The film stars an ensemble cast including James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp, and Jessica Chastain.

Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh wrote, "#XMen: #DarkPhoenix is maintaining well... Should witness an upward trend on Sat and Sun... Wed 3.10 cr, Thu 2.10 cr, Fri 2.15 cr. Total: ₹ 7.35 cr Nett BOC [1480 screens]. India biz. Gross BOC: ₹ 8.63 cr. #XMenDarkPhoenix." Check out the tweet below.

Meanwhile, Salman Khan's massy movie is minting money at a rapid speed. The Ali Abbas Zafar actioner got mixed reviews from the critics but the true blue fans have given a thumbs up for the entertainment filled movie. On Day 3, the film has collected alot compared to what the Hollywood speaks which shows who's the winner at the BO game. The film garnered Rs 2.220 crore on Friday and that takes the total to Rs 95.50 today. The film is already a few inches far from the 100-crore club. Even though there is a whole weekend left to see if Dark Phoenix manages to catch up with the numbers of the Bollywood film but it is hardly likely to happen!
