The latest X-Men film Dark Phoenix is being removed from over 1,600 theaters. The movie came out two weeks ago and has only made $208 million worldwide on a $200 million budget.
The decision was likely in reaction to the 83% drop off during the second week at the box office and the loss of over $100 million during opening weekend.
The news comes from Cinemablend, which detailed other reasons for the removal:
“Basically, this boils down to a “survival of the fittest” mentality at the box office. Theaters need to create screens for movies people might actually want to see, and Toy Story 4, Child’s Play, and the pending Spider-Man: Far From Home are going to demand a lot of screens.
Beyond that, Disney and local theaters are bracing for the onslaught that should occur when The Lion King opens on July 19. After that, Quentin Tarantino has his epic Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and you KNOW that QT cares about the theaters that are ready to present his ninth film.”
Disney doesn’t have any time to see if the results will turn around for the newest X-Men movie, as probably even fewer viewers will see it this coming weekend due to the other likely blockbusters. I was surprised by the lackluster results of the movie, as the last movie in the series, X-Men: The Last Stand, doubled its production costs.
According to TMZ, the inaugural Day N’ Vegas Festival will start November 1st, with J Cole headlining the first night. Kendrick Lamar and Travis Scott will headline Saturday and Sunday each.
Lil Uzi Vert, Tyler, the Creator, Migos, Schoolboy Q, Juice WRLD, 21 Savage, Megan Thee Stallion, Brockhampton, Lil Nas X, Kali Uchis, and Miguel are among the other artists for the event’s lineup. The same company that put together Coachella and Hangout, Goldenvoice, is assembling the three-day Las Vegas festival. Tickets go on sale June 28th at 12 pm.

This past Sunday, Nipsey Hussle was posthumously honored with the Humanitarian Award at 2019’s BET Awards.
T.I. had a few words to say about Hussle and his impact: “”There will never be another Nipsey Hussle,” he said. “He was a revolutionary. His emphasis on the power of equity and ownership of our art led the charge of independence and created a blueprint for other kind of artists today to follow…He inspired people across the world while never abandoning the community and culture that raised him. it’s been nearly three months since we lost Nip and many are still discovering how legendary he really was.”
Nipsey worked hard to make the world a better place, investing in business in poor areas, and fighting for equality nationwide. He created “Destination Crenshaw”, which was a public art experience in the Hyde Park neighborhood. He also started “Too Big to Fail”, which would create STEM learning centers for local young students.
Executive vice president of BET said in a lengthy press release, “”There will never be another Nipsey Hussle. He was a revolutionary. His emphasis on the power of equity and ownership of our art led the charge of independence and created a blueprint for other kind of artists today to follow…He inspired people across the world while never abandoning the community and culture that raised him. it’s been nearly three months since we lost Nip and many are still discovering how legendary he really was. His passing was a tremendous loss to the entertainment industry and to the culture. We will continue to remember his advocacy and be inspired by the groundwork he set forth and his dire commitment to social change. We are forever grateful, humbled and honored to have experienced his presence and we are invested in doing our part to ensure that the marathon will indeed continue. It is an immense honor for us to recognize him with this year’s Humanitarian Award.”
Friday morning, Dennis Rodman appeared on ESPN’s First Take to share his opinion on which team would win in their primes, the Golden State Warriors or his Chicago Bulls.
Naturally, Rodman choice the Bulls and even had a message to deliver to the Warriors’ Draymond Green: ““Keep getting your teeth straight, honey. And listen to your mama.”
Realizing that he might have went too far, Rodman said that Draymond was a great player and defender, likely to save face.

That was a rough finals loss for the Warriors as I’m sure they believe they could’ve won if KD and Klay didn’t go down. Way to really rub it in, Dennis.
