The film, which premiered Friday, had the lowest opening in X-Men history, bowing second to The Secret Life of Pets 2 at the domestic box office. The problem? Dark Phoenix wound up fumbling at the box office.
Dark Phoenix also puts Turner’s Grey more front and center, revolving around the telekinetic mutant as she becomes dangerously powerful and transforms into the titular Dark Phoenix. Joining the franchise looked like a smart move for the young actress: boarding this project meant going from one big ensemble series to another, and safely positioning herself in an iconic role (Jean Grey) in a beloved superhero saga. It’s her second in the series, following her debut as Jean Grey in 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse.

Game of Thrones was bigger than most movies.
