Dark Phoenix

Sophie Turner thought she will not get another job after Game of Thrones.   Then she was cast as Jean Grey, a powerful mutant with telepathic and telekinetic powers, in two X-Men superhero movies, Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix.

Two previously successful franchises opened their most recent titles this past weekend – and failed. One of them – Universal/Illumination’s The Secret Life of Pets 2 – technically became a franchise with this sequel and, apparently, went fine, taking the top of the North American (the US and Canada) box office with $47.
