>"We know when we are dropping a trailer, but we are nowhere near where we should be at this time," a marketing exec told Vanity Fair. "It’s frightening. I would be mad if I were a filmmaker."
>"What’s not normal is the elephant in the room, which is that most people there are not going to be the people that are still in the job when the movie opens," said another source at the meeting.
>"Nobody has come around and said, 'This is what’s going on.' Why can’t they just tell us that there is no place for us? Why can’t they let anyone know?" added the marketing executive. "We are not leaving because we didn’t make money for the company or we did a bad job. We are leaving because of pure capitalism."
>"I haven’t had formal talks with Disney. I know [Marvel Studios President] Kevin Feige very well. But we haven’t had formal talks because until the merger is official, they’re not allowed to have those kinds of conversations with the folks at Fox or myself," Kinberg previously said to EW. "What’s interesting is obviously I started this movie long before Disney purchased Fox, and I approached the movie knowing that it was the fourth movie with our First Class cast and that the Phoenix story for me is the ultimate X-Men story."

Fox Exec states Disney deal is hurting Dark Phoenix
Being a shite film that desecrates a great story is what hurts this movie.
>Fox exec states why Fox ended up in a position here they could be bought out.
>make shitty movie
>everyone knows its shit
>"remake" of X3
>reshoots all over
Here come the excuses.
>Fox Exec states Disney deal is hurting Dark Phoenix
Making a bunch of shit films with an unlikable cast is what's killing Dark Phoenix
They have a release date, don't they? June 7th. They have a partially-finished movie to use scenes from to make trailers. Not sure why anything is really changed for them, or why you would quit before the merger, to see if you can be retained. If people are not responding to the ads for Dark Phoenix, I doubt it has much to do with the ad people failing, nobody wants to see a remake of X-Men: The Last Stand. People don't care about this franchise under this studio anymore.
>We are not leaving because we didn’t make money for the company or we did a bad job
How much did X-Men : Apocalypse make? Less then every modern Marvel movie and every single DCEU film, right? When you have the X-Men there's no excuse for such failure
Just release it on Netflix
Even if Fox is shit, let's not forget that some changes were made because of Disney... don't forget that, for some reason, this movie originally had Skrulls.
Why is that Disney's fault? If you told me you put skulls in the dark Phoenix saga my first reactions would be "why the fuck" and "no"
