Mirroring it's weak international performance, Dark Phoenix struggled to connect with Gen-X, landing at second place instead of the top of charts, where Aladdin continues to soar after 3 weeks.
The situation is even worse if we look at the per-screen earnings, where Dark Phoenix barely beat John Wick, which has been on circuit for 4 weeks already.
The acclaimed Elton John biopic Rocketman landed in 4th spot, making slightly less per screen than the Kandasamys, who have now spent 8 weeks on circuit.
Off-beat romantic drama The Sun is Also a Star just missed the top ten at eleven, while Sly's down-market actioner Backtrace landed in the bottom half of the bottom 10.
So overall, not a particulary good week for new releases. On a more positive note, Avengers: Endgame should have kicked over the magic 100 million line by now, becoming only the second film to do so, after stablemate Black Panther.
