Facts? There are no facts. You say one movie is better and that is true ONLY for you.
What we do know is that more people like Marvel movies than Fox movies. That's the ONLY facts:
XM:FC-$353.6
Cap 1-$370.6
Thor 1-$449.3
This was Marvel trotting out two B list characters for the very first time against the 5th X-men movie featuring characters which started out ahead of Cap and Thor in 2000 in terms of popularity. Fox had 4 previous films to establish the characters and couldn't even make them more popular than Marvel's B team starting from scratch. Yikes...
Uh, First Class had NONE of the main characters from the previous X-films. Xavier was in a supporting role in the first three films and only had a cameo in Origins. So what the hell do you mean by “they had 4 movies to established the characters”? I believe that you haven’t watched any of the X-Men films due to your extreme lack of familiarity with them.
And Captain America and Thor are not really B-listers. Especially, Cap who is a flagship character of Marvel, one of the more recognizable Marvel heroes due to his various appearances in media, and sold more comics any Marvel solo series not named Spider-Man.

Captain America was way more popular than any X-Men in First Class.
Your opinion of the movies means nothing. Obviously The Wolverine was the most hated of the 3. We have the box office proof and it's not close:
Wolverine-$414.8
Thor 2-$644.6
IM 3-$1,214.8
Now the gap gets wider. Thor, in his 2nd movie, makes 230 million more than Logan in his 6th appearance. That's embarrassing when you start out with Logan and immediately fall behind Thor. Fox as usual, is in last place.

After Origins that was expected. Plus Thor 2 was a post-Avenger movie.
Deadpool was the movie Fox didn't want to make for a decade and they barely cared about it so it's not remotely surprising to me that it's the most popular CBM they ever released. What a shock...Fox isn't involved and it immediately gets better.
XM:Apocalypse-$543.9
Dr Strange-$677.7
DP-$783.1
Cap 3-$1,153.3
Fox is back in last place where they usually reside. They were beaten soundly by Marvel and Ryan Reynolds.

Actually, that’s not really true. If Fox didn’t care they wouldn’t have gotten the movie made and Reynolds is the one that pushes for the Deadpool films to be low budget.
Being the least popular movie is hardly "outclassing" anyone.
Logan-$616.8
Thor 3-$846.1
SM:H-$880.2
At least it's not embarrassing to lose to Spidey. But the gap between Thor and Logan is still 230 million. Fox may want to avoid putting Logan head to head against Thor in the future. ...Oh wait...we don't have to worry about that any more, do we? Fox is done screwing up the X-men.

Lol are you seriously saying the Hulk is a B-lister now? He has been one of the most popular and iconic Marvel characters for decades. They put him in the Thor movie to boost interest in the film and IIRC Marvel Studios even admitted that. Logan was a dark and depressing R-Rated western that even the filmmakers said wasn’t made for everyone. So it making less than a summer block buster with the far more iconic Hulk isn’t embarrassing at all.
And how can you say Fox screwed up the X-Men when you haven’t even watched any of the films and seemly not a fan of Marvel comics either?
