X-Men
After a five year absence in the storm of lice-action video game adaptations, Fox and Marvel bring back comic book movies in a big way with X-Men. The film's plot is the same as OTL, though the casting is slightly different. While there is some question of its September release, Fox explained it was a choice made to the glut of animated video game films flooding the market and that they knew it would be a suicide move to try and compete. The film managed a bit more than OTL, yanking an extra six million from Highlander: Endgame. This would be the start of a turnaround of fortunes for superhero movies as they entered the new millennium with a success.
