The Fox era of X-Men comes to a lackluster end after almost 20 years as Dark Phoenix is a boring, lifeless rehash of prior X-Men movie plots and character motivations.

Another weekend of underperformance as Secret Life of Pets 2, despite taking the top spot, was nowhere near the opening of its predecessor while Dark Phoenix ended the Fox X-Men franchise with its lowest opening ever.

The X-Men franchise comes to an underwhelming finale (according to critics) with Dark Phoenix this weekend while Secret Life of Pets 2 and Late Night also arrive in theaters.
