Just came across this video browsing YouTube so I found an article about it. www.looper.com/143953/another-x-men-dark-phoenix-test-screening-bombs/"According to TheDisInsider editor in chief and That Hashtag Show writer Skyler Shuler, studio 20th Century Fox recently held yet another test screening for Dark Phoenix to collect audience's reactions and gauge how well the film might do upon its wide theatrical release this summer. What Fox likely hoped would be a successful pre-premiere showing apparently turned out disastrous, as the screening is said to have completely bombed. This is now the third Dark Phoenix test showing that has garnered an unsavory response from viewers. "Another X-Men: Dark Phoenix test screening, and guess what? I now have talked to 6 people who all went to 3 different test screenings and all of them have told me the screenings were BAD," Shuler shared on Twitter. His tweet elicited a response from a fan who attended one such Dark Phoenix screening. They detailed that "everybody LAUGHED SO HARD in a scene supposed to be so serious," to which Shuler replied, "I think I know what scene you're referring to." Earlier this month, Shuler relayed that Dark Phoenix was shaping up to earn a spot in the lower echelon of Fox's superhero films, right alongside the slapped-together, incoherent, "unmitigated … dumpster fire dressed as a movie" that was Fantastic Four — the critical failure from 2015 that was so universally hated, it sank any chances of a Fantastic Four reboot series happening at Fox. "Based on what I have heard, this movie cold [sic] be Fant4stic level BAD," tweeted Shuler. "

scabab I’ve actually talked with that guy on twitter before. He also said that he heard positive reactions from the Venom test screenings after the reshoots. Which we all know wasn’t the overall reaction since Sony didn’t left the embargo until the day of the release. Showing the studio had no faith in Venom. So a blogger hearing from a handful of people is not really a good way to determine how the overall audience reaction was. Especially, when hundreds of people go to these screenings if I am correct. The other guy the article is referring to was some random user with only 8 followers. People who attended test screenings can’t legally say anything. So I doubt he say anything publicly. Even called the guy out on this, but got no response. So I’m going to assume he didn’t see a damn thing. I wouldn’t be surprised if this latest screening went bad, as I already made a similar thread. From what I’m hearing it seems like the latest one was badly edited. But this is incompetent journalism. Though that isn’t surprising either since Looper is a claitbait site.

Haha the "source" is this guy Take a look at Skyler Shuler (@skylerhxc): twitter.com/Skylerhxc?s=09Has a background banner of "The Disinsider" (Disney insider) and a bio that reads Editor in Chief and Disney Film Expert. Yeah, sure he has no bias or agenda trying to stir up negativity towards Dark Phoenix.

scabab I don’t think this guy is a reliable source. Here is what he said earlier this month and here is what someone who worked on the film said a few days ago.

Of course all bad news involving what has mostly been a terrible franchise must be false.

Well if you don't believe that guy, you can believe in what John Campea said. Yes,the same Campea most of you like to quote and use as a reference for being a Champion of the MoS movie and DCEU in general. Maybe he will convince you of the bad news regarding Dark Phoenix. Or are you going to discredit him and his opinins as some of you tend to do when the news or opinion do not concur with yours? I would love to see that.

Hes not seen any of the test footage.

Grace was debunked 16 minutes later. How is that suppose to debunk what she said? She said that this is Kevin Feige is cancelling the movie when he doesn’t have a say in this at least until June.

This is true but, that doesn't mean that they're at a complete standstill until June. The ball is rolling. Disney has handed down their restructuring plan to Fox, and while many executives will stay where they are or make lateral moves, several will be switching sides. It's not unreasonable to imagine they're also making decisions about content by delaying or advancing assets on the schedule. That said, even if Disney did own Fox right now, the decision to take Dark Phoenix off the board would still be above Kevin's paygrade.
