men: Apocalypse,” with a reported budget of $178 million, opened to $65.8 million in ticket sales in 2016, without adjustment for inflation. For some movies, that would be a great figure. In a fairly distant second place was “Dark Phoenix,” which sold $33 million in tickets domestically this weekend. Unenthusiastic reviews (the movie currently holds a 54 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes) and competition in the family-friendly category - particularly from “Aladdin” - presumably contributed to the disappointing figures. Patton Oswalt voices the central character, Max, a Jack Russell terrier portrayed in the original by Louis C.K., who fell from favor after revelations of sexual misconduct. The sequel brings back many of the characters from the original, including a tabby cat voiced by Bell and a rabbit voiced by Hart. While “The Secret Life of Pets 2” wasn’t expected to reach those high figures, it was expected to get closer to the mid-50-million-dollar range.
