Worldwide, “Apocalypse” has amassed $510 million, making it the 3rd highest-grossing “X-Men” film ever.

Despite praise from fans and the general public with an A- Cinemascore, the film received one of the worst Rotten Tomatoes scores compared to any other film in the X-Men franchise (besides “X-Men Origin: Wolverine”) with 48%.

In related news, DEADPOOL finally ended its run with an impressive final domestic gross of $363 million. Worldwide, the film earned $780.4 million.
