Disney blamed 'Dark Phoenix' for dragging on the company's massive box office haul. Overall, the studio reported revenues of $3.8 billion during the quarter, shy of the $4.5 billion analysts had estimated, according to Refinitiv data.

In fact, "Dark Phoenix," a film obtained by Disney during the 20th Century Fox acquisition earlier this year, was the true villain of the quarter. The film disappointed at the box office, earning a dismal $65 million in the U.S. and $186 million abroad. It cost an estimated $200 million to produce the film and that's not factoring in the marketing costs of the film.
